Environment 

AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection, Department of Homeland 

Security. 

ACTION: Delay of transition of test 

program. 

SUMMARY: On August 16, 2017, U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register announcing plans to make the 

Automated Commercial Environment 

(ACE) the sole electronic data 

interchange (EDI) system authorized by 

the Commissioner of CBP for processing 

electronic Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) 

admission applications. The changes 

announced in that notice were to 

become operational on September 16, 

2017. This notice announces that the 

date for the transition to ACE as the sole 

CBP-authorized EDI system for 

electronic FTZ admission applications 

is delayed until December 9, 2017. 

DATES: As of December 9, 2017, ACE 

will be the sole CBP-authorized EDI 

system for processing electronic FTZ 

admission applications, and the 

Automated Commercial System (ACS) 

will no longer be a CBP-authorized EDI 

system for purposes of processing these 

filings. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

operational questions, contact Lydia 

Jackson, Cargo & Conveyance Security, 

Office of Field Operations, U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection, via email at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

16, 2017, U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) published a notice in 

the Federal Register (82 FR 38923) 

announcing plans to make the 

Automated Commercial Environment 

(ACE) the sole electronic data 

interchange (EDI) system authorized by 

the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) for processing 

electronic Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) 

admission applications, as of September 

16, 2017. The document also announced 

that, on September 16, 2017, the 

Automated Commercial System (ACS) 

would no longer be a CBP-authorized 

EDI system for purposes of processing 

these electronic filings. Further, the 

document announced that the test 

program would be extended until a 

decision is reached to implement the 

program on a permanent basis and/or to 

conclude the test. Finally, the notice 

clarified that the list of data elements 

required for the electronic FTZ 

admission application must include the 

‘‘Zone ID,’’ and reminded test 

participants that they must provide the 

data elements ‘‘Steel Import License 

Number’’ and ‘‘Kimberley Process 

Certificate Number’’ to CBP. 

CBP has been assessing stakeholder 

readiness for the mandatory transition 

of electronic FTZ admission 

applications from ACS to ACE. CBP has 

determined that industry partners need 

additional time to prepare for the 

transition to electronic capabilities in 

ACE. 

Accordingly, all the changes 

announced in the August 16, 2017 

Federal Register notice, including the 

transition to ACE as the sole CBPauthorized EDI system for electronic 

FTZ admission applications, will not be 

operational until December 9, 2017. 

Dated: September 11, 2017.

USCIS–2008–0007 in the search box. 

Regardless of the method used for 

submitting comments or material, all 

submissions will be posted, without 

change, to the Federal eRulemaking 

Portal at http://www.regulations.gov, 

and will include any personal 

information you provide. Therefore,

viewing that it determines may impact

offensive. For additional information, 

please read the Privacy Act notice that 

is available via the link in the footer of

Written comments and suggestions 

from the public and affected agencies 

should address one or more of the 

following four points: 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(1) Type of Information Collection: 

Revision of a Currently Approved 

Collection. 

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: 

Application to File Declaration of 

Intention. 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the DHS 

sponsoring the collection: N–300; 

USCIS. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: Individuals or 

households. The Form N–300 is used by 

lawful permanent residents to file a 

Declaration of Intention to become a 

United States citizen (‘‘Declaration of 

Intention’’). Although the Declaration of 

Intention is not required for 

naturalization, some lawful permanent 

residents find it necessary to file Form 

N–300 to fulfill requirements of states 

that mandate specific documentation 

from resident aliens seeking to work in 

certain occupations or professions, or to 

obtain various licenses. The Form N– 

300 facilitates this process. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: The estimated total number of 

respondents for the information 

collection N–300 is 18 and the 

estimated hour burden per response is 

.75 hours. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The total estimated annual 

hour burden associated with this 

collection is 13.5 hours. 

(7) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in cost) associated with the 

collection: The estimated total annual 

cost burden associated with this 

collection of information is $508.50.
