TO SUPPORT CBP ANTI-TERRORISM INITIATIVES, A CHANGE IS BEING MADE TO THE
CARGO RELEASE (HI), BORDER CARGO RELEASE (HN), AND THE ENTRY SUMMARY
(EI) APPLICATIONS THAT WILL GIVE THE ABI FILERS THE CAPABILITY OF
TRANSMITTING AN ISSUER OF HOUSE BILL CODE FOR ENTRIES WITH A MODE OF
TRANSPORTATION (MOT) OF VESSEL (10-11) OR RAIL (20-21). THE BILL OF
LADING UPDATE TRANSACTION (LN) ALREADY HAS A FIELD FOR THE ISSUER CODE
OF HOUSE BILL NUMBER IN THE 'L3' RECORD, POSITIONS 32-35. FOR THE 'RR'
CARGO RESULTS TRANSACTION, A MODIFICATION IS BEING MADE TO THE 'R4'
OUTPUT RECORD.
THESE PROGRAMMING CHANGES WILL REMAIN VOLUNTARY UNTIL JANUARY 26, 2005.
ON OR ABOUT THAT OCTOBER 31, 2004, CBP WILL BE ABLE TO ACCEPT THE ISSUER
OF HOUSE BILL ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS.
CBP STRONGLY ENCOURAGES FILERS TO PROVIDE AN AUTOMATED NVOCC HOUSE BILL
(OR AN AUTOMATED CARRIER HOUSE BILL FOR NON-AUTOMATED NVOCC'S) WHENEVER
THEY EXIST. WHEN EITHER THE HOUSE BILL OF LADING OR THE ISSUER OF HOUSE
BILL CODE IS TRANSMITTED IN ONE OF THE INPUT RECORDS LISTED BELOW, THEN
BOTH FIELDS WILL BE REQUIRED (THEY ARE CONDITIONAL UPON EACH OTHER) FOR
MOT'S 10, 11, 20, AND 21.
IF AN ABI FILER TRANSMITS DATA IN THE ISSUER OF HOUSE BILL FIELD AND THE
MOT IS 40 OR 41, THE ENTRY WILL BE REJECTED. FOR THE 'HI' AND 'HN'
APPLICATIONS, THE ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE '56G' (ISSUER CODE/MOT CONFLICT)
AND FOR THE 'EI' APPLICATION THE MESSAGE WILL BE '03U' (HOUSE ISSUER
CODE/MOT CONFLICT). THIS REJECT WILL START AS SOON AS THE ABI FILERS
HAVE THEIR SOFTWARE MODIFIED TO TRANSMIT AN ISSUER OF HOUSE BILL (SCAC)
CODE IN THE APPLICATIONS LISTED IN THIS ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE.
