1 "The President is authorized from time to time, as the exigencies of the service may require, to rearrange, by consolidation or otherwise the several customs-collection districts and to discontinue ports of entry by abolishing the same or establishing others in their stead: Provided, That the whole number of customs-collection districts, ports of entry, or either of them, shall at no time be made to exceed those established and authorized as on Aug. 1, 1914, except as the same may thereafter be provided by law. (19 U.S.C. 2.)

By virtue of the authority vested in him by sec. 1 of the act of Aug. 8, 1950 (64 Stat. 419), the President, by Executive Order 10289, dated Sept. 17, 1951 (16 F.R. 9499), delegated to the Secretary of the Treasury the authority theretofore vested in the President by sec. 1 of the act of Aug. 1, 1914, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2), (1) to rearrange, by consolidation or otherwise, the several customs-collection districts, (2) to discontinue ports of entry by abolishing the same and establishing others in their stead, and (8) to change from time to time the location of the headquarters in any customs-collection district as the needs of the service may require.

The first-named port in each district (in capital letters) is the headquarters port, and the asterisk preceding the name of a port indicates that marine documents may be issued at such port. The ports were created by the President's message of March 3, 1913, concerning a reorganization of the Customs Service pursuant to the Act of August 24, 1912 (37 Stat. 434; 19 U.S.C. 1). That organization has been changed by subsequent orders of the President and the Secretary of the Treasury. Orders affecting existing ports are cited in parentheses following the name of the port effected.

the United States and the ports thereof are not "ports of entry" within the meaning of these regulations.

'The customs region of New York City, N.Y., and the customs district of New York City, N.Y., are coextensive.

• Marine documents may be issued at Washington, N.C., a customs station in the customs district of Wilmington, N.C.; at Biloxi, Miss., a customs station in the customs district of Mobile, Ala.; and at Houma, La., a customs station in the customs district of New Orleans, La. Marine documents may also be issued at the commercial port of Guam, under the supervision of the district director of customs at Honolulu, Hawaii. Although the status of the port of Newark, N.J., was changed by T.D. 53786 to provide that it shall be operated as an integral part of the port of New York, N.Y., in the customs district of New York City, N.Y., marine documents may continue to be issued at Newark.
