SUBJECT : PUBLICATION OF LICENSED/PERMITTED BROKER NAMES AND
ADDRESSES ON THE CUSTOMS WEB SITE
THE ELECTRONIC FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT AMENDMENTS OF 1996
REQUIRE THAT CUSTOMS PUBLISH A LIST OF CUSTOMHOUSE BROKERS ON THE
CUSTOMS WEB SITE. THIS LIST WILL INCLUDE THE NAMES AND ADDRESSES
OF LICENSED AND PERMITTED BROKERS, AS WELL AS THE PORT CODES
WHERE THE BROKERS ARE PERMITTED TO OPERATE.
HEADQUARTERS WILL OBTAIN THE INFORMATION NEEDED FOR THIS
PUBLICATION BY MEANS OF A DATAQUERY, WHICH WILL EXTRACT ALL
PERTINENT INFORMATION FROM THE AUTOMATED COMMERCIAL SYSTEM (ACS).
THIS MESSAGE IS BEING POSTED TO REMIND CUSTOMHOUSE BROKERS OF
THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER 19 CFR 111.30(A), WHICH STATES THE
FOLLOWING:
WHEN A BROKER CHANGES HIS BUSINESS ADDRESS, HE SHALL
IMMEDIATELY GIVE WRITTEN NOTICE OF HIS NEW ADDRESS TO THE
COMMISSIONER AND THE DIRECTOR OF THE PORT WHERE THE CHANGE
OF ADDRESS OCCURS.
IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE INFORMATION POSTED ON THE CUSTOMS WEB
SITE IS ACCURATE, WE ARE REQUESTING THAT ALL LICENSED CUSTOMHOUSE
BROKERS VERIFY THAT THEY HAVE PROVIDED UPDATED ADDRESSES TO LOCAL
CUSTOMS PORT OFFICES IN THE EVENT THAT A RECENT ADDRESS CHANGE
HAS OCCURRED.
EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 1, 1999, CUSTOMS WILL BEGIN GENERATING
DATAQUERIES TO EXTRACT INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR THE WEB SITE
PUBLICATION FROM ACS; THEREFORE, NOTIFICATIONS OF ADDRESS CHANGES
-2-
MUST BE SUBMITTED TO CUSTOMS NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, JANUARY 29,
1999, IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE CHANGES ARE INCORPORATED INTO
THE WEB SITE PUBLICATION. CHANGES OF ADDRESS THAT ARE PROVIDED
AFTER THIS DATE WILL NOT BE UPDATED ON THE WEB SITE PUBLICATION
UNTIL A SUBSEQUENT DATAQUERY EXTRACTION IS ACCOMPLISHED, WHICH
WILL OCCUR ON A QUARTERLY BASIS.
IF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS REQUIRED, PLEASE CONTACT LYNN
FALLIK, ENTRY, AT (202) 927-1962 OR ERIN RILEY, ENTRY, AT
