collection:
Title: Application to Use the
Automated Commercial Environment
(ACE).
OMB Number: 1651–0105.
Abstract: As of July 23, 2016, the
Automated Commercial Environment
(ACE) will be the sole CBP-authorized
electronic data interchange (EDI) system
for processing electronic entry and entry
summary filings of certain entry types.
Pursuant to Executive Order 13659, a
deadline of December 31, 2016, was
established for participating Federal
agencies to have capabilities,
agreements, and other requirements in
place to utilize the International Trade
Data System (ITDS) and supporting
systems, such as ACE, as the primary
means of receiving from users the
standard set of data and other relevant
documentation (exclusive of
applications for permits, licenses, or
certifications) required for the release of
imported cargo and clearance of cargo
for export. See 79 FR 10655 (February
25, 2014). ACE supports government
agencies and the trade community with
border-related missions with respect to
moving goods across the border
efficiently and securely. Once ACE is
fully implemented, all related CBP trade
functions and the trade community will
be supported from a single common
user interface.
In order to establish an ACE Portal
account, participants submit
information such as their name, their
employer identification number (EIN) or
social security number, and if
applicable, a statement certifying their
capability to connect to the internet.
This information is submitted through
the ACE Secure Data Portal which is
accessible at: http://www.cbp.gov/trade/
automated.
CBP is proposing to add the capability
of electronically filing protests to ACE.
A protest is a procedure whereby a
private party may administratively

Current Actions: CBP is proposing
that this information collection be
extended with a change to the burden
hours resulting from the addition of a
new application for protest filers to
establish an ACE Portal account. There
are no proposed changes to the existing
ACE Portal application, or changes to
the burden hours, for other ACE
accounts.
