THE CUSTOMS ACS SYSTEM HAS BEEN REJECTING FCC-REGULATED ENTRIES WHEN THE
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN IS THE UNITED STATES, AND THE FCC DATA DOES NOT
ACCOMPANY THE ENTRY SUMMARY. FCC DATA IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE TRANSMITTED
IF THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN IS THE U.S. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS SYSTEM PROBLEM
HAS BEEN GENERATING AN ABI REJECT MESSAGE, FORCING THESE ENTRIES TO BE
FILED NON-ABI.
THIS MESSAGE IS TO NOTIFY FILERS AT THE SAN FRANCISCO FCC PILOT PORTS
(2801/2809) THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED. THEY MAY NOW RESUME
SUBMITTING U.S. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN FCC ENTRIES THROUGH ABI WITHOUT BEING
REQUIRED TO SUBMIT FCC 740 DATA.
THIS SHOULD ALSO BE OF INTEREST TO FILERS WHO WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN
THE FCC INTERFACE WHEN IT IS EXPANDED NATIONWIDE ON NOVEMBER 23. FURTHER
INFORMATION ON THE EXPANSION WILL BE FORTHCOMING IN EARLY NOVEMBER.
QUESTIONS REGARDING THE FCC INTERFACE MAY BE DIRECTED TO YOUR ABI CLIENT
REPRESENTATIVE OR THE FCC PROJECT OFFICER, BECKY TRAFTON, AT CUSTOMS
HDQTRS., PHONE: 202/927-0721.
