discrimination, or to retaliation for
opposing these types of discrimination
or for participating in any stage of
administrative or judicial proceedings
relating to them, can seek a remedy
under title VII of the Civil Rights Act
(title VII) (42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.) (race,
color, religion, sex, national origin), the
Age Discrimination in Employment Act
(ADEA) (29 U.S.C. 621 et seq.) (age), the
Equal Pay Act (29 U.S.C. 206(d)) (sex),
the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 791 et
seq.) (disability), the Genetic
Information Nondiscrimination Act
(GINA) (42 U.S.C. 2000ff et seq.)
(genetic information), and Executive
Order 11478 (as amended by Executive
Orders 13087 and 13152) (sexual
orientation or status as a parent).
The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), Office for Civil Rights
and Civil Liberties (CRCL) adjudicates
discrimination complaints filed by
current and former DHS employees, as
well as applicants for employment to
DHS. The complaint adjudication
process for statutory rights is outlined in
the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC) regulations found
at title 29, Code of Federal Regulations
part 1614 and EEO Management
Directive 110. For complaints regarding
sexual orientation or status as a parent,
DHS follows the same procedures as for
statutory rights, to the extent permitted
by law.
The recordkeeping provisions are
designed to ensure that a current
employee, former employee, or
applicant for employment claiming to
be aggrieved or that person’s attorney
provide a signed statement that is
sufficiently precise to identify the
aggrieved individual and the agency and
to describe generally the action(s) or
practice(s) that form the basis of the
complaint. The complaint must also
contain a telephone number and address
where the complainant or the
representative can be contacted. The
complaint form is used for original
allegations of discrimination but also for
amendments to underlying complaints
of discrimination. The form also
determines whether the person is
willing to participate in mediation or
other available types of alternative
dispute resolution (ADR) to resolve their
complaint; Congress has enacted
legislation to encourage the use of ADR
in the federal sector and the form
ensures that such an option is
considered at this preliminary stage of
the EEO complaint process.
A complainant may access the
complaint form on the agency Web site
and may submit a completed complaint
form electronically to the relevant
Component’s EEO Office. The complaint
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
form can then be directly uploaded into
the DHS EEO Enterprise Complaints
Tracking System, also known as
‘‘iComplaints.’’
There is no change or adjustment to
the burden associated with the
collection of information associated
with the DHS complaint form. DHS is
proposing to make one change to the
DHS complaint form. This change is the
addition of a new checkbox that says
‘‘gender identity’’ as a sub-category
under the existing checkbox that says
‘‘sex’’ on the form. Gender identity
discrimination is a form of sex
discrimination, which is covered under
title VII. So this information is already
included in data gathered in EEO
complaints; adding the separate check
box just more clearly identifies a subcategory. This form modification is in
accordance with new instructions from
EEOC—requiring all government
agencies to specifically identify this
type of information on our complaint
forms.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

Title: Application to Use the
Automated Commercial Environment
(ACE).
OMB Number: 1651–0105.
Abstract: The Automated Commercial
Environment (ACE) is a trade processing
system that will eventually replace the
Automated Commercial System (ACS),
the current import system for U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
operations. ACE is authorized by
Executive Order 13659 which mandates
implementation of a Single Window for
trade. See 79 FR 10655 (February 25,
2014). ACE supports government
agencies and the trade community with
border-related missions with respect to
moving goods across the border
efficiently and securely. Once ACE is
fully implemented, all related CBP trade
functions and the trade community will
be supported from a single common
user interface.
Currently, ACE is used for imported
merchandise by brokers, carriers,
sureties, service providers, facility
operators, foreign trade zone operators,
cart men and lighter men. In order to
establish an ACE Portal account,
participants submit information such as
their name, their employer
identification number (EIN) or social
security number, and if applicable, a
statement certifying their capability to
connect to the internet. This
information is submitted through the
ACE Secure Data Portal which is
accessible at: https://www.cbp.gov/trade/
automated.
CBP is proposing to add export
functionality to the system which will
allow participation from the exporter
community. Trade members wishing to
establish an exporter account will need
to submit the following data elements:
1. Company Information
a. EIN
b. DUNS (optional)
c. Company Name
d. Company Address
e. End of Fiscal Year
2. ACE Export Account Owner Information
