Agenda

    The COAC will hear from the current subcommittees on the topics 
listed below:
    1. The Intelligent Enforcement Subcommittee will provide updates on 
the work completed and topics discussed for its working groups. The 
Antidumping/Countervailing Duty (AD/CVD) Working Group will provide 
updates regarding its work and discussions on importer compliance with 
AD/CVD requirements. The Intellectual Property Rights Process 
Modernization Working Group will provide updates regarding development 
of an electronic notice of detention and enhanced procedures for 
manipulation of shipments, in addition to other practical proposals for 
enhancing communication concerning intellectual property rights issues 
between the trade, the rights holders, and CBP. The Bond Working 
Group's updates will include the status of proposed revisions to 
Directive 3510-004, ``Monetary Guidelines for Setting Bond Amounts,'' 
and the testing of electronic delivery of CBP Form 5955a Notice of 
Penalty or Liquidated Damages Incurred and Demand for Payment. The 
Forced Labor Working Group will submit recommendations for the 
committee's consideration regarding the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention 
Act (UFLPA) implementation as well as the UFLPA Importer Guidelines.
    2. The Next Generation Facilitation Subcommittee will provide 
updates on its task forces and working groups, including an update on 
the progress of the 21st Century Customs Framework (21CCF) and E-
Commerce Task Forces, and it is expected there will be recommendations 
for the committee's consideration in both areas. The Automated 
Commercial Environment (ACE) 2.0 Working Group will present 
recommendations for the committee's consideration stemming from the in-
depth gap analysis of areas that may be improved when CBP embarks on 
ACE 2.0 modernization. Finally, the One U.S. Government Working Group 
will provide an update on the work planned for upcoming quarters of the 
16th Term of the COAC.
    3. The Rapid Response Subcommittee will provide updates for the 
Domestic Manufacturing and Production (DMAP) Working Group and the 
Broker Modernization Working Group. CBP formed the DMAP Working Group 
to collaborate and obtain input from industry stakeholders on trade 
enforcement areas impacting domestic manufacturers and producers. While 
this is a new group, the expectation is that recommendations will be 
developed and submitted for consideration at an upcoming COAC public 
meeting. The topics for discussion for the Broker Modernization Working 
Group will include the April 2022 broker exam, potential regulatory 
updates to 19 CFR part 111, and requiring continuing education for 
licensed customs brokers.
    4. The Secure Trade Lanes Subcommittee will provide updates on the 
progress and plans for the In-Bond Working Group and the Remote and 
Autonomous Cargo Processing Working Group. The Partnership Programs and 
Industry Engagement Working Group (formerly Trusted Trader Working 
Group) topics of discussion will include the inclusion of forced labor 
into the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) program, 
as well as the proposed requirements CTPAT members must meet to 
mitigate the risk of forced labor in their supply chains. The Export 
Modernization Working Group will provide updates regarding

the development of policies for industry and government partners 
regarding data collection and sharing in all modes for exportation of 
goods out of the United States.
