SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In a notice published in the Federal Register on June 13, 1994, (59
FR 30383) Customs announced its intention of developing an Automated
Export System (AES) and informed the public that a series of meetings
would be held around the country regarding the AES. That notice
provided information on the first such meeting which was scheduled in
Washington, DC. This notice is being issued to inform the public of the
date and time of meetings which will be held in Boston, MA and New
York, NY.
Since AES is in the very early design stage, the AES Development
Team intends to hold a series of public meetings for the purpose of:
(1) Giving Customs managers an opportunity to provide the public with
information related to the development of AES and (2) giving attendees
an opportunity to ask questions, make suggestions, and provide Customs
with informal ideas related to AES design and functionality. Each
meeting will open with a short presentation on AES, past, present and
future. After this presentation, the floor will be open to all
attendees for general informal discussion of the AES program.
