Washington, DC 20548 B-330150 June 27, 2018 The Honorable Ron Johnson Chairman The Honorable Claire McCaskill Ranking Member Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs United States Senate The Honorable Michael McCaul Chairman The Honorable Bennie Thompson Ranking Member Committee on Homeland Security House of Representatives Subject: Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection: Air Cargo Advance Screening (ACAS) Pursuant to section 801 (a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) entitled Air Cargo Advance Screening (ACAS) (RIN: 1651-AB04). We received the rule on June 7, 2018. It was published in the Federal Register as an interim final rule; request for comments on June 12, 2018. 83 Fed. Reg. 27,380. The effective date of the interim final rule is June 12, 2018. The final rule amends the regulations pertaining to the submission of advance air cargo data to implement a mandatory Air Cargo Advance Screening (ACAS) program for any inbound air craft required to make entry under 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 transported onboard U.S.-bound aircraft as early as practicable, but not later than prior to loading of the cargo onto the aircraft. According to CPB, the ACAS program enhances the security of the aircraft and passengers on U.S.-bound flights by enabling CBP to perform targeted risk assessments on the air cargo prior to the aircraft's departure for the United States. CBP stated that 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. The Congressional Review Act (CRA) requires a 60-day delay in the effective date of a major rule from the date of publication in the Federal Register or receipt of the rule by Congress, whichever is later. 5 U.S.C. § 801(a)(3)(A).

Therefore, the interim final rule does not have the required 60-day delay in its effective date.
