Title: Administrative Rulings and Protests 
Abstract: Amendments to implement the administrative rulings process as well as the filing and administrative review of protests against specific decisions of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Amendments reflect changes to the underlying statutory authority to parts 177 and 174 of title 19 of the CFR made by the Customs Modernization Provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Implementation Act. Proposed changes to part 174 also reflect statutory amendments made by the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 1999 regarding protests against decisions on post-importation NAFTA claims and the time required for allowing or denying an application for further review of a protest. Additional changes to part 174 are proposed to reflect statutory amendments made by the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 2004, which impact the types of matters that are subject to protest, and extend various protest time limits such as the time to file and amend a protest, the time for a surety to file a protest, and the time to file a request for accelerated disposition of a protest. Other changes proposed serve to modernize, clarify, and enhance current CBP administrative rulings and protest procedures and reflect the nomenclature changes effected by the transfer of CBP to the Department of Homeland Security and the subsequent renaming of the U.S. Customs Service as the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection.
