Yes, it affects Form I–601, 

Application for Waiver of Grounds of 

Inadmissibility, Form I–864 and Form I–

864EZ, Affidavit of Support under 

section 213A of the Act, or Form I–

864W, Intending Immigrant’s Affidavit 

of Support Exemption, when filed in 

connection with a Hague Adoption 

Convention case. When submitted with 

a Form I–800 these forms must be filed 

beginning on September 25, 2008 with 

the USCIS Chicago Lockbox facility 

address listed below. 

II. Explanation of Changes 

A. Does this notice make any changes 

relating to the eligibility of a prospective 

adoptive parent’s suitability to adopt a 

child from a convention country or 

changes to the eligibility of a convention 

adoptee to be classified as an immediate 

relative? 

No. This Notice only changes the 

filing location for these applications. 

These forms, previously filed at USCIS 

offices world-wide, will now be filed 

under the Direct Mail Program at the 

USCIS Chicago Lockbox facility for 

initial processing. 

B. Should I file Forms I–600A and/or I–

600 under the new Direct Mail Program? 

No. If you reside in the United States 

continue to file Form I–600A, 

Application for Advance Processing of 

Orphan Petition and Form I–600, 

Petition to Classify Orphan as an 

Immediate Relative, with the local 

USCIS office with jurisdiction over your 

place of residence. If you live outside 

the United States, you should consult 

the nearest American consulate or 

embassy for the overseas or stateside 

USCIS office designated to act on the 

application. 

C. Will USCIS change the form 

instructions to Forms I–800A and I–800? 

Yes. USCIS is currently amending the 

filing locations on the instructions to 

Forms I–800A and I–800, as well as the 

procedures listed on the USCIS Web site 

to reflect the new filing address. 

D. If I live outside of the United States, 

can I file the Forms I–800A or I–800 at 

a USCIS overseas office, or an American 

consulate or embassy? 

No. You must file Forms I–800A and 

I–800 at the USCIS Chicago Lockbox 

facility. Although 8 CFR 204.308(b) 

provides that Form I–800 may be filed 

at the visa-issuing post when permitted 

in the form’s instructions, centralized 

processing affords more efficiency for 

both USCIS and prospective adoptive 

parents. Accordingly, you will need to 

file the Form I–800 at the USCIS 

Chicago Lockbox facility for centralized 

processing. USCIS will no longer permit 

filing the form elsewhere. 

E. To what address should I mail Forms 

I–800A, I–800, and related supplements 

and forms? 

Beginning on September 25, 2008, 

you must file Forms I–800A, I–800 and 

their supplements with all supporting 

documentation to the following address: 

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration 

Services, 

P.O. Box 805695, 

Chicago, IL 60680–4118. 

If you are also filing Hague related 

Forms I–601, I–864, I–864EZ, or I–864W 

with Form I–800, you must also send 

these forms to the above Lockbox 

address. 

F. What will happen to incorrectly filed 

Forms I–800A, I–800, and related 

supplements and forms covered by this 

notice? 

USCIS will forward forms filed 

incorrectly to the USCIS Chicago 

Lockbox facility address ONLY for the 

first 30 days following the effective date 

of this notice, including the filing of 

Hague related Forms I–601, I–864, I–

864EZ, or I–864W, which are covered by 

this notice. 

After the 30-day transition period, 

USCIS will return any Form I–800 or I–

800A, and related supplements and 

forms, mailed to a USCIS office other 

than the USCIS Chicago Lockbox facility 

address to the applicant with an 

explanation directing the applicant to 

mail the application directly to the 

USCIS Chicago Lockbox facility address 

for processing. 

G. Will the fees change with this notice? 

No. The application fees will remain 

the same as provided on the form 

instructions for Forms I–800A and I–

800. 

H. Paperwork Reduction Act 

This rule does not impose any new 

reporting or recordkeeping 

requirements. The Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

previously approved the use of these 

information collections. The OMB 

control numbers for Forms I–800 and I–

800A are contained in 8 CFR 299.5, 

Display of control numbers. USCIS will 

provide the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) with a copy of the 

amended form and OMB 83C

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

I. ACE Test Programs 

A. ACE Portal Accounts 

On May 1, 2002, the former U.S. 

Customs Service, now U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP), published a 

General Notice in the Federal Register 

(67 FR 21800) announcing a plan to 

conduct a National Customs 

Automation Program (NCAP) test of the 

first phase of the Automated 

Commercial Environment (ACE). The 

test was described as the first step 

toward the full electronic processing of 

commercial importations with a focus 

on defining and establishing an 

importer’s account structure. The notice 

announced that importers and 

authorized parties would be allowed to 

access their customs data via a Webbased Account Portal. The notice set 

forth eligibility criteria for companies 

interested in establishing Account 

Portals accessible through ACE. 

Subsequent General Notices revised 

the eligibility criteria (see General 

Notice published in the Federal 

Register on February 1, 2005 (67 FR 

5199)) and expanded the universe of 

eligible participants in the ACE test and 

the types of ACE Portal Accounts. On 

February 4, 2004, CBP published two 

General Notices in the Federal Register, 

establishing ACE Truck Carrier 

Accounts and opening the application 

period for authorized importers and 

their designated brokers to participate in 

the NCAP test implementing the 

Periodic Monthly Statement (PMS) 

process (see 69 FR 5360 and 69 FR 5362, 

respectively). Brokers were invited to 

establish Broker Accounts in ACE in 

order to participate in the NCAP test to 

implement PMS. In both of the February 

4, 2004 General Notices, CBP advised 

participants that they could designate 

only one person as the Account Owner 

for the company’s ACE Portal Account. 

The Account Owner was identified as 

the party responsible for safeguarding 

the company’s ACE Portal Account 

information, controlling all disclosures 

of that information to authorized 

persons, authorizing user access to the 

ACE Portal Account information, and 

ensuring the strict control of access by 

authorized persons to the ACE Portal 

information. 

On September 8, 2004, CBP published 

a General Notice in the Federal Register 

(69 FR 54302) inviting customs brokers 

to participate in the ACE Portal test 

generally and informing interested 

parties that once they had been notified 

by CBP that their request to participate 

in the ACE Portal test had been 

accepted, they would be asked to sign 

and submit a Terms and Conditions 

document. CBP subsequently contacted 

those participants and asked them to 

also sign and submit an ACE Power of 

Attorney form and an Additional 

Account/Account Owner Information 

form. 

B. Terms and Conditions for Access to 

the ACE Portal 

On May 16, 2007, CBP published a 

General Notice in the Federal Register 

(72 FR 27632) announcing a revision of 

the terms and conditions that must be 

followed as a condition for access to the 

ACE Portal. These terms and conditions 

superseded and replaced the Terms and 

Conditions document previously signed 

and submitted to CBP by ACE Portal 

Trade Account Owners. The notice 

specified that no further action would 

be required by ACE Portal Trade 

Account Owners for those ACE Portal 

Accounts already established with CBP 

with the proper Account Owner listed. 

The principal changes to the ACE Terms 

and Conditions included a revised 

definition of ‘‘Account Owner’’ to 

permit either an individual or a legal 

entity to serve in this capacity, new 

requirements relating to providing 

notice to CBP when there has been a 

material change in the status of the 

Account and/or Trade Account Owner, 

and explanatory provisions as to how 

the information from a particular 

account may be accessed through the 

ACE Portal when that account is 

transferred to a new owner. 

On July 7, 2008, CBP published a 

General Notice in the Federal Register 

(73 FR 38464) which revised the terms 

and conditions set forth in the May 16, 

2007, notice regarding the period of 

Portal inactivity which will result in 

termination of access to the ACE Portal. 

The July 7, 2008, notice provided that 

if forty-five (45) consecutive days elapse 

without an Account Owner, Proxy 

Account Owner, or an Account user 

accessing the ACE Portal, access to the 

Portal will be terminated. The time 

period for allowable Portal inactivity 

previously was ninety (90) days. 

C. ACE Non-Portal Accounts 

CBP has also permitted certain parties 

to participate in specified ACE tests 

without establishing ACE Portal 

Accounts (’’Non-Portal Accounts’’). On 

October 24, 2005, CBP published a 

General Notice in the Federal Register 

(70 FR 61466) announcing that 

importers could establish ACE NonPortal Accounts and participate in the 

PMS test under certain conditions. On 

March 29, 2006, CBP published another 

General Notice in the Federal Register 

(71 FR 15756) announcing that truck 

carriers that do not have ACE Truck 

Carrier Accounts may use third parties 

to transmit truck manifest information 

on their behalf electronically in the ACE 

Truck Manifest system via Electronic 

Data Interface (EDI) messaging. 

D. New ACE Entry Summary, Accounts 

and Revenue (ESAR I) Capabilities 

On October 18, 2007, CBP published 

a General Notice in the Federal Register 

(see 72 FR 59105) announcing CBP’s 

plan to conduct a new test concerning 

ACE Entry Summary, Accounts and 

Revenue (ESAR) capabilities, providing 

enhanced account management 

functions for ACE Portal Accounts and 

expanding the universe of ACE account 

types. This General Notice is commonly 

referred to as ESAR I. 

As stated in that notice, ACE is now 

the lead system for CBP-required master 

data elements (e.g., company name, 

address, and point of contact) as well as 

related reference files (e.g., country 

code, port code, manufacturer ID, and 

gold currency exchange rate and 

conversion calculator). See ACE 

Systems of Record Notice, published in 

the Federal Register on January 19, 

2006 (71 FR 3109). This means that the 

creation and maintenance of specified 

master data elements will originate in 

ACE and will be distributed to other 

CBP systems such as the Automated 

Commercial System (ACS).

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 26, 2008 / Notices 50339 

In addition to announcing that 

importer Portal Accounts are capable of 

creating and maintaining specified 

importer data via the ACE Portal, the 

notice stated that filers have the ability 

to create a new CBP Form 5106 

(Importer ID Input Record) via the ACE 

Portal or the Automated Broker Interface 

(ABI), and view applicable Participating 

Government Agency (PGA) licenses, 

permits and certificates via the ACE 

Portal. Through this notice, Broker 

Portal Accounts were provided the 

capability through the ACE Portal of 

maintaining organizational demographic 

data (e.g., addresses, points of contact, 

etc.), license and permit qualifiers, data 

on managing officials, employee lists, 

information on relationships to 

individual licensed brokers, points of 

contact and address information (at filer 

code level for each local broker permit 

and each port covered by the local 

permit, and for the national broker 

permit). Truck Carrier Portal Accounts 

were provided the capability through 

the ACE Portal to view any applicable 

PGA licenses, permits and certificates, 

and to maintain through the ACE Portal 

addresses and points of contact and preregistered truck conveyance 

information, including equipment, 

shipper, and consignee data. Truck 

Carrier Portal Accounts were also 

provided with the ability to create and 

maintain driver accounts and search for 

and correlate existing driver accounts to 

their Carrier Account. Finally, the 

notice also announced the expansion of 

Portal Account Types to now include: 

Carriers (all modes: air, rail, sea); 

cartman; lighterman; driver/crew; 

facility operator; filer; foreign trade zone 

(FTZ) operator; service provider; and 

surety. 

II. Test Concerning New ACE Entry 

Summary, Accounts and Revenue 

(ESAR II) Capabilities 

A. In General 

This document announces CBP’s plan 

to conduct a new test concerning ACE 

Entry Summary, Accounts and Revenue 

(ESAR II) capabilities that will provide 

new Portal and EDI capabilities specific 

to Entry Summary filing and processing 

of consumption and informal entries. 

Functionality will include ABI Census 

Warning Overrides and issuance of CBP 

requests for information and notices of 

action through the ACE Portal. New 

functionality will enhance Portal 

Account Management and allow for 

ACE Secure Data Portal reporting. 

Initially, this release of ESAR II will 

be limited only to formal entries, 

commonly referred to in the Automated 

Commercial System (ACS) as type 01 

entries, and informal entries, commonly 

referred to in ACS as type 11 entries. 

Functionality for other entry types will 

be implemented as it becomes available 

and will be announced via subsequent 

publication in the Federal Register. 

Interested ABI participants wishing to 

submit type 01 and 11 entries for this 

test are asked to provide CBP with the 

number of expected ACE entry 

summaries that will be submitted to the 

ports listed in this notice within 60 days 

of publication of this notice (see Part IV 

below). 

B. Portal Capability 

1. Forms and Documents 

CBP Forms 28, 29, and 4647 issued 

for ACE entry summaries will be posted 

to a participating importer’s ACE Portal 

Account. Participating importer and 

broker ACE Portal Accounts may select 

a preferred method of communication 

with CBP with regard to the receipt of 

CBP Form 28, Request for Information, 

CBP Form 29, Notice of Action Taken, 

and CBP Form 4647, Notice to Mark 

and/or Notices to Redeliver, that are 

issued for ACE entry summaries. 

Communication may be done 

electronically through the Portal or by 

paper or via both methods. 

Additionally, an importer Portal 

Account whose entry summaries will be 

filed by an ACE test participant may 

respond to CBP forms through the ACE 

Secure Data Portal by interactively 

completing the form and uploading 

additional supporting documentation or 

images, as needed. Importers and/or 

participating test filers should also note 

that forms may be saved in draft form 

prior to submission to CBP. However, 

once sent, the document cannot be 

changed. A print option will also be 

available for those participants choosing 

to print the form and then mail it to 

CBP. 

2. Declarations 

Participating importer, broker, and 

carrier Portal Account types will be able 

to maintain certain declarations in the 

ACE Secure Data Portal. Those 

declarations may be communicated to 

CBP through that Portal. The system 

will not yet allow submission of these 

declarations for particular entry 

summaries, but will allow 

communication in response to CBP 

requests. Declarations that will be 

supported via the Portal include the 

following: Affidavits of manufacturers; 

North American Free Trade Agreement 

(NAFTA) Certificates of Origin; NonReimbursement Blanket Statements 

(Anti-Dumping/Countervailing Duty 

(AD/CVD)); certain marking rulings; and 

importer certifying statements. 

3. Reports 

ACE Secure Data Portal Reports will 

be enhanced to include ACE Entry 

Summary Data. 

C. EDI Capability 

1. Entry Summary 

Approved trade participants may 

begin to file entry summaries 

electronically in ACE for entry types 01 

and 11 using a better organized, more 

descriptive ACE ABI CATAIR (Customs 

and Trade Automated Interface 

Requirements) document. CATAIR 

documentation provides complete 

information describing how importers 

and/or their agents provide electronic 

import information to ABI, and receive 

transmissions from ABI once they have 

become a participant. 

2. Cargo Release 

Filers may also initiate cargo release 

from a certified entry summary filed in 

ACE. 

3. Census Warnings 

Census warnings may be 

electronically overridden for ACE entry 

summaries prior to or after receiving a 

Census warning message through ABI. 

There will also be an ACE Census 

Warning ABI Query for unresolved 

warnings. Interested parties should go to 

CBP.gov for more detailed information 

regarding these new ACE ABI CATAIR 

formats. 

4. Automated Invoice Interface (AII) and 

Reconciliation 

ACE entry summaries may be flagged 

for AII and reconciliation. 

5. ABI Status Messages 

The ACE Entry Summary Status 

Notification message will contain the 

following status information regarding 

an action CBP has manually executed 

for an ACE entry summary: 

• Request for Electronic Invoice Data. 

• Entry Summary Documentation. 

• Entry Summary Reject. 

• Entry Summary Inactivated. 

• Entry Summary Canceled. 

Interested parties should go to 

CBP.gov for more detailed information 

regarding these new ACE ABI CATAIR 

formats. 

The ABI Status message will contain 

an Action Identification Number that is 

a unique number assigned by ACE to 

identify the specific action or request to 

correlate trade responses to the initial 

CBP request.

6. Reporting of the Ultimate Consignee 

Number 

The ultimate consignee number must 

be reported for each entry summary line. 

When the importer of record and the 

ultimate consignee number are the 

same, the number must appear on each 

line; the word ‘‘SAME’’ may not be 

used. 

III. Eligibility Requirements 

Importer and broker volunteers 

wishing to benefit from Portal 

functionality available in this test must 

have an ACE Portal Account (see notices 

referenced above relating to the 

establishment of ACE Portal Accounts). 

Volunteers may also participate as NonPortal Accounts, but they will not be 

able to avail themselves of all 

functionality offered. 

ABI volunteers wishing to participate 

in this test must: 

• File entries on a Statement, i.e., no 

non-statement, single pay entry 

summaries will be allowed. 

• Use a software package that has 

completed ABI certification testing for 

ACE (NOTE: software providers need 

not reply to this Notice but should 

contact their client representative if they 

are interested in ABI certification testing 

for ACE). 

All data submitted and entered into 

the ACE Portal is subject to the Trade 

Secrets Act (18 U.S.C. 1905) and is 

considered confidential, except to the 

extent as otherwise provided by law (see 

19 U.S.C. 1431(c)). 

As stated in previous notices, 

participation in this or any of the 

previous ACE tests is not confidential 

and upon a written Freedom of 

Information Act request, a name(s) of an 

approved participant(s) will be 

disclosed by CBP in accordance with 5 

U.S.C. 552. 

If necessary, CBP will reserve the 

right to limit the number of participants 

and locations during the initial stages of 

the test. 

IV. Implementation of the Test

• Policy and procedure 

accommodation. 

• Trade compliance impact. 

• Problem resolution. 

• System efficiency. 

• Operational efficiency. 

• Other issues identified by the 

participant group.
