Is There An API To Insert Into WSH_ITM_REQUEST_CONTROL?

Question regarding how to insert the values into the WSH_ITM_REQUEST_CONTROL table.


Currently there is a custom hook to insert additional data into the ONT or WSH request sent by the ITM Adapter.  
This hook (WSH_ITM_CUSTOM_PROCESS) is called during the WSH_ITM_EXPORT_SCREENING process.  
We understand the high level process but we are not sure how to insert the values in to the WSH_ITM_REQUEST_CONTROL table.  
Is there an API we will call in the WSH_ITM_CUSTOM_PROCESS or are we supposed to directly insert into the WSH_ITM_REQUEST_CONTROL table?

Detail of request
---------------------------
Using the standard methods for the initial insert into the WSH_ITM_REQUEST_CONTROL.  Looking for more clarification on using the WSH_ITM_CUSTOM_PROCESS.  
When I leverage this custom hook, should I add an update statement to the package in order to update the request (generated by the standard WSH_ITM_EXPORT_SCREENING package) or is there an API available to add data to the ATTRIBUTE columns?  Here is how I understand the process to work:

1.  WSH_ITM_EXPORT_SCREENING is called by the workflow when an Order is booked
2.  During the WSH_ITM_EXPORT_SCREENING process the appropriate data is inserted in to the WSH_ITM_REQUEST_CONTROL table.  This is standard.
3.  Once the data is inserted in to the WSH_ITM_REQUEST_CONTROL table, the WSH_ITM_EXPORT_SCREENING package calls the WSH_ITM_CUSTOM_PROCESS package.
4.  At this point, I will have added *something* to the WSH_ITM_CUSTOM_PROCESS which will somehow update the WSH_ITM_REQUEST_CONTROL row to add additional data to the ATTRIBUTE columns.  
5.  The WSH_ITM_EXPORT_SCREENING process will complete, thereby generating the XML and sending it to the Partner.  

==> Need guidance for step 4 as to what the addition to the WSH_ITM_CUSTOM_PROCESS should be.  
Any documentation or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
