On October 20, 2010, CBP published a Federal Register Notice (FRN), 75 FR 64737, announcing the next release of ACE concerning the transmission of required advance ocean and rail data through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE).
With the publication of this notice CBP began accepting applications from all transmitters of required advance ocean and rail data wishing to participate in the test. Test participants will be chosen based on the selection criteria explicitly provided in the FRN and will be notified directly if they are chosen to participate in the initial test.
CBP is scheduled to deploy ACE ocean and rail functionality capabilities for the initial group of test participants no earlier than December 22, 2010. Shortly after the successful completion of the test, but no earlier than March 22, 2011, CBP plans to publish a subsequent FRN announcing that ACE will be the only CBP-approved EDI for required advance ocean and rail data.
Interested participants should refer to the FRN for a more detailed description of the test and participation eligibility requirements.
