DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Customs Service

Conclusion of the National Customs

Automation Program Prototype

AGENCY: U.S. Customs Service,

Treasury.

ACTION: General notice.

SUMMARY: This document announces

Customs conclusion of the National

Customs Automation Program Prototype

(NCAP/P). Prototype operations must be

discontinued due to the cessation of

funding for the NCAP/P automated

system. Upon prototype conclusion,

NCAP/P participants must cease

entering goods and transmitting data

under NCAP/P procedures. This

document also provides instructions to

participants on procedures for

processing prototype entries using nonNCAP/P systems.

DATE: Termination of the NCAP/P will

be effective as of March 13, 2000. No

new applications for participation will

be accepted as of February 10, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Comments and requests regarding

NCAP/P termination may be directed to

Keith Fleming, U.S. Customs Service at

(202) 927–1049, or Virginia Noordewier,

U.S. Customs Service at (202) 927–3296.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The vision of the Automated

Commercial Environment (ACE) is to

establish a Trade Compliance Process

that achieves high levels of compliance

and reduces the cycle time required for

imports to clear Customs. NCAP/P is the

prototype for the first implementation of

this automated process.

Customs first announced its intention

to implement the NCAP/P in the

Federal Register on March 27, 1997 (62

FR 14731); the test was modified with

updated procedures in a notice

published in the Federal Register on

August 21, 1998 (63 FR 44949) which

replaced the previous notice. Customs

also published a notice in the Federal

Register on October 15, 1998 (63 FR

55426), announcing the proposed

expansion of the prototype to five

additional ports of entry.

The NCAP/P plan called for a fourstage implementation of new cargo

processing features over a period of up

to three years. The NCAP/P commenced

on April 27, 1998 with the

implementation of the cargo release

stage. Customs implemented the second

stage on October 13, 1998, which

provided for cargo release with

examination. At the time of this

termination, the third and fourth

stages—entry summary/periodic

payment and reconciliation—have not

been implemented.

Procedures

Upon prototype conclusion,

participants must immediately revert to

non-NCAP/P processing for all cargo

shipments.

A. As of the date 30 days from the

date of publication of this document in

the Federal Register, cargo release must

be obtained through existing nonNCAP/P systems or procedures.

B. Cargo releases previously obtained

through NCAP/P must be followed up

by summary data and payments

transmitted through existing non-NCAP/

P systems, e.g., the Automated

Commercial System.

Prototype Evaluation

Upon the conclusion of the NCAP/P,

an evaluation of the entire test will be

conducted and the results published in

the Federal Register and the Customs

Bulletin.

Dated: February 4, 2000.

Assistant Commissioner, Office of Field

Operations.
