12182 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 50 / Thursday, March 15, 2007 / Notices 

2. Provided a Standard Carrier Alpha 

Code(s) (SCAC); and 

3. Provided the name, address, and email of a point of contact to receive 

further information. 

In addition, the notice provided that 

participants intending to use the ACE 

Secure Data Portal as the means to file 

the manifest must submit a statement 

certifying the ability to connect to the 

Internet. Participants intending to use 

an EDI interface are required to first test 

their ability to send and receive 

electronic messages in either American 

National Standards Institute (ANSI) X12 

or United Nations/Directories for 

Electronic Data Interchange for 

Administration, Commerce and 

Transport (UN/EDIFACT) format with 

CBP. The September 13, 2004, notice 

indicated that acceptance into this test 

does not guarantee eligibility for, or 

acceptance into, future technical tests. 

Subsequently, in a Federal Register 

notice published on March 29, 2006 (71 

FR 15756), CBP announced a change 

advising truck carriers that they were no 

longer required to open ACE Truck 

Carrier [Portal] Accounts to participate 

in the ACE test. Specifically, truck 

carriers were advised that they could 

elect to use a third party to submit 

electronic manifest information to CBP 

via EDI. Truck carriers participating in 

this fashion would not have access to 

operational data and would not receive 

status messages on ACE Accounts, nor 

would they have access to integrated 

Account data from multiple system 

sources. These truck carriers would be 

able to obtain release of their cargo, 

crew, conveyances, and equipment via 

EDI messaging back to the transmitter of 

the information. A truck carrier using a 

third party to transmit via EDI cargo, 

crew, conveyance and equipment 

information to CBP would be required 

to have a Standard Carrier Alpha Code 

(SCAC). Any truck carrier with a SCAC 

could arrange to have a third party 

transmit manifest information to CBP 

via EDI consistent with the 

requirements of the ACE Truck Manifest 

Test. Due to limited functionality 

available via the portal at that time, 

truck carriers were advised that if they 

elected to use a third party to transmit 

the truck manifest information to CBP 

via the ACE portal (rather than EDI), the 

truck carrier who is submitting that 

information to the third party (for 

transmission to CBP) would be required 

to have an ACE Truck Carrier Account 

as described in the February 4, 2004, 

notice. In clarification of the March 29, 

2006, notice, if a truck carrier elects to 

use a third party to transmit the truck 

manifest information to CBP via EDI, the 

truck carrier would need to have a nonportal account. 

Implementation 

Since the publication of the March 29, 

2006, notice, additional functionality 

has been deployed in the ACE portal so 

that a party with an ACE portal account 

now has the ability to transmit the 

manifest information via the ACE portal 

on behalf of other truck carriers. As a 

result, CBP announces in this document 

that truck carriers participating in the 

ACE Truck Manifest Test and electing to 

use a third party to submit manifest 

information to CBP via the ACE portal 

are no longer required to have ACE 

portal accounts as previously set forth 

in the March 29, 2006, notice. 

By making this change, CBP is 

opening the ACE Truck Manifest Test to 

parties previously ineligible to 

participate. Truck carriers who do not 

have ACE portal accounts and who elect 

to use third parties to submit manifest 

information to CBP will no longer be 

restricted to electronic data interchange 

(EDI) messaging only. 

Any party, whether a truck carrier or 

other entity, planning to transmit 

electronic truck manifest information on 

behalf of other truck carriers must 

establish or have established an ACE 

portal account. Interested parties must 

submit an application as set forth in the 

February 4, 2004, notice. Eligibility 

requirements specified in that notice 

include providing CBP with a Standard 

Carrier Alpha Code(s) (SCAC), if 

applicable, and providing the name, 

address, and e-mail of a point of contact 

to receive further information. Current 

portal truck carrier accounts wishing to 

transmit a manifest on behalf of another 

carrier will be able to do so through 

their existing accounts. 

Carriers who use a third party to 

transmit manifest information will not 

have access to their manifest data unless 

they establish their own ACE Secure 

Data Portal Accounts. Truck carriers 

who elect to use the third party 

transmitter method will not receive 

status messages on ACE transactions. 

Those messages will be provided to the 

party transmitting the manifest 

information. Carriers without portal 

accounts who use a third party to 

transmit manifest information will need 

to have a non-portal account. 

Previous Notices Continue To Be 

Applicable 

All of the other aspects of the ACE 

Truck Manifest Test as set forth in the 

September 13, 2004, notice (69 FR 

55167), as modified by the general 

notice published in the Federal Register 

(70 FR 13514) on March 21, 2005, 

continue to be applicable. The March 

21, 2005, notice clarified that all 

relevant data elements are required to be 

submitted in the automated truck 

manifest submission. All of the aspects 

of the February 4, 2004, notice (69 FR 

5360) also continue to be applicable, 

except as revised in this notice.
