<body>
<p>This rule&nbsp;amends U.S. Customs&nbsp;and Border Protection&nbsp;regulations with respect to administrative rulings concerning the importation of articles that may be subject to exclusion orders issued by the United States International Trade Commission under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The&nbsp;amendments seek to promote the speed, accuracy, and transparency of such rulings through the creation of an inter partes proceeding to replace the current ex parte process.</p>
