CUSTOMS HAS DEFINED AND WILL SOON BEGIN PROGRAMMING AN
ENHANCEMENT IN ACS PROVIDING A MECHANISM FOR RECORDING THAT THE
CARGO ASSOCIATED WITH AN ENTRY HAS PHYSICALLY ARRIVED IN THE
CUSTOMS TERRITORY OF THE UNITED STATES. THIS PROJECT IS
NECESSARY TO FACILITATE FUTURE EXPANSION OF THE FOOD AND DRUG
(FDA) INTERFACE TO ADDITIONAL LAND BORDER LOCATIONS.
CURRENTLY, FDA MESSAGES ARE THE ONLY CARGO RELEASE PROCESSING
RESULTS MESSAGES ISSUED TO ABI FILERS FOR LAND BORDER ENTRIES.
THE TIME AT WHICH THESE MESSAGES ARE ISSUED FOLLOWS THE SAME
RULES THAT GOVERN ISSUING MESSAGES FOR NON-LAND BORDER ENTRIES.
CUSTOMS CARGO RELEASE PROCESSING RESULTS MESSAGES ARE NOT ISSUED
FOR LAND BORDER ENTRIES BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED A COMPROMISE OF
ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS TO ISSUE INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE
RESULTS OF CARGO RELEASE PROCESSING WHEN CARGO MAY STILL BE IN
THE EXPORTING COUNTRY. IT HAS NOW BEEN DECIDED THAT RETURNING
FDA PROCESSING RESULTS UNDER THESE CONDITIONS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR
THE SAME REASON.
RECORDING CARGO ARRIVAL WILL ALLOW ACS TO CONTINUE RETURNING FDA
MESSAGES FOR LAND BORDER ENTRIES AND WILL ALLOW ACS TO BEGIN
RETURNING ALL CUSTOMS CARGO RELEASE PROCESSING RESULT MESSAGES TO
ABI FILERS OF LAND BORDER ENTRIES WITHOUT COMPROMISING
ENFORCEMENT CONCERNS. RECORDING CARGO ARRIVAL WILL BE PERFORMED
BY CUSTOMS AND WILL NOT REQUIRE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR
DATA TRANSMISSIONS FROM THE ENTRY FILER. THERE WILL THOUGH BE
SOME MODIFICATION TO HOW ACS RESPONDS TO ABI CARGO RELEASE INPUT
TRANSACTIONS AND QUERIES. THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF ABI
APPLICATIONS THAT WILL BE AFFECTED AND A DESCRIPTION OF THE
CHANGES TO EACH APPLICATION.

NOTE THAT THROUGHOUT THIS DOCUMENT THE TERM 'CARGO RELEASE DATA'
REFERS TO ENTRY DATA SUBMITTED USING APPLICATION HI OR HN, OR TO
ENTRY SUMMARY DATA SUBMITTED USING APPLICATION EI IF THE DATA IS
CERTIFIED FOR CARGO RELEASE PURPOSES.
APPLICATION RR - CARGO RELEASE PROCESSING RESULTS
-------------------------------------------------------
CURRENTLY FDA MESSAGES ARE THE ONLY CARGO RELEASE PROCESSING
RESULTS MESSAGES ISSUED TO ABI FILERS FOR LAND BORDER ENTRIES.
THE TIME AT WHICH THESE MESSAGES ARE ISSUED IS BASED ON THE
ESTIMATED DATE OF ARRIVAL SUBMITTED BY THE FILER WITH THE CARGO
RELEASE DATA.
AFTER IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROJECT THE FDA MESSAGES WILL NOT BE
ISSUED UNTIL CUSTOMS HAS RECORDED THE CARGO ARRIVAL. IN
ADDITION, ALL OF THE CARGO RELEASE PROCESSING RESULTS MESSAGES
ISSUED FOR NON-LAND BORDER ENTRIES WILL ALSO BE ISSUED FOR LAND
BORDER ENTRIES, BUT NOT UNTIL CUSTOMS HAS RECORDED THE CARGO
ARRIVAL. REFER TO THE CARGO RELEASE CHAPTER OF THE CUSTOMS AND
TRADE AUTOMATED INTERFACE REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT (CATAIR), PAGES
CRL-R1-01 THROUGH CRL-R7-01, FOR SPECIFICS RELATED TO CARGO
RELEASE PROCESSING RESULTS MESSAGES.
APPLICATION IN - CARGO RELEASE PROCESSING RESULTS QUERY
------------------------------
AS DESCRIBED IN THE APPLICATION RR SECTION ABOVE, ALL OF THE
CARGO RELEASE PROCESSING RESULTS MESSAGES CURRENTLY ISSUED FOR
NON-LAND BORDER ENTRIES WILL ALSO BE ISSUED FOR LAND BORDER
ENTRIES, BUT NOT UNTIL CUSTOMS HAS RECORDED CARGO ARRIVAL. THESE
MESSAGES WILL ALSO BE ACCESSIBLE USING THE CARGO RELEASE
PROCESSING RESULTS QUERY.
IF A CARGO RELEASE PROCESSING RESULTS QUERY IS RECEIVED FOR AN
ABI LAND BORDER ENTRY, AND CUSTOMS HAS NOT YET RECORDED CARGO
ARRIVAL FOR THAT ENTRY THE QUERY TRANSACTION WILL BE REJECTED,
AND AN R0 RECORD CONTAINING AN APPROPRIATE ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE
RETURNED. REFER TO THE CARGO RELEASE QUERY CHAPTER OF THE
CATAIR, PAGES CRQ-R1(I)-01 THROUGH CRQ-R7(O)-01.
APPLICATION II - CARGO RELEASE QUERY
------------------------------------
FOR ALL LAND BORDER ENTRIES PROCESSED THROUGH THE ACS CARGO
SELECTIVITY MODULE, RELEASE DATE AND STATUS INFORMATION
ACCESSIBLE USING THE CARGO RELEASE QUERY WILL BE AVAILABLE
IMMEDIATELY AFTER CUSTOMS HAS RECORDED THE ARRIVAL OF THE CARGO,
BUT NOT UNTIL THEN.
CURRENTLY THIS INFORMATION IS SUPPRESSED UNTIL 5 DAYS AFTER THE
RELEASE DATE. THIS POLICY WAS THE TOPIC OF ADMINISTRATIVE
MESSAGE NUMBERS 0900 AND 0955, DATED 08/21/91 AND 12/03/91
RESPECTIVELY, AND WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR ALL LAND BORDER
ENTRIES NOT PROCESSED THROUGH THE CARGO SELECTIVITY MODULE.
IF A CARGO RELEASE QUERY IS RECEIVED FOR A LAND BORDER ENTRY
PROCESSED THROUGH ACS CARGO SELECTIVITY, AND CUSTOMS HAS NOT YET
RECORDED CARGO ARRIVAL FOR THAT ENTRY, A "2" WILL BE RETURNED IN
THE RELEASE STATUS FIELD OF THE I1 RECORD, POSITION 32, AND
"000000" (ZEROS) WILL BE RETURNED IN THE RELEASE DATE FIELD,
POSITIONS 33-38 OF THE SAME RECORD. IF CUSTOMS HAS RECORDED THE
CARGO ARRIVAL, APPLICABLE RELEASE DATE AND STATUS INFORMATION
WILL BE RETURNED. REFER TO THE CARGO RELEASE QUERY CHAPTER OF
THE CATAIR, PAGES CRQ-I1(O)-01 THROUGH CRQ-I1(O)-03.

MESSAGE NUMBERS 0900 AND 0955, DATED 08/21/91 AND 12/03/91
RESPECTIVELY, AND WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR ALL LAND BORDER
ENTRIES NOT PROCESSED THROUGH THE CARGO SELECTIVITY MODULE.
IF AN ENTRY SUMMARY QUERY IS RECEIVED FOR A LAND BORDER ENTRY
PROCESSED THROUGH ACS CARGO SELECTIVITY, AND CUSTOMS HAS NOT YET
RECORDED CARGO ARRIVAL FOR THAT ENTRY, A "2" WILL BE RETURNED IN
THE RELEASE STATUS FIELD OF THE J1 RECORD, POSITION 74. IF
