Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. §552a(e)(3), this Privacy Act Statement serves to inform you of the following concerning the collection
of information on the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Secure Data Portal Account Owner
Designation/Authorization Form.
AUTHORITY: Collection of the information solicited on this form is authorized by the following:
19 U.S.C. §§66, 1431, 1448, 1481, 1484, 1505, 1514, 1624, and 2071; Title 19, Code of Federal Regulations,
including 19 C.F.R. §§24.5, 149.3, 101.9, and 103.31(e); Executive Orders 9397 and 13659.
In addition to Executive Order 9397, CBP has the authority to collect Social Security Numbers (SSN) pursuant to 31
U.S.C. §7701(c), 26 U.S.C. §6109(d), 19 C.F.R. §§24.5 and 149.3. SSN is used because some individuals who do
not have an employer identification number (EIN) or a tax identification number (TIN) choose to instead submit their
SSN.
PURPOSE: The primary purpose for soliciting this information is to enable importers, exporters, brokers, or carriers to
access their customs data via a web-based Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Secure Data Portal (ACE Portal).
(See Terms and Conditions document, 72 FR 27632, published May 16, 2007.) The ACE Portal provides a centralized
online access point to connect CBP, trade representatives, and Participating Government Agencies (PGAs) involved in
importing goods into the United States. The ACE Portal helps improve compliance with trade laws by enabling account
holders to identify and evaluate compliance issues, monitor daily operations, set up payment options, review filings, access
a reports tool, compile data, perform national trend analysis, and be provided with insight into entries under review by CBP.
ROUTINE USES: If you choose to provide the information solicited on this form, CBP will use the information to provide
you with an ACE Portal user account. The personally identifiable information (PII) that you provide will not be shared with
other government agencies unless they are a Participating Government Agency (PGA), pursuant to an International Trade
Data System (ITDS) Memorandum of Understanding, consistent with the receiving agency’s legal authority to collect
information pertaining to and/or regulate transactions in international trade. Additionally, CBP may share the information
with law enforcement of other government agencies as necessary to respond to potential or actual threats of terrorism, or
otherwise required by law as a “routine use” pursuant to its published Privacy Act system of records notice.

DISCLOSURE: Providing this information is not legally required to import commercial merchandise into the United States.
However, by submitting your PII (including your SSN) in applying for an ACE Portal account, you are giving CBP
permission to use the information for a specific, stated purpose, i.e., to obtain the benefits of creating an ACE Portal user
account.
