Download as PDF ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 141 / Tuesday, July 23, 2013 / Notices involving criminal records, and before making a final eligibility decision, TSA will advise the applicant that the FBI criminal record discloses information that would disqualify him or her from the TSA PreTM Trusted Traveler Program. Within 30 days after being advised that the criminal record received from the FBI discloses a disqualifying criminal offense, the applicant must notify TSA in writing of his or her intent to correct any information he or she believes to be inaccurate. The applicant must provide a certified revised record, or the appropriate court must forward a certified true copy of the information, prior to TSA approving eligibility of the applicant for the TSA PreTM Trusted Traveler Program. With respect to immigration records, within 30 days after being advised that the immigration records indicate that the applicant is ineligible for the TSA PreTM Trusted Traveler Program, the applicant must notify TSA in writing of his or her intent to correct any information believed to be inaccurate. TSA will review any information submitted and make a final decision. If neither notification nor a corrected record is received by TSA, TSA may make a final determination to deny eligibility. Individuals who TSA determines are ineligible for the TSA PreTM Trusted Traveler Program will continue to be screened at airport security checkpoints in the same manner as they would have been had they not applied for the program. The TSA PreTM Trusted Traveler Program will enhance aviation security by permitting TSA to better focus its limited security resources on passengers who are more likely to pose a threat to civil aviation, while also facilitating and improving the commercial aviation travel experience for the public. Travelers who choose not to enroll in this initiative are not subject to any limitations on their travel because of their choice; they will be processed through normal TSA screening before entering the sterile areas of airports. TSA also retains the authority to perform random screening on TSA PreTM Trusted Traveler Program members and any other travelers authorized for expedited physical screening. For the initial six months of the program, TSA intends to pilot a limited number of enrollment sites and then add additional locations over time; TSA estimates approximately 88,111 respondents will participate in the pilot. Assuming full program rollout following the pilot phase, TSA estimates in the first year following the pilot there will VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:40 Jul 22, 2013 Jkt 229001 be approximately 383,131 respondents. TSA estimates the total burden to be 27,466 hours for the pilot, and 119,430 hours in the year following the pilot. TSA will establish a TSA PreTM Trusted Traveler Program Fee of $85.00 for the TSA PreTM Trusted Traveler Program. This fee will be collected to fund selected activities of the program. As described above, the DHS Appropriations Act of 2006 permits TSA to impose fees for the TSA PreTM Trusted Traveler Program by notice. This notice will be published separately in the Federal Register. Dated: June 16, 2013. Joanna Johnson, TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Office of Information Technology.

The DIS test allows certain Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) participants to submit electronic images of a specific set of CBP and partner government agency forms and supporting information to CBP via a CBP- approved Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). The second phase of the DIS test expands the eligible forms supported by the test as well as participant eligibility and when forms may be transmitted. CBP hopes that these modifications make the DIS more user-friendly. The SE test simplifies the entry process by reducing the number of data elements required to obtain release for cargo transported by air. This notice modifies the SE test to allow for certain data elements to be transmitted via the DIS. This notice provides DIS test details including commencement date for the second phase, eligibility, procedural and documentation requirements, and test development and evaluation methods. DATES: The modified DIS test will commence no earlier than July 23, 2013 and will continue until concluded by way of announcement in the Federal Register.

Specifically, importers and brokers are allowed to submit specified official CBP documents and specified PGA forms via a CBP-approved Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) (please see Section V, ‘‘Technical Specifications,’’ below for details). On November 8, 2011, CBP published in the Federal Register a notice announcing an NCAP test concerning ACE Simplified Entry (SE test). See 76 FR 69755. The SE test established new entry capability to simplify the entry process for cargo transported by air by reducing the number of data elements required to obtain release. This data fulfills merchandise entry requirements which allow for earlier release decisions and more certainty for the importer in determining the logistics of cargo delivery. The SE test is currently open to Type 01 and Type 11 consumption entries filed in the air transportation mode only. This notice modifies the SE test to allow supporting documents to be transmitted through the DIS. The 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 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 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 introduce new functionality or 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 E:\FR\FM\23JYN1.SGM 23JYN1
