Overview of This Information
Collection
Title: Vessel Entrance or Clearance
Statement.
OMB Number: 1651–0019.
Form Number: CBP Form 1300.
Current Actions: Revision of an
existing collection of information.
Type of Review: Revision.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Abstract: CBP Form 1300, Vessel
Entrance or Clearance Statement, was
developed through agreement by the
United Nations Intergovernmental
Maritime Organization (IMO) in
conjunction with the United States and
various other countries. The form was
E:\FR\FM\15NON1.SGM
15NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 217 / Monday, November 15, 2021 / Notices
developed as a single form to replace
the numerous other forms used by
various countries for the entrance and
clearance of vessels. CBP Form 1300 is
authorized by 19 U.S.C. 1431, 1433, and
1434, and provided for by 19 CFR 4.
This form is accessible at https://
www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/
forms?title=1300&=Apply.
This form is, currently, physically
submitted and is anticipated to be
electronically submitted as part of CBP’s
efforts to automate maritime forms
through the Vessel Entrance and
Clearance System (VECS), which will
reduce the need for paper submission of
any vessel entrance or clearance
requirements under the above
referenced statutes and regulations.
VECS will still collect and maintain the
same data as CBP Form 1300, but will
automate the capture of data to reduce
or eliminate redundancy with other data
collected by CBP.
Proposed Changes
1. New ACE Account Type
CBP is adding a new ACE Account
type for Vessel Agencies: Vessel Agency
Account. The new account type within
ACE will operate as a portal to the
Vessel Entrance and Clearance System
(VECS), which will run as its own
separate system.
Vessel Agents will be required to
provide identifying information such as,
their name, their employer
identification number (EIN), company
address, and their phone numbers,
which will be requested at the time
Vessel Agents apply for the new ACE
account type.
After creating an ACE account, Vessel
Agencies, Vessel Operating Common
Carriers (VOCCs), and their designees
maybe able to use the new Vessel
Entrance and Clearance System (VECS)
as part of a forthcoming pilot program
to test the functionality of VECS, and
will be able to file vessel entrance,
clearance, and related data to CBP
electronically.

2. VECS Public Pilot
VECS will automate and digitize the
collection and processing of the data
and filing requirements for which the
CBP Form 1300 is used. CBP plans to
run an initial public pilot to test the
system. All users who obtained a Vessel
Agency Account through the ACE Portal
will be automatically enrolled into the
VECS public pilot. Initially, the pilot
will begin at one of several ports where
VECS is being internally tested. CBP
will provide training to each CBP port
and the Vessel Agency personnel at
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
each port, prior to beginning/expanding
the public pilot in another port.
The VECS public pilot will expand to
other internal CBP testing ports based
on knowledge and familiarity with the
system. The VECS public pilot will
then, based on pilot results, expand to
additional ports, in an effort to
progressively test and implement the
system nationwide. There will be no
change to CBP Form 1300 and CBP
Form 1300 will continue to be accepted.
Type of Information Collection: Vessel
Entrance or Clearance Statement (CBP
Form 1300).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
2,624.
Estimated Number of Annual
Responses per Respondent: 72.
Estimated Number of Total Annual
Responses: 188,928.
Estimated Time per Response: 30
minutes (0.5 hours).
