New
One-Stop Site for Export Assistance
A new
interagency site sponsored by the U.S. Small Business Administration
provides access to international trade information and services
needed to succeed in today's increasingly global economy.
Federal Task Force Is Working on an Automated Import/Export System
Attention,
importers, exporters, brokers, carriers, and others associated with
international trade transactions. A small federal task force working
under the Treasury Department is developing an International Trade
Data System, an automated import/export system. ITDS will establish
one standardized and harmonized data record that will meet the information
and regulatory requirements of federal trade agencies. The group
has developed a website, International
Trade and Transport Advisor that will become a one-stop shop
for you. If you click on the link, some browsers won't let you come
back to our Access America E-Gov E-Zine unless you double-click
on "Back." So take a look, but please come back to finish your visit
with us.
We're Looking for
Stories
Federal workers
are doing amazing things to deliver government services electronically.
Access America E-Gov E-Zine wants to tell these stories.
We are looking
for stories about federal agencies, or multi-agency partnerships,
that are supporting international trade with user-friendly electronic
access to comprehensive export and import data.
These stories
can be short, as in a "byte" of about 150 words, or they can be
longer feature stories. Write feature stories in plain language
with quotes from customers who experience the service electronically
and quotes from federal employees and their partners who deliver
the service.
Include a
contact person with phone number and email address. Send your stories
to pat.wood@npr.gov or pat.smith@gsa.gov.
If you need more information, call Pat Wood, National Partnership
for Reinventing Government, (202) 694-0063. Please pass this request
along to others who may be interested.
