CAFC Indicates Narrow Approach in Controversial ICP Case on Notices of Action 'Revoking' CBP Rulings
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit indicated during oral argument they could take a narrow approach to deciding the outcome of a controversial case on the scope of CBP notices of action. A Justice Department lawyer voiced concern that a Court of International Trade (CIT) decision finding a CBP notice of action improperly revoked an earlier ruling letter could force CBP to follow formal notice and comment procedure for every notice of action issued by the agency. But Federal Circuit Judges Kathleen O’Malley, Jimmie Reyna, and Eli Wallach questioned whether the particular notice of action issued to International Custom Products operated as a typical notice of action at all. The oral argument was held on Feb. 6 in Washington.

The Food and Drug Administration is proposing new requirements for the sanitary transportation of food. The agency’s proposed rule, set to be published Feb. 5, would apply to shippers, receivers, and carriers that transport human or animal food by truck or rail, including parties engaged in the international shipment of food in some circumstances. If an international shipper or carrier is subject to the rule and fails to comply, the food shipment would be refused entry into the U.S., said FDA. Any final regulations would take effect one year after publication, although small businesses would get two years to comply, said FDA. Comments on the proposed rule are due by May 31.
