    (a) Weekly permit. The port director may allow the person making 
entry for merchandise provided for in Sec. 146.63(c) to file an 
application for a weekly permit to enter and release merchandise during 
a calendar week for exportation, transportation, or transportation and 
exportation. The application will be on Customs Form 7512 stating at the 
top the words ``Application for Weekly Zone Permit,'' and will be filed 
with the port director. The application must be accompanied by a pro 
forma invoice or schedule like that required in Sec. 146.63(c)(1). If 
actual transfers will exceed the estimate for the week, the person with 
the right to make entry shall file a supplemental Customs Form 7512 to 
cover the additional merchandise to be transferred from the subzone or 
zone site. No merchandise covered by the weekly permit may be 
transferred from the zone before approval of the application by the port 
director.

weekly permit by the port director, the person making entry will be 
authorized to execute individual Customs Forms 7512 for exportation, 
transportation, or transportation and exportation of the merchandise 
covered by permit. Upon transfer of the merchandise, the operator shall 
obtain a receipt from the carrier on Customs Form 7512 to ensure its 
assumption of liability under the carrier's or cartman's bond. Customs 
will consider the time of entry to be when the removing carrier signs 
the receipt for the merchandise. The operator shall give the bonded 
carrier a copy of the individual Customs Form 7512 and the destination 
copy (Customs Form 7512-C), as provided for in Sec. 18.2(c) of this 
chapter. The operator also shall ensure that the port director receives

C) by the end of the next working day after the carrier has receipted 
for the merchandise.
    (c) Statement of merchandise entered. The person making entry for 
merchandise under an approved weekly permit shall file with the port 
director, by the close of business on the second working day of the week
