one billing cycle. Appropriate e-mail
notification of a charge reversal,
however, may be just as fast and reliable
as providing notice by first class mail.
It may be appropriate, therefore, for
the Rule to allow merchants increased
flexibility in choosing the means by
which they transmit cash refunds or
notify consumers of charge reversals.
The FTC could accomplish this change
by replacing the words ‘‘first class mail’’
with the words ‘‘by any means at least
as fast and reliable as first class mail’’
in Sections 435.2(f)(1) and (2). This
would make it clear to merchants that
they could use other means, such as
private courier or electronic transfer, to
provide refunds as long as the means are
at least as fast and reliable as first class
mail. The Commission has no basis for
believing that such changes would affect
current industry compliance practice.
III. Possible Renumbering
To comport with recent rules and to
make the Rule easier to navigate, the
Commission may prefer to organize the
Rule by placing its definitions first,
followed by the Rule’s substance.
Additionally, the Commission may
prefer to organize its definitions
alphabetically. If the Commission
decides to retain the Rule, it may
propose, therefore, to reverse and
renumber Sections 435.1 and 435.2, and
array each of the terms defined in
alphabetical order.
IV. Regulatory Review Program
The Commission has determined to
review all current Commission rules
and guides periodically. These reviews
seek information about the costs and
benefits of the Commission’s rules and
guides and their regulatory and
economic impact. The information
obtained assists the Commission in
identifying rules and guides that
warrant modification or rescission.
Therefore, the Commission solicits
comment on, among other things, the
economic impact of the Mail or
Telephone Order Merchandise Rule;
possible conflict between the Rule and
state, local, or federal laws; and the
effect on the Rule of any technological,
economic, or other industry changes.

specific portion of the proposed rule,
explain the reason for any
recommended change, and include data,
information, or authority that support
such recommended change.
Background
As part of CBP’s efforts to combat
drug-smuggling activities, CBP air
commerce regulations were amended in
1975 by Treasury Decision (T.D.) 75–
201, to impose special reporting
requirements and control procedures on
certain aircraft arriving in the
continental United States via the U.S./
Mexican border, the Pacific Coast, the
Gulf of Mexico, or the Atlantic Coast
from certain locations in the southern
portion of the Western Hemisphere.
These special reporting requirements
apply to all aircraft except the
following: Public aircraft; those aircraft
operated on a regularly published
schedule, pursuant to a certificate of
public convenience and necessity or
foreign aircraft permit issued by the
Department of Transportation
authorizing interstate, overseas air
transportation; and those aircraft with a
seating capacity of more than 30
passengers or a maximum payload
capacity of more than 7,500 pounds
which are engaged in air transportation
for compensation or hire on demand
(see 19 CFR 122.23(a)). Thus, since
1975, commanders of such aircraft have
been required to furnish CBP with
timely notice of their intended arrival,
and required to land at the nearest
airport to the point of crossing
designated by CBP for processing.
Specifically, the regulations (19 CFR
122.23) provide that subject aircraft
arriving in the continental United States
from certain areas south of the United
States must furnish a notice of intended
arrival to the designated airport located
nearest the point of crossing. Section
122.24(b) (19 CFR 122.24(b)) provides
that, unless exempt, such aircraft must
land at designated airports for CBP
processing and delineates the airports
designated for reporting and processing
purposes for these aircraft.
During the previous six years, aircraft
subject to the special reporting
requirements entering the United States
from the specified foreign areas at a
point of crossing near San Antonio,
were required to land at San Antonio
International Airport (SAT) for
processing by CBP. These international
flights have been arriving at SAT since
November 2000, when SAT was
temporarily designated as an airport
where aircraft arriving from certain
southern areas could land pursuant to
section 1453 of the Tariff Suspension
and Trade Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106–476,
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
51731
Nov. 9, 2000). The Miscellaneous Trade
and Technical Corrections Act of 2004
(Pub. L. 108–429, Dec. 3, 2004)
effectively extended the airport’s
designation through November 9, 2006.
This statutory designation has now
expired. Community officials from San
Antonio, Texas and the surrounding
region have written CBP requesting that
SAT be designated by regulation as an
airport where aircraft arriving from
certain southern areas must land.
During the six years that SAT has
been statutorily designated as an airport
at which these aircraft arriving from the
south may land for customs processing,
CBP has reported no incidents or
problems arising from this designation.
Such a designation will impose no
additional burdens on CBP as CBP
already has a significant presence at
SAT, processing international
passengers arriving on scheduled
commercial airliners as a landing rights
airport. These same CBP personnel have
been processing passengers arriving
from the south since SAT was
temporarily designated as an airport
where aircraft arriving from the south
could land pursuant to the Tariff
Suspension and Trade Act of 2000. SAT
provides facilities and security and law
enforcement support services, at no
charge to CBP, to assist in the
processing of aircraft. Consequently, by
this document CBP is proposing to
permanently designate SAT as an
airport where certain aircraft, arriving in
the United States from south of the
United States, are authorized to land for
CBP processing.
Proposed Amendment to Regulations
If the proposed airport designation is
adopted, the list of designated airports,
at which certain aircraft arriving in the
continental United States from certain
areas south of the United States must
land for CBP processing, at 19 CFR
122.24(b), will be amended to include
San Antonio International Airport,
located in San Antonio, Texas.
Authority
This change is proposed under the
authority of 5 U.S.C. 301, 19 U.S.C.
1433(d), 1644a, and 1624, and the
Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public
Law 107–296 (November 25, 2002).
Signing Authority
This amendment to the regulations is
being issued in accordance with 19 CFR
0.2(a) pertaining to the authority of the
Secretary of Homeland Security (or his
or her delegate) to prescribe regulations
not related to customs revenue
functions.

The Regulatory Flexibility Act and

This proposed amendment seeks to
expand the list of designated airports at
which certain aircraft may land for
customs processing. As described in this
document, certain international flights
have been arriving at SAT, pursuant to
statute, from November 2000, through
November 9, 2006. The expansion of the
list of designated airports to include
SAT will not result in any new impact
on affected parties but will result in a
continuation of the previous situation.
Therefore, CBP certifies that the
proposed rule will not have significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Accordingly,
the document is not subject to the
regulatory analysis or other
requirements of 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604 of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C.

authority that support such recommended change.
Background
As part of CBP's efforts to combat drug-smuggling activities, CBP
air commerce regulations were amended in 1975 by Treasury Decision
(T.D.) 75-201, to impose special reporting requirements and control
procedures on certain aircraft arriving in the continental United
States via the U.S./Mexican border, the Pacific Coast, the Gulf of
Mexico, or the Atlantic Coast from certain locations in the southern
portion of the Western Hemisphere. These special reporting requirements
apply to all aircraft except the following: Public aircraft; those
aircraft operated on a regularly published schedule, pursuant to a
certificate of public convenience and necessity or foreign aircraft
permit issued by the Department of Transportation authorizing
interstate, overseas air transportation; and those aircraft with a
seating capacity of more than 30 passengers or a maximum payload
capacity of more than 7,500 pounds which are engaged in air
transportation for compensation or hire on demand (see 19 CFR
122.23(a)). Thus, since 1975, commanders of such aircraft have been
required to furnish CBP with timely notice of their intended arrival,
and required to land at the nearest airport to the point of crossing
designated by CBP for processing.
Specifically, the regulations (19 CFR 122.23) provide that subject
aircraft arriving in the continental United States from certain areas
south of the United States must furnish a notice of intended arrival to

122.24(b) (19 CFR 122.24(b)) provides that, unless exempt, such

delineates the airports designated for reporting and processing
purposes for these aircraft.
During the previous six years, aircraft subject to the special
reporting requirements entering the United States from the specified
foreign areas at a point of crossing near San Antonio, were required to
land at San Antonio International Airport (SAT) for processing by CBP.
These international flights have been arriving at SAT since November
2000, when SAT was temporarily designated as an airport where aircraft
arriving from certain southern areas could land pursuant to section
1453 of the Tariff Suspension and Trade Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-476,

2004 (Pub. L. 108-429, Dec. 3, 2004) effectively extended the airport's
designation through November 9, 2006.
This statutory designation has now expired. Community officials
from San Antonio, Texas and the surrounding region have written CBP

During the six years that SAT has been statutorily designated as an

This change is proposed under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 301, 19

The Regulatory Flexibility Act and Executive Order 12866
This proposed amendment seeks to expand the list of designated
