Six Months Delay Projected for ACE Rail and Sea Manifest Capabilities
Monday, July 28, 2008)
Washington — U.S. Customs and Border Protection is delaying the
deployment of the Automated Commercial Environment Rail and Sea Manifest
capabilities by at least six months due to problems discovered during
software testing.
ACE is the next generation of CBP technology designed to protect the
United States from terrorism and to ensure the country’s economic
vitality by expediting lawful trade. The new application will allow
vessel and rail carriers to use ACE when submitting advance cargo
information.
The primary cause of the delay is problems discovered during software
testing and the addition of new requirements to the project. As a result
of the schedule slip, an additional four to six month delay is projected
for the early 2009 deployment of initial ACE entry summary capabilities.
CBP is in the process of determining the impact these delays will have on
the overall ACE deployment schedule.
The Cargo Release portion of ACE is critical to many of the participating
government agencies CBP is working with as part of the International
Trade Data System process. The ITDS assists participants in identifying,
documenting and executing their plan to leverage ACE to improve their
business operations and further their agency missions.
CBP is committed to delivering the successful deployment of high quality
ACE capabilities to its employees and its partners in both government and
the trade community. ACE is a top priority for CBP and the Department of
Homeland Security.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within
the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control
and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports
of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons
out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.
