§2083 Annual National Trade and Customs Law Violation Estimates and Enforcement Strategy

Summary

The Commissioner of Customs must send a report to the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee at least 30 days before each fiscal year (after fiscal year 1991). The report must estimate how many and how serious violations of certain trade, customs, and illegal drug control laws will likely happen that year, and how those violations will be spread among ports and customs regions. Within 60 days after August 20, 1990, the Commissioner must make a list of the specific laws the Customs Service enforces for these reports and can change that list later. Within 90 days after each report, the Commissioner must create a single national enforcement plan for the estimated violations and send the plan to the Committees. The Commissioner must also make a way to estimate how well people follow Customs laws and include a compliance evaluation in the reports for fiscal years 1994, 1995, and 1996 covering the 12 months before the 60th day before each year. The reports and plans are confidential and may only be seen by certain designated federal officers and authorized Committee chairs, members, and staff.
