PART 177--ADMINISTRATIVE RULINGS--Table of Contents

Sec. 177.31  Reexamination of final determinations.

    A party-at-interest, other than the party-at-interest which 
requested and received the initial final determination, may ask Customs 
to consider the matter anew and issue, on an expedited basis, a new 
final determination. Such a request shall specifically identify the 
previous final determination. Upon receipt of such a request, Customs 
will issue a new final determination within five working days of receipt 
of the request unless (a) the previous final determination was the 
subject of a contested lawsuit timely filed in the Court of 
International Trade under 28 U.S.C. 1581(e) or, (b) the merchandise at 
issue in the initial final determination was tendered and deemed 
responsive to the request for proposals or an invitation for bids in a 
competitive procurement subject to the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. 10a 
et seq.) and a contract under such procurement was let. Any new final 
determination issued under this section shall be published in accordance 
with Sec. 177.29 and is reviewable under Sec. 177.30.
