International Trade Data System Test—
Cessation of Voluntary Export Pilot
Project
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms, and Explosives, Department of
Justice.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives
(ATF) announces cessation of its
voluntary participation in a U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
pilot test of the International Trade Data
System (ITDS) for processing import
and export-related ATF forms and data
using the Partner Government Agency
(PGA) Message Set and the Automated
Commercial Environment (ACE). The
Border Interagency Executive Counsel
(which oversees ITDS implementation)
requires each agency to announce the
start and cessation of the required
pilots. ATF’s participation for the
imports and exports requirements were
done separately with the imports pilot
being completed in 2015. See 81 FR
60022 (August 31, 2016). This notice
now concludes ATF participation in the
pilot for the exportation requirements.
While this notice announces the
cessation of the pilot program, CBP has
not yet announced the date that filing
entries in ACE will be mandatory. The
pilot test allowed participating
exporters to submit ATF Form 9,
Application and Permit for Permanent
SUMMARY:
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Exportation of Firearms (Form 9), and
additional information to CBP
electronically to obtain CBP certification
of exportation. During the pilot, CBP
validated that information and
electronically transmitted export
information to ATF to satisfy CBP’s
certification requirements.
DATES: This notice is effective on the
date of publication in the Federal
Register.
National Firearms Act, Industry
Processing Branch Chief, 244 Needy
Road, Martinsburg, WV, 25045, 304–
616–4500, IPB@atf.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ATF
participated in a voluntary CBP pilot
test of the ITDS involving the use of the
PGA Message Set and ACE. See 81 FR
70441 (October 12, 2016). The pilot
allowed exporters to submit required
data to CBP through ACE for the
purposes of obtaining CBP release and
receipt. CBP validated that information
electronically, and transmitted entry
and release information to ATF to
satisfy certification requirements. More
than a dozen agencies participated in
various pilots all of which are at
different stages of testing and
implementation.
In compliance with Executive Order
13659, Streamlining the Export/Import
Process for America’s Businesses (79 FR
10657, Feb. 25, 2014), ATF joined CBP’s
pilot test and encouraged voluntary
participation of U.S. exporters of
National Firearms Act (NFA) firearms,
as defined under title 26, United States
Code (U.S.C.), section 5845(a)). The
NFA (and the implementing regulations
in title 27, Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), part 479, require any person
desiring to export a firearm without
payment of transfer tax to apply for a
permit (ATF Form 9). See 26 U.S.C.
5854; 27 CFR 479.114. The approval
provides for deferment of tax liability.
In accordance with Federal regulation,
the exporter would furnish ATF
evidence of the exportation of the
firearm(s) within a six-month’s period of
the date of issuance of the permit to
relieve the tax liability. See 27 CFR
479.115. After the merchandise is
exported, CBP would execute the
certificate of exportation (Part 3 of Form
9) and send a copy of the executed
certificate to ATF. See 27 CFR 479.117.
This pilot program allowed CBP to
transmit the certificate to ATF
electronically, with the exporter
continuing to apply on Form 9 for the
permit.
The Border Interagency Executive
Council, Departments of Treasury and
Homeland Security, which oversees
ITDS implementation, asked ATF to end
the pilot. Pilot participants can continue
to function as they did while on the
pilot. Participants will not notice any
differences after the pilot has ended. At
some point, CBP will mandate importers
and exporters to use the ACE single
window; however, DHS needs all pilots
successfully completed to move to their
next phase of implementation. The
termination of the pilot will not cause
any delays for participating exporters,
and CBP will continue to transmit the
certificate of exportation to ATF
electronically.
Exporters should be aware that no
changes have been made to the
requirement that they submit their copy
of ATF Form 9 to ATF within a six
month period from the date of issuance
of the permit to export firearms. See 27
CFR 479.118.

Acting Deputy Director.

ATF's participation for the imports and exports requirements were done

the pilot for the exportation requirements. While this notice announces
the cessation of the pilot program, CBP has not yet announced the date
that filing entries in ACE will be mandatory. The pilot test allowed
participating exporters to submit ATF Form 9, Application and Permit

information to CBP electronically to obtain CBP certification of
exportation. During the pilot, CBP validated that information and
electronically transmitted export information to ATF to satisfy CBP's
certification requirements.
