fairness of fee structure; and the knowledge of cargo handling
operations and of CBP procedures. The names of all corporate officers
and all employees who will come in contact with uncleared cargo will
also be provided so that CBP may perform background investigations. The
CES application is provided for by 19 CFR 118.11 and is authorized by
19 U.S.C. 1499, Tariff Act of 1930.
