Background

I. Reconciliation Test

    On December 12, 2016, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
published a notice entitled ``Modification of the National Customs 
Automation Program Test Regarding Reconciliation and Transition of the 
Test from the Automated Commercial System to the Automated Commercial 
Environment'' in the Federal Register (81 FR 89486), with an effective 
date of January 14, 2017. This notice announced modifications to the 
National Customs Automation Program (NCAP) test regarding 
reconciliation, and the transition of the test from the Automated 
Commercial System (ACS) to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). 
On January 17, 2017, CBP published a notice in the Federal Register (82 
FR 4901) announcing that the effective date for the test modifications 
would be delayed indefinitely.
    CBP has assessed stakeholder readiness for the mandatory transition 
of post-release capabilities in ACE, including the modifications to the 
reconciliation test and the transition of reconciliation filings from 
ACS to ACE. This notice announces that the new effective date for the 
modifications to the reconciliation test, as announced in the December 
12, 2016 notice published in the Federal Register, and for mandatory 
filing of reconciliation entries in ACE will be July 8, 2017.

II. Post-Summary Correction and Periodic Monthly Statement Tests

    On December 12, 2016, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
published a notice in the Federal Register (81 FR 89482) announcing 
plans to modify and clarify, effective January 14, 2017, the NCAP test 
regarding Post-Summary Correction (PSC) claims, and the NCAP test 
regarding Periodic Monthly Statements (PMS). Subsequently, on January 
9, 2017, CBP published a second notice in the Federal Register (82 FR 
2385), superseding the original notice. This notice announced CBP's 
plans to modify the PMS test and to modify and clarify the NCAP test 
regarding PSC claims to entry summaries that are filed in ACE. On 
January 17, 2017, CBP published a

notice in the Federal Register, (82 FR 4901) announcing that the 
effective date for the modifications to the PSC and PMS tests would be 
delayed until further notice.
    CBP has assessed stakeholder readiness for the mandatory transition 
of post-release capabilities in ACE, including the modifications to the 
PSC and PMS tests. This notice announces July 8, 2017 as the new 
effective date for the modifications to these tests. Therefore, the 
modifications to the PSC and PMS tests, as announced in the January 9, 
2017 notice published in the Federal Register, will become effective on 
that date.
