automation involved. Subsequent

reviews will additionally consist of

evaluating the data received from the

importers, along with the internal and

external process operations of the

NCAP/P.

Additional importers may become

eligible during the prototype period,

using the eligibility requirements cited

above, thereby increasing the number of

companies involved in the NCAP/P. The

evaluation of the prototype as it pertains

to these importers may occur separately

from that which is done on the original

participants. Regardless, the intention of

the evaluations is to enhance

operational procedures and to develop

the detailed data requirements that are

needed for NCAP.

Note that the fact of participation in

the NCAP/P is not confidential

information. Lists of participants will be

made available to the public by means

of the Customs Electronic Bulletin

Board and the Customs Administrative

Message System, and upon written

request. We stress that all interested

parties are invited to comment on the

design, conduct, and evaluation of

NCAP/P at any time during prototype.

Upon conclusion of the prototype the

final results will be published in the

Federal Register and the Customs

Bulletin as required by § 101.9(b),

Customs Regulations and reported to

Congress.
