AS YOU MAY BE AWARE, CUSTOMS PLANS TO MAKE THE FILING OF DRAWBACK SUMMARY
INFORMATION, CURRENTLY FILED VIA DISKETTES, AVAILABLE VIA ABI ON OR ABOUT
OCTOBER 2, 1995. WE ARE CURRENTLY PREPARING SPECIFICATIONS TO DISSEMINATE
TO ALL CURRENT ABI PARTICIPANTS (FILERS, VENDORS, SELF-PROGRAMMERS) AND TO
ALL OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES. WE NOW ANTICIPATE THAT DRAFT SPECIFICATIONS
WILL BE PUBLISHED ON OR ABOUT APRIL 24, 1995, AND WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE
AT THAT TIME VIA AN ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE. HARD COPIES OF THE SPECIFICA-
TIONS WILL ALSO BE MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THIS OFFICE BY CONTACTING
202-927-0299 OR THROUGH YOUR LOCAL DRAWBACK FIELD LOCATION (EACH REGIONAL
OFFICE AND SAN FRANCISCO). THESE DRAFT SPECIFICATIONS WILL INCLUDE THOSE
FOR THE CLAIM SUMMARY, A NEW NATIONAL DRAWBACK QUERY CAPABILITY (SIMILAR
TO NILS), AND A NEW POSTING BULLETIN INFORMATION QUERY.
WE WOULD ASK THAT WHEN THESE SPECIFICATIONS ARE RECEIVED THAT YOU DO NOT
BEGIN ACTUAL PROGRAMMING UNTIL WE ADVISE YOU TO DO SO. WE WOULD ANTICI-
PATE THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE A PROGRAMMING GO-AHEAD BEFORE THE END
OF MAY. THIS WILL GIVE US TIME TO ENSURE WE HAVE NO REQUIRED LAST-MINUTE
CHANGES.
ALSO, WE WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ADVISE ALL INTERESTED PARTIES
THAT WE HAVE DISSEMINATED A REVISED DRAWBACK ERROR MESSAGE DICTIONARY TO
OUR 8 DRAWBACK FIELD LOCATIONS FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE INTERESTED PUBLIC.
THE DICTIONARY EXPLAINS EACH POSSIBLE ERROR MESSAGE FOR THE CURRENT
DISKETTE FILING PROGRAM, AS WELL AS THE CURRENT REJECTION POLICY FOR
DRAWBACK CLAIMS CONTAINING CERTAIN ERRORS. COPIES OF THE DICTIONARY ARE
AVAILABLE THROUGH YOUR NEAREST DRAWBACK FIELD LOCATION OFFICE. WE WOULD
SUGGEST THAT YOU CONTACT THEM FOR A COPY.
