ACE Cargo Release filing minimizes the redundancy of data submitted by the filer to CBP through receiving carrier data from the carrier. This design allows the participants to file earlier in the transportation flow. Guidance on using ACE Cargo Release may be found at https://www.cbp.gov/trade/ace/features. It should be noted that ACE Cargo Release was previously called Simplified Entry. New Changes: 1. Global Business Identifier (GBI): Collectively, the updates proposed below aim to enhance upstream supply chain traceability and visibility while addressing the increasing complexity of global trade supply chains. All participation and data submitted is voluntary. Find more details about GBI in the 1651–0141 GBI information collection. D The GBI Test is expanding the available supply chain entity party types from the original six optional parties (Manufacturer, Shipper, Seller, Exporter, Distributor, Packager), to include two new parties: ‘‘Intermediary’’ and ‘‘Source,’’ along with optional free text fields that will allow filers to input additional descriptions and information about the specific party type. These party types would be made available in the GBI Enrollment database as well as the Automated Commercial Environment Cargo Release. D A modification within the Global Business Identifiers (GBI) Enrollment database will allow the trade to submit one or more of the unique GBI’s (the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI), Global Location Number (GLN), and Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS)) for a supply chain entity, as opposed to all three as previously approved and announced. Furthermore, a related programming update will enable trade participants the ability to modify or change a previous enrollment, including updating or adding additional GBI numbers. D CBP intends to expand the choices of identifiers available to filers over the duration of the Test, including those that at no cost to the government provide access to the underlying entity and product specific supply chain data associated with the identifier. This would enhance traceability for CBP which may translate to facilitation benefits and reduced industry costs. CBP has initiated programming requests in ACE to accommodate the intake of additional GBI identifier qualifiers. These changes are under development and there is no defined timeline for their completion. Specifically, CBP will VerDate Sep<11>2014 22:42 Jan 13, 2025 Jkt 265001 begin by adding to the GBI Test the new Altana ID (ALTA) maintained by Altana Technologies, USG Inc. (Altana). The addition of the ALTA identifier alongside current and future GBI identifiers will widen participants’ choices and allow CBP to continue to evaluate the breadth and veracity of entity and supply chain information embedded within different types of identifier solutions already being leveraged by trade industry traceability stewards. It will also contribute to CBP’s ongoing exploration of how traced supply chain information may be ingested and operationalized for risk management and facilitation purposes. CBP will add any new identifiers into the collection and submit to OMB for approval as they are determined through a change request (Form 83–C). 2. Russian Sanctions Executive Order 14114: D New Data Elements are being added to comply with the Russian sanctions outlined in Executive Order 14114 published on December 22, 2023. The data elements and burden are recorded in the supporting statement of the 1651– 0NEW Russian Sanctions information collection package. 3. Update to Form 3461/3461ALT Instructions: The instructions on the Form 3461/ 3461 ALT have been updated to include the new Russian sanctions data elements and text field boxes, as well as being updated to improve user experience and clarity of the form. Find a copy of the new form, with the changes outlined included with this package submission as supplementary documents. Type of Information Collection: ACE Cargo Release/ABI.
