HQ H055599 March 26, 2009 VES-315-OT:RR:BSTC:CCI H055599 LLB Constantine G. Papavizas, Esquire Winston and Strawn, LLP 1700 K Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20006-3817 Dear Mr. Papavizas: This letter is to inform you that pursuant to 19 C.F.R. § 177.12(b)(2008), this office is revoking HQ H046137 (Feb. 20, 2009) effective immediately. In HQ H046137, this office determined that the "Christmas Trees" described therein, transported between coastwise points on the Outer Continental Shelf, constituted vessel equipment the transportation of which would not be in violation of 46 U.S.C. § 55103. After careful consideration, we have determined that it is necessary to further clarify the definition of vessel equipment as well as review past rulings in which this office determined certain transported items were vessel equipment. Accordingly, it is in the best interest of CBP to revoke HQ H046137 while the foregoing determination is being made. If you have any further questions, you may contact me at 202-325-0212. Sincerely, Glen E. Vereb Chief Cargo Security, Carriers and Immigration Branch
