ACE Entry Summary, Accounts, and Revenue (ESAR): Master Data and Enhanced Accounts (A1) Deployment Scheduled for 9 September 2007

Deployment of ACE Entry Summary, Accounts, and Revenue (ESAR): Master Data and Enhanced Accounts (A1) capabilities is scheduled to occur on Sunday, 9 September 2007.

Originally scheduled for August 26, 2007, the deployment was delayed due to an Automated Broker Interface (ABI) limitation. Following correction of the problem, deployment has been rescheduled for September 9, 2007.

Deployment of A1 will centralize the management of continuous bonds in ACE, provide electronic access to account master and reference data, and expand the number of ACE account types to include virtually every entity doing business with CBP.
