vessel’s arrival and up to the time the
vessel is cleared by CBP. Payments
required for CBP clearance must be
made before clearance is granted.
Only commercial vessel maritime
taxes and fees are eligible for
prepayment online through this pilot.
The commercial vessel maritime taxes
and fees eligible for potential
prepayment online through this pilot
are: Regular tonnage tax, special tonnage
tax, light money, COBRA user fees,
including the prepayment of the annual
COBRA fee, AQI user fees, and
navigation fees. CBP may expand the
pilot to include additional taxes and
fees. Any expansion of the fees that are
eligible for online payment will be
announced in the Federal Register and
posted on the CBP Web site, https://
www.cbp.gov.
Process at the Designated Ports of Entry
When a commercial vessel arrives at
a designated port of entry, a CBP
employee will access the MCR system to
determine whether the applicable taxes
and fees have been prepaid online for
that vessel. If the applicable taxes and
fees have not been prepaid online, the
vessel agent or other party responsible
for payment will have the option to pay
all applicable taxes and fees either
electronically through the MCR system
or at the port of entry with cash or
check. If payment is made by cash or
check, the CBP officer accepting
payment will access the MCR system to
review any relevant arrival information,
automatically calculate the applicable
fees, prepare an electronic version of
Form 368 and Form 1002, if applicable,
and email an electronic copy of the
forms to the vessel operator, owner, or
agent. In all situations, CBP officers will
have the ability to review, amend, or
add data as needed to accurately
calculate applicable taxes and fees prior
to entering or clearing a vessel.
Throughout the pilot, commercial
vessel agents and other entities
responsible for payment will continue
to be able to pay applicable maritime
taxes and fees to an authorized CBP
employee by cash or check. CBP will
provide electronic versions of Forms
368 and 1002 as a receipt for all
payments, regardless of whether
payment was made in person by cash or
check or paid online. The port office
will provide paper copies of Forms 368
and 1002 upon request.
This pilot will not affect the amount
of taxes and fees due or the requirement
that all applicable fees must be paid
prior to the issuance of a clearance
certificate. Additionally, vessel
operators will continue to be required to
present paper copies of Forms 368 and

1002 as proof of payment at subsequent
ports and entries.
$100 without obtaining authorization
from the Customs officer in charge.
Designated Ports of Entry and Duration
of the Pilot
The pilot will initially operate at the
following ports of entry: Los AngelesLong Beach, California; New Orleans,
Louisiana; Gulfport, Mississippi; and,
Mobile, Alabama.
The pilot will begin no earlier than
January 8, 2018 and will continue for 18
months. If it is determined that the pilot
is working successfully at these initial
ports, the pilot may be expanded to
additional ports of entry, extended for
an additional period of time, and/or
expanded to include additional
maritime fees, taking into consideration
any comments that are received. Any
expansion or extension of the pilot
would be announced in the Federal
Register.
Dated: December 5, 2017.

Acting Assistant Commissioner, Office of
Finance.
Privacy
CBP will ensure that all Privacy Act
requirements and applicable policies are
adhered to during the implementation
of this pilot.
Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507(d)) requires that
CBP consider the impact of paperwork
and other information collection
burdens imposed on the public. An
agency may not conduct, and a person
is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless the
collection of information displays a
valid control number assigned by the
Office of Management and Budget.
There is no information collection
associated with this pilot, so the
provisions of the PRA do not apply.
Authorization for the Pilot
This pilot is being conducted in
accordance with 19 CFR 101.9(a), which
authorizes the Commissioner to impose
requirements different from those
specified in the CBP regulations for the
purposes of conducting a test program
or procedure designed to evaluate the
effectiveness of new technology or
operational procedures regarding the
processing of passengers, vessels, or
merchandise. For participants in this
pilot, CBP will waive the requirements
to pay tonnage tax, light money, COBRA
user fees, AQI user fees, and navigation
fees by cash or check at the time of
arrival or when the applicable service is
provided, if the participant has paid all
applicable taxes and fees due online
prior to the vessel’s arrival or prior to
the time the vessel is cleared by CBP.
The pilot also permits CBP officers to
process the payment of checks over
