7The step-by-step instructions to apply for an 

ACE Portal account are available online at https:// 

www.cbp.gov/trade/automated/getting-started/ 

portal-applying. 

8For more information about accessing, 

navigating, and personalizing ACE Reports, please 

review the ACE Reports Trainings online at https:// 

www.cbp.gov/trade/ace/training-and-referenceguides. 

9The Workspace Module is a window in ACE 

Reports that provides ACE account users access to 

their standard reports categorized by subject area 

(such as Cargo Release, Entry Summary, Manifest, 

etc.) and includes a navigation list (a folder 

structure of standard reports) and a viewer that 

displays the report selected. For additional 

information about the Workspace Module, please 

consult the specific ACE Report training at https:// 

www.cbp.gov/trade/ace/training-and-referenceguides or the quick reference card at https://

www.cbp.gov/document/guidance/ace-reports-qrcnavigating-workspace-module. 

10A new bill entry is added to a 612 Report when 

a bill owed to CBP has not been paid and is more 

than 30 days past due (approximately 60 days after 

the initial bill date). CBP generates and mails the 

612 Report to the surety at the beginning of every 

month, and each bill listed will remain on the 612 

Report until that bill is paid or otherwise closed. 

19 CFR 24.3a(d)(2)(i). 

11CBP will discontinue the option for sureties to 

request, through CBP’s Office of Finance, Revenue 

Division, the regular emailing of 612 Report data 

packets, as of May 1, 2022. The downloadable data 

packets are a function of ACS, which will become 

obsolete, and the existence of the option to 

electronically view 612 Reports supersedes the 

emailing of data packets (as the same information 

will be downloadable from ACE). 

12CBP will provide any needed support for 

setting up ACE Portal accounts. See supra footnotes 

7–9 for more information about creating ACE Portal 

accounts, navigating ACE Reports, and accessing 

612 Reports in the Workspace Module. 

13CBP assigns bills a specific number that 

corresponds to a bill as it existed at a specific point 

in time. Bills change due to recalculation of 

interest, partial payment, etc. and CBP updates the 

bill version number when a bill changes. For 612 

Reports, the ‘‘Bill Version #’’ will correspond to the 

bill as it existed at the time that the mailed 612 

Report was generated. 

administrative protest is associated with 

an open, unpaid bill, then the following 

data elements will be included in the 

report: The protest number, the date of 

filing of the protest, the processing 

status of the protest, and the date of 

CBP’s decision on the protest (if 

applicable). All of the new data 

elements will be included in additional 

columns added to the unpaid, open bill 

details report in ACE Reports and will 

be updated within one business day 

after the initial processing of sanction 

status and/or the relevant administrative 

protest information. It is important to 

note that any mailed or electronically 

communicated information provided by 

CBP regarding the sanction status and 

protest details may supersede the 

information appearing in ACE Reports. 

Only members of the public who have 

an ACE Portal account can view their 

unpaid, open bill details report in ACE 

Reports, which will include the new 

information applicable to sanction 

status and protest details as of March 

21, 2022. CBP encourages affected 

members of the public (including, but 

not limited to, importers of record and 

licensed customs brokers) who do not 

already have an ACE Portal account to 

apply for access to be able to view the 

necessary data to make timely bill 

payments.7 CBP will provide any 

needed support for setting up ACE 

Portal accounts. The public may access 

the ACE Reports application through the 

ACE Secure Data Portal at https://

ace.cbp.dhs.gov.8 Within ACE Reports, 

ACE account users may navigate to and 

access their unpaid, open bill details 

reports in the Workspace Module.9

B. Benefits for Sureties 

1. Availability of an Option for Sureties 

to Electronically View 612 Reports in 

ACE 

Currently, CBP mails to sureties the 

612 Reports, which are a monthly listing 

of open delinquent bills by importer 

name.10 The 612 Reports constitute the 

Formal Demand on Surety for Payment 

of Delinquent Amounts Due, as required 

by 19 CFR 24.3a(d)(2). Each 612 Report 

contains certain information, such as 

the bill number and principal amount 

due, to allow sureties to identify and 

track their obligations. Id. In addition to 

mailing 612 Reports, CBP makes 

available to sureties the ability to 

request and receive via email a 

downloadable copy of the raw data 

underlying the most recent 612 Report 

sent to them by mail. 

As part of Release 5, CBP will make 

available to sureties an option to 

electronically view 612 Reports in ACE 

(in lieu of CBP emailing this 

information to sureties).11 This new 

option will, inter alia, reduce the 

amount of time sureties spend manually 

identifying and tracking their 

obligations to CBP, and will allow 

sureties to access their report at any 

time of the month, eliminating the 

constraint of having access to the data 

the first day it is generated. Moreover, 

this new option will significantly 

reduce the current burden on CBP 

associated with the emailing of the 612 

Reports to the respective sureties. The 

default data presented in the electronic 

612 Report will be for the most recent 

month’s mailed 612 Report. Sureties 

will also be able to view data from, at 

a minimum, three previous monthly 

electronic 612 Reports, but such data 

will not remain available indefinitely in 

ACE. 

The electronic 612 Reports will only 

update on, approximately, the first day 

of every month to ensure the data 

appearing in the electronic 612 Reports 

will match the data appearing in the 

mailed 612 Reports. The data elements 

appearing in the electronic 612 Reports 

will be the same as the data elements 

appearing in the mailed 612 Reports, 

including the new element described 

below. 

It is important to note that CBP will 

continue its current processes for 

mailing the 612 Reports, which remain 

the official notice to sureties as required 

by 19 CFR 24.3a(d). Information and 

data that appear on the mailed 612 

Report will supersede the data elements 

that appear in the electronic 612 

Reports, and sureties should continue to 

consult the mailed 612 Reports to 

determine the extent of their legal 

obligations. Moreover, only sureties 

who have an ACE Portal account will be 

able to view their electronic 612 Reports 

that will be available in ACE Reports 

beginning on May 1, 2022. CBP 

encourages sureties who do not already 

have an ACE Portal account to apply for 

access to be able to electronically view 

their 612 Reports.12

2. Minor Modifications to the 

Information in and Appearance of the 

Mailed 612 Reports 

As part of Release 5, there will be 

minor modifications to the information 

in and appearance of the mailed 612 

Report. The mailed 612 Report will 

continue to have the same structure and 

provide the same information as it does 

now, but CBP will add a new data 

element and column, the ‘‘Bill Version 

#’’, which is intended to help sureties 

track whether a certain bill’s 

information is current.13 In addition, the 

mailed 612 Report will no longer be 

printed on paper with a green bar. 

Instead, as of May 1, 2022, the mailed 

612 Report will be printed on more 

common legal landscape paper.

Type of Review: New. 

Affected Public: Individuals. 

Abstract: In accordance with 5 CFR 

339.301, Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) performs pre-employment 

medical evaluations on all candidates 

tentatively selected to fill positions that 

include a medical requirement, such as 

the CBP Officer and Border Patrol Agent 

positions. During that evaluation 

process, CBP collects medically relevant 

information about the candidate from: 

The candidate, CBP’s contracted 

medical providers, and/or the 

candidate’s personal medical and 

mental health providers. 

In accordance with 5 CFR 339.305, 

CBP makes all medical documentation 

and records of examination available to 

the candidates. Candidates can request 

copies of their pre-employment medical 

examination results and supporting 

documentation/records by email or 

letter. Due to the sensitive nature of the 

information being released, CBP 

requires that candidates complete and 

sign a privacy release authorization 

form in order to receive a copy of their 

medical documents. CBP will only share 

medical information directly with the 

candidate, or with a third party when 

authorized to do so in writing by the 

candidate. 

No specific information is needed to 

request copies of candidates’ medical 

documents in writing. When completing 

the release form, candidates must

name, partial Social Security Number 

(SSN#), Date of Birth, Current Address, 

Email Address, Phone Number; as well 

as specifying the type of medical 

records to be released (hearing test 

results, vision test results, etc.). 

This information is used by CBP as 

confirmation that the agency has the 

candidate’s signed authorization to 

provide medically related records about 

the candidate. A copy of that signed 

authorization and the records released 

are retained within the candidate’s preemployment file. 

Type of Information Collection: 

Medical Records Release Privacy Act
