  Sandy damage has progressed to point that terminals are ready to power up their

  that power to several major terminal operators will be restored tomorrow by
  PSE&G.


Customs and Border
  Protection (CBP): CBP’s mobile equipment is ready for operation. Radiation
  inspection portals will be tested once power is restored. Three of the four
  Customs Exam Stations are in operation and CBP cleared cargo through them
  today.


Rail: Conrail and major
  rail carriers are ready to provide service to Port once terminals have restored
  power and are moving cargo.


Port Authority facilities
  are still closed to traffic not associated directly with current terminal and
  facility operations.


Another update will be
