Department of Homeland Security 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) of the Department of Homeland Security will be submitting the following information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act: Regulations Relating to Recordation and Enforcement of Trademarks and Copyrights (Part 133 of the Customs Regulations). 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 24731) on May 5, 2010, allowing for a 60-day comment period. One comment was received. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.10.

In the Federal Register published on June 8, 2010, the Coast Guard placed the Interim Rule for the Regulated Navigation Area; Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, Inner Harbor Navigation Canal, Harvey Canal, Algiers Canal, New Orleans, LA into the Code of Federal Regulations. That publication contained an error in the DATES section, stating an incorrect May 21, 2010 effective date. This error does not impact the Interim Rule's correct May 24, 2010 effective date because the rule is to be enforced only 24 hours in advance of, and during the duration of specified predicted weather conditions. In fact, the conditions to enforce this rule between the published effective date and the correct effective date did not occur. But, this error may cause confusion among members of the public.
