SUMMARY: This document corrects an error appearing in an appendix to
the final regulations relating to drawback (T.D. 98-16) that were
published in the Federal Register (63 FR 10970) on March 5, 1998.
EFFECTIVE DATE: April 6, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The final regulations (T.D. 98-16) that were published in the
Federal Register on March 5, 1998 (63 FR 10970) revised part 191 of the
Customs Regulations relating to drawback (19 CFR part 191). These final
regulations contained an error in one of the general manufacturing
drawback rulings in Appendix A to part 191, that could prove
misleading. This document corrects the error.
Need for Correction
In Appendix A to part 191, the introductory text for general
manufacturing drawback ruling ``IV.'' incorrectly describes the
exported articles that are manufactured under the ruling as burlap or
other textile material. As made clear in the body of the general
ruling, however, the exported articles in fact consist of bags or meat
wrappers. The bags or meat wrappers are manufactured from imported
burlap or other textile material.
The general ruling is largely a republication of a general drawback
contract that formerly appeared in the Customs Bulletin in T.D. 83-53,
17 Cust. Bull. 96 (1983). As published, the introductory text in T.D.
83-53 misdescribed the exported articles. This error was repeated in
the corresponding introductory text of general manufacturing drawback
ruling ``IV.'' in Appendix A to part 191.
Accordingly, this document corrects the introductory text of
general manufacturing drawback ruling ``IV.'' to properly reflect the
exported articles that are manufactured under the ruling.
