ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This final rule amends U.S. Customs and Border Pro- tection regulations regarding the requirements to provide data for certain exported cargo to conform to current requirements. Various CBP regulations regarding exported cargo refer to outdated regula- tions or requirements of the U.S. Census Bureau, including the re- quirement to submit a paper Shipper’s Export Declaration (SED). The U.S. Census Bureau’s Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) have been amended to eliminate the SED and to require that the informa- tion that was previously provided on the paper SED be filed electroni- cally through the Automated Export System. This rule amends the CBP regulations to incorporate the current requirements. The rule also makes related conforming changes as well as non-substantive editorial and nomenclature changes. DATES: This final rule is effective on July 13, 2017. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert C.

    (Previous Version) Export Allocation Rule on Medical Supplies and Equipment for COVID-19 Release Date: May 19, 2021 *This document was updated as of May 19, 2021 FEMA published a Temporary Final Rule (TFR) in the Federal Register on Dec. 31, 2020 which allocates certain scarce critical health and medical resources for domestic use to ensure needs are met for the American public during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an extension and modification of a previous TFR published on August 10, 2020 and April 10, 2020, which outlined the implementation of the President’s Memorandum, “ Allocating Certain Scarce or Threatened Health and Medical Resources to Domestic Use ” issued on April 3, 2020. This extension allows the rule to remain in effect, with certain modifications, through June 30, 2021. To reflect changing circumstances, modifications were made to the types of exports of certain health and medical resources that FEMA will review and may hold for domestic use. Specifically, FEMA narrowed the scope of the surgical masks subject to the order (see below). Additionally, the agency added certain types of syringes and hypodermic needles to the order, so that these items can be assessed by FEMA prior to export. Updated May 19, 2021, the health and medical resources subject to this allocation order include: Surgical N95 Respirators, that are single-use, disposable respiratory protective devices used in a healthcare setting that are worn by healthcare personnel during procedures to protect both the patient and HCP from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material at an N95 filtration efficiency level per 42 CFR 84.181.
