This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
FederalRegister.gov retrieves relevant information about this document from Regulations.gov to provide users with additional context. This information is not part of the official Federal Register document.

Correcting amendment.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is restoring the specific authority citations originally found in parts 103 and 122 of title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations which were erroneously removed following the publication of the Enhanced Air Cargo Advance Screening (ACAS) interim final rule on November 21, 2025.
This correcting amendment is effective as of January 22, 2026.
Robert F. Altneu, Director, Regulations and Disclosure Law Division, U.S. Customs & Border Protection, by telephone at 202-325-0100 or by email at Robert.F.Altneu@cbp.dhs.gov.
On November 21, 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published the “Enhanced Air Cargo Advance Screening (ACAS)” interim final rule (IFR) which amended parts 103 and 122 of title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR parts 103 and 122) to enhance the security of flights carrying cargo into the United States. See90 FR 52796 (Nov. 21, 2025). Among other changes, CBP revised the authority citations for 19 CFR parts 103 and 122 to more accurately reflect CBP's statutory authority to carry out the ACAS program.
Specifically, CBP revised the specific authority citation for 19 CFR 103.31a to ( printed page 2698) note that section 343(a) of the Trade Act of 2002, Public Law 107-210, formerly set out as a note to 19 U.S.C. 2071, is now codified as amended at 19 U.S.C. 1415. Additionally, CBP revised the specific authority citation for 19 CFR 103.31a and added a specific authority citation for 19 CFR 122.48b to note the enactment of section 1951 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, Public Law 115-254, codified as a note to 49 U.S.C. 44901. CBP did not intend to revise any other portions of the authority citations for 19 CFR parts 103 or 122, as indicated by CBP's use of five asterisks before and after the aforementioned specific authority citation revisions. See 90 FR at 52843.
Following the publication of the Enhanced ACAS IFR, the specific authority citations for 19 CFR 103.31a and 19 CFR 122.48b were revised in accordance with CBP's intent; however, all of the other specific authority citations that existed in 19 CFR parts 103 and 122 prior to November 21, 2025, the effective date of the Enhanced ACAS IFR, were removed. This correcting amendment corrects this error by restoring the specific authority citations of 19 CFR parts 103 and 122 that existed prior to November 21, 2025. This correcting amendment does not modify any requirements promulgated through the Enhanced ACAS IFR; further public procedure prior to making these corrections is unnecessary. See5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), (d).
Therefore, in accordance with the Enhanced ACAS IFR and 19 CFR 0.2(a), DHS is issuing this correcting amendment.
For the reasons stated in the preamble, 19 CFR parts 103 and 122 are corrected by making the following correcting amendments:
1. The authority citation for part 103 is revised to read as follows:
Section 103.31 also issued under 19 U.S.C. 1431;
Section 103.31a also issued under 19 U.S.C. 2071 note, 6 U.S.C. 943, 19 U.S.C. 1415, and 49 U.S.C. 44901 note;
Section 103.33 also issued under 19 U.S.C. 1628;
Section 103.34 also issued under 18 U.S.C. 1905.
2. The authority citation for part 122 is revised to read as follows:
Section 122.22 is also issued under 46 U.S.C. 60105.
Section 122.48b also issued under 49 U.S.C. 44901 note.
Section 122.49a also issued under 8 U.S.C. 1101, 1221, 19 U.S.C. 1431, 49 U.S.C. 44909.
Section 122.49b also issued under 8 U.S.C. 1221, 19 U.S.C. 1431, 49 U.S.C. 114, 44909.

Section 122.75a also issued under 8 U.S.C. 1221, 19 U.S.C. 1431.
Section 122.75b also issued under 8 U.S.C. 1221, 19 U.S.C. 1431, 49 U.S.C. 114.
