SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In a document 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. This 
notice is being issued to inform the public of the dates and times of 
additional meetings which will be held in San Jose, California, 
Atlanta, Georgia, and St. Louis, Missouri.
    Since AES is in the very early design stage, the AES Development 
Team, in coordination with the Bureau of the Census and the 
International Trade Administration of the Department of Commerce will 
be holding this series of three meetings which will focus on exporters 
for the purpose of (1) giving Customs managers an opportunity to 
provide exporters information related to the development of AES and (2) 
giving exporters an opportunity to ask questions, make suggestions, and 
provide Customs with informal ideas related to AES design and 
functionality. Each meeting opens with a short presentation on export 
processing, past, present and future. After this presentation, the 
floor is open to all attendees for general informal discussion of the 
AES program.
