U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

National Customs Automation 

Program (NCAP) Test Concerning 

Automated Commercial Environment 

(ACE) Document Image System (DIS) 

AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection, Department of Homeland 

Security. 

ACTION: General notice. 

SUMMARY: This document announces 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s 

(CBP’s) plan to conduct a National 

Customs Automation Program (NCAP) 

test concerning document imaging. 

During the test, certain Automated 

Commercial Environment (ACE) 

participants will be able to submit 

electronic images of a specific set of 

CBP and Participating Government 

Agency (PGA) forms and supporting 

information to CBP. Specifically, 

importers, and brokers, will be allowed 

to submit official CBP documents and 

specified PGA forms via the Electronic 

Data Interchange (EDI). This notice also 

describes test particulars including 

commencement date, eligibility, 

procedural and documentation 

requirements, and test development and 

evaluation methods. The test will be 

known as the Document Image System 

(DIS) Test. 

DATES: The DIS test will commence no 

earlier than April 6, 2012 and will 

continue until concluded by way of 

announcement in the Federal Register. 

Comments concerning this notice and 

any aspect of the test may be submitted 

at any time during the test to the 

address set forth below. 

ADDRESSES: Comments concerning this 

notice should be submitted via email to 

Monica Crockett at 

ESARinfoinbox@dhs.gov. In the subject 

line of your email, please indicate 

‘‘Document Image System (DIS)’’. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

policy-related questions, contact Monica 

Crockett at monica.crockett@dhs.gov. 

For technical questions related to ABI 

transmissions, contact your assigned 

client representative. Any PGA 

interested in participating in DIS should 

contact Susan Dyszel at 

susan.dyszel@dhs.gov. Interested parties 

without an assigned client 

representative should direct their 

questions to Susan Maskell at 

susan.maskell@dhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The National Customs Automation 

Program (NCAP) was established in 

Subtitle B of Title VI—Customs 

Modernization, in the North American 

Free Trade Agreement Implementation 

Act (Pub. L. 103–182, 107 Stat. 2057, 

2170, December 8, 1993) (Customs 

Modernization Act). See 19 U.S.C. 1411. 

Through NCAP, the initial thrust of 

customs modernization was on trade 

compliance and the development of the 

Automated Commercial Environment 

(ACE), the planned successor to the 

Automated Commercial System (ACS). 

ACE is an automated and electronic 

system for commercial trade processing 

which is intended to streamline 

business processes, facilitate growth in 

trade, ensure cargo security, and foster 

participation in global commerce, while 

ensuring compliance with U.S. laws and 

regulations and reducing costs for U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

and all of its communities of interest. 

The ability to meet these objectives 

depends on successfully modernizing 

CBP’s business functions and the 

information technology that supports 

those functions. CBP’s modernization 

efforts are accomplished through phased 

releases of ACE component 

functionality designed to replace a 

specific legacy ACS function. Each 

release will begin with a test and will 

end with mandatory compliance with 

the new ACE feature, thus retiring the 

legacy ACS function. Each release 

builds on previous releases and sets the 

foundation for subsequent releases. 

ACE prototypes are tested in 

accordance with § 101.9(b) of title 19 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR 

101.9(b)), which provides for the testing 

of NCAP components including ACE. 

For the convenience of the public, a 

chronological listing of Federal Register 

publications detailing ACE test 

developments in Entry, Summary, 

Accounts and Revenue (ESAR) is set 

forth below in Section X, entitled, 

‘‘Development of ACE Prototypes.’’ The 

procedures and criteria related to 

participation in the prior ACE tests 

remain in effect unless otherwise 

explicitly changed by this or subsequent 

notices published in the Federal 

Register. 

Document Image System (DIS) Test 

Program 

This notice announces a CBP plan to 

allow parties who have been accepted in 

previous ESAR tests and who file entry 

summaries in ACE to submit specified 

CBP and PGA documents via the 

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) as part 

of the Document Image System (DIS) 

test. DIS is currently a stand-alone 

system that will eventually support 

integration with other CBP systems and 

other government agencies. DIS 

capabilities will be delivered in 

multiple phases. 

The first phase, and the subject of this 

notice, will enable participating 

importers and brokers to transmit 

images of specified CBP and PGA forms 

with supporting information via EDI in 

an Extensible Markup Language (XML) 

format, in lieu of conventional paper 

methods. DIS will provide for the 

storage of all submitted documents in a 

secure centralized location for the 

maintenance of associations with ACE 

entry summary transactions. Authorized 

CBP and PGA users will have the ability 

to access document images submitted by 

trade participants via a user interface, 

which will allow CBP and PGA users to 

select specific documents for review, to 

change the status of documents, and to 

add comments based on the current 

state of their review. The interface will 

also allow the document image to be 

downloaded or printed, if necessary. 

This first phase will be limited to the 

forms listed below in Section III of this 

notice. Subsequent deployment phases 

of DIS will extend the functionality 

developed in this first phase to other 

CBP and PGA systems. These latter 

phases will incorporate additional forms 

into DIS and provide new interfaces for 

integration of DIS with other systems in 

CBP and other government agencies. 

The exact dates and content of 

subsequent phases of DIS have not yet 

been determined but will be announced 

in the Federal Register when set. 

Test Participation 

I. Eligibility Requirements 

In order to be eligible to participate in 

the DIS test, importers or brokers must 

be ACE entry summary filers. Interested 

participants should contact their client 

representative for additional 

information pertaining to participation 

in this test. Interested companies that do 

not currently have an assigned client 

representative should submit a Letter of 

Intent expressing their intent to 

participate in the DIS test so that client 

representatives can be assigned. 

Instructions for the preparation of the 

Letter of Intent can be found on the CBP
