CBP continues to talk with the relevant stakeholders about the timeline for the Automated Commercial Environment, a CBP spokeswoman said in response to a question about possible high-level consideration for revising the mandatory use dates (see 1508140025). "Deputy Secretaries meet periodically to discuss a number of topics that the Department of Homeland Security has purview over, including ACE," she said. "Should the meeting result in any new information regarding ACE, CBP will issue information as soon as we receive it through press releases and a press roundtable." CBP has been working closely with partner government agencies (PGAs), the White House, and industry to meet the major milestones included in the 2014 executive order on the International Trade Data System (see 14021928), said the spokeswoman.
