DHS Issues its CBP
Semi-Annual Regulatory Agenda
The Department of Homeland Security has published its semi-annual
regulatory agenda, which contains certain U.S. Customs and Border Protection
regulatory rulemakings.
(The Treasury Department has also issued its CBP semi-annual regulatory
agenda, which contains other CBP regulatory rulemakings. See future issue of
ITT for BP summary of this Treasury document.)
This agenda is a comprehensive list of DHS’ CBP rulemakings at the
proposed, final, and completed stages, as well as rulemakings that are long
term actions. The agenda lists the regulation title; past regulation(s), if
any; the timeframe for the next regulatory action(s), if any; a brief
description of the regulation; and a contact party name and telephone number.
