OIRA Completes Review of Census Rule to Remove EEI Filing Requirements for Puerto Rico

The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs completed review of a Census Bureau rule to remove certain filing requirements for exporters shipping goods to Puerto Rico. The rule, which will be issued first as an advance notice of proposed rulemaking, stemmed from Puerto Rico's requests to remove the requirements, which it said were burdensome (see 2006030043). OIRA received the rule May 22 and completed its review Aug 10.
