(In October 2010, CBP published a Federal Register notice, announcing the next release of ACE concerning the transmission of required advance ocean and rail data through ACE. With the publication of this notice CBP began accepting applications from all transmitters of required advance ocean and rail data wishing to participate in the test. CBP has previously announced that it plans to pilot M1 in February 2011 and deploy it in Spring 2011. However, CBP has recently stated that the M1 pilot is on hold due to contractor issues.
