daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
program submit a complete application
package to CBP. CBP then reviews the
application and begins the vetting
process including a risk assessment and
a determination of the applicant’s
readiness to assume the responsibilities
of ISA.
When the Broker ISA PC test was in
operation, importers interested in
applying to participate in the ISA
program had the option of using either
the Broker ISA PC services (most likely
for a fee) of an ISA pre-certifier to
facilitate participation in the ISA
program or the importers could
continue to apply for participation in
the ISA program without the services of
a pre-certifier. Under the Broker ISA PC
test, an interested importer who wished
to use the services of a pre-certifier
submitted a complete ISA application
package to both CBP and the ISA precertifier whom they selected. If an
importer used the services of an ISA
pre-certifier, the importer noted this at
the time it submitted its ISA
application. The key benefit of using the
services of an ISA pre-certifier was the
facilitation of the ISA application
process. In the April 17, 2013 Federal
Register notice, CBP anticipated that the
use of an ISA pre-certifier would reduce
the time period from application to
presentation to the ISA Review Board
from the average processing time for
CBP which is between 9 and 12 months
to between 90 and 120 days.
Discontinuation of the Broker ISA PC
Test
CBP announced in the April 17, 2013
Federal Register notice that it would
review the effectiveness and feasibility
of the Broker ISA PC test one (1) year
after the date of the ISA Pre-Certifiers
Orientation and that based on the
results and lessons learned from the
test, CBP would determine if the Broker
ISA PC would be fully implemented as
a permanent program.
While a total of 23 brokers
volunteered to participate in the test
and 9 brokers were selected to
participate in the test per the guidelines
of the notice, the test proved
unsuccessful as there was little
participation from importers. Several
importers expressed reservations about
securing the services of a broker to
conduct the ISA evaluations and
indicated that the broker fees were cost
prohibitive. Only three (3) importers
signed up to be reviewed by the brokers.
Because of the low participation rate,
CBP has determined that the test and
test program are not effective and has
decided to terminate the test. As a
result, the Broker ISA PC test is
discontinued effective immediately and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

the test program will not be
implemented as a permanent program.
The discontinuation of the test and
the publication of this notice will have
no effect on the ISA program.
Dated: September 18, 2018.
