AIR CARGO ADVANCE SCREENING (ACAS)
AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border Protection, DHS.
ACTION: Interim final rule; request for comments.
SUMMARY: To address ongoing aviation security threats, U.S. Cus-
toms and Border Protection (CBP) is amending its regulations per-
taining to the submission of advance air cargo data to implement a
mandatory Air Cargo Advance Screening (ACAS) program for any
inbound aircraft required to make entry under the CBP regulations
that will have commercial cargo aboard. The ACAS program requires
the inbound carrier or other eligible party to electronically transmit
specified advance cargo data (ACAS data) to CBP for air cargo trans-
ported onboard U.S.-bound aircraft as early as practicable, but no
later than prior to loading of the cargo onto the aircraft. The ACAS
program enhances the security of the aircraft and passengers on
U.S.-bound flights by enabling CBP to perform targeted risk assess-
ments on the air cargo prior to the aircraft's departure for the United
States. These risk assessments will identify and prevent high-risk air
cargo from being loaded on the aircraft that could pose a risk to the
aircraft during flight.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This interim final rule is effective June 12,
2018.
Comment date: Comments must be received by August 13, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Please submit any comments, identified by docket
