Overview of This Information
Collection
Title: Global Interoperability Standard
(GIS).
OMB Number: 1651–0NEW.
Form Number: N/A.
Current Actions: New Collection of
Information.
Type of Review: New Collection of
Information.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Abstract: A batch of crude oil from
Canada can take days to cross the
United States border and travel through
the North American pipeline network,
leaving no easily identifiable starting
point for monitoring timely entry and
entry summary filing. Moreover,
Canadian crude oil is actively traded as
PO 00000
Frm 00132
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
71381
a commodity while in transit though the
North American pipeline network, so
ownership (which impacts the right to
make entry) may not be known to CBP
until well after the commodity crosses
the border.
Further, the need for confidentiality
of transactional data among private
parties means there are limitations on
CBP’s and the trade’s visibility into
product origin traceability through the
supply chain to establish Free Trade
Agreement (FTA) eligibility. The
absence of a system or technology
capable of tracking changes in
ownership and destination of pipelineborne goods such as crude oil, from
wellhead to refinery, has resulted in
CBP creating a patchwork of policies for
data collection from carriers and
importers over the decades.
The Silicon Valley Innovation
Program (SVIP), part of the Department
of Homeland Security’s Science and
Technology Directorate, helps develop
and find new technologies that
strengthen national security with the
goal of reshaping how government and
industry work together to find cuttingedge solutions to problems such as
those involved in pipeline-borne goods.
A private company SVIP participant has
a platform to document the movement
(including ownership changes) of crude
oil. The platform will monitor Canadian
crude oil, a continuous flow
commodity, using global
interoperability standards (GIS) adopted
by test participants who will supply the
GIS data to the platform where CBP will
be able to view the data in near real
time. GIS data utilizes decentralized
identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable
credentials (VCs) to help in identifying
legitimate products and associated
companies to build a transparent supply
chain.
A transparent supply chain will be
achieved in the platform through the
recordation of bi-lateral transaction data
at each step in a supply chain, allowing
for dynamic updates of ownership and
destination information, securing it
from disclosure to unauthorized parties,
and making this data available to CBP
in near real time while creating an
immutable chain of custody from
wellhead to refinery.
If successful, the test could result in
the ability to potentially eliminate all
port-level paper processes as well as
create an automation environment in
which pre-arrival data collection, inbond tracking, and Free Trade
Agreement compliance traceability no
longer pose issues.
Therefore, the purpose of the test is to
measure the usefulness and accuracy of
the platform’s global interoperability

standards with a view toward resolving
any issues prior to determining next
steps, which could include
implementing new policies and
regulations leading to the integration of
GIS data with the Automated
Commercial Environment (ACE) for
Canadian crude oil and other pipeline
commodities for entry purposes.

Presidentially-declared disaster.
Regulations in 44 CFR 206.110, ‘‘Federal
Assistance to Individuals and
Households’’ implement the policy and
procedures set forth in Section 408 of
the Stafford Act (42 U.S.C. 5174, as
amended) and govern FEMA’s
Individuals and Households Program
(IHP). This program provides financial
assistance and, if necessary, direct
assistance to eligible individuals and
households who, as a direct result of a
major disaster or emergency, have
uninsured or under-insured necessary
expenses, and serious needs, and are
unable to meet such expenses or needs
through other means.
