Senate signs off on C-TPAT pilot program legislation

According to a summary of the bill from The Library of Congress, “it requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to carry out a pilot program that assesses whether allowing certain entities to participate in the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) would enhance port security, combat terrorism, prevent supply chain security breaches, or otherwise meet the goals of the partnership. Such entities are non-asset-based third-party logistics providers that arrange international freight transportation and are licensed by the Department of Transportation.”

But that comes with the caveat that February’s record is not likely to be lasting, with March expected to record an even lower reading, it said, stating that some rate relief will not nearly offset a surge in diesel prices. source https://www.supplychain247.com/article/ftrs_shippers_conditions_index_falls_to_a_new_record_low_reading
