* IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION TO ACH DEBIT PARTICIPANTS *

UNDER THE DIRECTION OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SERVICE (FMS), U.S. CUSTOMS
AND BORDER PROTECTION WILL SOON BE MIGRATING THEIR CURRENT ACH DEBIT
APPLICATION TO PAY.GOV. WE EXPECT THIS MIGRATION TO BE SEAMLESS FOR THE
MOST PART TO OUR ACH DEBIT PAYERS. THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE IN THE ABI
TRANSMISSION PROCESS. IN FACT, THE ONLY CHANGE THAT ACH DEBIT PAYERS
WILL SEE IS A CHANGE IN THE BANK CUSTOMER INFORMATION USED TO RETRIEVE
THE FUNDS FROM THE ACH DEBIT PAYERS' ACCOUNTS. THE CURRENT CUSTOMER
NUMBER 9000000640 AND TRANSIT ROUTING NUMBER 043000261 WILL BE REPLACED
WITH NEW CUSTOMER NUMBER 7005009701 AND TRANSIT ROUTING NUMBER
042736141.

ALL ACH DEBIT PAYERS WILL NEED TO NOTIFY THEIR BANKS OF THIS CHANGE AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY THOSE ACH DEBIT PAYERS WHO HAVE EDITS ON
THEIR ACCOUNTS FOR THIS CUSTOMER INFORMATION. * PLEASE ALSO BE AWARE
THAT DURING THIS TRANSITION, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT EITHER CUSTOMER
INFORMATION COULD BE USED FOR ACH DEBIT TRANSACTIONS. * WE EXPECT TO BE
COMPLETED WITH THE MIGRATION BY DECEMBER 31, 2005, WHEN ALL TRANSACTIONS
WILL REFLECT THE NEW CUSTOMER INFORMATION.

ANY ACH DEBIT REJECTIONS CAUSED BY ACH DEBIT PAYERS WHO FAILED TO
NOTIFY THEIR RESPECTIVE BANKS OF THIS CHANGE WILL BE SUBJECT TO ALL
PENALTIES CURRENTLY IMPOSED BY LAW.

PLEASE ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING THIS NOTIFICATION TO NAN VOLL,
REVENUE DIVISION, AT (317) 614-4458.
