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 U:\REGISTER\03SEN1.SGM 03SEN1
