Agenda
The COAC will hear from the current subcommittees on the topics
listed below:
1. The Intelligent Enforcement Subcommittee will provide updates on
the work completed and topics discussed for its working groups. The
Antidumping/Countervailing Duty (AD/CVD) Working Group will provide
updates regarding its work and discussions on importer compliance with
AD/CVD requirements. The Intellectual Property Rights Process
Modernization Working Group will provide updates regarding development
of an electronic notice of detention and enhanced procedures for
manipulation of shipments, in addition to other practical proposals for
enhancing communication concerning intellectual property rights issues
between the trade, the rights holders, and CBP. The Bond Working
Group's updates will include the status of proposed revisions to
Directive 3510-004, ``Monetary Guidelines for Setting Bond Amounts,''
and the testing of electronic delivery of CBP Form 5955a Notice of
Penalty or Liquidated Damages Incurred and Demand for Payment. The
Forced Labor Working Group will submit recommendations for the
committee's consideration regarding the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention
Act (UFLPA) implementation as well as the UFLPA Importer Guidelines.
2. The Next Generation Facilitation Subcommittee will provide
updates on its task forces and working groups, including an update on
the progress of the 21st Century Customs Framework (21CCF) and E-
Commerce Task Forces, and it is expected there will be recommendations
for the committee's consideration in both areas. The Automated
Commercial Environment (ACE) 2.0 Working Group will present
recommendations for the committee's consideration stemming from the in-
depth gap analysis of areas that may be improved when CBP embarks on
ACE 2.0 modernization. Finally, the One U.S. Government Working Group
will provide an update on the work planned for upcoming quarters of the
16th Term of the COAC.
3. The Rapid Response Subcommittee will provide updates for the
Domestic Manufacturing and Production (DMAP) Working Group and the
Broker Modernization Working Group. CBP formed the DMAP Working Group
to collaborate and obtain input from industry stakeholders on trade
enforcement areas impacting domestic manufacturers and producers. While
this is a new group, the expectation is that recommendations will be
developed and submitted for consideration at an upcoming COAC public
meeting. The topics for discussion for the Broker Modernization Working
Group will include the April 2022 broker exam, potential regulatory
updates to 19 CFR part 111, and requiring continuing education for
licensed customs brokers.
4. The Secure Trade Lanes Subcommittee will provide updates on the
progress and plans for the In-Bond Working Group and the Remote and
Autonomous Cargo Processing Working Group. The Partnership Programs and
Industry Engagement Working Group (formerly Trusted Trader Working
Group) topics of discussion will include the inclusion of forced labor
into the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) program,
as well as the proposed requirements CTPAT members must meet to
mitigate the risk of forced labor in their supply chains. The Export
Modernization Working Group will provide updates regarding
[[Page 35565]]
the development of policies for industry and government partners
regarding data collection and sharing in all modes for exportation of
goods out of the United States.
