Proposed Project: Pretesting of 

Substance Abuse Prevention and 

Treatment and Mental Health Services 

Communications Messages—(OMB No. 

0930–0196)—Reinstatement 

As the federal agency responsible for 

developing and disseminating 

authoritative knowledge about 

substance abuse prevention, addiction 

treatment, and mental health services 

and for mobilizing consumer support 

and increasing public understanding to 

overcome the stigma attached to 

addiction and mental illness, SAMHSA 

is responsible for development and 

dissemination of a wide range of 

education and information materials for 

both the general public and the 

professional communities. This 

submission is for generic approval and 

will provide for formative and 

qualitative evaluation activities to; (1) 

assess audience knowledge, attitudes, 

behavior and other characteristics for 

the planning and development of 

messages, communication strategies and 

public information programs; and (2) 

test these messages, strategies and 

program components in developmental 

form to assess audience comprehension, 

reactions, and perceptions. Information 

obtained from testing can then be used 

to improve materials and strategies 

while revisions are still affordable and 

possible. The annual burden associated 

with these activities is summarized 

below.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

SECURITY 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

New Zealand Beef Imports Approved 

for the Electronic Certification System 

AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection, Department of Homeland 

Security. 

ACTION: General notice. 

SUMMARY: This document announces 

that the export certification requirement 

for certain imports of beef from New 

Zealand subject to a tariff-rate quota will 

be accomplished through the Electronic 

Certification System (eCERT). All 

imports of beef from New Zealand that 

are subject to the tariff-rate quota must 

have a valid export certificate with a 

corresponding eCERT transmission at 

the time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption. The 

United States Government (USG) has 

approved the request from New Zealand 

to transition to eCERT as the method of 

transmission. The transition to eCERT 

will not change the tariff-rate quota 

filing process or requirements. 

Importers will continue to provide the 

export certificate numbers from New 

Zealand in the same manner as when 

currently filing entry summaries with 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection. 

The format of the export certificate 

numbers will remain the same for the 

corresponding eCERT transmissions. 

DATES: The use of the eCERT process for 

certain New Zealand beef importations 

subject to a tariff-rate quota will be 

effective for beef entered, or withdrawn 

from a warehouse, for consumption on 

or after January 18, 2022.

1 If there is no associated foreign government 

eCERT transmission available upon entry of the 

merchandise, an importer may enter the 

merchandise for consumption subject to the overquota tariff rate or opt not to enter the merchandise 

for consumption at that time (e.g., transfer the 

merchandise to a Customs bonded warehouse or 

foreign trade zone or export or destroy the 

merchandise). 

2 If an importer enters the merchandise for 

consumption subject to the over-quota tariff rate 

and the associated foreign government eCERT 

transmission becomes available afterwards, an 

importer may claim the in-quota rate of duty by 

filing a post summary correction (before 

liquidation) or a protest under 19 CFR part 174 

(after liquidation). In either event, the in-quota rate 

of duty is allowable only if there are still quota 

amounts available within the original quota period.

Peterson, Chief, Quota and Agriculture 

Branch, Trade Policy and Programs, 

Office of Trade, (202) 384–8905, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

There is an existing tariff-rate quota 

on certain beef from New Zealand 

pursuant to Additional U.S. Note 3 of 

Chapter 2 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

The tariff-rate quota for beef from New 

Zealand was established by section 6 of 

the Presidential Proclamation No. 6763 

(December 23, 1994), as a result of the 

Uruguay Round Agreements, approved 

by Congress in section 101 of the 

Uruguay Round Agreements Act (19 

U.S.C. 3511(a), Pub. L. 103–465, 108 

Stat. 4814). Tariff-rate quotas permit a 

specified quantity of merchandise to be 

entered or withdrawn for consumption 

at a reduced duty rate during a specified 

period. Furthermore, section 2012.3 of 

title 15 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) states that beef may 

only be entered as a product of an 

eligible country for a tariff-rate quota if 

the importer makes a declaration to U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

that a valid export certificate is in effect 

with respect to the beef. In addition, the 

CBP regulations, at 19 CFR 132.15, set 

forth provisions relating to the 

requirement that an importer must 

possess a valid export certificate at the 

time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, to claim 

the in-quota tariff rate of duty on entries 

of beef subject to the tariff-rate quota. 

The Electronic Certification System 

(eCERT) is a system developed by CBP 

that uses electronic data transmissions 

of information normally associated with 

a required export document, such as a 

license or certificate, to facilitate the 

administration of quotas and ensure that 

the proper restraint levels are charged 

without being exceeded. New Zealand 

requested to participate in the eCERT 

process to comply with the United 

States’ tariff-rate quota for beef exported 

from New Zealand for importation into 

the United States. CBP has coordinated 

with New Zealand to implement the 

eCERT process, and now New Zealand 

is ready to participate in this process by 

transmitting its export certificates to 

CBP via eCERT. 

Foreign countries participating in 

eCERT transmit information via a global 

network service provider, which allows 

connectivity to CBP’s automated 

electronic system for commercial trade 

processing, the Automated Commercial 

Environment (ACE). Specific data 

elements are transmitted to CBP by the 

importer of record (or an authorized 

customs broker) when filing an entry 

summary with CBP, and those data 

elements must match eCERT data from 

the foreign country before an importer 

may claim any applicable in-quota tariff 

rate of duty. An importer may claim an 

in-quota tariff rate when merchandise is 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption, only if the information 

transmitted by the importer matches the 

information transmitted by the foreign 

government. If there is no transmission 

by the foreign government upon entry, 

an importer must claim the higher overquota tariff rate.1 An importer may 

subsequently claim the in-quota tariff 

rate under certain limited conditions.2

This document announces that New 

Zealand will be implementing the 

eCERT process for transmitting export 

certificates for beef entries subject to the 

tariff-rate quota. Imported merchandise 

that is entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

January 18, 2022, must match the 

eCERT transmission of an export 

certificate from New Zealand in order 

for an importer to claim the in-quota 

tariff rate. The transition to eCERT will 

not change the tariff-rate quota filing 

process or requirements. Importers will 

continue to provide the export 

certificate numbers from New Zealand 

in the same manner as when currently 

filing entry summaries with CBP. The 

format of the export certificate numbers 

will not change as a result of the 

transition to eCERT. CBP will reject 

entry summaries that claim an in-quota 

tariff rate when filed without a valid 

export certificate in eCERT.
