Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 164 / Wednesday, August 24, 2016 / Notices
mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES
Abstract: As of July 23, 2016, the
Automated Commercial Environment
(ACE) is 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
challenge a CBP decision regarding
imported merchandise and certain other
CBP decisions. Trade members wishing
to establish a protest filer account will
need to submit the following data
elements:
1. Organization Information
a. Protest Filer Number (EIN, SSN, or CBP
Assigned Number)
b. Organization Name
c. Organization Type
d. End of Fiscal Year (month and day)
e. Mailing Address
2. ACE Account Owner Information
a. Name
b. Date of Birth
c. Email Address
d. Telephone Number
e. Fax Number (optional)
f. Account Owner address if different from
Company Address
3. Filing Notification Point of Contact
a. Name
b. Email address

Current Actions: CBP is proposing
that this information collection be
extended with a change to the burden
hours resulting from the addition of a
new application for protest filers to
establish an ACE Portal account. There
are no proposed changes to the existing
ACE Portal application, or changes to
the burden hours, for other ACE
accounts.
Type of Review: Extension (with
change).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The North American Waterfowl
Management Plan (NAWMP) is an
international agreement signed by the
United States Secretary of the Interior,
the Canadian Minister of the
Environment, and the Mexican
Secretary of the Environment and
Natural Resources. NAWMP lays out a
strategy to restore waterfowl
populations in North America through
habitat protection, restoration, and
enhancement. The 2012 revised goals of

mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 164 / Wednesday, August 24, 2016 / Notices
NAWMP focused for the first time on
people as well as waterfowl and their
habitats. Specifically, the plan states
that ‘‘The needs and desires of people
[as they relate to waterfowl] must be
clearly understood and explicitly
addressed’’ and calls for more human
dimensions research with waterfowl
hunters, viewers, and the general
public. The plan recognizes the
interconnectedness of waterfowl, their
habitat, and stakeholders. Without
human dimensions information,
NAWMP objectives may not reflect
stakeholder and societal values, and
management and policy decisions may
lead to actions that could be either
irrelevant or counter to stakeholder and
societal expectations.
To meet the goals set forth in the 2012
NAWMP revision, the NAWMP Human
Dimensions Working Group has asked
the USGS to conduct a mail survey to
assess the general public’s awareness
and perceptions of waterfowl and
wetlands, as well as measure
participation in recreational activities,
conservation behaviors, how people
obtain information on nature-related
issues, and demographics.
Demographics voluntarily collected on
the survey will include gender,
education, income, and race/ethnicity.
Additionally, a representative sample of
names and mailing addresses from the
general public will be purchased from a
survey sampling company which uses
publically available information to
construct sample lists. To protect the
confidentiality and privacy of survey
respondents, the demographic
information from the survey will not be
associated with any respondent’s name
or mailing address at any time and will
only be analyzed and reported in
aggregate.
Demographic information collected
on the survey will be used to
understand if any segments of the
American public hold differing views
on waterfowl and waterfowl-related
topics. For example, there may be
differences in awareness and
perceptions of waterfowl and wetlands
or in participation in recreational
activities between men and women.
This will enable waterfowl managers
and policymakers to better understand
and be more responsive to the varied
stakeholders they are serving. The data
from the survey will be aggregated and
statistically analyzed and the results
will be published in publically available
USGS reports.
The USGS Ecosystems Mission Area
is conducting this effort as it aligns with
their mission to ‘‘work with others to
provide the scientific understanding
and technologies needed to support the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

sound management and conservation of
our Nation’s biological resources.’’
Specifically, the Ecosystems Mission
Area ‘‘enters into partnerships with
scientific collaborators to produce highquality scientific information and
partnerships with the users of scientific
information to ensure this information’s
relevance and application to real
problems.’’
