subset of the required 19 CFR 122.48a
data elements (ACAS data) at the
earliest point practicable prior to
loading of the cargo onto the aircraft
destined to or transiting through the
United States. The ACAS data is used to
target high-risk air cargo. CBP is
considering possible amendments to the
regulations regarding advance
information for air cargo. The results of
the ACAS pilot will help determine the
relevant data elements, the time frame
within which data must be submitted to
permit CBP to effectively target, identify
and mitigate any risk with the least
impact practicable on trade operations,
and any other related procedures and
policies.
Extension of the ACAS Pilot Period and
Reopening of the Application Period
The October 2012 notice announced
that the ACAS pilot would run for six
months. The notice provided that if CBP
determined that the pilot period should
be extended, CBP would publish
another notice in the Federal Register.
The October 2012 notice also stated that
applications for new ACAS pilot
participants would be accepted until
November 23, 2012. CBP subsequently
published several notices extending the
pilot period and/or reopening the
application period to new participants
for limited periods. On December 26,
2012, CBP published a notice in the
Federal Register (77 FR 76064)
reopening the application period for
new participants until January 8, 2013.
On January 3, 2013, the Federal Register
published a correction (78 FR 315)
stating that the correct date of the close
of the reopened application period was
January 10, 2013. On April 23, 2013,
CBP published a notice in the Federal
Register (78 FR 23946) extending the
ACAS pilot period through October 26,
2013, and reopening the application
period through May 23, 2013. On
October 23, 2013, CBP published a
notice in the Federal Register (78 FR
63237) extending the ACAS pilot period
through July 26, 2014, and reopening
the application period through
December 23, 2013. Finally, on July 28,
2014, CBP published a notice in the
Federal Register (79 FR 43766)
extending the ACAS pilot period
through July 26, 2015, and reopening
the application period through
September 26, 2014.
Each extension of the pilot period and
reopening of the application period has
allowed for a significant increase in the
diversity and number of pilot
participants. CBP continues to receive a
number of requests to participate in the
pilot. CBP would like to extend the pilot
further and reopen the application

period for participants in order to
provide sufficient opportunity to the
broader air cargo community to
participate and prepare for a potential
regulatory regime in a pilot
environment. CBP would also like to
ensure continuity in the flow of advance
air cargo security information as the
rulemaking process progresses.
For these reasons, CBP is extending
the ACAS pilot period through July 26,
2016, and reopening the application
period through October 26, 2015.
Anyone interested in participating in
the ACAS pilot should refer to the
notice published in the Federal Register
on October 24, 2012, for additional
application information and eligibility
requirements.
Dated: July 21, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
proposed information collection was
previously published in the Federal

agency, or other organization that
intends to file an import entry shall file
CBP Form 5106 with the first formal
entry or request for services that will
result in the issuance of a bill or a
refund check upon adjustment of a cash
collection. This form is also filed for the
ultimate consignee for whom an entry is
being made.
CBP proposes to revise the CBP Form
5106 by changing the name of this form
to be clearer as to its intended purpose,
and by gathering additional information
about the company and its officers. This
will enhance CBP’s ability to make an
informative assessment of risk prior to
the initial importation, and will provide
CBP with improved awareness regarding
the company and its officers who have
chosen to conduct business with CBP.
CBP is also requesting that the company
officers whose information will be
submitted on this form have importing
and financial business knowledge of the
company, and that they have the legal
authority to make decisions on behalf of
the company.
The revised form will capture more
detailed company information which is
in alignment with other U.S.
Government data standards and
business standards. In addition to
collecting information about the
business structure and its officers, this
detailed information will provide CBP
with a greater knowledge about the
company and its previous business
practices. The new data elements that
CBP proposes to collect are:
If you are an importer, how many entries do
you plan on filing in a year?
How will the identification number be
utilized?
Program Code (Indicates membership in ISA
or C–TPAT)
Type of address (for mailing address)
Type of address (for physical location)

CBP also proposes to rename this
form ‘‘Create/Update Importer Identity
Form’’ to make the form’s purpose
clearer to respondents.
Based on public comments received
on the 60-day Federal Register Notice
(79 FR 61091) of October 9, 2014, CBP
also made the following changes to the
proposed, new version of Form 5106:
(1) The estimated average time to
complete this form was increased from
30 minutes to 45 minutes.
(2) The Quick Response (QR) Code
was placed in the upper left corner of
the document to provide users with a
quick link to the form on the Internet.
(3) In the Type of Action section of
the form, the statement, ‘‘If a continuous
bond is on file, a rider must accompany
this change document’’ was removed
because it is no longer necessary with eBonds.
(4) In section 1E of Form 5106 which
involves CBP-Assigned numbers, the
instructions were clarified to include
the statement, ‘‘If you have elected to
request a CBP-Assigned Number in lieu
of your SSN, you must provide your
SSN in Section 3J of this form.’’
(5) In section 1I of Form 5106, which
involves how the identification number
will be utilized, a statement was added
in the instructions to clarify that if the
role of the party is not listed,
respondents can select ‘‘Other’’ and
then list the specific role for the party.
(ex., Transportation carrier, Licensed
Customs Brokerage Firm, Container
Freight Station, Commercial
Warehouse/Foreign Trade Zone
Operator, Container Examination
Station or Deliver to Party).
(6) In section 1J thru 1M (Program
Codes) of Form 5106, a statement was
added in the instructions to clarify that
current, active participants in CBP
Partnership Program(s) (C–TPAT, ISA,
etc.) must provide the program code in
Block 1J thru Block 1M, and the
information that is contained in section
3 will not be required.
(7) In section 3, Company
Information, the instructions were
amended to clarify that the following
fields are optional:
• In section 3C DUNS Number for the
Importer;
• In section 3F Related Business
Information- the IRS number is optional
if this number is not available;
• In section 3J Business Structure/

FRN, CBP also made the following
revisions:

telephone numbers that are requested
on the form.

Owner’’ to title of that section to make
it now ‘‘Business Structure/Beneficial

instructions for section 3J were
amended to clarify what information is
needed.

U.S.C. 1484 and provided for by 19 CFR

revise the information being collected
by adding data elements to CBP Form
