payment must be initiated. CBP must
receive the settlement for the credit by
the 15th working day in order to have
the periodic monthly statement marked
paid and treated as a timely payment.
The August 8, 2005 Notice (70 FR
45736) established monthly payment
processing procedures that incorporated
the changes regarding the extended time
for payment of duties and fees, and the
removal of entries from the Periodic
Daily Statement after expiration of the
10-working-day period after release.
The process for entries scheduled for
monthly payment, as of this date
including the modifications made by
this Notice, is as follows:
a. As entries are filed with CBP, the
importer or its designated broker
schedules them for monthly payment;
b. Those entries scheduled for
monthly payment will appear on the
Preliminary Periodic Daily Statement;
c. The importer or its designated
broker processes entry summary
presentation transactions for Periodic
Daily Statements within 10 working
days of the date of entry;
d. After summary information has
been filed, the scheduled entries will
appear on the Final Periodic Daily
Statement;
e. Periodic Daily Statements
scheduled for monthly payment will
appear on the Preliminary Periodic
Monthly Statement; CBP will generate
the Preliminary Periodic Monthly
Statement on the 11th working day of
the month following the month in
which the merchandise is either entered
or released, whichever comes first,
unless the importer or designated broker
selects an earlier date;
f. On the 15th working day of the
month, for Automated Clearing House
(ACH) debit participants, CBP will
transmit the debit authorizations for the
periodic daily statements to the
financial institution and the periodic
monthly statement will be marked paid.
The Final Periodic Monthly Statement
will be generated by CBP and be
transmitted to the importer or his
designated broker. ACH Debit
participants must ensure that the money
amount identified on the Preliminary
Monthly Statement is, in fact, available
in their bank account by the 15th
working day of the month.
g. CBP must receive the settlement for
the credit by the 15th working day of
the month in order to have the periodic
monthly statement marked paid and
treated as a timely payment. The Final
Periodic Monthly Statement will be
generated by CBP and be transmitted to
the importer or his designated broker.
For both ACH Credit and ACH Debit
participants, CBP will generate the Final

Periodic Monthly Statement on the
night that payment is processed.
Participants should note that if they
voluntarily remove an entry from a
Periodic Daily Statement before
expiration of the 10-working-day period
after release, that entry may be placed
on another Periodic Daily Statement
falling within the same 10-working-day
period. If, however, participants remove
an entry from a Periodic Daily
Statement after expiration of the 10working-day period after release, the
entry may be the subject of a claim for
liquidated damages for late payment of
estimated duties.
Suspension of Regulations
During the testing of the Periodic
Monthly Statement process, CBP is
suspending provisions in Parts 24, 141,
142, and 143 of the CBP Regulations
(Title 19 Code of Federal Regulations)
pertaining to financial, accounting,

estimated duties and fees. Absent any
specified alternate procedure, the
current regulations apply. All of the
terms of the test and criteria for
participation therein, as announced in
the previous notices identified above,
continue to be applicable unless
changed by this notice.

conservation; migratory birds;

management; exotic, invasive and
nuisance species; wildlife inventory and

management; visitor services; funding
and staffing; and wilderness and
cultural resources protection.
The Service developed three
alternatives for managing the refuge and
chose Alternative 2 as the preferred

Alternatives
Alternative 1 represents no change
from current management of the refuge.
The most recent approved acquisition
boundary expansion (2000) would allow
for the acquisition and protection of
3,764 acres of land adjacent to the
refuge. Habitat planning documents
would be revised as staff resources
allow. Currently, the State of Florida
provides funding for the majority of
exotic plant species control and
supplies, but staff resources are used for
an aggressive control program. Exotic
animals are removed through the hunt
program. A series of impoundments are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following is a summary of the ROD, which
selects Final CCP/EIS Alternative 3, for Roanoke river National

conserves refuge resources and facilitates compatible wildlife-
dependent public use activities during the next 15 years.
The Service has selected as the preferred alternative, Alternative
3, which addresses key issues and conflicts identified during the
planning process, and will best achieve the purposes and goals of the
refuge, as well as the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System.
This decision includes the management goals, objectives, and strategies
identified in the CCP/EIS Chapter III, the adoption of stipulations and
mitigation measures identified in Chapter IV, and compatibility
determinations in Appendix IX. The implementation of the CCP will occur
over the next 15 years, depending on future staffing levels, funding,

Draft and Final CCP/EIS; the results of various studies and surveys

contributes the most to achieving the refuge's purposes and goals.
Alternative 3 strengthens the monitoring of fish, wildlife, habitat,
and public uses that will provide the means to better respond to

for implementation because it provides the greatest number of
opportunities for the refuge to contribute to the fish, wildlife, and
habitat needs of the Roanoke River watershed.
