Please see https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/edgar taxonomies.shtml for a complete list of supported standard taxonomies. Along with the adoption of the Filer Manual, we are amending Rule 301 of Regulation S–T to provide for the incorporation by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations of these revisions. This incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. The updated EDGAR Filer Manual will be available for Web site viewing and printing; the address for the Filer Manual is https://www.sec.gov/info/ edgar/edmanuals.htm. You may also obtain paper copies of the EDGAR Filer Manual from the following address: Public Reference Room, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549, on official business days between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Since the Filer Manual and the corresponding rule changes relate solely to agency procedures or practice, publication for notice and comment is not required under the Administrative Procedure Act (‘‘APA’’).5 It follows that the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act 6 do not apply. The effective date for the updated Filer Manual and the rule amendments is July 28, 2017. In accordance with the APA,7 we find that there is good cause to establish an effective date less than 30 days after publication of these rules. The EDGAR system upgrade to Release 17.2 is scheduled to become available on July 17, 2017. The Commission believes that establishing an effective date less than 30 days after publication of these rules is necessary to coordinate the effectiveness of the updated Filer Manual with these system upgrades. asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with RULES Statutory Basis We are adopting the amendments to Regulation S–T under Sections 6, 7, 8, 10, and 19(a) of the Securities Act of 1933,8 Sections 3, 12, 13, 14, 15, 23, and 35A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,9 Section 319 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939,10 and Sections 8, 30, 31, and 38 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.11 55 U.S.C. 553(b)(A).

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) periodically reviews its regulations to ensure that they are current, correct, and consistent. Through this review process, CBP discovered some discrepancies. This document amends certain sections of title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations to remedy these discrepancies. SUMMARY: DATES: The final rule is effective July 28, 2017. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Grace A. Kim, Regulations and Rulings, Office of Trade, (202) 325–7941. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background It is the policy of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to periodically review title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR) to ensure that it is accurate and up-to-date so that the importing and general public is aware of CBP programs, requirements, and procedures regarding import-related activities. As part of this review policy, CBP has determined that certain corrections to 19 CFR parts 159 and 181 are necessary. Discussion of Changes Part 159 Section 159.58 (19 CFR 159.58) concerns the suspension of liquidation by CBP when there are antidumping and countervailing duty determinations. The references to part 353 of title 19 CFR in 19 CFR 159.58(a) and to part 355 of title 19 CFR in 19 CFR 159.58(b) are incorrect. On May 19, 1997, the U.S. E:\FR\FM\28JYR1.SGM 28JYR1 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 144 / Friday, July 28, 2017 / Rules and Regulations Department of Commerce revised its regulations on antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings to conform to the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (62 FR 27296) (May 19, 1997) which resulted in a new part 351 and the deletion of parts 353 and 355. Accordingly, this document makes conforming changes to §§ 159.58(a) and 159.58(b) to reflect this revision. Part 181 Subpart D of Part 181 of title 19 deals with post-importation duty refund claims under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Section 181.33(d)(1) lists instances wherein a port director may deny a postimportation duty refund claim for preferential tariff treatment for imported goods under the NAFTA, and it references § 181.32(b)(3) in the context of the validity of a Certificate of Origin. This is not the correct reference. The proper reference should be to § 181.32(b)(2), which references the requirement to file a Certificate of Origin with respect to the imported goods. Accordingly, this document makes changes to § 181.33(d)(1) to reference § 181.32(b)(2) instead of § 181.32(b)(3).

The special controls that will apply to the device are identified in this order and will be part of the codified language for the adjunctive cardiovascular status indicator’s classification.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: I. Background In accordance with section 513(f)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360c(f)(1)), devices that were not in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976 (the date of enactment of the Medical Device Amendments of 1976), generally referred to as postamendments devices, are classified automatically by statute into class III without any FDA rulemaking process. These devices remain in class III and require premarket approval unless and until the device is classified or reclassified into class I or II, or FDA issues an order finding the device to be substantially equivalent, in accordance with section 513(i) of the FD&C Act, to a predicate device that does not require premarket approval. The Agency determines whether new devices are substantially equivalent to predicate devices by means of premarket notification procedures in section 510(k) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360(k)) and part 807 (21 CFR part 807) of the regulations.

Technical Corrections to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
Regulations

AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Department of Homeland 
Security; Department of the Treasury.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) periodically reviews 
its regulations to ensure that they are current, correct, and 
consistent. Through this review process, CBP discovered some 
discrepancies. This document amends certain sections of title 19 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations to remedy these discrepancies.

DATES: The final rule is effective July 28, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Grace A. Kim, Regulations and Rulings, 
Office of Trade, (202) 325-7941.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    It is the policy of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
periodically review title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (19 
CFR) to ensure that it is accurate and up-to-date so that the importing 
and general public is aware of CBP programs, requirements, and 
procedures regarding import-related activities. As part of this review 
policy, CBP has determined that certain corrections to 19 CFR parts 159 
and 181 are necessary.

Discussion of Changes

Part 159

    Section 159.58 (19 CFR 159.58) concerns the suspension of 
liquidation by CBP when there are antidumping and countervailing duty 
determinations. The references to part 353 of title 19 CFR in 19 CFR 
159.58(a) and to part 355 of title 19 CFR in 19 CFR 159.58(b) are 
incorrect. On May 19, 1997, the U.S.

[[Page 35065]]

Department of Commerce revised its regulations on antidumping and 
countervailing duty proceedings to conform to the Uruguay Round 
Agreements Act (62 FR 27296) (May 19, 1997) which resulted in a new 
part 351 and the deletion of parts 353 and 355. Accordingly, this 
document makes conforming changes to Sec. Sec.  159.58(a) and 159.58(b) 
to reflect this revision.

Part 181

    Subpart D of Part 181 of title 19 deals with post-importation duty 
refund claims under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). 
Section 181.33(d)(1) lists instances wherein a port director may deny a 
post-importation duty refund claim for preferential tariff treatment 
for imported goods under the NAFTA, and it references Sec.  
181.32(b)(3) in the context of the validity of a Certificate of Origin. 
This is not the correct reference. The proper reference should be to 
Sec.  181.32(b)(2), which references the requirement to file a 
Certificate of Origin with respect to the imported goods. Accordingly, 
this document makes changes to Sec.  181.33(d)(1) to reference Sec.  
181.32(b)(2) instead of Sec.  181.32(b)(3).

Inapplicability of Notice and Delayed Effective Date

    As the technical corrections set forth in this document merely 
conform to existing law and regulation, CBP finds that good cause 
exists for dispensing with notice and public procedure as unnecessary 
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). For this same reason, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
553(d)(3), CBP finds that good cause exists for dispensing with the 
requirement for a delayed effective date.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Because this document is not subject to the notice and public 
procedure requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553, it is not subject to the 
provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).

Executive Order 12866

    These amendments do not meet the criteria for a ``significant 
regulatory action'' as specified in Executive Order 12866, as 
supplemented by Executive Order 13563.

Signing Authority

    This document is limited to technical corrections of the CBP 
regulations. Accordingly, it is being signed under the authority of 19 
CFR 0.1(b)(1).
