PART 177--ADMINISTRATIVE RULINGS--Table of Contents

Sec. 177.3  Nonconforming requests for rulings.

    A person submitting a request for a ruling that does not comply with 
all of the provisions of this part will be so notified in writing, and 
the requirements that have not been met will be pointed out. Except in 
the case of ruling requests submitted to Area or District offices, such 
person will be given a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the 
notice (or such longer period as the notice may provide) to supply any 
additional information that is requested or otherwise conform the ruling 
request to the requirements referred to in the notice. The Customs 
Service file with respect to ruling requests which are not brought into 
compliance with the provisions of this part within the period of time 
allowed will be administratively closed and the request removed from 
active consideration until such time as the deficiencies cited in the 
notice are corrected. A request for a ruling that is

removed from active consideration by reason of failing to comply with 
the provisions of this part may be treated as withdrawn. In the case of 
ruling requests made to Area or District offices, a failure to comply 
with the provisions of this part will result in the return of the ruling 
request with the notice specifying the deficiencies and such requests 
will not be considered as having been filed until such deficiencies are 
corrected.
