SINCE 0800 ON 10-9-92, MOST OF THE ABI BROKERS AND IMPORTERS IN MIAMI,
SAVANNAH, CHARLESTON AND CHARLOTTE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO COMMUNICATE
WITH THE CUSTOMS ACS COMPUTER SYSTEM DUE TO FIBER OPTIC PROBLEMS WITH
THE SPRINT PHONE LINES CAUSED BY REGIONAL FLOODING.
THIS AFFECTS BROKERS AND IMPORTERS IN SEVERAL AREAS IN ADDITION TO THOSE
MENTIONED, SINCE ANY DATA PROCESSING SITES LOCATED IN THESE AREAS WOULD
BE IMPACTED.
CONCERNING THE ISSUE OF LATE FILED ENTRY SUMMARIES AND PAYMENT OF DUTIES
THAT WERE DUE ON OCTOBER 9, 1992, WE ARE EXTENDING ONE ADDITIONAL DAY
WITHOUT PENALTY TO ALL FILERS AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM.
