On October 24, 2012, U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
published a notice in the Federal
Register that announced the
formalization and expansion of the Air
Cargo Advance Screening (ACAS) pilot
program and a 30 day application
period (until November 23, 2012) for
new participants. This document
announces that CBP is reopening the
application period for 15 days. The
ACAS pilot is a voluntary test in which
participants submit a subset of the
required advance air cargo data to CBP
at the earliest point practicable prior to
loading of the cargo onto the aircraft
destined to or transiting through the
United States.
DATES: CBP is reopening the application

ACAS pilot participants until January 8,
2013. Comments concerning any aspect
of the announced test may be submitted
at any time during the test period.
ADDRESSES: Applications to participate
in the ACAS pilot must be submitted via
email to CBPCCS@cbp.dhs.gov. Written
comments concerning program, policy,
and technical issues may be submitted
via email to CBPCCS@cbp.dhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 24, 2012, CBP published
a general notice in the Federal Register
(77 FR 65006, corrected in 77 FR
65395 1) announcing that CBP is
formalizing and expanding the ACAS
pilot to include other eligible
participants in the air cargo
environment. The ACAS pilot revises
the time frame for transmission by pilot
participants of a subset of mandatory
advance electronic information for air
cargo. CBP regulations implementing
the Trade Act of 2002 require advance
information for air cargo to be submitted
no later than the time of departure of the
aircraft for the United States (from
specified locations) or four hours prior
to arrival in the United States for all
other locations. See 19 CFR 122.48a.
The ACAS pilot is a voluntary test in
which participants agree to submit a
subset of the required 19 CFR 122.48a
data elements (ACAS data) at the
earliest point practicable prior to
loading of the cargo onto the aircraft
destined to or transiting through the
United States. The ACAS data is used to
target high-risk air cargo. The results of
the ACAS pilot will help determine the
relevant data elements, the time frame
within which data should be submitted
to permit CBP to effectively target,
identify and mitigate any risk with the
least impact practicable on trade
operations, and any other related
procedures and policies.
Reopening of Application Period
In the notice announcing the ACAS
pilot, CBP stated that applications from
new ACAS pilot participants would be
accepted until November 23, 2012.
However, CBP received a number of
requests for extensions for submitting
applications. CBP also experienced
technical difficulties with the email box

address under the ADDRESSES heading from
‘‘CBPCCS@cbpdhs.gov’’ to ‘‘CBPCCS@cbp.dhs.gov’’

set up for the ACAS pilot, and therefore
CBP may not have received all
submitted applications. Any applicants
who have not received a response from
CBP will need to resubmit their
applications. Accordingly, CBP is
reopening the application period until
January 8, 2013.
Anyone interested in participating in
the ACAS pilot should refer to the
notice published in the Federal Register
on October 24, 2012, for additional
application information and eligibility
requirements.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife

Plan for Kendall Warm Springs Dace
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of document availability
for review and comment.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) announces the
availability of a draft revised recovery
plan for the Kendall Warm Springs dace
(Rhinichthys osculus thermalis). This
species is federally listed as endangered
under the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (ESA). The Service
solicits review and comment from the
public on this draft revised plan.
DATES: Comments on the draft revised
recovery plan must be received on or
before February 25, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the draft revised
recovery plan are available by request
from the Wyoming Field Office, U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, 5353
Yellowstone Road, Suite 308A,
Cheyenne, WY 82009; telephone 307–

draft recovery plan to the Field
Supervisor at this same address. An

SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Field Supervisor, at the above address,
or telephone 307–772–2374.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Restoring an endangered or
threatened animal or plant to the point
where it is again a secure, selfsustaining member of its ecosystem is a
primary goal of the Service’s
endangered species program. To help
guide the recovery effort, the Service
prepares recovery plans for the federally
listed species native to the United States
where a plan will promote the
conservation of the species. Recovery
plans describe site-specific actions
necessary for the conservation of the
species; establish objective, measurable
criteria which, when met, would result
in a determination that the species no
longer needs the protection of the ESA
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.); and provide
estimates of the time and cost for
implementing the needed recovery
measures.
