begin applying Harmonized Tariff
Schedule flags, which will alert filers
who opted to submit electronically
using ACE. Full implementation of the
message set will bring APHIS into
compliance with the mandates of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The National Customs Automation
Program (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; see 19 U.S.C.
1411). Through NCAP, the initial thrust
of customs modernization was on trade
compliance and the development of the
Automated Commercial Environment
(ACE), the planned successor to the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:47 Jan 31, 2020
Jkt 250001
Automated Commercial System (ACS).
ACE is an automated and electronic
system for commercial trade processing
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 U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (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.
The International Trade Data System
(ITDS) is authorized by section 405 of
the Security and Accountability For
Every Port Act of 2006 (SAFE Port Act,
Pub. L. 109–347). The purpose of ITDS,
as defined by section 405 of the SAFE
Port Act, is to eliminate redundant
information filing requirements,
efficiently regulate the flow of
commerce, and effectively enforce laws
and regulations relating to international
trade, by establishing a single portal
system, operated by CBP, for the
collection and distribution of standard
electronic import and export data
required by all participating Federal
agencies.
From March 1, 2016, through August
15, 2016, the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) conducted
pilots of ACE/ITDS using the message
set data for Animal Care, Biotechnology
Regulatory Services, Plant Protection
and Quarantine, and Veterinary Services
(known collectively as APHIS Core).1
The pilots were available for any
stakeholder interested in participating.
During the pilot phase, APHIS
conducted an analysis and provided
feedback on each initial filing. APHIS
continues to provide an analysis of the
data submissions for stakeholders who
request feedback.
APHIS intends to fully implement
this change on August 3, 2020. On that
date, APHIS intends to begin applying
Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS)
flags, which will alert filers who opt to
submit data electronically whether
APHIS import data is or may be
required. Importers or brokers using
ACE must enter APHIS-required import
data when they receive an APHISspecific HTS flag in order to complete
their entry in the system.
We invite public comment on the
timeline for full implementation of the
APHIS Core Message Set in ACE/ITDS.

and end of the pilots, go to https://

Sfmt 4703

After the close of the comment period
we will publish another notice in the
Federal Register confirming the date
when APHIS will begin applying HTS
flags.
Importers and brokers are required to
submit APHIS-required information at
the first U.S. port of arrival and are
responsible for knowing what to file,
regardless of whether a tariff code is
flagged in ACE. The APHIS Core
Message Set does not allow for de
minimis exceptions. Importers and
brokers must submit required data for
APHIS-regulated products regardless of
the size or value of the shipment. Any
exceptions to filing APHIS Core data in
ACE will be noted on the APHIS ACE
website at https://www.aphis.usda.gov/
ace.
To view APHIS Core Message Set
guidance, visit the APHIS ACE website
at https://www.aphis.usda.gov/ace/. The
latest APHIS Core Message Set
implementation guide can be viewed on
the CBP website at https://www.cbp.gov/

A complete list of documents and
approved submission options is
available on the CBP website at https://

Message Set, please email ace.itds@
