Overview of This Information
Collection
Title: e-Allegations Submission.
OMB Number: 1651–0131.
Form Number: None.
Current Action: CBP proposes to
extend the expiration date of this
information collection. The time burden
hours have been adjusted to account for
the addition of the EAPA Allegations
that have been added to this collection.
Type of Review: Extension (with
change).
Affected Public: Businesses,
Individuals.
Abstract: U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) established the eAllegations program in June 2008 to
create a central location for the public
to report allegations of trade law
violations. The information provided by
the public enables CBP, in collaboration
with our partners, to protect our
economy from the effects of unfair trade
practices and guard against the entry of
products that could pose a threat to
health and safety. The information
collected through the portal includes
the name individual filing the allegation
(this individual may remain
anonymous), their contact information,
and information pertinent to the
allegation of a trade law violation.
This collection of this information is
authorized by the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (19 U.S.C.1202 et seq.), the
Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Title 6,
U.S.C. 101), and the Security and
Accountability for Every Port Act of
2006 [‘‘SAFE Port Act’’] (Pub. L. 109–
347, Oct. 13, 2006). The e-Allegations
website is accessible at https://
www.cbp.gov/trade/e-allegations/.
Congress passed the Enforce and
Protect Act (‘‘EAPA’’), in February 2016,
as a part of the Trade Facilitation and
Trade Enforcement Act (‘‘TFTEA’’) of
2015 (Pub. L. 114–125, Feb. 24, 2016).
The EAPA legislation specifically was
intended to improve trade law
enforcement and duty collection for
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders, thus helping to create a levelplaying field for U.S. businesses. To that
end, CBP designed an investigative
process that provides for a multi-party,
transparent, on-the-record

61764
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 190 / Wednesday, September 30, 2020 / Notices
administrative proceeding, where
parties can both participate in and learn
the outcome of the investigation.
The information collected through the
EAPA allegation submissions portal
includes the following: Filer category,
name of individual filing the allegation
and their contact information, the name
and address of the company they
represent, and their interested party
designation; information related to the
alleged evasion scheme, including
products, type of scheme and AD/CVD
Order information; the name and
address of the company engaging in the
alleged evasion scheme; and various
certifications regarding the truthfulness
of the allegation and how notifications
about how the information will be used
during the investigation.
The EAPA Allegation form has been
modified from the original version to
provide clarifying information which
validates that the allegation qualifies as
an EAPA allegation. Additions to the
form include alleger and violating
importer email and phone number,
optional representing attorney contact
information, and selecting the type of
violation and the corresponding details.
The updated form also requires users to
upload at least one document to the
allegation submission and select a
document category in addition the
existing classification for confidentiality
status. Users will have the option to
select additional categories including
document date and if a document has
been served after upload. Harmonized
Tariff Schedule product categories and
questions that would make an allegation
non-qualifying for an EAPA allegation
have been removed and replaced by
system validations or additional
instructions.
Collection of information for an EAPA
investigation is authorized by the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (19, U.S.C.
1517), Section 421 of the TFTEA (Pub.
L. 114–125, Feb. 24, 2016), and 19 CFR
165. The EAPA portal is accessed
through the e-Allegations website at

In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we
provide the general public and other
Federal agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
On April 9, 2020, we published in the
Federal Register (85 FR 20030) a
proposed rule informing the public of
our intent to request that OMB approve
this information collection. We received
one comment in response to the
proposed rule but it did not address the
information collection requirements.
Therefore, no response was required.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
