**Notes:**
As you can see, ACE will not only provide tangible benefits for CBP and the trade community, but it will also be the cornerstone of homeland security.  These efforts will help us to combat terrorism, integrate effectively, and facilitate legitimate trade around the world.
CBP invites importers who want to participate in ACE to refer to the Federal Register Notice (FRNs) of May 2002, which describe the application process and requirements for participation.  They also describe the test period which comprises the first phase of ACE.
CBP published two more FRNs in the winter of 2004.  These FRNs invited the participation of brokers and carriers in the ACE program and include the application processes and participation requirements specific to brokers and carriers.
