UPDATE TO PERIODIC MONTHLY STATEMENT APPLICATION PROCEDURES FOR
NON-PORTAL ACCOUNTS AND C-TPAT CERTIFIED PARTNERS WHO HOLD
PORTAL ACCOUNTS.
THIS MESSAGE UPDATES ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGES 05-1233, DATED
10/25/2005, AND 05-1254, DATED 10/27/2005, WHICH DETAILED THE
STEPS NECESSARY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PERIODIC MONTHLY STATEMENT
TEST AS AN ACE NON-PORTAL ACCOUNT. FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS,
PLEASE READ ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGES 05-1233 AND 05-1254, AND
REFER TO FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICE 70 FR 61466, PUBLISHED OCTOBER
24, 2005. A COPY OF THE FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICE CAN BE FOUND ON
THE ACE FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICES LINK AT:
WWW.CBP.GOV/MODERNIZATION.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MAJORITY OF REJECTED PERIODIC MONTHLY
STATEMENT APPLICATIONS SIMPLY FAIL TO COMPLY WITH PUBLISHED
GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS.
IN ORDER TO FACILITATE APPLICATION VERIFICATION AND PROCESSING,
THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE NECESSARY:
-ALL APPLICATIONS SHOULD SPECIFY WHETHER THE PRINCIPAL ON THE
APPLICATION IS 1) PRESENTLY AN ACE PORTAL ACCOUNT OR NOT; AND,
2) CTPAT CERTIFIED OR NOT.
-DUE TO E-MAIL SYSTEM TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS, AN APPLICATION
SUBMITTED VIA EMAIL SHOULD CONTAIN NO MORE THAN 5 PAGES OF
SCANNED IMAGE ATTACHMENTS
-IF A BOND RIDER IS REQUIRED WITH THE SUBMISSION OF A NEW CBP
FORM 5106, AND THE RIDER IS SIGNED BY A PARTY ACTING ON BEHALF
OF THE PRINCIPAL, A COPY OF THE VALID POWER OF ATTORNEY SHOULD
BE SUBMITTED WITH THE PACKAGE. FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE POWER OF
ATTORNEY WILL DELAY THE PROCESSING OF THE BOND RIDER.
-THE SENDER OF THE APPLICATION SHOULD WATCH FOR AN AUTO-REPLY
MESSAGE FROM THE CBP BOND TEAM THAT CONFIRMS THE RECEIPT OF THE
E-MAIL APPLICATION. IF THEY DON'T RECEIVE THIS CONFIRMATION
WITHIN 72 HOURS OF THEIR SUBMISSION, THEY SHOULD RESUBMIT THEIR
APPLICATION.
CLARIFICATIONS
THERE IS NOT A NEW FORM CALLED AN "ACE 5106". ANY MENTION OF
THIS IN PREVIOUS PUBLICATIONS SIMPLY REFERS TO THE STANDARD CBP
FORM 5106.
THE BOND TEAM DEALS STRICTLY WITH ACTIVATIONS. OPERATIONAL
QUESTIONS ABOUT PERIODIC MONTHLY STATEMENTS AND PERIODIC MONTHLY
STATEMENT PROCESSING SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO PMS.MAILBOX@DHS.GOV,
YOUR CBP ACCOUNT MANAGER, OR YOUR ABI CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE.
