Agenda

    The ability for the Committee to meet has been affected by the 
lapse in funding for the Department of Homeland Security. While U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection continued operations, the Committee did 
not engage with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Despite that, 
recommendations will be made for the July Public Meeting relating to 
the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) Minimum 
Security Criteria and the development and implementation of an outreach 
strategy designed to disseminate essential supplemental guidance to the 
trade community.
    Meeting materials will be available on July 6, 2026, at: <a href="http://www.cbp.gov/trade/stakeholder-engagement/coac/coac-public-meetings">http://www.cbp.gov/trade/stakeholder-engagement/coac/coac-public-meetings</a>.
