THIS IS A REMINDER THAT THE CUSTOMS/FCC INTERFACE FOR ELECTRONIC
TRANSMISSION OF FCC 740 DATA (RADIO FREQUENCY DEVICES) VIA ACS/ABI, WHICH
WAS EXPANDED NATIONWIDE ON NOVEMBER 23, 1992, ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS, WILL
BECOME MANDATORY FOR ALL ABI FILERS IN ALL PORTS ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22,
1993.
ABI ENTRIES WHICH ARE SUBMITTED WITHOUT THE REQUIRED 740 DATA WILL BE
REJECTED BY THE SYSTEM. FILING FCC 740 DATA ELECTRONICALLY WILL ELIMINATE
THE REQUIREMENT FOR SUBMISSION OF PAPER FORM FCC 740 FOR ABI FILERS.
ALL ABI BROKERS SHOULD CONTACT THEIR SOFTWARE VENDORS IMMEDIATELY
TO ENSURE THAT NECESSARY PROGRAMMING HAS BEEN DONE TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE
TO ACCOMMODATE THE FCC INTERFACE, IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO. SELF-
PROGRAMMERS SHOULD LIKEWISE BE READY TO HANDLE FCC ENTRIES ELECTRONICALLY.
ABI FILING REQUIREMENTS ARE IN THE CUSTOMS AND TRADE AUTOMATED INTERFACE
REQUIREMENTS (CATAIR) IN THE "OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES" SECTION.
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.
