66720 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 244 / Friday, December 19, 1997 / Notices

Customs is maintaining the

requirements for FROB cargo as set forth

in the September 10, 1996, notice.

Customs cannot accommodate the

requested changes because Customs

considers all cargo on board a vessel as

potentially being used to facilitate the

smuggling of narcotics and other

contraband into the United States.

Expressly stated, full bill of lading data

is required for FROB cargo originating

in Canada or from any other country

and the data must be transmitted in

English by the time of arrival.

Application Process

Parties desiring to participate in this

test program must submit a written

statement to the United States Customs

Service, Cargo Release Processing, 1300

Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Room 5.2b,

Washington, DC 20229–0002, on or

before 30 days from the date of

publication of this notice in the Federal

Register. The document, signed by an

authorized official of the carrier, must

state that the carrier wishes to

voluntarily participate in the test and

that the carrier meets all qualifications

as outlined in the September 10, 1996,

Federal Register notice as modified by

today’s document. The statement must

acknowledge that all submissions made

to Customs as part of the test are

required to be accomplished

electronically. The document must also

designate a national point of contact and

telephone number, and shall also

identify local contacts and telephone

numbers for the use of Customs

personnel at individual ports.

Basis for Participant Selection

Eligible importing carriers will be

considered for participation in the test.

Customs is looking for a variety of

circumstances and participants in the

test. Customs stresses that those not

selected for participation are invited to

comment on the test and to participate

in its evaluation.

Selection will be based on the depth

of an applicant’s electronic interface

capabilities and the ability to meet all

the user requirements in the CAMIR and

in this notice. Participants selected will

be notified by means of the Customs

Electronic Bulletin Board.
