Or depending upon when you're watching this, maybe it's good morning or good evening, my name is Ann Smith and I'm here to introduce a friend of mine whom I've worked with for now for over nine years. Together we manage two non-profits in the main area but actually we're global because our non-profits are to benefit African refugees in New England and across the world. My friend today is Anthony Bazia and he and I co-founded two non-profits as I said, Project Bazia and Africans United. I'm going to briefly speak about, very briefly about Africans United, primarily Africans United started because we were concerned about literacy across the world with refugees who were learning English and finding the books were not interesting. So we've written about eight books now we have published through Amazon which help refugees read and learn English at different levels. These books are also used in rural schools in Africa where finding materials that are good for kids to learn English over there can be very difficult. They don't really know too much about the world that we live in so they want to read books about the people they know and the villages they know and that's what we've done. We've created books for that purpose. The second non-profit is based more locally and I would say it's definitely Mr. Bazia's brainchild. So Bazia why don't you tell everybody about Africans United of New England? African United is about to bring all African in the level of the sixth state in the England together but it's in the goal because a lot of time people think bring people together just because they are the same people but you have to be a purpose and one of the thing we're concerned about the education in the United States and the small business and how to understand the system of the United States and how to get the citizen in the United States to be willing and the process to be an American citizen. Okay so you reach out to people right now I believe you told me you're contacting many of the community organizations like the Barundians and the Rwandans and the Somalis who are here locally so that they can share accomplishments they've had as refugees and perhaps talk about common problems. That's correct. African United is going to be the bridge between the African different community in New England and then the government of United States it can be the level of the state how to make sure they can understand the system so that's how we reach out to all different communities Somalia, South Sudanese and North, Burundi and Rwanda, Zahir, Angola, some Chad and even when I'm talking about something very interesting anybody who have a small number of different of the continent of Africa if you don't have enough number feel good to be under African United we love you guys to be under us because you can see a lot because to be a community alone I think it's all about number. Today when I was in an office I met a woman who's been here for seven years and as far as she knows she and her family are the only people from Sierra Leone that live in the greater Portland area so I immediately told them about this organization because it's really important to connect with other people that have similar problems. Anthony Bazeir is well qualified to work with these people he arrived in the United States in 1990 and came back went back and forth between his homeland of what became South Sudan and the United States many times but he is also the son of a chief and that tribal chief in South Sudan which meant that he grew up in a home where serving other people was the primary goal. The dinner table conversation in Bazeir's house growing up was always about what are we doing to help the people of our tribe our village our area how do you solve problems and that's what he still does especially here because when he first came he was working with the Lost Boys down in Philadelphia. We could end up talking about what Mr. Bazeir did down in Philadelphia and in different parts of the United States with the refugees from South Sudan for probably an hour or more but what we are here for today is 2021 is a very special year so at this point I'm going to ask you to share with everybody why we're having this conversation. It's very important since South Sudan became a country in 2011 and we're coming up to the 10 year from South Sudan became a nation but I believe there was a lot of issue I don't want to go behind that right here. I'm here to tell the South Sudanese specific I know they are for 64 tribe we need to stop talking about the tribe we need to talk about we as South Sudanese what we can do for ourselves to make the country better it's enough since 1995 since 1955 since 1940 something all fighting you can't be living the life your grandpa was fighting your mom was fighting your generation generation the only true peace in to make people to unite in a common goal everybody fight for the South Sudan at a different level if you're on the RISP LA if you're under education under different country the goal all about to get dependent you guys already have the dependent now like 10 year but you guys never enjoying this dependent why the reason is because you watching the time hit each other killing each other but the nation never ever gonna be in the name of the tribe until you guys became national of South Sudanese child and this problem the problem of South Sudan on the 10th anniversary of its becoming an independent nation is not just the problem of South Sudan many countries in Africa have had these tribal conflicts some are still having them some are learning to cope with them so our for uh this particular conversation today is intended to give everybody who's listening um or watching whichever um an understanding of how South Sudan became a country independent from the original country Sudan and and from what I know in in writing some of the books we've written about about South Sudan uh South Sudan the country the country was the biggest country in Africa and very powerful but starting in at least officially in 1955 with a war called Anya one um the desire for the country to be divided the the contrast between the north and the south um became more and more obvious with more and more conflicts over the years and so my first question to you Mr. Bezier is how different is the north from the south of this rather huge country the one thing I will give a credit for the north they are more civilized more than South Sudanese ahead of the game and this is the reality since I grew up in north and I have to commit it these people that are more mobilized the only difference in Sudan and and this is going to be not only in the level of Sudan there's a three group who affected by all this issue our machine Darfurian people and Nubian people and South Sudanese the way Arab create the problem between us they never talk about us like we are black people but they use name and this is the problem in the first place even more than the issue of South Sudan so so let me let me interrupt you a minute here and I'm trying to think of this huge country which is about twice originally was at least twice the size of Texas okay because I know South Sudan is the size of Texas and they're about equal the territories all right so you have an area in the south that is predominantly black African people many different tribes but you are all black Africans and then if you go up to both the east and the west side of the upper part you have the Darfurians in the west and you have in the east you have the Nubians living in the mountains and they are also black African people but then you have a group of people in the capital in the middle in the north and spread out from there of Arabs who are also in terms of their culture and religion Muslims and you say they were more civilized they had more experience with government because they came from Egypt and from the north and so for many many years they controlled both of these groups that were all around you how did they treat you said they called them by a name I'm not concerned with that but how did the cartoon government treat the black Africans who were all around them how did they treat them differently from their own people when I say name because the cartoon government never used you guys all the black people who are supposed to see what we can do for you guys if I just say example Darfurian they are Muslim if I look at the Nubian there is a Christian and there is Muslim if I look at southern the old Christian so I have a few pagans yeah so those idea came from the north who are to make these three groups to be divided by different issues and that they can fight so we have to separate right but I'm saying even if in my choice if you were looking in the beginning before even southern became a nation we are black people in Sudan who need to create a system to solve the issue but now it's late but today because I cannot talk about that much today I'm talking about south Sudan Pacific they have 64 tribes and since they they got depended I don't feel like they enjoy the depender okay and and and the difference again my question is they controlled they the people of Khartoum who were primarily Arabs and as I said dominantly Muslims they controlled this whole huge country how did they treat without saying it how did they treat the areas that were that where the black people lived as a different from their own area yeah the reason they was living there they feel like the second citizen in Sudan does include Nubian include Darfurian include South Sudanese but to look at in the big picture there was a game behind it but even the true group they never understand it even no South Sudanese even not north of Nuba Darfurian they weren't they weren't as I think the word is sophisticated that's correct they didn't know enough about how the world operated these were people many tribes of which were living as they had and and and my audience isn't going to believe me it not for hundreds of years they had been living the way they're a thousand years ago their tribe had been living the same way raising cows moving from place to place not having any education not knowing anything other than the uh the unit of the tribe for government so they didn't know they were being taken advantage of and and I would like you to speak at this point what was the north getting out of this by keeping all these people ignorant of of their rights as people at the same time they give them a little of attention they are part of the system like job and all that but they don't have the full citizen I can give you example when the north's running the business if I say the north's people have a store of supermarket when the South Sudanese came or when a person come from Darfur or from the Nubian their price is different but the norths who were running the game they got different price but we never know about that until a lot of issue happened and this is the one other thing I keep saying the game of the people who mobilized our civilized of the north there was a head of the game but my concern I wish if the black people in the general that includes South Sudanese include the Nubian include the Darfur if we were just talking about let united only we are black it doesn't matter if you're Muslim you're Christian and I think we are each of the same but we never have a chance to come to that idea that's right and right now for me I'm not willing to get to back that but right now it's too late because since South Sudan left the north if I right or wrong South Sudanese they need the north and North Sudanese South Sudanese that's right now is a different game but South Sudanese even know when they left North Sudan the North say South Sudanese they cannot run them all live by themselves right that's telling me the north was right and and that and and I think one of the reasons they feel very comfortable saying that is that continuously since in the last 10 years there have been conflicts over and over and over again and and I guess the other thing I'm fishing for here is what was the north getting besides the power I mean there's enormous resources in South Sudan why don't you you know mention some of those to the okay there's a two research in in the north and the different in south South Sudanese have diming have a uranium have even oil so they have to keep that in the control I can tell the story when Shofron is one of the companies of the United States that was there when Ananya too that under second second revolution revolution under John Grant they killed some American in in the Shofron company who came from the United States how to dig the oil out so United States because they have value for the woman race they give up the contract the left Sudan and left because they cannot afford to let American die in the soul of the north Sudan so that's for me show me something nobody even in that time look at it in a value but American this is what the woman race in American have value so what I'm gonna go back to to my people right now it's hard for me to repeat what is past I'm just gonna tell anybody who watching this interview ask yourself if your grandpa born in the issue and you born in the issue do you think it's fair to be killing each other all the time until we finish I don't think so I gotta give you two country example we have Burundian used to fight among themselves that's Hutus and Tutus after all this killing what happened Burundian today our Rwandian today have a nice country and they give up even right now in Rwanda if you ask somebody about some tribe you can get arrested because the land was a hard way so I want my South Sudanese people to give up hatreds among themselves if your cousin died your mom your sister nobody gonna bring him back in the way you're thinking it's only if we want to remind those people who died in the name of South Sudan let's do the right thing for myself your as we think about the CPA 10 years after the CPA the comprehensive peace agreement which was basically started by Tony Blair and the second president Bush correct the two of them got together and decided that this was ridiculous this country just kept trying to emerge as a nation the southern part of South the southern part of Sudan the South Sudanese but they would just keep going on and on and the incidents with Chevron I think you're right that's what brought it to their attention as much as anything else here was a world resource going to waste in the middle of a war and they pushed the north to discuss an agreement and then there was a vote all the people of South Sudan were asked to vote at a certain time after several years of preparation right with the CPA they were asked to vote did they want to be part of the north or did they want to be a separate country and the vote was tell us 99 no the other way we're 99% 99% wanted to separate to separate and one other thing I will have a chance to match in this book here this will talk about it it was about Tony Blair and young bush who bring the peace of South Sudan I want to repeat this I know there's people until today they claim South Sudan came with the gun the truth is about the international community agree and especially I gotta mention something very important because South Sudan is one of the people fighting in the long term was Arab and that the only people say Arab was not helping them the way they wanted until 9 11 happened in United States and and and American and British except what South Sudan fights for so I'm repeat myself to anybody he he claimed South Sudan just came by gun I know they fight to bring the right but in the end of the day bush and Tony Blair in the last minute there was a part of the people to make this agreement of CPA and then the South Sudanese people vote to be a nation so that's for me it's like 100 I can just say 100 there is no country in the world vote for that number you're right let me honest and these were these people were not just the people who were still left in South Sudan this was well over a million people worldwide who had fled from the wars who didn't want to be there anymore but they were contacted they were said come and vote on this day and decide and they decided they wanted to be a separate country and and you told me that you were there when the votes were counted you were in South Sudan uh tell tell uh our audience what was the crowd like you said they were crazy yeah the crowd was hopping us it's like somebody have a heavy thing in his head and he'll release it down when South Sudan voting to have South Sudan dependent but today we're in 10 year and this 10 year if I say if I'm right or wrong maybe the the people who watch in this program they can correct me maybe since we have South Sudan currently maybe we celebrate maybe twice yeah maybe that's mean eight years we never celebrate July 9 so make me my heart is broke make me useless in a way I look at it because I'm part of it even I know I'm American citizen but before I became American citizen I can call myself I was Sudan was this South Sudan divide became South Sudan but it still is bothering me of course so this message we hear was honest me I want you guys to know we are not just here to talk about what is happening we're here to talk about forgiveness and let the nation come together if one or South Sudan to go there's nobody above the law let's create the system who you can be fair for all of us like America like Canada how come if we have just in United States 100 South Sudanese and I will debate any South Sudanese who live in America I don't want to talk about Canada you mean 100,000 100,000 you live in America you play by the book but why you cannot play by the book in South Sudan and if America was doing bad for us I don't think we're going to be here thank you that's okay I think what we want to continue in this conversation and we have we have a lot of things we'd like to develop is independent topics and I want to list a few of them here because Bessie and I have been talking about this we actually had planned with the to have a celebration on July 11th because the 9th was a weekday we found a place and we were going to have a celebration but we did one of those what was it two years ago before COVID and nobody came nobody came it was just to celebrate the accomplishments of the newest nation on our planet and so we decided instead to make this TV program hopefully to see if maybe a year from now after talking about what's going on in the South Sudanese community and what might be preventing South Sudanese from celebrating the CPA and its independence that there might be a real physical celebration someplace and I have my own theories one of them is that when we wrote this book we compared South Sudan to the United States as a in other words a country that had had a revolution and got its independence from a stronger power but you know I went back and I did some research not too long ago and I discovered that the first 10 years of the United States independence were not a piece of cake there were a lot of problems and there are reasons why the South Sudanese struggle with building a strong stable government many of the problems they have have nothing to do with the people themselves but just circumstances so we would like to return and have another interview fairly soon in which we talk about basically tribalism which you've also introduced as always also introduced as a problem one big thing that separates two groups of people in South Sudan is the farmers from the nomads and how the could they solve the problem of people who don't have any fixed location for a good part of the year and then the third thing is talk about the leadership and the dream of the man who made the CPA possible John Garang now we haven't gotten to that today but John Garang unfortunately died even before the vote that's correct and I think it behooves us to acquaint our audience whether it's you're an American or whether you're South Sudanese or whether you're from another part of Africa or another part of the world we want the world to know what happened to John Garang and why his death had such a strong effect on the future of South Sudan imagine for a minute and this is just a proposal for a topic for another show imagine for a minute what would have happened in the United States if George Washington had not been able to be the first president what if the ball was just thrown into the court and the power struggle began immediately instead of having the man who had been at the helm for the entire revolutionary war who was obviously a very steady stable individual thank you for listening to what we have to say I hope we haven't been too confusing but you can contact us all you have to do is go to the Project Bessia website and we will be more than happy to respond to any questions you have if you email us or call either of us on the phone thank you


Well, it's all about about time and craft Making good cheese it takes a lot of time just like making good wine. You have to let it age. You have to tend to it. I Think that's the big difference the love we bring to the product All my products are available at long table. I think they're selling really good Amy's marketing everything local and She's actually the first retailer I've ever had. I I Decided to start long table originally with my sister and we grew up on a ranch We grew up on a farm in the area. We love our community We love our hometown and we really wanted to invest in the local food system invest in The economy of our area and support building jobs support local food Florian and I have an interesting History as friends. We met him when we hosted him and his partner Adeline He had a job here and they were looking for a place to stay and so they stay with us for a few weeks And we really got to know them and then as we got to know them We realized that he has a cheese making background and I was working in local food and local business development And I really just didn't stop bothering him about it until he started a cheese making business So I started this business a year and a half ago, but I've been making cheese since I was a little kid I learned with my grandfather who was a dairy farmer himself And then I did that as a summer job for for a few years up in the mountain pastures in the French Alps The cheese factory is set up about a kilometer away from the from the dairy farm I have a very close relationship with these guys. We were on the same page. I'm really proud to use their milk We we have a really good working relationship. I love to support him We purchase as much as we can we use all of his products in our catering trays. We use it in our cafe We use it in the food we produce for our cafe We sell it for the grocery store and it's a really good working relationship. I'm happy to do business with them I'm really happy to be working with Amy. She's she's doing a tremendous job at Supporting and promoting the local products


So, welcome to the session for the beta pilots. I hope some of the opportunity to read on our web page about the filing or have heard me presents before. The purpose of this session is to provide. That second overview to the filing and the beta pilot and to go through some of the benefits of participating as well as allow opportunity for you, the audience to ask questions and hopefully by the end, we will convince you to participate with us. I'm going to forward so 1st, welcome again. This is the 1st of 2 point questions they'll have for this session. Simply this question, please provide your name and the company you are representing. This is for our purposes to see who's in attendance today. This will not be shared with others. So, Justin, go ahead. What was that? Yeah, so I'll give it a few moments or all of you to respond to that. Today's agenda and I'll provide an overview of the filing. Discuss the certificate data elements and then the PGA message set option. Then I'll go into industry benefits. There's a total of 6 and then the role of importer and how you as an importer can get involved. Then I'll address some of the most recent development and some of the components of the product registry. As you can see in the sample list, and then I'll open it to discussion and for any of your questions. So, what is e filing? It is our newest initiative at CPC that modernizes how certificate data is processed. By enabling importers of regular consumer products like you to electronically file certain data elements for my search, big compliance via the partner government agency message set. So, this many of you already familiar with the entry process. This is like an indendum and we are requesting specific certificate data that is already found on the certificate and as an importer of a regulated consumer product. Including children's products and other general use products you already required. Since 2008 to have certificate and. Dr testing on your product. This is simply transitioning from paper or PDF to an electronic. So, why are we doing this from CPC perspective? We only. We are unable to use the certificate data as currently as it currently stands for our risk assessment and targeting. We only really review the certificates once we identify. So, I lost this. Have to reshare my PowerPoint all right. So, let me start over about why we're doing e filing. As I said. We only review this once we identify shipment for an exam place that should be on hold. And that at that point, our investigators at the board. We'll examine the documents and request the certificate and because the data for the certificate comes in usually as a PDF or a format. We do not have the opportunity for risk assessment and targeting because. That information is not any format that we can use for our risk assessment methodology. So, by asking importers to. File the certificate data electronically it provides us more substance to use in our risk assessments. Have previously done studies and we have found certain elements on the certificate as well as the lack of certificate. At the time of import does result in higher risk. So, we want to incorporate those data points into. I risk assessment to be able to more actively to target shipments of standard hazards. I'll later go on into the benefits of why you should participate in the filing. On the right, you see the timeline we currently are. In between fall 2022 and spring 2023, we are currently doing development with importer input. We do have a select working group of 9 importers who are participating with us. I will address that on a later slide. Relatively soon we'll finalize the tear and that will be made available for brokers and software developers to begin their development including. Starting this summer 2023 will conduct training and. Some early testing in the fall 2023, we will begin the beta pilot, which will run for 6 months. And then by year and 2024, we hope to finalize or will make me so this. So, this is to say that we plan to make a permanent. So, filers or importers of regulations and products will be required to provide the certificate elements. At the time of import during the time of the beta pilot as a volunteer. Won't necessarily have to provide the certificate data for every product you bring in, but we will encourage you to build up to that capacity. Given that we are choosing and make this a requirement. This by participating that's 1 of the benefits is that you have more time. To transition to that electronic filing, if you wait towards the end of 2024. Until the road making is finalized or be shorter. A phase in period and there. And you would have a steeper learning curve at that moment. So, if you participate with us now, that's my 1st kind of that I'm offering. Is that you have much more time to transition and if you run into any. You would be able to work with us to resolve that. The way till 1 rule making is finalized. We will begin flagging more and submitting same mornings to importers who fail to provide complete. Certificate data and that may result in a higher risk score. Or your shipment so even advantageous participate now, because some more data you provide in advance. To lower risk score. So, these are the certificate data elements that we are. Testing filing and it's very similar to. Data that you already find on certificates, I'll go through this briefly. First is the ID of the finished product. The 2nd is each consumer product safety rule to which the finished product has been certified. 3rd is a date when the product was manufactured. 4th is place of manufacturing where the finished product was produced, manufactured, produced, or assembled. 5th is the date of. Lab testing 6 is the part and testing certificate depends, which is the laboratory. And last is a check box indicating that a report certificate currently exists for the finished product. And as part of the filing, we'll have 2 options. I will. The 1st option, probably the preferred option is to use our product registry, which is a database that we are creating and will maintain. This is solely on CPSC's and so the importer will file the certificate data and the registry and then. Reference a product registry ID with their entry documents, which would be submitted in 8th and then all that data will be sent to the risk system methodology that CPSC operates. By doing it this way, if you consistently bring the same product over and over again, you only have to file the certificate data once. And then only reference that certificate while submitting it into a, so we're talking about. Only a couple of lines of data in the, of pg line data in the message that the 2nd option is to file all the certificate data at the time of entry. Which, as I mentioned, is 7 data points, but that data elements, but that would include. On many more data points because there is some like self data points per each element. Every single time for each and via ace. So, if you do bring a repeated product, you will just have to recent, recent the data. Right, so these are the benefits that we are offering as a participant in the filing in the data pilot. Specific 1st, we'll be testing a shorter review clock. So the data pilot participants will. Benefit be shorter to a message and I believe many of you already receive. 1 us notification from CPSC where you shouldn't be under review the maximum of time as it currently stands is. 16 business hours in the environment or 8 business hours in an air and truck environment. From the time that entry is filed and that is if you file on or excuse me. The time of actual arrival of entries filed on the 3 business days, there are ways to make it shorter. However, this. You shorter review clock could be advantageous. Because it wouldn't we are not at this point when we when we test this, we will be looking at 1 at what point you. File the entry documents, whether it's more or less than 3 days. We would just have a blanket review clock where it is. 8 business hours after entries filed in the ocean environment or 4 business hours in the air and truck environment. So this means if you file well in advance. The review period will end well in advance of your shipping rival. If you. Are delayed and you provide the entry documents right before arrival. The clock will begin at the time of the entry. After at the time entry is filed, not the date of actual arrival. So, at that point, the clock will still process. In 48 business hours and won't be delayed depending on when by the entry documents. Secondly, we would data participant basically reduction in their risk score over time. And that's based on the amount of data provided as well as. Providing by and data so that's an advantage of participating earlier with us because. The data you provide during the data pilot will be incorporated into your scores. By waiting until the final rule that just means less months of data that could have been provided. The reduction in risk scores may result in reduced whole times and fewer exams, which may reduce cost to the importer. Third, we promise that there will be no disruption to operations during the pilot. We will continue our normal business operations at the port, but there will be no extra scrutiny or holds during the pilot. We won't be holding your shipments to check for the certificate specifically if you participate in the pilot. Instead, we'll probably do some post-audits after the pilot begins and if your shipment is held and an exam is requested and this is again, based on normal operations that our investigators are conducting, conducting as of today. Those holds and exams would be prioritized. For this, the beta pilot will increase our focus on higher shipments and which may result in fewer holds to check for certificates that we'll have a greater focus in higher risk products. We'll hold to be more likely to perform for substantial violations rather than for certificates as the certificate data would provide at the time of entry, but we would have time to review the data before making that decision. So again, fewer holds may result in reduced cost to the importer. As a participant in the beta pilot, CPSC staff would be readily available to answer any of your product regulatory questions. These are in addition to questions related to filing, these are specifically related to certain regulations to your products that you are importing. And lastly, you have the opportunity to provide feedback, which would be more rulemaking before the full implementation of filing. So, for the role of the importer for the success of filing, we really need your support and participation. Ultimately, the importer, you are the main participant in the beta pilot because you have the oversight of the data. And you would be responsible for filing with the assistance of your broker. So, as an importer, first, we need to identify a broker partner. If you work with most brokers, we encourage asking all of them, but you can just work with 1. This only applies, of course, if you're not a self-filer and then you would continue to work with your broker partner and identify CPSC regulated products that will be included in the beta pilot. Again, these are all products regulated by CPSC that require a certificate. If you go to our web page, you will be able to find that information. And prior to the pilot, we will disseminate a list of HTS codes that we would be flagging as part of the pilots to assist you to find those regulated products. Again, if you want to start with a subset of products that you have certificate data readily available and then build up to your whole portfolio, that would be possible as well, but we do encourage that you work as hard as possible to get to that point where you're providing certificate data for all of your regulated products. And lastly, you would be responsible to manage certificate data in an electronic format that can be transmitted in the full message set or the product registry broker's report. The product registry will be built in such a way that allows for data to be uploaded in a batch or via an UPI as well. As certificates being submitted in your face, and I'll touch on that later. So, again, if you were willing to participate, please notify us, reach out to us or email the final slide. Again, identify broker applicable and. Step 3 is to complete the beta pilot onboarding and system training, which will begin this summer. Or it's to be applicable if you choose user product registries to enter the certificate data. It will be the file, the pg message set, and then 6 steps to provide us with periodic feedback throughout the beta pilot. We will use surveys during the beta pilot to get your feedback. But of course, we'll be open to any of your feedback via email or phone call. I do want to address if you are a broker on this call. You do have to find an importer to participate with because the importer is the 1 who is responsible for the data itself. The broker is not responsible for the certificate data, so you do have to have a partner. So, obviously these steps are different, but please reach out to clients who would be interested in the beta pilot. Imported regulated consumer products. And if you have other questions, please ask. This is James just just to educate me a little bit. I'm I'm I'm the deputy at exit within exit. So, so help me understand. So, right now, in terms of. Your importers that have volunteer for the beta project is there a cap. That you're looking for and how many do you have right now that are participating? Our goal is to find 30 to 50 importers. We're reaching that goal. We are. Approximately 22, so we still have money available for importers. Okay, that sounds good and I guess my 2nd question is. So, by the end of I guess, it's the May timeframe that you're targeting with is it PGA messaging? Can you can you talk a little bit around that? Is that is that a collaboration mechanism with CVP? Yes, we're working very closely with CVP to build the message that. I've already had most meetings with them and it'll be shortly beginning. Development cycle, and then that should conclude by the early summer at that point, we'll begin testing with actually the working group of 9 purchase 9 importers that you see on this slide. So, let me continue on and James, if any other questions, please pull them to the end. That sounds good. Thank you. Yeah, so. As I mentioned previously, we have a working group of 9 importers who are actually who we are actually consulting with as part of the development. And they're being supported by their broker and industry partners. So, they are excuse me, I'm hosting bi-weekly with that bi-weekly meetings with them and they're providing iterate feedback and development of product registry. Including addressing the system requirements functionality process flows and data elements cover a few of those process flows on the later slides. They would be the first to test integration of the registry to their internal systems, which will serve as a blueprint for the remaining participants. So these bi-weekly meetings are posted on CPSC's calendar and are open to the public as well for you to listen in. So, this working group, we have covered many topics that was highlighted in 3. So, we already covered a majority of them. Initially, we covered business account creation and management, which includes adding additional administrators and creating and managing collections. We are using the term collection as essentially the sub registry. This is where you will have the collection is where you would store the certificates and we'll provide the option where you have multiple collections in your account. Additionally, we have already addressed how you would add and edit products to your collections, manage products, bulk, import, export and editing. We also have discussed the user permissions and management, creating and managing user accounts, for example, especially for third parties. So, as an importer, you would be the business account holder. Because you are the one, this is your data that you need to manage. However, you can provide permissions to other third parties, like your brokers or labs, to have access to your collections. And they will be able to provide data for you. Of course, at the end, you would still be responsible to certify. That's where the creation management user accounts and the managing collection users will come in. And that is, and that's related to why we would be able to create multiple collections, be able to organize elections based on what third parties are assisting me in providing data. So, this first screenshot is essentially how your account would look, your business account would look in the product registry of the company information at the top. This second box, where is this company account admin? That is for the business account holders and those should solely be the importers. So, the company, for example, here is called storm importers. So, you can add multiple account admins and then just the roles. As you see fit, but again, these are just of the importer later show how you the flow where you get at third party users to your flow. And at the bottom, that's where your collections will be listed. And if you were to select this purple bottom, purple button in the bottom, right? That's when you can add a collection where you can add your certificate of data. So, this is the user interface on how to add products and collection. This is only one way to add the products. There would be also option for batch uploads or using the API. But if you just want to add 1 certificate, you have a code like this where you provide the product details, including the ID and you can provide additional ID as well. You'll be required to provide 1 of these. You also provide the product description at the top. You can see you have a testing and attestation tab. So, as you go through it, you will. Add your manufacturer information, testing information and then attest to it at the end and we build it in such a way that it's user friendly as possible with drop downs. Our pop up windows when you have to select the certificates, sorry, the citations, for example, if you use a CPC, sorry, if you're providing CPC, you would. You need to provide the name of the credit laboratory. I would, since we already managed that data, it would just be an ID field that you would enter. You don't have to provide the full information and. The business accounts in each business account you have, we will essentially save the manufacturer some lab that you have provided previously and so you can reference past many factors or labs that you have to repeatedly provide that information. So, editing products in a collection, this is how. How the screen will look you have each row will be different certificate, it was a different product of this drop down where you can see product details, manufacture details, testing details. I mean, this still is a little bit subject to change, but this is a concept right here and it. Where again, this product collection, if you wanted to add. User to be able to provide to upload data such. Maybe this user could be a broker in the upper right, you see another button, so invite a user. And then you'll get this pop up where you have an email and then you can select the role in this case, an editor, but you could also have. Well, is that is that limited to just like a read or just providing the data, but not being able to add it. And then this point open it to discussion if you have any questions, please raise your hand. I'm just in here. Well, also be. Review, or sorry, the chat box and reading off any questions that may type in, but I do encourage anyone who has questions to speak up. Please raise your hand and Justin will call on you. And then there's a second poll that asks about your interest in purchase of painting. If you're willing to answer it, please do. And then we'll reach out to you in the future. But if you are. Need more time, you could. Do this go to our website, cpc.gov or email us at e-piling pilot at cpc.gov. I'm going to go back to the previous slide. Justin, you can start the poll and then we can open the board for questions. Just so you can read off. Sure question. So the 1st question we have in the chat is, can you touch on the numbers being provided to the test participants? Yes, so in advance and I hope. Soon, when we publish the Kater, we provide the codes. Most of these codes are codes that we currently actually target off of. And these codes would include any product that requires a certificate. If you are curious, you can go to our website as of now and browse there and find the product. List that all products require a certificate. There are some pages in the small business, and what page. Where you can find that information, so we have another question. The next question is, will there be a requirement to transmit any. Certificate information on which the final cpc slash is based on. That's a very question. So we are focused on the final product. And so, if you are using component part certificates to create that final certificate, you would provide that information. In the product registry as well in the message, the full message site of the opportunity to provide multiple. Or at least multiple labs and the citations for each class to save the product. They have you created from multiple, you have multiple certificates. You could provide all of that if. And if you take the other approach and just do a final test on that product. And have a final test report, you could just create a certificate off of that final test report. So, just to kind of quickly summarize, yes, multiple options. Excuse me, you have multiple options to provide that lab information. Next question is, if I have 1 product with multiple manufacturing dates in 1 shipment. Will the filing allow me to enter a range of dates or do I need to do a separate filing for each manufacturer date? That question seems very nuanced and don't quite think I could answer it directly in most scenarios. You should have 1 certificate or product where that where we would. I think the position that if it's, it's a product manufactured on that date or in that run. So, if you're referring to products every, you know, are manufactured over a run over a series of days. Yes, that all would be considered as on that could all be placed on 1 certificate. That's how it currently stands. And in that scenario, you just, well, we only are really requesting the month and year of manufacturing. So, in that case, just have to provide a month and year. We do would have the option where you could provide like the lot number 2. Again, that's an option that's more for your purposes to keep track of. But if this is a question more about like batch manufacturing and repeated manufacturing, that's something we will address as part of the data pilot and answer at what point. Would you be required to submit a new certificate for that product? And to what extent can you include multiple batch runs over a series of weeks on 1 certificate? The next question is currently CPC hold. Sorry. Currently, the CPC holds do not prevent entry shipments from moving to the final. On signee, yeah, well, the new process be a stop such as current FDA reviews. You have LPA holds, etc. I know. So. To the 1st part of that question, that is absolutely true the under review message does not it's not a whole issue into your shipment. Can't go off off premise to the consignee just can't enter commerce until the review message. For the clock runs out, that's why we're testing to show a new period. So. You could take those products and your commerce is earlier than under the current. A review period and we will not be. What you suggest about FDA, we're not going to take that approach. We're not changing anything in our enforcement health certificates. We are currently, we will continue doing everything the same as we currently are. Next question is, can CPC define what products they classify as high risk? That's a challenging question to answer because we don't. So, we're looking at more so a substantive violations. And so we're looking at stuff like ladder valid. We're looking at playing mobility. We have a lot of regulations surrounding children's products. And so, like. We're not particularly looking at. Like specific products per se, we're looking at like. Products that may have certain violations are more likely to certain violations and I can't really tell you that top of my head. And as part of our risk assessment, we also look at. Like, where the product, where this comes from country in origin, each TS code. And I can't really answer for them that I just don't have that answer. I'm still here if you want to ask any more questions, we're still building them. We have to end of the hour, but here is our information or contact information. I will make this hour and this recording available online as soon as possible. So, you can review it and share with others. Again, I want to encourage your participation. We hope that you see this as an advantage to you as well. I go back and look at the benefits that we are offering. And ultimately, we will be making this into turning this into a final goal, but we want to work with you now. We're able to iron out all the things and work with you. So. You don't reach a point where you very quickly have to meet this requirement. We sell plenty of time. We reached that point. So please work with us now. And provide feedback to make this defiling as seamless as possible for all in quarters. Okay, I have another question. Yep. Next question is, can you clarify how all clothes will work? Yeah, so that would be using a file. We'll give you a template and just. We're using versus some transition that data into a CSP. Um, and there would be a field on the product registry where you. Up below that file, and then you will have an opportunity to review. There also be check and built in. So the system would automatically check and you have the correct data and the correct format and. Flag any certificates that have errors, and then you have the opportunity to correct those before you finally. Actually, like import that data into the product registry. Next question is, if we, if we file you filing, will we have to include the CPC with the shipment? That's a very good question. We are currently reviewing the regulations for 11 and 10.  Citation that we will be updating as part of the rulemaking at this moment, I can't really can't answer you directly. And so, but hopefully in the future, near future, once we start to work on the rule that. Can't you that answer next question is, are you able to are you able to share details on fees or fee ranges for 3rd party certifications and the time it takes to get 1 issue? I do not have that information. Notice anyone CPC, we don't deal with any. These information and so the question is related to accreditation. Laboratories is that what? Sorry, Justin, is that some questions about accreditation? So, the 3rd party certification certificate. Okay. So, yeah, we do have the requirement for 3rd party testing. You could go to our website and find information there. We also have a search function where you could search for laboratories. In your country or where they're manufactured that are accredited. For children's products where you can conduct the testing and at that point, you could do your own outreach to them about costs and fees. If it's a general use product, it does not necessarily have to be an accredited laboratory. You can do testing in house even as well. Next question, next question. So, to clarify, there are 3 options for transmission 1 of 1st, single product to. Book upload 3 transfer of information. Yeah, that's for providing information, the product registry. That's exactly right 3 options right there. Next question is, when do you anticipate being able to provide the and not just product description? I hope so, we can next month, when we finalize, if it's air and publish that. Uh, then I would hope to also publish the list. And so, we're still. And if it's not the full list, it would be at least a preliminary lesson to work off with and then we may provide it update later. Next question, will brokers be able to have multiple importers under their account? Okay, so actually the product registry will work in the reverse. So, the accounts are based on the importer and they're able to invite brokers to assist them in uploading the data into the registry as a broker. You're able to work multiple importers. So this, you did not see this, we haven't yet created this. But as a broker, once you get access to the registry through 1 importer, and then you gain access to others, you will have your own essentially your own interface, your own account information. So, you essentially your own screen that would show you to which product collections you have access to and that that's the approach we're taking is of course, the certificate data is owned by the importer. So, as a broker, you would see, like, I'm working with this importer a for these collections, I can submit data and then I see broker importer be and I'm able to provide data and then so on. So, as a broker, Arthur will be able to see all of the accounts that we are doing work for under 1, say, login, for example, we won't have to have like separate logins or go in and out in order to access information for different importers. Yeah, so you just have 1 log in exactly as you said, and you'll be able to see with which importer is you're working with. Great, thank you. Next question is, if there are errors in data transmission, we'll see PSE notify importers. Yes, we will test the morning flags during the pilot. And so we would so, of course, if you provide the data, you would receive a warning and then we'll we'll figure out at what point, like. What are the business roles as well? And. For example, if there's formatting issues, or if there's or just like compare data fields and they don't match, we will inform you about those issues so you could correct that when filing and we will also. Publish this business roles in advance is CPSC working with other PGA's not just CBP. For example, if the product is a non medical device subject to FDA and CPS. We're not working with other agencies that extend only primarily working with CBP, but I wrote that other J message sets to get ideas to create filing. I am like a scenario like that. I mean, we wouldn't be sharing the data you provide with FDA if that is your question in the end, but it would end up being your responsibility as the importer broker to know for which agencies you file a message. And then just a little bit of added information because I'm not sure where the question is coming from, but each PGA is a separate standalone message. Yes, and given the CPSC product jurisdictions, there is very little overlap, I would say between other products and FDA, but I don't think you're going to perceive many scenarios where you have to submit 1 or 2 PGA message sets more than 2 PGA message sets. Is there currently a cut hair covering CPSC data elements? Not yet. That's the thing I want to finalize as soon as possible. And I hope by the end of this month that we made available on CBP's website, the working group of 9 has already reviewed it, provided comments. And so I'm just incorporating those comments. Many of them are just clarifications and small edits. And once that is complete, I'll ask CBP to publish it on their website and also include it on CPSC's website. Are there any intent to have another session like this? Maybe as we get a little bit closer and the cut hair has been finalized and people have had a chance to review it? Possibly. Hey, I mean, I'll be open to having another session like this, but I haven't planned anything yet. But we are to that point, I'm really encouraging anyone on this call. To like ask your participation, because we are we are really trying to finalize the numbers and the number of participants because. Relatively soon, we'll begin the training and provide guidance materials. So. At a certain point, we do have to cut off, but that's not that won't be until a couple months from now. So, my hope is after this session that you could talk internally with your team. I consider the material provided today and we'll monitor what page and get back to us as soon as possible. With a willingness to purchase a page. Hey, well, we have a question. This question is, is there a limit of entries required per month? For example, to be considered. No, we'll take anybody we actually want to get a pretty broad that of importers and brokers. So, we're looking at in personal sizes. Importers that they're from those of transportation of certain products. Because we see that each of you have a situation. Different means of maintaining your certificate data. So we truly want to get our numbers to even pass 30 if you want to. It has all these scenarios and many of them is still, they're still unknown for us. But the larger group we have, I feel there's a pure risk of running into issues during the beta pilot. Well, at this moment, I'm going to stop the recording and I. Finish before the hour, and so I want to thank you all for listening to me speak and. I hope I can visit you to purchase the date with us. So thank you once again, and I hope to hear from you soon.


That's a time where she needs to be cared for, protected, taken care of. But over a period of time, somebody makes this a discriminatory process. We are born from that, if that is impure, our very birth is impure and the creation is impure. Now this, you made a very sweeping statement, a prejudice from the spiritual dimension. I want you to understand spiritually, there is no mention of menstrual cycles anywhere because spiritually you cannot have menstrual cycles. Only physiologically you can have, okay? So it's a physiological issue which reflects as a psychological factor in a certain segment of woman, I wouldn't say everyone, but quite a substantial segment of woman, find a reflection of their physiological process in their psychological makeup, which is a fact that has to be taken care of. If this is being said only because some temples and other things have said women cannot enter at that time, you need to understand this from where this comes from. Today's woman, you forget about her, okay? How she's equipped, what is, how she's capable of handling her bodily needs and other things are a different matter. I want you to look back a thousand years ago. What kind of sanitary facilities did she have? What kind of processes did she have? So there could be issues about that, isn't it? It's only for that reason, they said and above all, you need to understand the level of physical activity for a normal woman in those days. Cooking for fifteen, twenty people, taking care of the cows, taking care of the children, everything is hers. It's a tremendous amount of physical activity. So the woman who is going through a certain process of her cycle, she gets three days, four days break from everything. Isn't that a wonderful thing? Because that's a time where it is almost like a mounting period for a woman on one level. It's not as big as mounting, but it's almost like that. That's a time where she needs to be cared for, protected, taken care of. Somebody else cooks for you, which never happens in her life. Every day she cooks, for those four, three, four days somebody else cooks for her, somebody else serves her food. She sits alone by herself, she merits, she sings, she does prayer. Isn't this a good way of doing things I'm asking? Do not consider this as today's life. Look back a thousand years ago when these things were made. It was a very good way of protecting a woman. But over a period of time, somebody makes this a discriminatory process. A woman should not come here, should not come there. That is just out of ignorance, certain things happen. It has nothing to do with the spiritual world because if my mother did not have menstrual cycles, I wouldn't be born. Okay? Yes or no? We are born from that. If that is impure, our very birth is impure and the creation is impure.  It is not because of purity and impurity this has come. It has come for practical reasons. Even today I meet thousands of women who suffer a lot at that time because they still have to go to work, they still have to deal with everything. There are many of them who are on medication at that time just to keep their psychological balance. They would definitely enjoy rest. They would definitely enjoy a little bit of seclusion from everything that they are doing. But thinking it is pure impure question is coming in a very rudimentary mind. It is no sense in… no fundamental sense about life.


mental illness but we already know about that let's do a better job but if they won't do that well all we have left is those millions who aren't voting we got to get them all out next election and we've got to vote them out of there so that we can save our children because I'm sick and tired of 50 and 60 and 70 white men screwing up all of our lives and really care about nothing else but their position no it's true so that means that it's gonna take a unique American determination to change it it means that all of us are called to summon the sadness and the frustration in the anger in the outrage that we have in our hearts for those little children who died and you've all the and so many others who have died by gun violence to channel that into democratic action to make a difference that the governor has done nothing about that in fact after the massacre in El Faso where more than 20 people were killed and more than 20 injured governor Abbott said he was going to make it harder for these kinds of massacres to happen again and said he made it easier for dangerous people to get dangerous weapons in their hands and listen I'll tell you what the Congress is going to do in the House of Representatives when we go back this week we're gonna pass red flag laws into which we have placed them describe this as evil and leave it at that it's incredibly dangerous I mean it's hard for me to argue that that's not evil but if we leave it at that evil is supernatural it's out of my control it's a matter for God or the devil I have no agency in the matter these deaths were not caused by God they're not a natural disaster they are not the weather passing through over our communities these are the choices that each and every single one of us have made and far too often that choice has been inaction this is just the price I pay we may tell ourselves for living in the state of Texas for being an American citizen but this does not happen on any other country on the face of the planet it's unique to this country and it's worse more than almost anywhere else right here in the state of Texas so if this tragedy these massacres these gun violent deaths are the result of inaction then the answer from each one of us has to be action the things that we are willing to do in our lives
