DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Customs Service

Extension of General Program Test;

Quota Preprocessing

AGENCY: Customs Service, Treasury.

ACTION: General notice.

SUMMARY: This notice announces that

the testing period for the quota

preprocessing program, which allows

for the electronic processing of quotaclass apparel merchandise, is being

extended through the year 2000. The

test is being extended and not expanded

at this time because of programming

changes that will be made to the

Automated Commercial System. When

the programming changes which are

scheduled to begin on March of 2000

have been completed, Customs will

expand the program to all ports. Public

comments concerning any aspect of the

test are solicited.

DATES: The test is extended from

January 1, 2000, until December 31,

2000, with evaluations of the test

occurring periodically. Applications to

participate in the test and comments

concerning the test will continue to be

accepted throughout the testing period.

ADDRESSES: Written comments

regarding this notice or any aspect of

this test should be addressed to Lori

Bowers, U.S. Customs Service, QWG

Team Leader, 1000 Second Ave., Suite

2100, Seattle, WA 98104–1020 or may

be sent via e-mail to

Lori.Bowers@customs.treas.gov.

Applications should be sent to the

prototype coordinator at any of the four

following port(s) where the applicant

wishes to submit quota entries for

preprocessing:

(1) Julian Velasquez, Port of Los

Angeles, 300 S. Ferry St., Terminal

Island, CA 90731;

(2) Tony Piscitelli, Los Angeles

International Airport, 11099 S. La

Cienaga Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90045;

(3) Barry Goldberg, JFK Airport, JFK

Building 77, Jamaica, NY 11430; and

(4) John Lava, Ports of New York/

Newark, 6 World Trade Center, New

York, NY10048.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lori

Bowers (206) 553–0452 or Cynthia

Porter (202) 927–5399.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July

24, 1998, Customs published a general

notice in the Federal Register (63 FR

39929) announcing the limited testing,

pursuant to the provisions of § 101.9(a)

of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR

101.9(a)), of a new operational

procedure regarding the electronic

processing of quota-class apparel

merchandise. The new procedure was

designed to allow certain quota entries

(merchandise classifiable in chapters 61

and 62 of the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS))

to be processed prior to carrier arrival,

thus, reducing the quota processing

time. The test was to be conducted at

only four ports located in New York/

Newark and Los Angeles and was to

commence no earlier than August 24,

1998, and run for approximately six

months. The notice informed the public

of the new procedure and eligibility

requirements for participation in the

test, and solicited comments concerning

any aspect of the test. The initial testing

of the quota preprocessing program did

not begin until September 15, 1998. The

six-month time period of the original

test expired on March 14, 1999.

On March 25, 1999, Customs

published a general notice in the

Federal Register (64 FR 14499)

announcing that the testing period for

the quota preprocessing program was

being extended through the remainder

of 1999. The testing was extended so

that Customs could further evaluate the

program’s effectiveness and determine

whether the program should be

extended to other ports. Again, the

notice informed the public of the

eligibility requirements for participation

in the test, and solicited comments

concerning any aspect of the test. The

testing of the program is currently

scheduled to expire on December 31,

1999.

In the future, Customs will be

expanding the quota preprocessing

program to all ports. However,

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 4 / Thursday, January 6, 2000 / Notices 807

programming changes have to be made

to the Automated Commercial System

(ACS) which would have an impact on

the expansion. These ACS programming

changes are scheduled to begin in

March of 2000.

This document announces that

Customs is extending the test of the

quota preprocessing prototype at the

ports where testing is already underway

until the end of 2000. Those ports are:

the port of Los Angeles; the port of New

York/Newark; JFK Airport; and Los

Angeles International Airport. Anyone

interested in participating in the test

should refer to the test notice published

in the July 24, 1998 Federal Register for

eligibility and application information.

Any expansion of the parameters of the

test will be the subject of a future

Federal Register notice.

Dated: January 3, 2000.

Acting Assistant Commissioner, Office of

Field Operation.
