THE AIR MANIFEST MODULE OF ACS WILL SUPPORT RJE COMMUNICATIONS
AS PART OF STEERING COMMITTEE PROJECT 324. PARTICIPATION IN AIR AMS BY
ABI BROKERS, FORWARDERS, CONTAINER STATIONS AND CARRIERS IS VOLUNTARY.

AIR AMS PARTICIPANTS NOMINATED BY THE AIR AMS WAYBILL ORIGINATOR
AS AGENT, MAY UPDATE ALL AIR WAYBILL DATA AND INITIATE INBOND OR LOCAL
TRANSFERS, WHILE AIR AMS PARTICIPANTS NOMINATED AS LIMITED AGENT, AS
PROVIDED FOR IN PROJECT 324, MAY ONLY UPDATE SHIPPER / CONSIGNEE NAME
AND ADDRESS DATA, AND INITIATE TRANSFERS. (A VALID BOND NUMBER MUST
BE PROVIDED FOR INBOND TRANSFER CAPABILITY.)

AIR AMS PARTICIPATION WILL SPEED THE RELEASE OF CARGO IMPORTED ON
AIR AMS CARRIERS AND/OR TRANSFERRED TO AIR AMS CONTAINER STATIONS BY
REDUCING THE OCCURRENCES WHEN THE AIR AMS USER IS NOT NOTIFIED OF ABI/
SELECTIVITY PROCESSING RESULTS DUE TO THE LACK OF MANIFEST DATA.

ABI BROKERS ELECTING TO PARTICIPATE IN AIR AMS UTILIZING RJE
COMMUNICATIONS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH THE CUSTOMS AIR MANIFEST INTERFACE
REQUIREMENTS (CAMIR-AIR) AND ADDENDA. RJE JOB SUBMISSION FORMATS WILL
BE PROVIDED AS SOON AS THEY ARE AVAILABLE, WHICH IS EXPECTED TO BE
APRIL. AN AIR AMS ORIGINATOR CODE AND JCL NECESSARY FOR AIR AMS RJE
COMMUNICATIONS WILL BE ISSUED PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF COMMUNICATION
AND CERTIFICATION TESTING. AIR AMS PARTICIPANTS CURRENTLY MAY UTILIZE
ARINC, SITA, GEISCO COMMUNICATION NETWORKS OR A LEASED DATA CIRCUIT TO
COMMUNICATE WITH AIR AMS.

FURTHER TECHNICAL INFORMATION REGARDING THIS PROJECT MAY BE
OBTAINED FROM THE AIR MANIFEST DEVELOPMENT BRANCH AT 202-927-1247.
