PART 177_ADMINISTRATIVE RULINGS--Table of Contents

 

                   Subpart A_General Ruling Procedure

 

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part may be treated as withdrawn.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.
