October 2024 — Question 5

____ must be set forth in or attached to an application for a new national permit to describe how responsible supervision and control will be exercised over the customs business conducted under the national permit.

Why this answer

The national permit application contents listed in the cited paragraph include a supervision plan describing how responsible supervision and control will be exercised over the customs business conducted under the permit, including compliance with the supervision standards elsewhere in the part. Supervision plan is the regulation's own term, making option A the verbatim answer. Control strategy tempts because the underlying standard is called responsible supervision and control, so the phrase sounds plausible, but it is not the document the regulation names; a status report is the separate triennial filing under a different section, and a regulation proposal has no place in a permit application at all. Watch for: Picking 'control strategy' for its echo of the standard instead of the regulation's named supervision plan.
