A planned deployment of new Broker Management Office functionalities in ACE is being postponed until December, a CBP official said on a trade call held Sept. 26. The new capability, which “streamlines the employee reporting process for brokers, enhances messaging to the field Broker Management Officers (BMO), and automates the generation of licenses and permits in ACE,” according to the most current ACE deployment schedule (see 1909030011), had been set for deployment Sept. 28. CBP soon plans to put out more information on the new functionality, and was getting an information notice ready to be published but held back as a result of the delay, the official said. One update will be to the employee reporting worksheet, where CBP will remove the delete action, she said.

CBP will not be enforcing its power of attorney (POA) requirements and one-person, one-shipment limits on an entry-by-entry basis as it conducts its Type 86 pilot of filing de minimis shipments via the ACE Automated Broker Interface, said Jim Swanson, CBP director-cargo and security controls, during a trade call held Sept. 26. The agency will still apply existing regulations on those areas in the pilot, but that will come in the “post-audit environment,” not at the time of entry, Swanson said.
