transmission of automated truck
manifest data for truck carrier accounts
was announced in a notice published in
the Federal Register (69 FR 55167) on
September 13, 2004. That notice stated
that the test of the Automated Truck
Manifest would be conducted in a
phased approach, with primary
deployment scheduled for no earlier
than November 29, 2004.
A series of Federal Register notices
have announced the implementation of
the test, beginning with a notice
published on May 31, 2005 (70 FR
30964). As described in that document,
the deployment sites for the test have
been phased in as clusters. The ports
identified belonging to the first cluster
were announced in the May 31, 2005
notice. Additional clusters were
announced in subsequent notices
published in the Federal Register
including: 70 FR 43892, published on
