Background
On October 24, 2012, CBP published
a general notice in the Federal Register
(77 FR 65006, corrected in 77 FR
65395 1) announcing that CBP is
formalizing and expanding the ACAS
pilot to include other eligible
participants in the air cargo
environment. The notice provides a
description of the ACAS pilot, sets forth
eligibility requirements for
participation, and invites public
comments on any aspect of the test. In
brief, the ACAS pilot revises the time
frame for pilot participants to transmit
a subset of mandatory advance
electronic information for air cargo. CBP
regulations implementing the Trade Act

of 2002 specify the required data
elements and the time frame for
submitting them to CBP. Pursuant to
title 19, Code of Federal Regulations (19
CFR) 122.48a, the required advance
information for air cargo must be
submitted no later than the time of
departure of the aircraft for the United
States (from specified locations) or four
hours prior to arrival in the United
States for all other locations.
The ACAS pilot is a voluntary test in
which participants agree to submit a
subset of the required 19 CFR 122.48a
data elements (ACAS data) at the
earliest point practicable prior to
loading of the cargo onto the aircraft
destined to or transiting through the
United States. The ACAS data is used to
target high-risk air cargo. CBP is
considering possible amendments to the
regulations regarding advance
information for air cargo. The results of
the ACAS pilot will help determine the
relevant data elements, the time frame
within which data must be submitted to
permit CBP to effectively target, identify
and mitigate any risk with the least
impact practicable on trade operations,
and any other related procedures and
policies.
Extension of the ACAS Pilot Period and
Reopening of the Application Period
The October 2012 notice announced
that the ACAS pilot would run for six
months. The notice provided that if CBP
determined that the pilot period should
be extended, CBP would publish
another notice in the Federal Register.
The October 2012 notice also stated that
applications for new ACAS pilot
participants would be accepted until
November 23, 2012. CBP subsequently
published several notices extending the
pilot period and/or reopening the
application period to new participants
for limited periods. On December 26,
2012, CBP published a notice in the
Federal Register (77 FR 76064)
E:\FR\FM\28JYN1.SGM
28JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 144 / Monday, July 28, 2014 / Notices
reopening the application period for
new participants until January 8, 2013.
On January 3, 2013, the Federal Register
published a correction (78 FR 315)
stating that the correct date of the close
of the reopened application period was
January 10, 2013. On April 23, 2013,
CBP published a notice in the Federal
Register (78 FR 23946) extending the
ACAS pilot period through October 26,
2013, and reopening the application
period through May 23, 2013. Finally,
on October 23, 2013, CBP published a
notice in the Federal Register (78 FR
63237) extending the ACAS pilot period
through July 26, 2014, and reopening
the application period through
December 23, 2013.
CBP would like to extend the pilot
further to enable CBP to continue to
strengthen its capability to target highrisk cargo earlier in the supply chain
and provide greater opportunity for
additional members of the air cargo
community to participate and prepare
for possible proposed regulatory
changes. There are current participants
that are in the process of testing and
development that still need time to
become fully operational participants
and there continue to be members of the
air cargo community who have
informed CBP that they are interested in
participating in the pilot.
For these reasons, CBP is extending
the ACAS pilot period through July 26,
2015, and reopening the application
period through September 26, 2014.
Anyone interested in participating in
the ACAS pilot should refer to the
notice published in the Federal Register
on October 24, 2012, for additional
application information and eligibility
requirements.
