ACTION: General notice; republication
with correction and further clarification.
AGENCY:
On December 12, 2016, U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
published in the Federal Register a
document announcing CBP’s plans to
modify and clarify the National Customs
Automation Program (NCAP) test
regarding Post-Summary Correction
(PSC) claims to entry summaries that are
filed in the Automated Commercial
Environment (ACE), as well as the
Periodic Monthly Statement (PMS) test.
The notice liberalized and eliminated
some requirements needed for the filing
of PSCs; however, it also placed burdens
on the importer in the form of a
restriction and a prohibition.
Subsequently, CBP decided to remove
the restriction imposed on all PSC
filings to make payments within three
business days of submitting the PSC,
with the exception of entry type 03
filings, and to remove the prohibition of
filing additional PSCs until additional

supersedes the document published on
December 12 with these corrections and
clarifications. Except to the extent
expressly announced or modified by
this document, all aspects, rules, terms
and conditions announced in notices
previous to this notice and the
December 12 publication regarding the
tests remain in effect.
DATES: The changes made by this notice
are effective January 14, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Comments concerning these
test programs may be submitted via
email to Monica Crockett at
ESARinfoinbox@dhs.gov with a subject
line identifier reading, ‘‘Post-Summary

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 12, 2016, U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) published a
notice in the Federal Register (81 FR
89482) announcing plans to modify and
clarify, effective on January 14, 2017,
the National Customs Automation
Program (NCAP) test regarding PostSummary Correction (PCS) claims, and
the Periodic Monthly Statement (PMS)
test. The notice announced seven
changes to the PSC test. Subsequently,
CBP decided not to implement two of
the changes. One of the changes relates
to the requirement of submitting
additional duties, fees and taxes within
three business days of filing a PSC. This
notice alleviates the requirement
imposed on all PSC filings and limits
the restriction of submitting payment to
PSC filings declaring an increase of
liability for antidumping/countervailing
duties and associated fees and taxes.
This notice also removes the prohibition
of filing additional PSCs until the
duties, fees and taxes are deposited.
With this notice, CBP modifies section
3 (‘‘Deposit of Duties, Fees and Taxes
With PSC Showing Increase in
Liability’’) and removes section 5
(‘‘Elimination of CBP’s Policy of
Rejecting a PSC When There is No
Deposit of Antidumping and/or

notice on December 12.
This document also provides the
correct CBP point of contact for making
a deposit, and clarifies the method and
location of payment of additional
deposits of duties, fees and taxes. In
addition, this notice clarifies how CBP
will determine the time of payment of
duties, fees and taxes.
For ease of reference, the December 12
document is republished below with the
aforementioned changes.
I. Background
Post-Summary Correction (PSC) and
Periodic Monthly Statement (PMS) Test
Programs
The National Customs Automation
Program (NCAP) was established by
Subtitle B of Title VI—Customs
Modernization in the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
Implementation Act (Customs
Modernization Act) (Pub. L. 103–182,
107 Stat. 2057, 2170, December 8, 1993)
(19 U.S.C. 1411). Through NCAP, the
thrust of customs modernization was on
trade compliance and the development
of the Automated Commercial
Environment (ACE), the planned
successor to the Automated Commercial
System (ACS) as the CBP-authorized
electronic data interchange (EDI)
system. ACE is an automated and
electronic system for commercial trade
processing which is intended to
streamline business processes, facilitate
growth in trade, ensure cargo security,
and foster participation in global
commerce, while ensuring compliance
with U.S. laws and regulations and
reducing costs for CBP and all of its
communities of interest. The ability to
meet these objectives depends on
successfully modernizing CBP’s
business functions and the information
technology that supports those
functions. CBP’s modernization efforts
are accomplished through phased
releases of ACE component
functionality designed to replace
specific legacy ACS functions and add
new functionality. Section 101.9(b) of
title 19 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (19 CFR 101.9(b)) provides
for the testing of NCAP components. See
T.D. 95–21, 60 FR 14211 (March 16,
1995). A list of ACE tests is provided in
Section III below.
1. PSC Test Program
On June 24, 2011, CBP published a
notice in the Federal Register (76 FR
37136) that announced a plan to
conduct an NCAP test concerning new
ACE capabilities which allow importers
to file a PSC for certain entry summaries
PO 00000
Frm 00078
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
using the Automated Broker Interface
(ABI). Importers and brokers are also
allowed to use ABI to file a PSC to those
pre-liquidation ACE entry summaries
that were accepted by CBP, fully paid,
and under CBP control. On November
19, 2013, CBP published a notice in the
Federal Register modifying and
clarifying the terms and conditions of
the PSC test. See 78 FR 69434.
2. PMS Test Program
On February 4, 2004, CBP published
a notice in the Federal Register (69 FR
5362) that announced a plan to conduct
an NCAP test concerning PMS which
allows importers to deposit estimated
duties, fees and taxes on a monthly
basis. CBP modified and clarified the
PMS test in seven subsequent Federal
Register notices published on:
September 8, 2004 (69 FR 54302);
February 1, 2005 (70 FR 5199); August
8, 2005 (70 FR 45736); September 22,
2005 (70 FR 55623); January 20, 2006
(71 FR 3315); June 2, 2006 (71 FR
32114); and October 17, 2008 (73 FR
61891).
II. Test Modifications and Clarifications
This document announces numerous
modifications and clarifications to the
PSC and PMS tests. Each modification
and clarification is discussed separately
below. This document supersedes the
December 12 notice and, except to the
extent expressly announced or modified
by this document, all aspects, rules,
terms, requirements, obligations and
conditions announced in notices
previous to this notice and the
December 12 publication regarding the
PSC and PMS tests remain in effect.
A. Modifications and Clarifications of
the PSC Test
1. Expansion of Entry Types
This document announces that CBP is
expanding the type of entries that may
be corrected by filing a PSC, in addition
to the current entry types 01
(Consumption—Free and Dutiable) and
03 (Consumption—Antidumping/
Countervailing Duty). The additional
entry types are as follows:
• 02—Consumption—Quota/Visa.
• 06—Consumption—Foreign Trade
Zone (FTZ).
• 07—Consumption—Antidumping/
Countervailing Duty and Quota/Visa
Combination.
• 21—Warehouse.
• 22—Re-Warehouse.
• 23—Temporary Importation Bond
(TIB).
• 31—Warehouse Withdrawal—
Consumption.
• 32—Warehouse Withdrawal—
Quota.
E:\FR\FM\09JAN1.SGM
09JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 5 / Monday, January 9, 2017 / Notices
• 34—Warehouse Withdrawal—
Antidumping/Countervailing Duty.
• 38—Warehouse Withdrawal—
Antidumping/Countervailing Duty &
Quota/Visa Combination.
• 51—Defense Contract
Administration Service Region
(DCASR).
• 52—Government—Dutiable.
which stated that merchandise covered
by that entry was subject to
antidumping and/or countervailing
duties is not, in fact, subject to such
duties. For instance, a PSC may declare
that a previously filed 03 entry type is
corrected to indicate it is a 01 entry
type.
2. Merchandise Subject to Quota
When filing a PSC for an entry of
merchandise subject to quota, the date
and time of submission will be
considered the date and time of
presentation of the merchandise to CBP.
If a PSC is filed on an entry with
merchandise subject to quota, and the
quota is full or nearly full at threshold,
the PSC filer must do two things. The
filer must follow the Entry Summary
Business Rules and Process Document
on www.CBP.gov and also, within 24
hours of making the correction, contact
Headquarters Quota Branch, either by
phone: (202) 863–6560 (public phone
number), or email: HQQuota@
cbp.dhs.gov, regardless of whether the
correction concerns merchandise
subject to quota.
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
3. Deposit of Duties, Fees and Taxes
With PSC Showing Increase in Liability
This document announces that when
a PSC is filed declaring an increase in
the importer’s liability for antidumping
or countervailing duties and associated
fees and taxes, the importer must mail
or deliver a check to the CBP port of
entry with those additional
antidumping or countervailing duties
and associated fees and taxes within
three business days of submitting the
PSC. Furthermore, CBP will no longer
reject a PSC declaring an increase in
liability for antidumping or
countervailing duties and associated
fees and taxes when the additional
duties, fees and taxes are not deposited
at the time of submitting the PSC. This
is a change in CBP policy.
If a check is mailed, CBP will
consider the additional deposit made
based on the date of postmark indicating
the check was mailed. When a PSC is
filed that results in an increase in the
importer’s liability for regular duties,
fees and taxes and the importer wishes
to deposit them, the importer must mail
or deliver a check to the port of entry.
4. Change of Entry Type When
Antidumping and/or Countervailing
Duties Are Involved
Previously, a filer under the PSC test
could not change a type 03 entry to a
type 01 entry. See 76 FR 37136. This
document announces that a PSC may
declare that a previously filed entry

Jkt 241001
5. No Filing of PSC To Make a PostImportation Claim under 19 U.S.C.
1520(d)
On June 24, 2011, CBP announced in
the Federal Register (76 FR 37136) that
one of the data elements that may not
be modified via a PSC is the NAFTA
indicator. This notice clarifies that such
prohibition applies not only to a postimportation NAFTA claim under 19
U.S.C. 1520(d), but also to a claim made
under other free trade agreements
covered by 19 U.S.C. 1520(d).
6. PSC Submission Within the Time
Limitations Authorized by This Test
On November 19, 2013, CBP
published a notice in the Federal
Register (78 FR 69434) that stated that
a PSC cannot be filed when any
merchandise covered by the original
entry has been conditionally released
and its right to admission has not been
determined. This restriction was overly
broad and prevented importers from
filing a PSC because all goods are
conditionally released and their
admissibility is not legally determined
until liquidation. This notice announces
that this restriction does not prevent the
filing of a PSC within the time periods
allowed as long as all other
requirements and limitations are met.
The time limits authorized by this test
are set forth in notices published in the
Federal Register on June 24, 2011 (76
FR 37136) and November 19, 2013 (78
FR 69434). This clarification is in line
with current practice.
B. Modification to the PMS Test
This notice announces that CBP will
consider a PMS as paid, in the event the
importer uses the Automated Clearing
House (ACH) debit process, when CBP
receives confirmation from the Treasury
Department that funds are available and
transferred to CBP from the financial
institution designated by the importer
for payment of the ACH debit
authorization. Prior to this modification,
CBP considered a PMS as paid when
CBP transmitted the debit authorization
to the designated financial institution.
See 69 FR 5362 (February 4, 2004). This
change will result in a delay of
approximately two working days in the
time that CBP uses to consider a PMS
as paid. It is important to note that this
modification applies only to importers
PO 00000
Frm 00079
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
2387
who participate in the test program. For
all other importers, the current
regulation, 19 CFR 24.25(c)(4), still
applies which means CBP will consider
a statement as paid upon acceptance of
the ACH debit authorization.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Modification and Clarification of the National Customs Automation
Program Tests Regarding Post-Summary Corrections and Periodic Monthly
Statements; Republication With Correction and Further Clarification
AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Department of Homeland
Security.
ACTION: General notice; republication with correction and further
clarification.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On December 12, 2016, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
published in the Federal Register a document announcing CBP's plans to
modify and clarify the National Customs Automation Program (NCAP) test
regarding Post-Summary Correction (PSC) claims to entry summaries that
are filed in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), as well as the
Periodic Monthly Statement (PMS) test. The notice liberalized and
eliminated some requirements needed for the filing of PSCs; however, it
also placed burdens on the importer in the form of a restriction and a
prohibition.
Subsequently, CBP decided to remove the restriction imposed on all
PSC filings to make payments within three business days of submitting
the PSC, with the exception of entry type 03 filings, and to remove the
prohibition of filing additional PSCs until additional
[[Page 2386]]
duties, fees and taxes are deposited. This document republishes and
supersedes the document published on December 12 with these corrections
and clarifications. Except to the extent expressly announced or
modified by this document, all aspects, rules, terms and conditions
announced in notices previous to this notice and the December 12
publication regarding the tests remain in effect.
DATES: The changes made by this notice are effective January 14, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Comments concerning these test programs may be submitted via
email to Monica Crockett at ESARinfoinbox@dhs.gov with a subject line
identifier reading, ``Post-Summary Corrections and Periodic Monthly
Statements.''
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For policy-related questions, contact
Randy Mitchell, Director, Commercial Operations, Trade Policy and
Programs, Office of Trade, at Randy.Mitchell@cbp.dhs.gov. For technical
questions related to ABI transmissions, contact your assigned client
representative. Interested parties without an assigned client
representative should direct their questions to the Client
Representative Branch at (703) 650-3500.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 12, 2016, U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) published a notice in the Federal Register (81
FR 89482) announcing plans to modify and clarify, effective on January
14, 2017, the National Customs Automation Program (NCAP) test regarding
Post-Summary Correction (PCS) claims, and the Periodic Monthly
Statement (PMS) test. The notice announced seven changes to the PSC
test. Subsequently, CBP decided not to implement two of the changes.
One of the changes relates to the requirement of submitting additional
duties, fees and taxes within three business days of filing a PSC. This
notice alleviates the requirement imposed on all PSC filings and limits
the restriction of submitting payment to PSC filings declaring an
increase of liability for antidumping/countervailing duties and
associated fees and taxes. This notice also removes the prohibition of
filing additional PSCs until the duties, fees and taxes are deposited.
With this notice, CBP modifies section 3 (``Deposit of Duties, Fees and
Taxes With PSC Showing Increase in Liability'') and removes section 5
(``Elimination of CBP's Policy of Rejecting a PSC When There is No
Deposit of Antidumping and/or Countervailing Duties at Time of
Submission of PSC'') of the published notice on December 12.
This document also provides the correct CBP point of contact for
making a deposit, and clarifies the method and location of payment of
additional deposits of duties, fees and taxes. In addition, this notice
clarifies how CBP will determine the time of payment of duties, fees
and taxes.
For ease of reference, the December 12 document is republished
below with the aforementioned changes.
I. Background
Post-Summary Correction (PSC) and Periodic Monthly Statement (PMS) Test
Programs
The National Customs Automation Program (NCAP) was established by
Subtitle B of Title VI--Customs Modernization in the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Implementation Act (Customs Modernization
Act) (Pub. L. 103-182, 107 Stat. 2057, 2170, December 8, 1993) (19
U.S.C. 1411). Through NCAP, the thrust of customs modernization was on
trade compliance and the development of the Automated Commercial
Environment (ACE), the planned successor to the Automated Commercial
System (ACS) as the CBP-authorized electronic data interchange (EDI)
system. ACE is an automated and electronic system for commercial trade
processing which is intended to streamline business processes,
facilitate growth in trade, ensure cargo security, and foster
participation in global commerce, while ensuring compliance with U.S.
laws and regulations and reducing costs for CBP and all of its
communities of interest. The ability to meet these objectives depends
on successfully modernizing CBP's business functions and the
information technology that supports those functions. CBP's
modernization efforts are accomplished through phased releases of ACE
component functionality designed to replace specific legacy ACS
functions and add new functionality. Section 101.9(b) of title 19 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR 101.9(b)) provides for the
testing of NCAP components. See T.D. 95-21, 60 FR 14211 (March 16,
1995). A list of ACE tests is provided in Section III below.
1. PSC Test Program
On June 24, 2011, CBP published a notice in the Federal Register
(76 FR 37136) that announced a plan to conduct an NCAP test concerning
new ACE capabilities which allow importers to file a PSC for certain
entry summaries using the Automated Broker Interface (ABI). Importers
and brokers are also allowed to use ABI to file a PSC to those pre-
liquidation ACE entry summaries that were accepted by CBP, fully paid,
and under CBP control. On November 19, 2013, CBP published a notice in
the Federal Register modifying and clarifying the terms and conditions
of the PSC test. See 78 FR 69434.
2. PMS Test Program
On February 4, 2004, CBP published a notice in the Federal Register
(69 FR 5362) that announced a plan to conduct an NCAP test concerning
PMS which allows importers to deposit estimated duties, fees and taxes
on a monthly basis. CBP modified and clarified the PMS test in seven
subsequent Federal Register notices published on: September 8, 2004 (69
FR 54302); February 1, 2005 (70 FR 5199); August 8, 2005 (70 FR 45736);
September 22, 2005 (70 FR 55623); January 20, 2006 (71 FR 3315); June
2, 2006 (71 FR 32114); and October 17, 2008 (73 FR 61891).
II. Test Modifications and Clarifications
This document announces numerous modifications and clarifications
to the PSC and PMS tests. Each modification and clarification is
discussed separately below. This document supersedes the December 12
notice and, except to the extent expressly announced or modified by
this document, all aspects, rules, terms, requirements, obligations and
conditions announced in notices previous to this notice and the
December 12 publication regarding the PSC and PMS tests remain in
effect.
A. Modifications and Clarifications of the PSC Test
1. Expansion of Entry Types
This document announces that CBP is expanding the type of entries
that may be corrected by filing a PSC, in addition to the current entry
types 01 (Consumption--Free and Dutiable) and 03 (Consumption--
Antidumping/Countervailing Duty). The additional entry types are as
follows:
02--Consumption--Quota/Visa.
06--Consumption--Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ).
07--Consumption--Antidumping/Countervailing Duty and
Quota/Visa Combination.
21--Warehouse.
22--Re-Warehouse.
23--Temporary Importation Bond (TIB).
31--Warehouse Withdrawal--Consumption.
32--Warehouse Withdrawal--Quota.
[[Page 2387]]
34--Warehouse Withdrawal--Antidumping/Countervailing Duty.
38--Warehouse Withdrawal--Antidumping/Countervailing Duty
& Quota/Visa Combination.
51--Defense Contract Administration Service Region
(DCASR).
52--Government--Dutiable.
2. Merchandise Subject to Quota
When filing a PSC for an entry of merchandise subject to quota, the
date and time of submission will be considered the date and time of
presentation of the merchandise to CBP. If a PSC is filed on an entry
with merchandise subject to quota, and the quota is full or nearly full
at threshold, the PSC filer must do two things. The filer must follow
the Entry Summary Business Rules and Process Document on www.CBP.gov
and also, within 24 hours of making the correction, contact
Headquarters Quota Branch, either by phone: (202) 863-6560 (public
phone number), or email: HQQuota@cbp.dhs.gov, regardless of whether the
correction concerns merchandise subject to quota.
3. Deposit of Duties, Fees and Taxes With PSC Showing Increase in
Liability
This document announces that when a PSC is filed declaring an
increase in the importer's liability for antidumping or countervailing
duties and associated fees and taxes, the importer must mail or deliver
a check to the CBP port of entry with those additional antidumping or
countervailing duties and associated fees and taxes within three
business days of submitting the PSC. Furthermore, CBP will no longer
reject a PSC declaring an increase in liability for antidumping or
countervailing duties and associated fees and taxes when the additional
duties, fees and taxes are not deposited at the time of submitting the
PSC. This is a change in CBP policy.
If a check is mailed, CBP will consider the additional deposit made
based on the date of postmark indicating the check was mailed. When a
PSC is filed that results in an increase in the importer's liability
for regular duties, fees and taxes and the importer wishes to deposit
them, the importer must mail or deliver a check to the port of entry.
4. Change of Entry Type When Antidumping and/or Countervailing Duties
Are Involved
Previously, a filer under the PSC test could not change a type 03
entry to a type 01 entry. See 76 FR 37136. This document announces that
a PSC may declare that a previously filed entry which stated that
merchandise covered by that entry was subject to antidumping and/or
countervailing duties is not, in fact, subject to such duties. For
instance, a PSC may declare that a previously filed 03 entry type is
corrected to indicate it is a 01 entry type.
5. No Filing of PSC To Make a Post-Importation Claim under 19 U.S.C.
1520(d)
On June 24, 2011, CBP announced in the Federal Register (76 FR
37136) that one of the data elements that may not be modified via a PSC
is the NAFTA indicator. This notice clarifies that such prohibition
applies not only to a post-importation NAFTA claim under 19 U.S.C.
1520(d), but also to a claim made under other free trade agreements
covered by 19 U.S.C. 1520(d).
6. PSC Submission Within the Time Limitations Authorized by This Test
On November 19, 2013, CBP published a notice in the Federal
Register (78 FR 69434) that stated that a PSC cannot be filed when any
merchandise covered by the original entry has been conditionally
released and its right to admission has not been determined. This
restriction was overly broad and prevented importers from filing a PSC
because all goods are conditionally released and their admissibility is
not legally determined until liquidation. This notice announces that
this restriction does not prevent the filing of a PSC within the time
periods allowed as long as all other requirements and limitations are
met. The time limits authorized by this test are set forth in notices
published in the Federal Register on June 24, 2011 (76 FR 37136) and
November 19, 2013 (78 FR 69434). This clarification is in line with
current practice.
B. Modification to the PMS Test
This notice announces that CBP will consider a PMS as paid, in the
event the importer uses the Automated Clearing House (ACH) debit
process, when CBP receives confirmation from the Treasury Department
that funds are available and transferred to CBP from the financial
institution designated by the importer for payment of the ACH debit
authorization. Prior to this modification, CBP considered a PMS as paid
when CBP transmitted the debit authorization to the designated
financial institution. See 69 FR 5362 (February 4, 2004). This change
will result in a delay of approximately two working days in the time
that CBP uses to consider a PMS as paid. It is important to note that
this modification applies only to importers who participate in the test
program. For all other importers, the current regulation, 19 CFR
24.25(c)(4), still applies which means CBP will consider a statement as
paid upon acceptance of the ACH debit authorization.
