Because CBP wished to continue its practice of not requiring business submitters of commercial information to designate such information as protected from disclosure, it published an interim rule in the Federal Register (68 FR 47453) on August 11, 2003, as CBP Decision 03–02 that amended Part 103 of the CBP regulations by adding a new § 103.35 to subpart C. New § 103.35 adopted Treasury’s established disclosure procedure that had been followed by Customs since 1987 to assure the trading community that the transfer of Customs from Treasury to DHS would not affect the treatment of commercial information that business submitters provide to CBP. The comment period for the interim regulations closed on October 10, 2003. No comments were received from the public in response to the interim rule, and CBP is now adopting the interim rule as a final rule without change. This final rule is being issued in accordance with 19 CFR 0.2(a) pertaining to the authority of the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, or his or her designee, to issue Customs regulations that are not related to customs revenue functions. Regulatory Flexibility Act and Executive Order 12866 As discussed above, these regulations were published as an interim rule on August 11, 2003. Because no notice of proposed rulemaking was required, the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. Further, this document does not meet the criteria for a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ as specified in Executive Order 12866. List of Subjects in 19 CFR Part 103 Administrative practice and procedure, Confidential commercial information, Freedom of Information, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Amendments to the Regulations For the reasons set forth above, the interim rule amending part 103 of title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR part 103), which was published in the Federal Register at 68 FR 47453 on August 11, 2003, is adopted as a final rule without change. sroberts on PROD1PC70 with RULES VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:51 Sep 13, 2006 Jkt 208001 Systems Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, room 12C–06, Rockville, MD 20857, 301–443– 7577.
