Department of Homeland Security April 15, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) of the Department of Homeland Security has submitted the following information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act: Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT). This is a proposed extension of an information collection that was previously approved. CBP is proposing that this information collection be extended with no change to the burden hours. This document is published to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register (75 FR 6678) on February 10, 2010, allowing for a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.10.

By this final rule, the Coast Guard is placing the Inland Navigation Rules into the Code of Federal Regulations. This move is in accordance with the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2004, which repeals the Inland Navigation Rules as of the effective date of these regulations. Future updates of the Inland Navigation Rules will be accomplished through rulemaking rather than legislation.
