must possess a valid Standard Carrier

Motor Freight Traffic Association. Truck
carriers who elect to use this
transmission method will not have
access to operational data and will not

to integrated Account data from
multiple system sources. These truck
carriers will be able to obtain release of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 4, 2004 and September
13, 2004, CBP published General
Notices in the Federal Register (69 FR
55167 and 69 FR 5360) announcing a
test, in conjunction with the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Administration
(FMCSA), allowing participating truck
carriers to transmit electronic manifest
data in ACE, including advance cargo
information as required by section
343(a) of the Trade Act of 2002, as
amended by the Maritime
Transportation Security Act of 2002 (see
68 FR 68140). The advance cargo
information requirements are detailed in
the final rule published in the Federal
Register at 68 FR 68140 on December 5,
2003. Truck carriers participating in the
test opened up Truck Carrier Accounts
which provided them with the ability to
electronically transmit truck manifest
data and obtain release of their cargo,
crew, conveyances, and equipment via
the ACE Portal or electronic data
interchange (EDI) messaging.

hsrobinson on PROD1PC68 with NOTICES
In the September 13, 2004 notice, CBP
stated that, in order to be eligible for
participation in this test, a carrier must
have:
1. Submitted an application (i.e.,
statement of intent to establish an ACE
Account and to participate in the testing
of electronic truck manifest
functionality) as set forth in the
February 4, 2004, Federal Register
notice (69 FR 5360);
2. Provided a Standard Carrier Alpha
Code(s) (SCAC);
3. Provided the name, address, and email of a point of contact to receive
further information.
In addition, participants intending to
use the ACE Secure Data Portal as the
means to file the manifest must submit
a statement certifying the ability to
connect to the Internet. Participants
intending to use an EDI interface are
required to first test their ability to send
and receive electronic messages in
either American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) X12 or United Nations
/ Directories for Electronic Data
Interchange for Administration,
Commerce and Transport (UN/
EDIFACT) format with CBP. The
September 13, 2004 notice indicated
that acceptance into this test does not
guarantee eligibility for, or acceptance
into, future technical tests.
Implementation
Through this notice, CBP announces a
change whereby truck carriers no longer
have to open ACE Truck Carrier
Accounts to participate in the ACE test.
Specifically, truck carriers may elect to
use a third party to submit electronic
manifest information via EDI to CBP.
Truck carriers participating in this
fashion will not have access to
operational data and will not receive
status messages on ACE Accounts, nor
will they have access to integrated
Account data from multiple system
sources. These truck carriers will be
able to obtain release of their cargo,
crew, conveyances, and equipment via
EDI messaging back to the transmitter of
the information.
If the third party transmitting the
truck manifest information to CBP does
not use EDI, but instead wishes to use
the ACE portal, the truck carrier who is
submitting that information to the third
party (for transmission to CBP) must
have an ACE Truck Carrier Account as
described in the February 4, 2004,
General Notice (69 FR 5360).
A truck carrier using a third party to
transmit via EDI cargo, crew,
conveyance and equipment information
to CBP must have a Standard Carrier
Alpha Code (SCAC). Any truck carrier
with a SCAC may arrange to have a

third party transmit manifest
information to CBP via EDI consistent
with the requirements of the ACE Truck
Manifest Test.
Previous Notices Continue To Be
Applicable
All of the other aspects of the ACE
Truck Manifest Test as set forth in the
September 13, 2004, notice (69 FR
55167), as modified by the General
Notice published in the Federal
Register (70 FR 13514) on March 21,
2005, continue to be applicable. (The
March 21, 2005 notice clarified that all
relevant data elements are required to be
submitted in the automated truck
manifest submission.) All of the aspects
of the February 4, 2004, notice (69 FR
5360) also continue to be applicable,
except as revised in this notice.

direction on conserving wildlife and
their habitat, plans identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities
available to the public, including
opportunities for hunting, fishing,
wildlife observation, wildlife
photography, and environmental
education and interpretation.
The purpose of this notice is to
achieve the following:
(1) Advise other agencies and the
public of our intentions, and
(2) Obtain suggestions and
information on the scope of issues to
include in the environmental document.
DATES: To ensure consideration, written
comments must be received no later
than April 28, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Comments, questions, and
requests for more information regarding
the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge
planning process should be sent to: M.
Craig Sasser, Refuge Manager, 1601
North Fraser Street, Georgetown, South
Carolina 29440; Telephone: 843/527–
8069 or 843–509–1514; E-mail:
marshall_sasser@fws.gov.
The
Service has initiated comprehensive
conservation planning for Waccamaw
National Wildlife Refuge for the
management of its natural resources.
This planning will result in the
development of goals, objectives, and
strategies to carry out the refuge’s
purposes and to comply with laws and
policies governing management and
public use of refuges. Opportunities will
be provided for public input at open
houses to be held in both Georgetown
and Conway, South Carolina. All
comments received from individuals
become part of the official public
record. Requests for such comments will
be handled in accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act and the
Council on Environmental Quality’s
NEPA regulations [40 CFR 1505.6(f)].
The refuge has an acquisition
boundary that spans more than 55,000
acres and includes large sections of the
Waccamaw and Great Pee Dee rivers
and a small section of the Little Pee Dee
River. The wetland diversity of this
refuge is what sets it apart from most
other found along the east coast.
Wetland habitats range from historic,
broken and actively managed tidal rice
fields, to black water and alluvial flood
plain forested wetlands. These tidal
freshwater wetlands are some of the
most diverse freshwater wetland system
found in North America and they offer
many important habitats for migratory
birds, fish, and resident wildlife.
