Background
There is an existing tariff-rate quota
on certain beef from New Zealand
pursuant to Additional U.S. Note 3 of
Chapter 2 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
The tariff-rate quota for beef from New
Zealand was established by section 6 of
the Presidential Proclamation No. 6763
(December 23, 1994), as a result of the
Uruguay Round Agreements, approved
by Congress in section 101 of the
Uruguay Round Agreements Act (19
U.S.C. 3511(a), Pub. L. 103–465, 108
Stat. 4814). Tariff-rate quotas permit a
specified quantity of merchandise to be
entered or withdrawn for consumption
at a reduced duty rate during a specified
period. Furthermore, section 2012.3 of
title 15 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) states that beef may
only be entered as a product of an
eligible country for a tariff-rate quota if
the importer makes a declaration to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
that a valid export certificate is in effect
with respect to the beef. In addition, the
CBP regulations, at 19 CFR 132.15, set
forth provisions relating to the
requirement that an importer must
possess a valid export certificate at the
time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, to claim
the in-quota tariff rate of duty on entries
of beef subject to the tariff-rate quota.
The Electronic Certification System
(eCERT) is a system developed by CBP
that uses electronic data transmissions
of information normally associated with
a required export document, such as a
license or certificate, to facilitate the
administration of quotas and ensure that
the proper restraint levels are charged
without being exceeded. New Zealand
requested to participate in the eCERT
process to comply with the United
States’ tariff-rate quota for beef exported
from New Zealand for importation into
the United States. CBP has coordinated
with New Zealand to implement the
eCERT process, and now New Zealand
is ready to participate in this process by
transmitting its export certificates to
CBP via eCERT.
Foreign countries participating in
eCERT transmit information via a global
network service provider, which allows
connectivity to CBP’s automated
electronic system for commercial trade
processing, the Automated Commercial
Environment (ACE). Specific data
elements are transmitted to CBP by the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
importer of record (or an authorized
customs broker) when filing an entry
summary with CBP, and those data
elements must match eCERT data from
the foreign country before an importer
may claim any applicable in-quota tariff
rate of duty. An importer may claim an
in-quota tariff rate when merchandise is
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption, only if the information
transmitted by the importer matches the
information transmitted by the foreign
government. If there is no transmission
by the foreign government upon entry,
an importer must claim the higher overquota tariff rate.1 An importer may
subsequently claim the in-quota tariff
rate under certain limited conditions.2
This document announces that New
Zealand will be implementing the
eCERT process for transmitting export
certificates for beef entries subject to the
tariff-rate quota. Imported merchandise
that is entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
January 18, 2022, must match the
eCERT transmission of an export
certificate from New Zealand in order
for an importer to claim the in-quota
tariff rate. The transition to eCERT will
not change the tariff-rate quota filing
process or requirements. Importers will
continue to provide the export
certificate numbers from New Zealand
in the same manner as when currently
filing entry summaries with CBP. The
format of the export certificate numbers
will not change as a result of the
transition to eCERT. CBP will reject
entry summaries that claim an in-quota
tariff rate when filed without a valid
export certificate in eCERT.
Dated: January 7, 2022.

Executive Assistant Commissioner, Office of
Trade.

BILLING CODE P
1 If there is no associated foreign government
eCERT transmission available upon entry of the
merchandise, an importer may enter the
merchandise for consumption subject to the overquota tariff rate or opt not to enter the merchandise
for consumption at that time (e.g., transfer the
merchandise to a Customs bonded warehouse or
foreign trade zone or export or destroy the
merchandise).
2 If an importer enters the merchandise for
consumption subject to the over-quota tariff rate
and the associated foreign government eCERT
transmission becomes available afterwards, an
importer may claim the in-quota rate of duty by
filing a post summary correction (before
liquidation) or a protest under 19 CFR part 174
(after liquidation). In either event, the in-quota rate
of duty is allowable only if there are still quota
amounts available within the original quota period.

ACTION: 60-Day notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY:
in compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA). The ICR describes
the nature of the information collection
and its expected burden. This collection
involves the submission of information
from certain current and former TSA
employees who are interested in a Law
Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2004
(LEOSA) Identification (ID) Card, a
retired badge, and/or a retired
credential.

enforcement officer’’ may carry a
concealed firearm in any jurisdiction in
the United States, regardless of State or
local laws, with certain limitations and
conditions. In accordance with LEOSA,
the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) issued DHS Directive and
Instruction Manual 257–01, Law
Enforcement Officers Safety Act (Nov. 5,
2009). DHS Directive 257–01 requires
DHS components to implement the
provisions of LEOSA pertaining to
qualified retired Law Enforcement
Officers (LEOs) as cost-effectively and
efficiently as possible consistent with
the requirements and intent of the
statute for LEOs formerly employed by
DHS and predecessor agencies.
TSA subsequently issued TSA
Management Directive (MD) 3500.1,
LEOSA Applicability and Eligibility
(Oct. 7, 2001), to implement the LEOSA
statute and DHS directive. Under this
MD, TSA issues photographic
identification to retired LEOs who
separated or retired from TSA in ‘‘good
standing’’ and meet other qualification
requirements identified in this MD.
Retired Badge/Credential
Under TSA MD 2800.11, Badge and
Credential Program, a TSA employee
retiring from Federal service is eligible
to receive a ‘‘retired badge and/or
credential’’ if the individual: (1) Was
issued a badge and/or credential, (2)
qualifies for a Federal annuity under the
Civil Service Retirement System or the
Federal Employees Retirement System,
and (3) meets all of the other
qualification requirements under the
MD.2
If the employee is approved for a
retired badge and/or credential, his or
her badge and/or credential will be
replicated by TSA and marked with the
word ‘‘RETIRED,’’ to indicate that the
retired employee no longer has the
authority to perform specific official
functions pursuant to law, statute,
regulation, or DHS Directive. In the case
of a retired LEO, the individual is
prohibited from using the TSA retired
credential as photographic
identification for the purposes of the
LEOSA.
Purpose and Description of Data
Collection
Under TSA’s current application
process for these two programs,
Act Improvements Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–272,
124 Stat. 2855; Oct. 12, 2010) and National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Pub. L.
112–239, 126 Stat. 1970; Jan. 2, 2013).
2 These instructions are included in DHS
