SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act, PublicLaw 97– 446, 19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq. (‘‘the Cultural Property Imple-mentation Act’’), implements the 1970 United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Convention on theMeans of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export andTransfer of Ownership of Cultural Property (823 U.N.T.S. 231 (1972))(‘‘the Convention’’). Pursuant to the Cultural Property Implementa-tion Act, the United States entered into a bilateral agreement withAlgeria to impose import restrictions on certain Algerian archaeologi-cal material. This rule announces that the United States is nowimposing import restrictions on certain archaeological material fromAlgeria.
Determinations
Under 19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(1), the United States must make certaindeterminations before entering into an agreement to impose importrestrictions under 19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(2). On January 10, 2019, theAssistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs, UnitedStates Department of State, after consultation with and recommen-dation by the Cultural Property Advisory Committee, made the de-terminations required under the statute with respect to certain ar-chaeological material originating in Algeria that are described in theDesignated List set forth below in this document. These determina-tions include the following: (1) That the cultural patrimony of Algeriais in jeopardy from the pillage of archaeological material representingAlgeria’s cultural heritage dating from approximately 2.4 millionyears up to 250 years ago, including material starting in the Paleo-lithic period and going into the Ottoman period (19 U.S.C.2602(a)(1)(A)); (2) that the Algerian government has taken measuresconsistent with the Convention to protect its cultural patrimony (19U.S.C. 2602(a)(1)(B)); (3) that import restrictions imposed by theUnited States would be of substantial benefit in deterring a serioussituation of pillage and remedies less drastic are not available (19U.S.C. 2602(a)(1)(C)); and (4) that the application of import restric-tions as set forth in this final rule is consistent with the generalinterests of the international community in the interchange of cul-tural property among nations for scientific, cultural, and educationalpurposes (19 U.S.C. 2602(a)(1)(D)). The Assistant Secretary alsofound that the material described in the determinations meets thestatutory definition of ‘‘archaeological or ethnological material of theState Party’’ (19 U.S.C. 2601(2)).

REVOCATION OF TREATMENT RELATING TO THETARIFF CLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN SOLAR KITS
AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Department ofHomeland Security.
ACTION: Notice of revocation of treatment relating to the tariffclassification of certain solar kits.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 625(c), Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.§ 1625(c)), as amended by section 623 of title VI (Customs Modern-ization) of the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementa-tion Act (Pub. L. 103–182, 107 Stat. 2057), this notice advises inter-ested parties that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) isrevoking the treatment accorded to transactions of the importer iden-tified in Headquarters Ruling Letter (“HQ”) H298151 concerning thetariff classification of certain solar kits under the Harmonized TariffSchedule of the United States (HTSUS). Similarly, CBP is revokingany treatment previously accorded by CBP to substantially identicaltransactions. Notice of the proposed action was published in theCustoms Bulletin, Vol. 53, No. 15, on May 15, 2019. No commentswere received in response to that notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
BACKGROUND
Current customs law includes two key concepts: informed compli-ance and shared responsibility. Accordingly, the law imposes an obli-gation on CBP to provide the public with information concerning thetrade community’s responsibilities and rights under the customs andrelated laws. In addition, both the public and CBP share responsibil-ity in carrying out import requirements. For example, under section484 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. § 1484), theimporter of record is responsible for using reasonable care to enter,classify and value imported merchandise, and to provide any other

information necessary to enable CBP to properly assess duties, collectaccurate statistics, and determine whether any other applicable legalrequirement is met.
Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. § 1625(c)(2), a notice was published in theCustoms Bulletin, Vol. 53, No. 15, on May 15, 2019, proposing torevoke the treatment accorded to transactions of the importer iden-tified in HQ H298151 (attached), and to revoke or modify any rulingnot specifically identified, to reflect the analysis contained in pro-posed HQ H298151 concerning the tariff classification of certain solarkits. Any party who has received an interpretive ruling or decision(i.e., a ruling letter, internal advice memorandum or de
