DHS TRIP is a Webbased customer service initiative developed as a voluntary program to provide a one-stop mechanism for individuals to request redress. DHS TRIP provides traveler redress intake and processing support while working with relevant DHS components to review and respond to requests for redress. An individual seeking redress may obtain the necessary forms and information to initiate the process on the DHS TRIP Web site at https:// www.dhs.gov/trip or by contacting DHS TRIP by mail. DHS TRIP will review all the documentation provided by the individual and share the redress request with any necessary agencies (including appropriate Federal law enforcement or intelligence agencies, if necessary) for resolution. DHS TRIP will correct any erroneous information and will inform the individual when the redress process has been completed. (c) Ombudsman If participants feel the denial or revocation was based upon inaccurate information, they may contact the CBP Enrollment Center where their interview was conducted, or they may write to the CBP Trusted Traveler Ombudsman at: U.S. Customs and Border Protection, 300 Interstate Corporate Center, Suite 303, Williston, VT 05495, Attention: CBP Ombudsman. Contact with the Enrollment Centers, DHS TRIP or the Trusted Traveler Ombudsman should contain supporting information that can demonstrate that the denial or revocation was based on inaccurate information. CBP often relies on data from other agencies (e.g., Immigration and Customs Enforcement, FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration) and the denial or revocation may have been based upon those records. In order to view records that may be on file with another agency, the applicant will need to contact those agencies directly. The provisions allowing participants to seek redress concerning their suspension or removal from the program pilot do not create or confer any legal right, privilege or benefit, but is wholly discretionary on the part of CBP. None of these three options for redress will result in either the confirmation or denial of whether an individual is on the watch list, because this information is derived from classified and sensitive law enforcement VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:21 Apr 10, 2008 Jkt 214001 19865 and intelligence information.

FOIA DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Any participant who has reason to believe his or her suspension or removal is based upon records maintained by CBP and wishes to view those records, should file a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the FOIA Division, Office of International Trade, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. (Mint Annex), Washington, DC 20229. Applicants should not use this address to seek redress or review of their application for this pilot. This address should only be used to obtain copies of the information CBP has on file, subject to applicable FOIA exemptions. If the record sought is owned by another State or local entity, the applicant must contact that entity directly for information. VII. Pilot Evaluation Criteria CBP will review all public comments received concerning any aspect of the pilot program or procedures, finalize procedures in light of those comments and CBP will evaluate the program by forming problem-solving teams and establishing baseline measures and evaluation methods and criteria. Evaluation of the pilot will begin upon the start of the pilot. The pilot is expected to continue for a minimum of six months. A review will be conducted at the end of a three-month period and at the six-month period, to include evaluation of the following: The number of participants; the number of instances and length of time that kiosks were out of service; the average length of time for a person to successfully complete the kiosk process; the number of instances that approved user could not successfully complete the kiosk process; the average length of time for CBP to process applications; the percentage of denied applications; and the percentage of kiosk usage. This time frame is subject to change, however, depending on the progress of the ongoing evaluation. The pilot program may be extended, modified, or terminated depending on the results of the evaluation.

In such circumstances, CBP may reliquidate the entry summaries under 19 U.S.C. 1501 based on the PEAs or the importer may file a protest in accordance with 19 U.S.C. 1514. CBP will not treat single PEAs filed before liquidation as protests. DATES: This correction of the previously published test modification as described in this document is effective on April 11, 2008.

E:\FR\FM\11APN1.SGM 11APN1 19866 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 71 / Friday, April 11, 2008 / Notices On August 21, 2007, CBP published a general notice in the Federal Register (72 FR 46654) announcing a modification of the PEA test. The PEA test procedure allows test participants (importers) to amend entry summaries (not informal entries) prior to liquidation by filing with CBP either a single PEA upon discovery of certain kinds of errors or a quarterly tracking report covering certain other errors that occurred during the quarter. The test modification, which became effective on September 20, 2007, concerned the timeliness of filing single PEAs. Prior to the modification, the test participant was required to file a single PEA promptly after discovery of a covered error and prior to the liquidation of the subject entry summary. The test procedure as modified requires that a single PEA be filed at least 20 days before the scheduled liquidation date of the subject entry summary. The modification notice explained that an untimely filed single PEA would be rejected and a timely filed single PEA would be treated by CBP as a protest under 19 U.S.C. 1514 in any instance where the entry summaries are not unset or processed by the scheduled liquidation date and liquidation therefore occurs without benefit of the requested amendment. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Correction Under 19 U.S.C. 1514, a protest must be filed within a certain period after, not before, certain specified CBP actions, one of which is liquidation of the entry summary. To treat a single PEA filed prior to the liquidation, as described above, as a protest of the liquidation is contrary to the terms of the statute. Therefore, this notice specifies that in the instance of such liquidation, performed without consideration of the PEA, CBP may reliquidate the entry summary voluntarily under 19 U.S.C. 1501 or the importer may file a protest under 19 U.S.C. 1514.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background—The LDWP is proposed to fulfill certain environmental mitigation commitments of the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project. The Strawberry Aqueduct and Collection System (SACS) is a key component of the Bonneville Unit, collecting water from the Upper Duchesne River and its tributaries and storing it in Strawberry Reservoir for delivery westward to the Wasatch Front in Utah. As a result, wetlands and wildlife habitats along the Duchesne River have been adversely impacted. Substantial wetland impacts occurred on the Uintah and Ouray Reservation lands of the Ute Indian Tribe. The Proposed Action would create, restore, and otherwise enhance riparian wetland habitats on reservation E:\FR\FM\11APN1.SGM 11APN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 21, 2007, CBP published a general 
notice in the Federal Register (72 FR 46654) announcing a modification 
of the PEA test. The PEA test procedure allows test participants 
(importers) to amend entry summaries (not informal entries) prior to 
liquidation by filing with CBP either a single PEA upon discovery of 
certain kinds of errors or a quarterly tracking report covering certain 
other errors that occurred during the quarter. The test modification, 
which became effective on September 20, 2007, concerned the timeliness 
of filing single PEAs. Prior to the modification, the test participant 
was required to file a single PEA promptly after discovery of a covered 
error and prior to the liquidation of the subject entry summary. The 
test procedure as modified requires that a single PEA be filed at least 
20 days before the scheduled liquidation date of the subject entry 
summary.
    The modification notice explained that an untimely filed single PEA 
would be rejected and a timely filed single PEA would be treated by CBP 
as a protest under 19 U.S.C. 1514 in any instance where the entry 
summaries are not unset or processed by the scheduled liquidation date 
and liquidation therefore occurs without benefit of the requested 
amendment.

Correction

    Under 19 U.S.C. 1514, a protest must be filed within a certain 
period after, not before, certain specified CBP actions, one of which 
is liquidation of the entry summary. To treat a single PEA filed prior 
to the liquidation, as described above, as a protest of the liquidation 
is contrary to the terms of the statute. Therefore, this notice 
specifies that in the instance of such liquidation, performed without 
consideration of the PEA, CBP may reliquidate the entry summary 
voluntarily under 19 U.S.C. 1501 or the importer may file a protest 
under 19 U.S.C. 1514.

    Dated: April 7, 2008.
Daniel Baldwin,
Assistant Commissioner, Office of International Trade.
