** NOTIFICATION TO SURETIES, BROKERS, IMPORTERS, AND SOFTWARE VENDORS **

TWO NEW RECORD LAYOUTS (K3 AND K4) WILL BE ADDED TO THE IMPORTER/BOND
QUERY. THESE TWO NEW RECORDS WILL PROVIDE THE ADDRESS OF THE IMPORTER OF
RECORD FROM THE 5106 FILE, IF REQUESTED.

IN THE K(INPUT) RECORD THE "FILLER" SPACE AFTER EACH CLIENT NUMBER
(POSITIONS 15, 28, 41, 54, 67, AND 80) WILL BE CHANGED TO REPRESENT THE
"IMPORTER ADDRESS REQUEST CODE". THE NEW CODES WILL INDICATE IF THE
QUERY IS REQUESTING ONLY THE ADDRSS OF THE IMPORTER OF RECORD, OR IN
ADDTION TO THE K1 AND K2 RECORDS.

VALID CODES FOR THE "IMPORTER ADDRESS REQUEST CODE" ARE AS FOLLOWS:

SPACE - TRANSMIT ONLY THE K1 AND K2 RECORDS (NO CHANGES TO CURRENT
PROGRAMMING ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS OPTION).
1 - TRANSMIT K1, K2, K3, AND K4 RECORDS.
2 - TRANSMIT ONLY THE K3 AND K4 RECORDS.

INFORMATION FOR OPTION 1:
WHEN THE K1 RECORD IS TRANSMITTED THE IMPORTER NAME ON THE K4 RECORD
WILL ONLY BE REPEATED IF THE IMPORTER STATUS IS 'INACTIVE' OR 'VOID'.
OTHERWISE, THE IMPORTER NAME ON THE K4 RECORD WILL BE BLANK.

WHEN THE K2 RECORD IS TRANSMITTED, THE I/R NUMBER WILL NOT BE
REPEATED ON THE K4 RECORD.
