updates on
[[Page 33623]]
its task forces and working groups. It is expected there will be
recommendations for the committee's consideration from the 21st Century
Customs Framework (21CCF) Task Force and Focus Group, along with a
close out report for this task force. The Customs Interagency Industry
Working Group (CII) (formerly the One U.S. Government Working Group)
will provide an update on the work addressed this past quarter, which
included identifying possible Partner Government Agencies for
representation on the working group and discussion of the legislative
trade proposals stemming from the 21CCF Task Force and Focus Group. An
update is expected on the progress of the Automated Commercial
Environment (ACE) 2.0 Working Group regarding its review of the CBP ACE
2.0 Concept of Operations processes. The E-Commerce Task Force will
provide updates regarding its discussions this past quarter pertaining
to duplicate messaging related to security and trade filings. The
Passenger Air Operations (PAO) Working Group aims to identify ways to
modernize passenger processing rules and regulations, streamline the
passenger experience at U.S. ports of entry, and identify challenges
that affect operations. While this is a new group, the expectation is
that recommendations will be developed and submitted for consideration
at future COAC public meetings.
2. The Rapid Response Subcommittee will provide updates from the
Broker Modernization Working Group and the United States-Mexico-Canada
Agreement (USMCA) Chapter 7 Working Group. The Broker Modernization
Working Group meets monthly and continues to focus on the 19 CFR part
111 final rules relating to Modernization of the Customs Broker
Regulations, Continuing Education for Licensed Customs Brokers, and
Customs Broker Licensing Exams. The USMCA Chapter 7 Working Group meets
bi-weekly. Its current focus is to review the Chapter 7 articles of the
USMCA and identify gaps in implementation between the United States,
Mexico, and Canada.
3. The Secure Trade Lanes Subcommittee will provide updates on its
five active working groups: the Export Modernization Working Group, the
In-Bond Working Group, the Trade Partnership and Engagement Working
Group, the Cross-Border Recognition Working Group, and the Pipeline
Working Group. The Export Modernization Working Group has continued its
work on the electronic export manifest pilot program and will provide
updates on its progress. The In-Bond Working Group may provide
recommendations for the committee's consideration and will provide
updates on the implementation of previously submitted recommendations.
The Trade Partnership and Engagement Working Group has focused its work
on previous recommendations to refine the language of possible benefits
for Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism Trade Compliance
partners and may provide additional recommendations for the committee's
consideration. The Cross-Border Recognition and Pipeline working groups
will provide updates on their work toward developing recommendations
for the committee's consideration.
4. The Intelligent Enforcement Subcommittee will provide updates on
the work completed and topics discussed in 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 Working Group
(IPRWG) will provide updates relating to the development of a portal on
the CBP Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) web page and to CBP's
implementation of the IPRWG's past recommendations concerning the
automation of detention and seizure. The Bond Working Group will report
on the ongoing discussions and status updates for eBond requirements.
The Forced Labor Working Group will provide updates regarding its work
and discussions regarding the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act
