SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 101.3, Customs Regulations (19 CFR 101.3), lists as one of
Customs ports of entry Philadelphia-Chester, Pa. and Wilmington, Del.
This port includes the named cities and includes Camden, Gloucester
City and Salem, New Jersey and territory described in T.D. 84-195. The
port of entry is popularly known as the Consolidated Port of
Philadelphia.
After a meeting with trade community representatives from both
Wilmington, Delaware and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Customs has
determined that the name of the consolidated port should be changed to
the Consolidated Port of the Delaware River and Bay, and that
participating ports within the consolidated port would be identified.
The Wilmington, Delaware trade community strongly favors such a name
change, and the Philadelphia trade community has not expressed any
objection to that suggestion.
Proposal
Accordingly, Customs is proposing in this document to change the
name of the port of Philadelphia-Chester, PA. and Wilmington, Del.,
popularly known as the Consolidated Port of Philadelphia to the
Consolidated Port of the Delaware River and Bay. If the proposed name
change of the port is adopted, the list of ports in 19 CFR 101.3(b)
will be amended accordingly.
Comments
Before adopting this proposal, consideration will be given to any
written comments (preferably in triplicate) that are timely submitted
to Customs. All such comments received from the public pursuant to this
notice of proposed rulemaking will be available for public inspection
in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552),

Sec. 103.11(b), Customs Regulations (19 CFR 103.11(b)), during regular
business days between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the
Regulations Branch, 1099 14th Street NW., Suite 4000, Washington, DC.
