Agenda
The ability for the Committee to meet has been affected by the lapse in funding for the Department of Homeland Security. While U.S. Customs and Border Protection continued operations, the Committee did not engage with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Despite that, recommendations will be made for the July Public Meeting relating to the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) Minimum Security Criteria and the development and implementation of an outreach strategy designed to disseminate essential supplemental guidance to the trade community.
Meeting materials will be available on July 6, 2026, at: http://www.cbp.gov/trade/stakeholder-engagement/coac/coac-public-meetings.
Christopher J. Siepmann,
Executive Director, Office of Trade Relations.
