  CHAPTER I--UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
 
PART 171--FINES, PENALTIES, AND FORFEITURES--Table of Contents
 
              Subpart G--Supplemental Petitions for Relief
 
Sec. 171.63  Appeals to the Secretary of the Treasury in certain 1592 cases.

    A petitioner filing a supplemental petition pursuant to this subpart 
from a decision of the Chief, Penalties Branch, Office of Regulations 
and Rulings, with respect to any liability assessed under 19 U.S.C. 1592 
may request that the petition be accepted as an appeal to the Secretary 
of the Treasury. The Secretary will accept for decision any such 
supplemental petition when in his discretion he determines that such 
petition raises a question of fact, law or policy of such importance as 
to require a decision by the Secretary. If the Secretary declines to 
accept an appeal for decision, the petitioner will be so informed. In 
such a case, a decision will be issued thereon by the Director, 
International Trade Compliance Division.
