Operations Sub-Working Group. The
Centers Working Group as a whole,
through these two sub-working groups,
continues to evaluate the structure and
operations of the Centers to enhance
their effectiveness, increase
transparency, and build stronger
communities within CBP and with the
Trade. The Cross-Border Recognition
Working Group is evaluating whether
all deliverables outlined in the
Statement of Work have been achieved
to determine next steps. CBP has formed
a Task Force to assist the De Minimis
Working Group regarding the timeframe
for submitting de minimis shipments.
The De Minimis Working Group, via the
Task Force, intends to present proposed
recommendations at the December
quarterly COAC meeting. The Export
Modernization Working Group has
continued its work on the Electronic
Export Manifest Pilot Program and the
effects of progressive filing by the
shipper to continuously update export
information on successive dates, rather
than on a specific date. The Export
Modernization Working Group is also
working on previous proposed
recommendations to determine if new
proposed recommendations need to be
made and is reviewing the status of
proposed recommendations that have
not been finalized. The Drawback Task
Force, within the Export Modernization
Working Group, has continued
discussions around COAC-approved
recommendations that are in the process
of being implemented from last quarter.
They are also conducting an analysis of
program statistics in the areas of
streamlining drawback ruling processes,
reviewing compliance issues, and
examining areas to maximize resources.
The FTZ/Warehouse Working Group
continues to review 19 CFR part 146,
explore areas in which the CustomsTrade Partnership Against Terrorism
(CTPAT) program can be expanded, and
consider how to modernize ACE
functionality for Foreign Trade Zones
(FTZs), and it anticipates presenting
proposed recommendations for the
COAC’s consideration at the December
public meeting. The Pipeline Working
Group has continued discussing the
most appropriate commodities for and
potential users of Distributed Ledger
Technology to engage in the
contemplated pilot for tracking
pipeline-borne goods. The Global
Interoperability Standard (GIS)
Information Collection Federal Register
Notice (FRN) was published on
September 3, 2024 (89 FR 71381), and
comments were accepted through
November 4, 2024. The Pipeline
