1651-AA98 201410 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1651 U.S. Customs and Border Protection USCBP 1600 Department of Homeland Security DHS Amendments to Importer Security Filing and Additional Carrier Requirements

The Importer Security Filing (ISF) regulations require carriers and importers to provide to CBP, via a CBP-approved electronic data interchange system, information necessary to assist CBP in identifying high-risk shipments to prevent smuggling and ensure cargo safety and security. Importers and carriers must currently submit specified information before the cargo is brought into the United States by vessel in accordance with specified time frames. To increase the accuracy and reliability of the advance information, this rule will propose changes to the ISF regulations.

]]> Other Significant Previously Published in The Unified Agenda Proposed Rule Stage Undetermined No 19 CFR 4.7c 19 CFR 149.1 PL 109-347, sec 203 5 USC 301 19 USC 66 19 USC 1431 19 USC 1433 19 USC 1434 19 USC 1624 19 USC 2071 (note) 46 USC 60105 Yes

Since 2009 CBP has collected advance data elements from importers and carriers carrying cargo to the United States by vessel. CBP uses these data to target incoming cargo and prevent dangerous or otherwise illegal cargo from arriving in the United States. To increase the accuracy and reliability of this information CBP intends to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking that proposes some changes to the current importer security filing regulations. This rule is needed to provide CBP with additional data that are needed to conduct security screening and to ensure that the party with the best access to the data is the party responsible for providing this information to CBP.

CBP anticipates that this rule will result in a cost to ISF importers to submit the additional data to CBP and a security benefit resulting from improved targeting.
