In this document, CBP is soliciting comments concerning the following information collection: Title: Application to Use the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). OMB Number: 1651–0105. Abstract: As of July 23, 2016, the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) will be the sole CBP-authorized electronic data interchange (EDI) system for processing electronic entry and entry summary filings of certain entry types. Pursuant to Executive Order 13659, a deadline of December 31, 2016, was established for participating Federal agencies to have capabilities, agreements, and other requirements in place to utilize the International Trade Data System (ITDS) and supporting systems, such as ACE, as the primary means of receiving from users the standard set of data and other relevant documentation (exclusive of applications for permits, licenses, or certifications) required for the release of imported cargo and clearance of cargo for export. 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. 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 the capability of electronically filing protests to ACE. A protest is a procedure whereby a private party may administratively VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:36 Jun 13, 2016 Jkt 238001 challenge a CBP decision regarding imported merchandise and certain other CBP decisions.
