Overview of This Information Collection Title: Global Interoperability Standards (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: 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 cutting-edge solutions to problems such as those involved in pipeline-borne goods. Neoflow (a SVIP participant) has a platform (the Neoflow platform) to document the movement (including ownership changes) of crude oil. The Neoflow platform will monitor Canadian crude oil, a continuous flow commodity, using global interoperability standards (GIS) adopted by test participants who will supply and input the GIS data into the Neoflow 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 Neoflow 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 supply chains 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 Neoflow platform’s GIS with a view VerDate Sep<11>2014 22:42 Jan 13, 2025 Jkt 265001 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). The test will be limited to pipeline oil products coming from Canada but may be expanded in the future to other commodities upon successful implementation of the test. This collection of information is authorized by 19 U.S.C. 1411 National Customs Automation Program. Type of Information Collection: NonStandard PDF. Estimated Number of Respondents: 24. Estimated Number of Annual Responses per Respondent: 12. Estimated Number of Total Annual Responses: 288. Estimated Time per Response: 4 hours. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,152.
