Agency (PGA) forms and supporting
information to CBP. Specifically,
importers, and brokers, will be allowed
to submit official CBP documents and
specified PGA forms via the Electronic
Data Interchange (EDI). This notice also
describes test particulars including
commencement date, eligibility,
procedural and documentation
requirements, and test development and

SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:17 Apr 05, 2012
Jkt 226001
The National Customs Automation
Program (NCAP) was established in
Subtitle B of Title VI—Customs
Modernization, in the North American
Free Trade Agreement Implementation
Act (Pub. L. 103–182, 107 Stat. 2057,
2170, December 8, 1993) (Customs
Modernization Act). See 19 U.S.C. 1411.
Through NCAP, the initial thrust of
customs modernization was on trade
compliance and the development of the
Automated Commercial Environment
(ACE), the planned successor to the
Automated Commercial System (ACS).
ACE is an automated and electronic
system for commercial trade processing
which is intended to streamline
business processes, facilitate growth in
trade, ensure cargo security, and foster
participation in global commerce, while
ensuring compliance with U.S. laws and
regulations and reducing costs for U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
and all of its communities of interest.
The ability to meet these objectives
depends on successfully modernizing
CBP’s business functions and the
information technology that supports
those functions. CBP’s modernization
efforts are accomplished through phased
releases of ACE component
functionality designed to replace a
specific legacy ACS function. Each
release will begin with a test and will
end with mandatory compliance with
the new ACE feature, thus retiring the
legacy ACS function. Each release
builds on previous releases and sets the
foundation for subsequent releases.
ACE prototypes are tested in
accordance with § 101.9(b) of title 19 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR
101.9(b)), which provides for the testing
of NCAP components including ACE.
For the convenience of the public, a
chronological listing of Federal Register
publications detailing ACE test
developments in Entry, Summary,
Accounts and Revenue (ESAR) is set
forth below in Section X, entitled,
‘‘Development of ACE Prototypes.’’ The
procedures and criteria related to
participation in the prior ACE tests
remain in effect unless otherwise
explicitly changed by this or subsequent
notices published in the Federal
Register.

Document Image System (DIS) Test
Program
This notice announces a CBP plan to
allow parties who have been accepted in
previous ESAR tests and who file entry
summaries in ACE to submit specified
CBP and PGA documents via the
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) as part
of the Document Image System (DIS)
test. DIS is currently a stand-alone
system that will eventually support
integration with other CBP systems and
other government agencies. DIS
capabilities will be delivered in
multiple phases.
The first phase, and the subject of this
notice, will enable participating
importers and brokers to transmit
images of specified CBP and PGA forms
with supporting information via EDI in
an Extensible Markup Language (XML)
format, in lieu of conventional paper
methods. DIS will provide for the
storage of all submitted documents in a
secure centralized location for the
maintenance of associations with ACE
entry summary transactions. Authorized
CBP and PGA users will have the ability
to access document images submitted by
trade participants via a user interface,
which will allow CBP and PGA users to
select specific documents for review, to
change the status of documents, and to
add comments based on the current
state of their review. The interface will
also allow the document image to be
downloaded or printed, if necessary.
This first phase will be limited to the
forms listed below in Section III of this
notice. Subsequent deployment phases
of DIS will extend the functionality
developed in this first phase to other
CBP and PGA systems. These latter
phases will incorporate additional forms
into DIS and provide new interfaces for
integration of DIS with other systems in
CBP and other government agencies.
The exact dates and content of
subsequent phases of DIS have not yet
been determined but will be announced
in the Federal Register when set.
Test Participation
I. Eligibility Requirements
In order to be eligible to participate in
the DIS test, importers or brokers must
be ACE entry summary filers. Interested
participants should contact their client
representative for additional
information pertaining to participation
in this test. Interested companies that do
not currently have an assigned client
representative should submit a Letter of
Intent expressing their intent to
participate in the DIS test so that client
representatives can be assigned.
Instructions for the preparation of the
Letter of Intent can be found on the CBP
