or transport imported merchandise which has not been released from customs shall be required to be furnished. The Bureau is of the further opinion that the Customs Regulations should include a provision authorizing collectors, in their discretion, to require customs licensed cartmen and lightermen to make and keep such written records relating to cartage or lighterage of imported merchandise which has not been released from customs as may be needed for purposes of local customs administration. Accordingly, the Customs Regulations are hereby amended as follows: Section 21.1 (a) is amended by deleting "for a term of 1 year" at the end of the second sentence; by amending the fifth sentence to read: The license shall remain in force and effect as long as the required bond is considered sufficient or until the license is suspended or terminated. ; and by deleting the last sentence and substituting the following matter therefor: The collector may require the applicant for a license to furnish a list showing the names and addresses of the managing officers and members of the organization or of the persons who will receive or transport imported merchandise which has not been released from customs, or a list of all such persons and their addresses. An applicant shall be required in each case to undertake to surrender promptly to the collector the identification cards of persons no longer employed by the applicant or give reasons satisfactory to the collector why such cards cannot be surrendered. The collector may also require an applicant to undertake to furnish, at such times and intervals as the collector deems necessary, a current list showing the names and addresses of the managing officers and members of the organization or of the persons who will receive or transport imported merchandise which has not been released from customs, or a list of all such persons and their addresses. A license shall be subject to suspension for failure to comply with the requirements of the two preceding sentences, or it may be revoked for sufficiently good cause. Section 21.2 is amended by deleting ", revocation or lapse" in the next to the last sentence and substituting therefor "or termination". Section 21.6 is amended by adding the following sentence: Such customs order or rule may include a requirement by the collector that customs licensed cartmen and lightermen shall make, keep, and promptly submit for customs inspection and examination upon request therefor such current written records relating to cartage and lighterage as may be needed for purposes of local customs administration. (Secs. 565, 624, 46 Stat. 747, 759; 19 U. S. C. 1565, 1624.) PART 24-CUSTOMS FINANCIAL AND ACCOUNTING PROCEDURE To delete a provision which will be inapplicable when cartage and lighterage licenses are issued for an indefinite period, section 24.12 (a) (1) of the Customs Regulations is amended by deleting the last sentence. (R. S. 161, 251, sec. 624, 46 Stat. 759; 5 U. S. C. 22, 19 U. S. C. 66, 1624.) The above amendments to sections 21.1 (a), 21.2, and 24.12 (a) (1) of the Customs Regulations shall be effective as soon as customs Form 3857 "License for Cartmen and/or Lightermen" has been revised and is available for use. Thereafter, as applications are made for new licenses or for extensions of licenses to cart or lighter, licenses shall be granted for indefinite periods in accordance with the regulations as hereby amended. The other amendments above shall be effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register. When customs Form 3855, Bond of Customs Cartman or Lighterman, is reprinted the word "termination" will be substituted for "expiration or revocation" in the first line of condition (4).

C. TITLE 19-CUSTOMS DUTIES CHAPTER I-BUREAU OF CUSTOMS PART 22-DRAWBACK Applications to collectors of customs for the issuance of certificates of importation for drawback purposes under section 22.14 (a) of the Customs Regulations are now required to be made in writing but no particular form has been provided for use in making such applications. Frequently such applications do not contain sufficient information to enable the collector to issue the certificate, and this fact usually requires correspondence with the applicant to obtain the additional information necessary to issue the certificate. In order to eliminate the necessity for such correspondence, a new form, designated as customs Form No. 5263, entitled "Application for Issuance of Certificate(s) of Importation for Drawback Purposes," has been been devised for use in making such applications. To provide for the use of this new form, section 22.14 (a) of the Customs Regulations is hereby amended to read as follows: (a) If the merchandise identified in the drawback entry or certificate of manufacture was not imported at a port within the customs collection district where the entry or certificate of manufacture is filed, the collector of customs of the district where the merchandise was imported shall, upon application by the importer or the party to whom the delivery of such merchandise has been certified, issue to the collector at the port named a certificate of importation on customs Form 5265 bearing a notation showing the date on which the application for the issuance of the certificate was filed. Such application shall be made on customs Form 5263 or in a substantially similar form. (Secs. 313, 624, 46 Stat. 693, as amended, 759; 19 U. S. C. 1313, 1624.) New customs Form 5263 "Application or Issuance of Certificate(s) of Importation for Drawback Purposes," will not be salable. It is anticipated that this form will be printed and available for distribution and use within 90 days. Supplies may be obtained by submitting requisitions therefor on customs Form 3039 to the Section of Forms, Customs Information Exchange, 201 Varick Street, New York 14, New York. This amendment shall become effective as to applications filed on and after October 1, 1956. (731) Approved June 4, 1956: DAVID W. KENDALL, RALPH KELLY, Commissioner of Customs.
