ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE NUMBER 96-0120, DATED 02/21/96,
GAVE NOTIFICATION THAT A FUTURE ACS PROGRAMMING
MODIFICATION WOULD ALLOW PROVISIONAL CARGO RELEASE
PROCESSING RESULTS MESSAGES FOR PRE-FILED AIR ENTRIES TO
BE ISSUED ONE FULL DAY BEFORE THE ESTIMATED DATE OF
ARRIVAL (EDA) INSTEAD OF, AS CURRENTLY IS TRUE, WAITING
UNTIL THE EDA.
THE MODIFICATION WAS TO BE A RESPONSE TO THE NEED IN ACS
TO ACCOMMODATE FLIGHTS ARRIVING IMMEDIATELY OR SOON AFTER
MIDNIGHT. IN ORDER TO STRIKE A PROPER BALANCE BETWEEN
CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT AND TRADE FACILITATION EFFORTS ACS
PROGRAMS WILL BE MODIFIED INSTEAD TO ISSUE PROVISIONAL
CARGO RELEASE PROCESSING RESULTS MESSAGES FOR PRE-FILED
AIR ENTRIES 3 HOURS BEFORE EDA (9:00 PM EAST COAST TIME).
IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE WILL OCCUR AS SOON AS THE
PROGRAMMING CHANGES ARE COMPLETED AND TESTED. YOU WILL BE
NOTIFIED VIA ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE WHEN AN EXACT DATE IS
KNOWN. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT YOUR
CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE.
