the progress of the 21st Century Customs Framework (21CCF) and E-
Commerce Task Forces. The 21CCF Task Force will provide an update on
the work addressed this past quarter, which includes discussions with

and Focus Group. The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) 2.0 Working
Group will provide an update regarding adding new members to the

well as single window automation with the PGAs.

industry stakeholders on trade enforcement areas affecting domestic
manufacturers and producers. The USMCA Working Group has reconvened and

3. The Secure Trade Lanes Subcommittee will provide updates on its
four active working groups: the Cross-Border Recognition Working Group,

consideration related to the trade community's proposed regulatory

Engagement Working Group continues to provide an opportunity for input
on CTPAT Trade Compliance program development and implementation from
trade members with broad subject matter expertise. The Cross-Border
Recognition Working Group continues to work on developing
recommendations for the committee's consideration regarding potential
changes to the current joint inspection program (Unified Cargo
Processing) and has continued its discussions on CBP's CTPAT program
and Mexico's Authorized Economic Operator program to ensure alignment
and compliance with the mutual recognition arrangement signed in 2014.

the work completed and topics discussed in its working groups. The
