CBP Testing Fix for ABI Air In-Bond (QX/WX), but No Timeline due to M1
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued CSMS #11-000278 which states that they are still working to resolve a QX/WX Air In-Bond application issue uncovered in the production system. That application was deployed on August 8 but then was disabled when the problems was discovered. Development of the fix to resolve the issue is now complete and is being tested internally. CBP says it currently does not have a tentative timeline for deployment due to the on-going ACE M1 testing, but as soon as a reliable date is determined, the agency will send out a new CSMS announcing the date.

(The use of ABI Air In-Bond will be voluntary; it will allow for in-bond creation, deletion, arrival and export for import airway bills. CBP had announced an August 8, 2011 deployment for ABI Air In-Bond, but it was then disabled due to problems. This functionality had earlier been deployed for production in early 2009, but that deployment was halted due to output message problems. See ITT's Online Archives 11081112 for recent summary.)
