Title:Reminder: FAST/NCAP e-Manifest Message Concerning ACE Deployment on October 24, 2009 and October 25, 2009
Date:2009-10-23
To:truck
Links:previous, next

On October 24, 2009 and October 25, 2009, the FAST/NCAP e-Manifest application will be moved from the current FAST stand alone system and into the ACE Truck e-Manifest application. The migration of the current FAST process into ACE will result in the following impact to the FAST/NCAP manifest processing:

· The FAST system will stop processing MEDPID messages for account transactions at 09:00 am on Saturday October 24, 2009. Trade should stop sending MEDPID data to FAST.

· The Decal and Transponder Online Procurement System (DTOPS) will not be available starting at 03:00 pm on Saturday October 24, 2009.

· The FAST system will stop processing FAST/NCAP manifest CUSCAR messages starting at 06:00 pm on Saturday October 24, 2009. Trade should stop sending manifest data to FAST.

· FAST/NCAP arrival and release messages will continue to be sent to the trade until 11:00 pm on Saturday October 24, 2009 from the current FAST system.

· The above application and processes are scheduled to be restored by 05:00 am on Sunday October 25, 2009.

· Starting at 05:00 am on Sunday October 25, 2009 all FAST processing will be in the ACE truck application. At this time, the Trade may begin sending FAST transactions to the ACE system with the new queue name that has been previously provided.

Please note that this transition will have no effect on ACE standard e-Manifest EDI or portal filing. The only impact on ACE e-Manifest users will be the unavailability of DTOPS for conveyance decal and transponder record updates.
