0605-AA76 202510 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0605 General Administration ADMIN 0600 Department of Commerce DOC Removing Outdated Language from Regulatory Definitions of "United States"

By this rule, the Department of Commerce (Department) amends the definition of the term United States set forth in two of its regulations. Specifically, this rule amends 15 CFR 8.3(c) and 20.3(o) by removing their references to the Canal Zone, which is no longer part of the United States, and by making other minor edits to ensure that the two definitions are identical. This action is necessary to ensure that the Department’s regulations are accurate, up-to-date, and consistent. The intended effect is to eliminate outdated language, reduce inconsistencies across the Department’s regulations, and minimize the possibility of confusion.
