FOLLOWING ARE CLARIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
RELATING TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE WAREHOUSE WITHDRAWAL MODULE AND
USE OF THE CF 7501 IN LIEU OF THE CF 7505:
1. THE ACS SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE, FOR A PERIOD OF AT LEAST 90 DAYS,
TO PROCESS WAREHOUSE WITHDRAWALS AS WAS DONE PRIOR TO
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW MODULE, I.E., USING JUST THE WAREHOUSE
ENTRY SUMMARY NUMBER AND PROCESSING THOUGH ACDA.
2. AT THIS TIME, FILING OF WITHDRAWALS VIA ABI IS OPTIONAL. HOWEVER,
THE USE OF A UNIQUE ENTRY NUMBER FOR ANY WITHDRAWAL FILED VIA ABI
IS MANDATORY.
3. IF AN ABI WITHDRAWAL IS FILED ON THE CF 7505 THE UNIQUE ENTRY
NUMBER (OR WAREHOUSE WITHDRAWAL NUMBER) SHALL BE SHOWN IN THE
BLOCK AT THE TOP, RIGHT CORNER OF THE FORM ENTITLED "WITHDRAWAL
NO. AND DATE."
4. AS STATED IN OTO6 BULLETIN BOARD MESSAGE ENT-1-CO:TO:E:O BK, DATED

OF THE CF 7501 FOR WAREHOUSE WITHDRAWAL FOR CONSUMPTION, DATED
MAY 13, 1994, WAS INTENDED TO GIVE THE TRADE AMPLE NOTICE OF A
CHANGE IN POLICY. IT DOES NOT PRECLUDE THE VOLUNTARY USE OF THE
CF 7501 PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE. HOWEVER, ANY WITHDRAWAL
SUBMITTED ON CF 7501 EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE
MUST CONFORM TO THE DIRECTIVE.
