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

Summary

The Commissioner of Customs must give the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee a report at least 30 days before the start of each fiscal year after fiscal year 1991. The report must estimate how many and how serious violations of the trade, customs, and illegal drug control laws listed under subsection (b) will likely happen that year. It must also show how those violations are likely to be spread across ports of entry and customs regions. After talking with the Committees, the Commissioner must make a list, within 60 days after August 20, 1990, of the law provisions the Customs Service enforces. The list can be changed later. Within 90 days after sending the yearly report, the Commissioner must make a single national enforcement plan for that year and send the details to the Committees. The Commissioner must also create a method to estimate how well people follow the customs laws and, for fiscal years 1994, 1995, and 1996, include an evaluation of compliance for the 12 months ending 60 days before each fiscal year. The reports are confidential and may only be seen by officers and employees the Commissioner names, the chairmen of the two Committees, and committee members or staff those chairmen allow.
