of automated collection techniques or 

the use of other forms of information 

technology; and (e) the annual costs to 

respondents or record keepers from the 

collection of information (total capital/ 

startup costs and operations and 

maintenance costs). The comments that 

are submitted will be summarized and 

included in the CBP request for OMB 

approval. All comments will become a 

matter of public record. In this 

document, CBP is soliciting comments 

concerning the following information 

collection: 

Title: Application to Use the 

Automated Commercial Environment 

(ACE). 

OMB Number: 1651–0105. 

Abstract: The Automated Commercial 

Environment (ACE) is a trade processing 

system that will eventually replace 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 for 

trade. 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. 

Currently, ACE is used for imported 

merchandise by brokers, carriers, 

sureties, service providers, facility 

operators, foreign trade zone operators, 

cart men and lighter men. In order to 

establish an ACE Portal account, 

participants submit information such as 

their name, their employer 

identification number (EIN) or social 

security number, 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. 

CBP is proposing to add export 

functionality to the system which will 

allow participation from the exporter 

community. Trade members wishing to 

establish an exporter account will need 

to submit the following data elements: 

1. Company Information 

a. EIN 

b. DUNS (optional) 

c. Company Name 

d. Company Address 

e. End of Fiscal Year 

2. ACE Export Account Owner Information 

a. Name 

b. Date of Birth 

c. Telephone Number 

d. Fax Number (optional) 

e. Email 

f. Account Owner address if different from 

Company Address 

3. Filing Notification Point of Contact 

a. Name 

b. Phone Number 

c. Email 

Current Actions: CBP is proposing 

that this information collection be 

extended with a change to the burden 

hours resulting from the addition of a 

new application for exporters to 

establish an ACE Portal account. There 

are no proposed changes to the existing 

ACE Portal application for imported 

merchandise. 

Type of Review: Extension (with 

change). 

Affected Public: Businesses.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

21,000.

Responses: 21,000.
