H.R. 6826: CTPAT Pilot Program Act of 2022

117th Congress

To require a pilot program on the participation of third-party logistics providers in the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, and for other purposes.

Sponsor: Rep. Elissa Slotkin — D — MI

Requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to carry out a five-year pilot program to include certain third-party logistics providers in the customs trade partnership against terrorism (CTPAT) program. CTPAT is a voluntary program that encourages entities involved in international trade to cooperate with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to strengthen international supply chains, improve border security, and facilitate the movement of secure cargo through the supply chain. Interested entities would need to apply to DHS. The bill requires CBP to publish participation requirements for the pilot program in the Federal Register within one year of the bill’s enactment and submit a report to the Congress on its findings about the pilot program six months after it ends. H.R. 6826 also requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to report to the Congress on the effectiveness of the CTPAT program within 18 months.
