FROM: OFFICE OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY
SUBJECT: ERRONEOUS GENERATION OF JANUARY PERIODIC MONTHLY STATEMENTS
ON DECEMBER 21, 2005, THE JANUARY PERIODIC MONTHLY STATEMENTS
WERE GENERATED ONE MONTH EARLY. THIS HAS CAUSED ABI FILERS TO RECEIVE
REJECTIONS WHEN THEY ATTEMPTED TO TRANSMIT APPLICATION PN, PERIODIC
STATEMENT AUTHORIZATION MESSAGES. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED PREMATURE
PAYMENT AUTHORIZATIONS OF THE JANUARY PERIODIC MONTHLY STATEMENTS
TO CBP'S COLLECTION UNIT.
THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS
CAUSED BY THE PREMATURE ISSUANCE OF THE JANUARY PERIODIC MONTHLY
STATEMENTS:
1) IMPORTER AND BROKER ACCOUNTS WILL NOT BE DEBITED FOR THE JANUARY
PERIODIC MONTHLY STATEMENTS ERRNONEOUSLY ISSUED ON DECEMBER 21 AND THE
CBP COLLECTION UNIT IS REJECTING THE ERRONEOUS DEBIT AUTHORIZATIONS
RECEIVED ON DECEMBER 21, 2005. THE DECEMBER PMS DEBIT AUTHORIZATIONS
WILL BE PROCESSED AS USUAL ON THE EVENING OF DECEMBER 21, 2005.
2) ACS/ABI HAS ADJUSTED ITS PROGRAMMING TO ALLOW FILERS TO RETRANSMIT
THEIR PN AUTHORIZATIONS, EFFECTIVE FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 23.
FILERS SHOULD DELAY RETRANSMITTING PN AUTHORIZATIONS FOR PERIODIC
DAILY STATEMENTS UNTIL FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23.
3) THE JANUARY 2006 PERIODIC MONTHLY STATEMENT DEBIT AUTHORIZATIONS
WILL PROCESS AS REGULARLY SCHEDULED ON JANUARY 24, 2006.
CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION APOLOGIZES FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE
CAUSED BY THIS MATTER.
