| 97-33854 | Land Border Carrier Initiative Program | Proposed Rule | This document proposes to amend the Customs Regulations to provide for the Land Border Carrier Initiative Program (LBCIP), a program designed to prevent smugglers of illicit drugs from utilizing commercial land conveyances for their contraband. The program provides for agreements between carriers and Customs in which the carrier agrees to increase its security measures and cooperate more closely with Customs and Customs agrees to apply special administrative provisions pertaining to penalty amounts and expedited processing of penalty actions if illegal drugs are found on a conveyance belonging to the participating carrier. Further, at certain high-risk locations along the land border, it is proposed to condition an importer's continued use of the Line Release method of processing entries of merchandise on the use of carriers/drivers that participate in the LBCIP. These proposed regulatory changes are designed to improve Customs enforcement of Federal drug laws along the land border by enhancing its ability to interdict illicit drug shipments through additional trade movement information provided by common carriers that voluntarily choose to participate in the LBCIP. | 1997-12-30 | 1997 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/12/30/97-33854/land-border-carrier-initiative-program | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-12-30/pdf/97-33854.pdf | Treasury Department; Customs Service | 497,96 | This document proposes to amend the Customs Regulations to provide for the Land Border Carrier Initiative Program (LBCIP), a program designed to prevent smugglers of illicit drugs from utilizing commercial land conveyances for their contraband.
