    The applicant tentatively selected to operate a CES must sign a 
written

agreement with Customs before commencing operations. Failure to execute 
a written agreement with Customs in a timely manner will result in the 
revocation of that applicant's tentative selection and may result in 
tentative selection of another applicant or republication of the notice 
soliciting applications. In addition to the provisions described 
elsewhere in this part, the agreement will specify the duration of the 
authority to operate the CES. That duration will be not less than three 
years nor more than six years. Such agreements cannot be transferred, 
sold, inherited, or conveyed in any manner. At the expiration of the 
agreement, an operator wishing to reapply may do so pursuant to this 
part and his application will be considered de novo.
