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.
    In this document, Customs is announcing the following public 
meetings on AES:

1. Boston, Massachusetts--July 19, 1994, commencing at 2:00 p.m.,

    In order to ensure that overcrowding does not result, persons 
planning to attend a meeting are requested to preregister by contacting 
the individual identified as the contact person for the city where they 
plan on attending.
    Additional public meetings on AES are planned for the following 
locations: 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
