SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Post-Summary Correction (PSC) and Periodic Monthly Statement (PMS) Test 
Programs

    The National Customs Automation Program (NCAP) was established by 
Subtitle B of Title VI--Customs Modernization in the North American 
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Implementation Act (Customs Modernization 
Act) (Pub. L. 103-182, 107 Stat. 2057, 2170, December 8, 1993) (19 
U.S.C. 1411). Through NCAP, the thrust of customs modernization was on 
trade compliance and the development of the Automated Commercial 
Environment (ACE), the planned successor to the Automated Commercial 
System (ACS) as the CBP-authorized electronic data interchange (EDI) 
system. ACE is an automated and electronic system for commercial trade 
processing which is intended to streamline business processes, 
facilitate growth in trade, ensure cargo security, and foster 
participation in global commerce, while ensuring compliance with U.S. 
laws and regulations and reducing costs for CBP and all of its 
communities of interest. The ability to meet these objectives depends 
on successfully modernizing CBP's business functions and the 
information technology that supports those functions. CBP's 
modernization efforts are accomplished through phased releases of ACE 
component functionality designed to replace specific legacy ACS 
functions and add new functionality. Section 101.9(b) of title 19 of 
the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR 101.9(b)) provides for the 
testing of NCAP components. See T.D. 95-21, 60 FR 14211 (March 16, 
1995). A list of ACE tests is provided in Section III below.
1. PSC Test Program
    On June 24, 2011, CBP published a notice in the Federal Register 
(76 FR 37136) that announced a plan to conduct an NCAP test concerning 
new ACE capabilities which allow importers to file a PSC for certain 
entry summaries using the Automated Broker Interface (ABI). Importers 
and other brokers are also allowed to use ABI to file a PSC to those 
pre-liquidation ACE entry summaries that were accepted by CBP, fully 
paid, and under CBP control. On November 19, 2013, CBP published a 
notice in the Federal Register modifying and clarifying the terms and 
conditions of the PSC test. See 78 FR 69434.
2. PMS Test Program
    On February 4, 2004, CBP published a notice in the Federal Register 
(69 FR 5362) that announced a plan to conduct an NCAP test concerning 
PMS which allows importers to deposit estimated duties, fees and taxes 
on a monthly basis. CBP modified and clarified the PMS test in seven 
subsequent Federal Register notices published on: September 8, 2004 (69 
FR 54302); February 1, 2005 (70 FR 5199); August 8, 2005 (70 FR 45736); 
September 22, 2005 (70 FR 55623); January 20, 2006 (71 FR 3315); June 
2, 2006 (71 FR 32114); and October 17, 2008 (73 FR 61891).

II. Test Modifications and Clarifications

    This document announces numerous modifications and clarifications 
to the PSC and PMS tests. Each modification and clarification is 
discussed separately below. Except to the extent expressly announced or 
modified by this document, all aspects, rules, terms, requirements, 
obligations and conditions announced in previous notices regarding the 
PSC and PMS tests remain in effect.

A. Modifications and Clarifications of the PSC Test

1. Expansion of Entry Types
    This document announces that CBP is expanding the type of entries 
that may be corrected by filing a PSC, in addition to the current entry 
types 01 (Consumption--Free and Dutiable) and 03 (Consumption--
Antidumping/Countervailing Duty). The additional entry types are as 
follows:

 02--Consumption--Quota/Visa
 06--Consumption--Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ)
 07--Consumption--Antidumping/Countervailing Duty and Quota/
Visa Combination
 21--Warehouse
 22--Re-Warehouse
 23--Temporary Importation Bond (TIB)
 31--Warehouse Withdrawal--Consumption
 32--Warehouse Withdrawal--Quota
 34--Warehouse Withdrawal--Antidumping/Countervailing Duty
 38--Warehouse Withdrawal--Antidumping/Countervailing Duty & 
Quota/Visa Combination
 51--Defense Contract Administration Service Region (DCASR)
 52--Government--Dutiable
2. Merchandise Subject to Quota
    When filing a PSC for an entry of merchandise subject to quota, the 
date and time of submission will be considered the date and time of 
presentation of the merchandise to CBP. If a PSC is filed on an entry 
with merchandise subject to quota, and the quota is full or nearly full 
at threshold, the PSC filer must do two things. The filer must follow 
the Entry Summary Business Rules and Process Document on www.CBP.gov 
and also, within 24 hours of making the correction, contact 
Headquarters Quota Branch: (202) 863-6560 (public phone number), email 
address: [email protected], regardless of whether the correction 
concerns merchandise subject to quota.
3. Deposit of Duties, Fees and Taxes With PSC Showing Increase in 
Liability
    This document announces that if a PSC is filed that increases the 
importer's liability for duties, fees or taxes, the importer must 
deposit those additional duties, fees and taxes within three business 
days of submitting the PSC. No additional PSCs can be filed until those 
duties, fees and taxes are deposited.
4. Change of Entry Type When Antidumping and/or Countervailing Duties 
Are Involved
    Previously, a filer under the PSC test could not change a type 03 
entry to a type 01 entry. See 76 FR 37136. This document announces that 
a PSC may declare that a previously filed entry which stated that 
merchandise covered by that entry was subject to antidumping and/or 
countervailing duties is not, in fact, subject to such duties. For 
instance, a PSC may declare that a previously filed 03 entry type is

[[Page 89484]]

corrected to indicate it is a 01 entry type.
5. Elimination of CBP's Policy of Rejecting a PSC When There Is No 
Deposit of Antidumping and/or Countervailing Duties at Time of 
Submission of PSC
    This notice announces a change in CBP policy which will allow an 
importer to deposit new or additional antidumping and/or countervailing 
duties within three business days of submitting the PSC. However, no 
additional PSCs can be filed until the duties are deposited. 
Previously, when a PSC declared that an entry was corrected to indicate 
it was subject to antidumping and/or countervailing duties, or a 
greater amount of antidumping and/or countervailing duties was owed, 
and those duties were not deposited at the time of submitting the PSC, 
CBP would reject the PSC.
6. No Filing of PSC To Make a Post-Importation Claim Under 19 U.S.C. 
1520(d)
    On June 24, 2011, CBP announced in the Federal Register (76 FR 
37136) that one of the data elements that may not be modified via a PSC 
is the NAFTA indicator. This notice clarifies that such prohibition 
applies not only to a post-importation NAFTA claim under 19 U.S.C. 
1520(d), but also to a claim made under other free trade agreements 
covered by 19 U.S.C. 1520(d).
7. PSC Submission Within the Time Limitations Authorized by This Test
    On November 19, 2013, CBP published a notice in the Federal 
Register (78 FR 69434) that stated that a PSC cannot be filed when any 
merchandise covered by the original entry has been conditionally 
released and its right to admission has not been determined. This 
restriction was overly broad and prevented importers from filing a PSC 
because all goods are conditionally released and their admissibility is 
not legally determined until liquidation. This notice announces that 
this restriction does not prevent the filing of a PSC within the time 
periods allowed as long as all other requirements and limitations are 
met. The time limits authorized by this test are set forth in notices 
published in the Federal Register on June 24, 2011 (76 FR 37136) and 
November 19, 2013 (78 FR 69434). This clarification is in line with 
current practice.
B. Modification to the PMS Test
    This notice announces that CBP will consider a PMS as paid, in the 
event the importer uses the Automated Clearing House (ACH) debit 
process, when CBP receives confirmation from the Treasury Department 
that funds are available and transferred to CBP from the financial 
institution designated by the importer for payment of the ACH debit 
authorization. Prior to this modification, CBP considered a PMS as paid 
when CBP transmitted the debit authorization to the designated 
financial institution. See 69 FR 5362 (February 4, 2004). This change 
will result in a delay of approximately two working days in the time 
that CBP uses to consider a PMS as paid. It is important to note that 
this modification applies only to importers who participate in the test 
program. For all other importers, the current regulation, 19 CFR 
24.25(c)(4), still applies which means CBP will consider a statement as 
paid upon acceptance of the ACH debit authorization.
