follows:
SUMMARY:
I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Maine resulting
from severe storms and flooding during the
period of July 11–12, 2007, is of sufficient
severity and magnitude to warrant a major
disaster declaration under the Robert T.

5206 (the Stafford Act). Therefore, I declare
that such a major disaster exists in the State
of Maine.
In order to provide Federal assistance, you
are hereby authorized to allocate from funds
available for these purposes such amounts as
you find necessary for Federal disaster
assistance and administrative expenses.
You are authorized to provide Public
Assistance in the designated areas, Hazard
Mitigation throughout the State, and any
other forms of assistance under the Stafford
Act that you deem appropriate. Consistent
with the requirement that Federal assistance
be supplemental, any Federal funds provided
under the Stafford Act for Hazard Mitigation
will be limited to 75 percent of the total
eligible costs. Federal funds provided under
the Stafford Act for Public Assistance also
will be limited to 75 percent of the total
eligible costs, except for any particular
projects that are eligible for a higher Federal
cost-sharing percentage under the FEMA
Public Assistance Pilot Program instituted
pursuant to 6 U.S.C. Section 777. If Other
Needs Assistance under Section 408 of the
Stafford Act is later requested and warranted,
Federal funding under that program also will
be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible
costs. Further, you are authorized to make
changes to this declaration to the extent
allowable under the Stafford Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
ACE Truck Manifest Test
On February 4, 2004 and September
13, 2004, CBP published notices in the
Federal Register (69 FR 5360 and 69 FR
55167) 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
were required to establish ACE Secure
Data Portal (ACE Portal) Truck Carrier
Accounts which would provide 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.
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 Portal as the means to file
the manifest were required to submit a
statement certifying the ability to
connect to the Internet. Participants
intending to use an EDI interface were
required to first test their ability to send
and receive electronic messages in
either American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) X12 or United Nations/
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:53 Aug 17, 2007
Jkt 211001
Directories for Electronic Data
Interchange for Administration,
Commerce and Transport (UN/
EDIFACT) format with CBP.
Subsequently, in a Federal Register
notice published on March 29, 2006 (71
FR 15756), CBP announced a change
advising truck carriers that they were no
longer required to open ACE Truck
Carrier [Portal] Accounts to participate
in the ACE test. Specifically, truck
carriers were advised that they could
elect to use a third party to submit
electronic manifest information to CBP
via EDI. Truck carriers participating in
this fashion do not have access to
operational data and do not receive
status messages on ACE Accounts, nor
do they have access to integrated
Account data from multiple system
sources. These truck carriers are able to
obtain release of their cargo, crew,
conveyances, and equipment via EDI
messaging back to the transmitter of the
information. A truck carrier using a
third party to transmit via EDI cargo,
crew, conveyance and equipment
information to CBP is required to 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. Due to
limited functionality available via the
portal at that time, truck carriers were
advised that if they elected to use a
third party to transmit the truck
manifest information to CBP via the
ACE portal (rather than EDI), the truck
carrier who is submitting that
information to the third party (for
transmission to CBP) would be required
to have an ACE Truck Carrier Account
as described in the February 4, 2004,
notice.
In a notice published in the Federal
Register on March 15, 2007 (72 FR
12181), CBP announced that truck
carriers participating in the ACE portal
test and electing to use third parties to
submit manifest information to CBP via
the ACE portal are no longer required to
have ACE portal accounts. Thus, truck
carriers without ACE portal accounts,
while participating in the test of the
ACE truck manifest system, may now
use third parties (such as Customs
brokers or other truck carriers) with
ACE portal accounts to electronically
transmit truck manifest information, via
the ACE portal, on their behalf.
Release Types
Previously, CBP did not possess the
capability for the electronic release of
cargo off the manifest for certain release
types. Now, through the collection of
cargo information through ACE,

electronic release of the cargo can be
accommodated for the following release
types: General Note 1 Exemptions as
provided in General Note 3(e) of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the
United States; Free of Duty;
Unaccompanied Goods; and Free
Returned U.S. Goods. When applicable,
the appropriate CBP forms, noted below
in parenthesis for each release type, and
supporting documentation are required
to effectuate release of the cargo.
General Note 1 Exemptions
A General Note 1 Exemption release
can be used for goods imported into the
customs territory of the United States
that are exempt from the provisions of
the tariff schedule per General Note 3(e)
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States. Such goods qualifying
for this exemption are as follows:
Corpses, together with their coffins and
accompanying flowers;
telecommunications transmissions;
records, diagrams and other data with
regard to any business, engineering or
exploration operation whether on paper;
cards, photographs, blueprints, tapes or
other media; articles returned from
space within the purview of section
484a of the Tariff Act of 1930; articles
exported from the United States which
are returned within 45 days after such
exportation from the United States as
undeliverable and which have not left
the custody of the carrier or foreign
customs service; and any aircraft part or
equipment that was removed from a
United States-registered aircraft while
being used abroad in international
traffic because of accident, breakdown,
or emergency, that was returned to the
United States within 45 days after
removal, and that did not leave the
custody of the carrier or foreign customs
service while abroad.
Free of Duty (CBP Form 7523)
Pursuant to the provisions of 19 CFR
143.23(d), a CBP Form 7523 (Free of
Duty) can be used for the release of
shipments not exceeding $2,000 in
value which are either unconditionally
free of duty and not subject to any quota
or internal revenue tax, or are
conditionally free and all conditions for
free entry are met at the time of entry.
Pursuant to the provisions of 19 CFR
143.23(g), shipments, regardless of
value, which are imported for
noncommercial purposes which qualify
for entry free of duty under the
Generalized System of Preferences and
for which informal entry may be made
can be released on a CBP Form 7523.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
ACE Truck Manifest Test
On February 4, 2004 and September 13, 2004, CBP published notices
in the Federal Register (69 FR 5360 and 69 FR 55167) 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 were required to establish
ACE Secure Data Portal (ACE Portal) Truck Carrier Accounts which would
provide 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.
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 e-mail of a point of contact to
receive further information.
In addition, participants intending to use the ACE Portal as the
means to file the manifest were required to submit a statement
certifying the ability to connect to the Internet. Participants
intending to use an EDI interface were 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.
Subsequently, in a Federal Register notice published on March 29,
2006 (71 FR 15756), CBP announced a change advising truck carriers that
they were no longer required to open ACE Truck Carrier [Portal]
Accounts to participate in the ACE test. Specifically, truck carriers
were advised that they could elect to use a third party to submit

participating in this fashion do not have access to operational data
and do not receive status messages on ACE Accounts, nor do they have

carrier with a SCAC may arrange to have a third party transmit manifest

via the ACE portal (rather than EDI), the truck carrier who is
submitting that information to the third party (for transmission to

described in the February 4, 2004, notice.
In a notice published in the Federal Register on March 15, 2007 (72
FR 12181), CBP announced that truck carriers participating in the ACE
portal test and electing to use third parties to submit manifest
information to CBP via the ACE portal are no longer required to have
ACE portal accounts. Thus, truck carriers without ACE portal accounts,
while participating in the test of the ACE truck manifest system, may
now use third parties (such as Customs brokers or other truck carriers)
with ACE portal accounts to electronically transmit truck manifest
information, via the ACE portal, on their behalf.
Release Types
Previously, CBP did not possess the capability for the electronic
release of cargo off the manifest for certain release types. Now,
through the collection of cargo information through ACE, electronic
release of the cargo can be accommodated for the following release
types: General Note 1 Exemptions as provided in General Note 3(e) of

appropriate CBP forms, noted below in parenthesis for each release
type, and supporting documentation are required to effectuate release
of the cargo.
General Note 1 Exemptions
A General Note 1 Exemption release can be used for goods imported
into the customs territory of the United States that are exempt from
the provisions of the tariff schedule per General Note 3(e) of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. Such goods qualifying
for this exemption are as follows: Corpses, together with their coffins

diagrams and other data with regard to any business, engineering or
exploration operation whether on paper; cards, photographs, blueprints,
tapes or other media; articles returned from space within the purview
