CTPAT Pilot Program Act of 2023
This bill creates a pilot program to test whether non-asset-based and asset-based third-party logistics providers can join the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) program. The pilot would allow up to 10 non-asset-based providers (who arrange international freight and are DOT-licensed) and up to 10 asset-based providers (who manage their own warehousing resources) to participate. The program must run for at least one year but no more than five years, after which the Secretary of Homeland Security must submit a report on findings to Congress. The bill also requires a separate report from the Comptroller General assessing CTPAT's overall effectiveness in preventing security incidents in the cargo supply chain. This legislation does not authorize additional funding for implementation.
