hospital’s donor registration goal. In
addition, HRSA is making various
formatting changes and the point values
for two activities have been increased.
Likely Respondents: Hospital
representatives, most often the organ
donation champions identified by the
OPOs, can download the form from
organdonor.gov or receive it from their
OPO or DLA affiliate.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and be able to respond to a
collection of information; to search data
sources; and to complete and review the
collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are

AGENCY:
This notice announces that
the effective date for the modifications
to the National Customs Automation

reconciliation, and the transition of the

the Federal Register a document
announcing CBP’s plans to modify and
clarify the National Customs
Automation Program (NCAP) test
regarding Post-Summary Correction
(PSC) claims to entry summaries that are
filed in the Automated Commercial
Environment (ACE), as well as the
Periodic Monthly Statement (PMS) test.
The notice liberalized and eliminated
some requirements needed for the filing
of PSCs; however, it also placed burdens
on the importer in the form of a
restriction and a prohibition.
Subsequently, CBP published a notice
in the Federal Register on January 9,
2017, to remove the restriction imposed
on all PSC filings to make payments
within three business days of submitting
the PSC, with the exception of entry
type 03 filings, and to remove the
prohibition of filing additional PSCs

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
I. Reconciliation Test
On December 12, 2016, U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) published
a notice entitled ‘‘Modification of the
National Customs Automation Program
Test Regarding Reconciliation and
Transition of the Test from the
Automated Commercial System to the
Automated Commercial Environment’’
in the Federal Register (81 FR 89486),
with an effective date of January 14,
2017. This notice announced
modifications to the National Customs
Automation Program (NCAP) test
regarding reconciliation, and the
transition of the test from the
Automated Commercial System (ACS)
to the Automated Commercial
Environment (ACE). The modifications
eliminated several requirements for
participation in the test, imposed new
data requirements, and established the
PO 00000
Frm 00064
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990

requirement that reconciliation entries
be filed in ACE regardless of whether
the underlying entry was filed in ACS
or ACE.
CBP has assessed stakeholder
readiness for the mandatory transition
of post-release capabilities in ACE,
including the modifications to the
reconciliation test and the transition of
reconciliation filings from ACS to ACE.
This notice announces that the effective
date for the modifications to the
reconciliation test, and for mandatory
filing of reconciliation entries in ACE
has been delayed until further notice.
II. Post-Summary Correction and
Periodic Monthly Statement Tests
On December 12, 2016, U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) published
a notice in the Federal Register (81 FR
89482) announcing plans to modify and
clarify, effective January 14, 2017, the
National Customs Automation Program
(NCAP) test regarding Post-Summary
Correction (PSC) claims, and the
Periodic Monthly Statement (PMS) test.
The modifications made by the notice
eliminated or liberalized certain
requirements for the filing of a PSC,
making it easier for importers to file a
PSC for additional entry types, and
allowed filers additional time to make a
deposit for duties, fees and taxes owed.
With regard to the PMS test program,
the notice announced the time at which
CBP considers a PMS as paid when
filers use the Automated Clearing House
(ACH) debit process.
Subsequently, CBP decided not to
implement two of the changes
announced in the December 12, 2016
notice. In a notice published in the
Federal Register (82 FR 2385) on
January 9, 2017, CBP removed the
requirement that additional duties, fees
and taxes be submitted within three
business days of filing a PSC, and
limited the restriction of submitting
payment to PSC filings declaring an
increase of liability for antidumping/
countervailing duties and associated
fees and taxes. The notice also removed
the prohibition of filing additional PSCs
until the duties, fees and taxes are
deposited. Like the changes made in the
December 12, 2016 notice, these
changes were to become effective on
January 14, 2017. This notice announces
that the effective date for the
modifications to the PSC and PMS tests
has been delayed until further notice.
Dated: January 11, 2017.
