Overview of This Information 

Collection 

Title: Entry/Immediate Delivery 

Application and ACE Cargo Release. 

OMB Number: 1651–0024. 

Form Number: 3461 + 3461 ALT. 

Current Actions: Revision. 

Type of Review: Revision. 

Affected Public: Businesses. 

Abstract: All items imported into the 

United States are subject to examination 

before entering the commerce of the 

United States. There are two procedures 

available to affect the release of 

imported merchandise, including 

‘‘entry’’ pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1484, and 

‘‘immediate delivery’’ pursuant to 19 

U.S.C. 1448(b). Under both procedures, 

CBP Forms 3461, Entry/Immediate 

Delivery, and 3461 ALT are the source 

documents in the packages presented to 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP). 

The information collected on CBP 

Forms 3461 and 3461 ALT allow CBP 

officers to verify that the information 

regarding the consignee and shipment is 

correct and that a bond is on file with 

CBP. CBP also uses these forms to close 

out the manifest and to establish the 

obligation to pay estimated duties in the 

time period prescribed by law or 

regulation. CBP Form 3461 is also a 

delivery authorization document and is 

given to the importing carrier to 

authorize the release of the 

merchandise. 

CBP Forms 3461 and 3461 ALT are 

provided for by 19 CFR 142.3, 142.16, 

141.22, and 141.24. The forms and 

instructions for Form 3461 are 

accessible at: https://www.cbp.gov/ 

newsroom/publications/forms?title=

3461&=Apply. 

Ace Cargo Release (formerly referred 

to as ‘‘Simplified Entry’’) is a program 

for ACE entry summary filers in which 

importers or brokers may file ACE Cargo 

Release data in lieu of filing the CBP 

Form 3461. This data consists of 12 

required elements: importer of record; 

buyer name and address; buyer 

employer identification number 

(consignee number), seller name and 

address; manufacturer/supplier name 

and address; Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule 10-digit number; country of 

origin; bill of lading; house air waybill 

number; bill of lading issuer code; entry 

number; entry type; and estimated 

shipment value. There are also four 

optional data elements: the container 

stuffing location, consolidator name and 

address, ship to party name and 

address. There are three Global Business 

Identifier (GBI) identifiers available to 

filers: 20-digit Legal Entity Identifier 

(LEI), 9-digit Data Universal Numbering 

System (DUNS), and 13-digit Global 

Location Number (GLN). The GBI 

Identifiers can be inputted for any of the 

following parties: manufacturer/ 

producer, seller shipper, exporter, 

distributor or packager. The GBI 

identifiers are new optional data 

elements that are being collected to 

better identify the legal entity that is 

interacting with CBP as well as explore 

opportunities to enhance supply chain 

traceability and visibility in response to 

the growing complexity of global trade. 

The data collected under the ACE Cargo 

Release program is intended to reduce 

transaction costs, expedite cargo release, 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
3232 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 8 / Tuesday, January 14, 2025 / Notices 

and enhance cargo security. ACE Cargo 

Release filing minimizes the 

redundancy of data submitted by the 

filer to CBP through receiving carrier 

data from the carrier. This design allows 

the participants to file earlier in the 

transportation flow. Guidance on using 

ACE Cargo Release may be found at 

https://www.cbp.gov/trade/ace/features. 

It should be noted that ACE Cargo 

Release was previously called 

Simplified Entry. 

New Changes: 

1. Global Business Identifier (GBI): 

Collectively, the updates proposed 

below aim to enhance upstream supply 

chain traceability and visibility while 

addressing the increasing complexity of 

global trade supply chains. All 

participation and data submitted is 

voluntary. Find more details about GBI 

in the 1651–0141 GBI information 

collection. 

D The GBI Test is expanding the 

available supply chain entity party 

types from the original six optional 

parties (Manufacturer, Shipper, Seller, 

Exporter, Distributor, Packager), to 

include two new parties: 

‘‘Intermediary’’ and ‘‘Source,’’ along 

with optional free text fields that will 

allow filers to input additional 

descriptions and information about the 

specific party type. These party types 

would be made available in the GBI 

Enrollment database as well as the 

Automated Commercial Environment 

Cargo Release. 

D A modification within the Global 

Business Identifiers (GBI) Enrollment 

database will allow the trade to submit 

one or more of the unique GBI’s (the 

Legal Entity Identifier (LEI), Global 

Location Number (GLN), and Data 

Universal Numbering System (DUNS)) 

for a supply chain entity, as opposed to 

all three as previously approved and 

announced. Furthermore, a related 

programming update will enable trade 

participants the ability to modify or 

change a previous enrollment, including 

updating or adding additional GBI 

numbers. 

D CBP intends to expand the choices 

of identifiers available to filers over the 

duration of the Test, including those 

that at no cost to the government 

provide access to the underlying entity 

and product specific supply chain data 

associated with the identifier. This 

would enhance traceability for CBP 

which may translate to facilitation 

benefits and reduced industry costs. 

CBP has initiated programming requests 

in ACE to accommodate the intake of 

additional GBI identifier qualifiers. 

These changes are under development 

and there is no defined timeline for 

their completion. Specifically, CBP will 

begin by adding to the GBI Test the new 

Altana ID (ALTA) maintained by Altana 

Technologies, USG Inc. (Altana). The 

addition of the ALTA identifier 

alongside current and future GBI 

identifiers will widen participants’ 

choices and allow CBP to continue to 

evaluate the breadth and veracity of 

entity and supply chain information 

embedded within different types of 

identifier solutions already being 

leveraged by trade industry traceability 

stewards. It will also contribute to CBP’s 

ongoing exploration of how traced 

supply chain information may be 

ingested and operationalized for risk 

management and facilitation purposes. 

CBP will add any new identifiers into 

the collection and submit to OMB for 

approval as they are determined through 

a change request (Form 83–C). 

2. Russian Sanctions Executive Order 

14114: 

D New Data Elements are being added 

to comply with the Russian sanctions 

outlined in Executive Order 14114 

published on December 22, 2023. The 

data elements and burden are recorded 

in the supporting statement of the 1651– 

0NEW Russian Sanctions information 

collection package. 

3. Update to Form 3461/3461ALT 

Instructions: 

The instructions on the Form 3461/ 

3461 ALT have been updated to include 

the new Russian sanctions data 

elements and text field boxes, as well as 

being updated to improve user 

experience and clarity of the form. Find

changes outlined included with this 

package submission as supplementary
