Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR): Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Withdrawal
The Census Bureau’s Economic Management Division (EMD) is announcing the publication of an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) Withdrawal on its consideration to remove the Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing requirement for shipments between the United States and Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). The Census Bureau has decided to continue the current EEI filing requirement for Puerto Rico and the USVI and continue to publish the U.S. Trade with Puerto Rico and U.S. Possessions (FT-895) Publication Series. This decision to withdraw the ANPRM was made after careful consideration based on the feedback received from the ANPRM and discussions between the Census Bureau and several stakeholders. The Census Bureau will continue to collect the EEI because there is no alternative data source that yields the same high-quality data for Puerto Rico and the USVI.
The notice can be found in its entirety at 2022-02341.pdf (govinfo.gov). For further information or questions about the FTR, contact the Trade Regulations Branch (TRB), EMD.
