Advice from the Committee can influence staffing decisions at field locations, help to shorten inspection time-frames, and improve the flow of legitimate trade and people through more than 300 ports of entry. 78d4c946-cfc5-4b4f-b238-3d1061ea24f8 This Advisory Committee provides a forum for representatives of the travel and trade community to be actively involved with CBP concerning operational and financial issues that can affect them. The feedback provided by the Advisory Committee helps CBP to align resources and respond to the needs of the travel and trade communities. CBP benefits from receiving feedback about proper personnel levels and projected work volume increases. By virtue of the discussions and planning associated with this Advisory Committee, CBP is also better able to ensure the seamless flow of legitimate trade and travel into and out of the United States. Given the size, complexity and scope of the CBP mission, and the large size of the private sector staff and facilities, the professional advice, experience, expertise, and technical assistance that the Advisory Committee and its advisory organization provide are critical to the overall mission of CBP. e03f8581-f210-404a-9dfb-f65a80c555e3 The Committee serves to focus attention on those areas of most concern and benefit to both the travel industry and the federal government.
