Background

    A document published in the Federal Register (62 FR 51181) on 
September 30, 1997, notified the trade community of changes to the 
prototype National Customs Automation Program test of reconciliation, 
set forth the policy which makes the NCAP prototype the exclusive means 
to reconcile entries pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1484(b) and announced that 
the prototype will henceforth be referred to as the Automated 
Commercial System (ACS) Reconciliation Prototype. That notice invited 
public comments concerning any aspect of the planned test, informed 
interested members of the public of the requirements for voluntary 
participation, and established the process for developing evaluation 
criteria.
    Public comments were requested by November 14, 1997. Due to a 
public meeting (see notice published in the Federal Register (62 FR 
58769) published on October 30, 1997) which included discussions of the 
Prototype, an additional comment period is being granted to allow 
persons to comment with these discussions in mind. Comments are now 
being requested by December 15, 1997.
