ADVISING THE PUBLIC THAT THE TEST OF THE ELECTRONIC INTERFACE FOR
FILING AND QUERY OF PROTESTS, PETITIONS, AND INTERVENTIONS HAS
CONCLUDED AND IS NOW OPERATIONAL FOR ALL SERVICE PORTS OF CUSTOMS.
THE TEST FOLLOWED TEST PROCEDURES UNDER THE NATIONAL CUSTOMS
AUTOMATION PROGRAM (NCAP). REGULATORY STANDARDS REGARDING NCAP
TESTING ARE SET FORTH IN SECTION 101.9(B) OF THE CUSTOMS REGULATIONS
