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 Seattle, Washington, 
and Los Angeles, California.
    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:
