This document announces the next group, or cluster, of ports to be deployed for this test. EFFECTIVE DATES: The ports identified in this notice, all in the State of Michigan, are expected to deploy in October, 2005, as provided in this notice. Comments concerning this notice and all aspects of the announced test may be submitted at any time during the test period. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Thomas Fitzpatrick via e-mail at Thomas.Fitzpatrick@dhs.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The National Customs Automation Program (NCAP) test concerning the transmission of automated truck manifest data for truck carrier accounts was announced in a General Notice published in the Federal Register (69 FR 55167) on September 13, 2004. That notice stated that the test of the Automated Truck Manifest will be conducted in a phased approach, with primary deployment scheduled for no earlier than November 29, 2004. The document identified the ports of Blaine, Washington, and Buffalo, New York, as the original deployment sites. The September 13, 2004, notice stated that subsequent deployment of the test will occur at Champlain, New York; Detroit, Michigan; Laredo, Texas; Otay Mesa, California; and Port Huron, Michigan, on dates to be announced. The notice stated that the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would announce the implementation and sequencing of truck manifest functionality at these ports as they occur. The test is to be expanded eventually to include ACE Truck Carrier Account participants at all land border PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 ports, and subsequent releases of ACE will include all modes of transportation. The September 13, 2004, notice announced that additional participants and ports will be selected throughout the duration of the test. Implementation of the Test The test commenced in Blaine, Washington in December 2004, but not at Buffalo, New York. In light of experience with the implementation of the test in Blaine, Washington, CBP decided to change the implementation schedule and published a General Notice in the Federal Register on May 31, 2005 (70 FR 30964) announcing the changes. As noted in the May 31, 2005, General Notice, the next deployment sites will be brought up as clusters. In most instances, one site in the cluster will be identified as the ‘‘model site’’ or ‘‘model port’’ for the cluster. This deployment strategy will allow for more efficient equipment set-up, site checkouts, port briefings and central training. The ports identified belonging to the first cluster announced in the May 31, 2005, General Notice included the original port of implementation: Blaine, Washington. Sumas, Washington, was designated as the model port. The other ports of deployment in the cluster included the following: Point Roberts, WA; Oroville, WA (including sub ports); Boundary, WA; Danville, WA; Ferry, WA; Frontier, WA; Laurier, WA; Metaline Falls, WA; Nighthawk, WA; and Lynden, WA. In a General Notice published in the Federal Register (70 FR 43892) on July 29, 2005, CBP announced that the test was being further deployed, in two clusters, at ports in the States of Arizona and North Dakota. The test was to be deployed at the following ports in Arizona on July 25, 2005: Douglas, AZ; Naco, AZ; Lukeville, AZ; Sasabe, AZ; and Nogales, AZ. Douglas, AZ was designated as the model port. The test was to be deployed at the following ports in North Dakota on August 15, 2005: Pembina, ND; Neche, ND; Noyes, ND; Walhalla, ND; Maida, ND; Hannah, ND; Sarles, ND; and Hansboro, ND. Pembina, ND, was designated as the model port. New Cluster Through this Notice, CBP announces the next cluster of ports to be brought up for purposes of implementation of the test. The test will be deployed at the following ports, in the State of Michigan, no earlier than the dates indicated (all in the year 2005): Windsor Tunnel, October 4; Barge Transport, October 5; Ambassador Bridge, October E:\FR\FM\14OCN1.SGM 14OCN1
