purposes has been terminated by the President. This amendment is intended to clarify that goods of a current BDC member of the CARICOM may be shipped to the United States through the Bahamas and still be considered to be imported directly, provided the requirements of § 10.175(e)(1) are satisfied.

Also, the general authority citation for Part 10 is revised to reference certain General Note provisions of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS): General Note 12, which deals with provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement, General Note 17, which deals with commingled goods, and General Note 20, which authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue rules and regulations governing the admission of articles under the provisions of the tariff schedule. This document adds these reference changes.

INAPPLICABILITY OF PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENT REQUIREMENTS, DELAYED EFFECTIVE DATE REQUIREMENTS, THE REGULATORY FLEXIBILITY ACT, AND EXECUTIVE ORDER 12866

Because this regulation is necessary to support the objectives of the existing GSP program and since it constitutes a conforming amendment to a benefit already granted the general public, it is determined pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) that notice and public procedures are unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. Furthermore, for the above reasons, it is determined that good cause exists under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) for dispensing with a delayed effective date. Since this document is not subject to the notice and public procedure requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553, it is not subject to provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). This amendment does not meet the criteria for a "significant regulatory action" as specified in E.O. 12866.
