{"abstract":"This document adopts as final, with changes, proposed amendments to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations modernizing the customs broker regulations. CBP is transitioning all customs brokers to a single national permit and expanding the scope of the national permit authority to allow national permit holders to conduct any type of customs business throughout the customs territory of the United States. To accomplish this, CBP is eliminating broker districts and district permits, which in turn removes the need for the maintenance of district offices, and district permit waivers. CBP is also updating, among other changes, the responsible supervision and control oversight framework, ensuring that customs business is conducted within the United States, and requiring that a customs broker have direct communication with an importer. These changes are designed to enable customs brokers to meet the challenges of the modern operating environment while maintaining a high level of service in customs business. Further, CBP is increasing fees for the broker license application to recover some of the costs associated with the review of customs broker license applications and the necessary vetting of individuals and business entities (i.e., partnerships, associations, and corporations). Additionally, CBP is announcing the deployment of a new online system, the eCBP Portal, for processing broker submissions and electronic payments. Lastly, CBP is publishing a concurrent final rule document to eliminate all references to customs broker district permit user fees (see \"Elimination of Customs Broker District Permit Fee\" RIN 1515-AE43) to align with the changes made in this final rule document.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY","name":"Homeland Security Department","id":227,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/homeland-security-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/227","parent_id":null,"slug":"homeland-security-department"},{"raw_name":"U.S. Customs and Border Protection","name":"U.S. Customs and Border Protection","id":501,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/u-s-customs-and-border-protection","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/501","parent_id":227,"slug":"u-s-customs-and-border-protection"},{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY","name":"Treasury Department","id":497,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/treasury-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/497","parent_id":null,"slug":"treasury-department"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2022/10/18/2022-22445.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"24","title":19},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"111","title":19}],"citation":"87 FR 63267","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This final rule is effective December 19, 2022.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["USCBP-2020-0009"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[],"agency_name":"TREAS","documents":[{"comment_count":0,"comment_start_date":"2022-10-18","updated_at":"2023-02-27T21:05:54.277-05:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/TREAS_FRDOC_0001-0421","allow_late_comments":null,"id":"TREAS_FRDOC_0001-0421","comment_end_date":null,"regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":0,"id":"TREAS_FRDOC_0001","title":"Financial Crimes Enforcement Network;
