SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 24, 1994, the Commissioner of Customs directed that 
Customs develop an Automated Export System (AES). This system is being 
developed as a cooperative team effort involving Customs and the Bureau 
of the Census.
    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, and after this presentation the floor will be open to all 
attendees for general informal discussion of the AES program.
    The first meeting will be held in Washington, D.C. on Friday, July 
8, 1994, commencing at 9:00 a.m. in Hearing Room B of the Interstate 
Commerce Commission Building. In order to ensure that overcrowding does 
not result, persons planning to attend the meeting are requested to 
preregister by contacting Lorna Finley, AES Development Team, 
preferably by FAX (202-927-0742) or, for those without access to FAX 
equipment, by telephone (202-927-0280).
    Additional public meetings on AES are planned for the following 
locations: Boston, Massachusetts; New York, New York; Houston, Texas; 
New Orleans, Louisiana; Seattle, Washington; Los Angeles, California; 
and Portland, Oregon. Appropriate notice will be published in the 
Federal Register when the dates, times and specific locations for these 
meetings have been established.
