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.
