SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    Section 641 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1641), 
provides that a person (an individual, corporation, association, or 
partnership) must hold a valid customs broker's license and permit in 
order to transact customs business on behalf of others, sets forth 
standards for the issuance of broker's licenses and permits, and 
provides for the taking of disciplinary action against brokers that 
have engaged in specified types of infractions. This section also 
provides that an examination may be conducted to assess an applicant's 
qualifications for a license.
    The regulations issued under the authority of section 641 are set 
forth in Title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 111 (19 CFR 
111). Part 111 sets forth the regulations regarding the licensing of, 
and granting of permits to, persons seeking to transact customs 
business as customs brokers. These regulations also include the 
qualifications required of applicants and the procedures for applying 
for licenses and permits. 19 CFR 111.11 sets forth the basic 
requirements for a broker's license and, in 19 CFR 111.11(a)(4), 
provides that an applicant for an individual broker's license must 
attain a passing grade (75 percent or higher) on a written examination.
    19 CFR 111.13 sets forth the requirements and procedures for the 
written examination for an individual broker's license and states that 
written customs broker license examinations will be given on the first 
Monday in April and October unless the regularly scheduled examination 
date conflicts with a national holiday, religious observance, or other 
foreseeable event.
    CBP recognizes that the first Monday in October 2016 coincides with 
the observance of the religious holiday of Rosh Hashanah. In 
consideration of this conflict, CBP has decided to change the regularly 
scheduled date of the examination. This document announces that CBP has 
scheduled the October 2016 broker license examination for Wednesday, 
October 5, 2016.
