begin at one of several ports where
VECS has been internally tested. CBP

other internal CBP testing ports based
on knowledge and familiarity with the
system. The VECS public pilot will
continue to expand to additional ports,
in an effort to progressively test and
implement the system nationwide.
There will be no change to the paper

Overview of This Information
Collection
Title: Application to use Automated
Commercial Environment (ACE).
OMB Number: 1651–0105.
Form Number: N/A.
Current Actions: Revision of an
existing collection of information.
Type of Review: Revision.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Abstract: The Automated Commercial
Environment (ACE) is a trade data
processing system that is replacing the
Automated Commercial System (ACS),
the current import system for U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
operations. ACE is authorized by
Executive Order 13659 which mandates
implementation of a Single Window
through which businesses will transmit
data required by participating agencies
for the importation or exportation of
cargo. 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.
To establish an ACE Portal account,
participants submit information such as
their name, their employer
identification number (EIN) or social
security number (SSN), 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.
Please Note: A CBP-assigned number
may be provided in lieu of your SSN. If
you have an EIN, that number will
automatically be used and no CBP
number will be assigned. A CBPassigned number is for CBP use only.
There is a standalone capability for
electronically filing protests in ACE.
This capability is available for
participants who have not established
ACE Portal Accounts for other trade
activities, but desire to file protests
electronically. A protest is a procedure
whereby a private party may
administratively challenge a CBP
decision regarding imported
merchandise and certain other CBP
decisions. Trade members can establish
a protest filer account in ACE through
a separate application and the
submission of specific data elements.
See 81 FR 57928 (August 24, 2016).

Proposed Changes
1. New ACE Account Type
CBP is creating a new ACE Account
type for ACE Import Trade Carriers and
their designees. This new account type,
Vessel Agency, enables users to file
vessel entrance, clearance, and related
data to CBP electronically through the
new Vessel Entrance and Clearance
System (VECS).
The ACE Account Application will be
changed to collect identifying
information such as name, employer
identification number (EIN), company
address, and phone numbers, to be used
to setup the Vessel Agency accounts.
Users who create a Vessel Agency
Account are automatically enrolled into
the VECS public pilot.

2. Removing ACE Account Types
In a separate action, unrelated to the
Vessel Agency account type creation,
CBP will also be removing account
types ‘‘Cartman’’ and ‘‘Lighterman’’
from the ACE Account Application.
These account types were never used
and are being removed due to that lack
of use.

Mortgage and Loan Insurance
Programs Under the National Housing
Act—Debenture Interest Rates
Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Housing, HUD.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

This notice announces
changes in the interest rates to be paid
on debentures issued with respect to a
loan or mortgage insured by the Federal
Housing Administration under the
provisions of the National Housing Act
(the Act). The interest rate for
debentures issued under section
221(g)(4) of the Act during the 6-month
period beginning January 1, 2022, is 11⁄2
percent. The interest rate for debentures
issued under any other provision of the
Act is the rate in effect on the date that
the commitment to insure the loan or
mortgage was issued, or the date that the
loan or mortgage was endorsed (or
initially endorsed if there are two or
more endorsements) for insurance,
whichever rate is higher. The interest
rate for debentures issued under these
other provisions with respect to a loan
or mortgage committed or endorsed
during the 6-month period beginning
January 1, 2022, is 17⁄8 percent.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Elizabeth Olazabal, Department of
Housing and Urban Development, 451

Washington, DC 20410–8000; telephone

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
224 of the National Housing Act (12
U.S.C. 1715o) provides that debentures
issued under the Act with respect to an
insured loan or mortgage (except for
debentures issued pursuant to section
221(g)(4) of the Act) will bear interest at
the rate in effect on the date the
commitment to insure the loan or
mortgage was issued, or the date the

whichever rate is higher. This provision
is implemented in HUD’s regulations at
24 CFR 203.405, 203.479, 207.259(e)(6),
and 220.830. These regulatory
provisions state that the applicable rates
of interest will be published twice each
year as a notice in the Federal Register.
Section 224 further provides that the
interest rate on these debentures will be
set from time to time by the Secretary
of HUD, with the approval of the
Secretary of the Treasury, in an amount
not in excess of the annual interest rate
determined by the Secretary of the
Treasury pursuant to a statutory formula
based on the average yield of all
outstanding marketable Treasury
obligations of maturities of 15 or more
years.
The Secretary of the Treasury (1) has
determined, in accordance with the
provisions of section 224, that the
statutory maximum interest rate for the
period beginning January 1, 2022, is 17⁄8
percent; and (2) has approved the
establishment of the debenture interest
rate by the Secretary of HUD at 17⁄8
percent for the 6-month period
beginning January 1, 2022. This interest
rate will be the rate borne by debentures
issued with respect to any insured loan
or mortgage (except for debentures
issued pursuant to section 221(g)(4))
with insurance commitment or
endorsement date (as applicable) within
the first 6 months of 2022).

mortgages committed or endorsed since
January 1, 1980:
