SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 16, 1998, Customs published in the Federal Register (63 FR
32916) as T.D. 98-56 a final rule document setting forth final
amendments to the Customs Regulations to reflect changes to the Customs
laws regarding recordkeeping requirements, examination of records and
witnesses, regulatory audit procedures, and judicial enforcement
contained in the Customs Modernization provisions of the North American
Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (Pub. L. 103-182, 107 Stat.
2057). The majority of those final regulatory texts are contained in
new part 163 (19 CFR part 163) which reflects general recordkeeping
requirements applicable to persons who engage in specified types of
customs transactions.
Within new part 163, Sec. 163.6 includes requirements concerning
the production and examination of entry records and prescribes the
monetary penalty assessment and additional actions that Customs may
take for a failure to comply with those requirements. Within
Sec. 163.6, paragraph (b)(2)(i) specifies the additional actions that
Customs may take and paragraph (b)(2)(ii) sets forth an exception to
the paragraph (b)(2)(i) general rule. However, the text of paragraph
(b)(2)(ii), as published, improperly included a reference to paragraph
``(b)(2)(ii)(B)'' which should have read ``(b)(2)(i)(B)''. This
document corrects this typographical error.
Correction to the Final Regulations
Sec. 163.6 [Corrected]
On page 32948, in the third column, in Sec. 163.6, in paragraph
(b)(2)(ii), the reference ``(b)(2)(ii)(B)'' is corrected to read
``(b)(2)(i)(B)''.
Dated: June 22, 1998.

Chief, Regulations Branch.
