involving criminal records, and before
making a final eligibility decision, TSA
will advise the applicant that the FBI
criminal record discloses information
that would disqualify him or her from
the TSA PreTM Trusted Traveler
Program.
Within 30 days after being advised
that the criminal record received from
the FBI discloses a disqualifying
criminal offense, the applicant must
notify TSA in writing of his or her
intent to correct any information he or
she believes to be inaccurate. The
applicant must provide a certified
revised record, or the appropriate court
must forward a certified true copy of the
information, prior to TSA approving
eligibility of the applicant for the TSA
PreTM Trusted Traveler Program. With
respect to immigration records, within
30 days after being advised that the
immigration records indicate that the
applicant is ineligible for the TSA PreTM
Trusted Traveler Program, the applicant
must notify TSA in writing of his or her
intent to correct any information
believed to be inaccurate. TSA will
review any information submitted and
make a final decision. If neither
notification nor a corrected record is
received by TSA, TSA may make a final
determination to deny eligibility.
Individuals who TSA determines are
ineligible for the TSA PreTM Trusted
Traveler Program will continue to be
screened at airport security checkpoints
in the same manner as they would have
been had they not applied for the
program.
The TSA PreTM Trusted Traveler
Program will enhance aviation security
by permitting TSA to better focus its
limited security resources on passengers
who are more likely to pose a threat to
civil aviation, while also facilitating and
improving the commercial aviation
travel experience for the public.
Travelers who choose not to enroll in
this initiative are not subject to any
limitations on their travel because of
their choice; they will be processed
through normal TSA screening before
entering the sterile areas of airports.
TSA also retains the authority to
perform random screening on TSA
PreTM Trusted Traveler Program
members and any other travelers
authorized for expedited physical
screening.
For the initial six months of the
program, TSA intends to pilot a limited
number of enrollment sites and then
add additional locations over time; TSA
estimates approximately 88,111
respondents will participate in the pilot.
Assuming full program rollout following
the pilot phase, TSA estimates in the
first year following the pilot there will

be approximately 383,131 respondents.
TSA estimates the total burden to be
27,466 hours for the pilot, and 119,430
hours in the year following the pilot.
TSA will establish a TSA PreTM
Trusted Traveler Program Fee of $85.00
for the TSA PreTM Trusted Traveler
Program. This fee will be collected to
fund selected activities of the program.
As described above, the DHS
Appropriations Act of 2006 permits
TSA to impose fees for the TSA PreTM
Trusted Traveler Program by notice.
This notice will be published separately
in the Federal Register.
Dated: June 16, 2013.

known as the Document Image System
(DIS) test, and entry capability, known
as the Simplified Entry (SE) test. The
DIS test allows certain Automated
Commercial Environment (ACE)
participants to submit electronic images
of a specific set of CBP and partner
government agency forms and
supporting information to CBP via a
CBP- approved Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI). The second phase of
the DIS test expands the eligible forms
supported by the test as well as
participant eligibility and when forms
may be transmitted. CBP hopes that
these modifications make the DIS more
user-friendly. The SE test simplifies the
entry process by reducing the number of
data elements required to obtain release
for cargo transported by air. This notice
modifies the SE test to allow for certain
data elements to be transmitted via the
DIS. This notice provides DIS test
details including commencement date
for the second phase, eligibility,
procedural and documentation
requirements, and test development and
evaluation methods.
DATES: The modified DIS test will
commence no earlier than July 23, 2013
and will continue until concluded by
way of announcement in the Federal
Register. Comments concerning this
notice and any aspect of the test may be
submitted at any time during the test to
the address set forth below.
ADDRESSES: Comments concerning this
notice should be submitted via email to
Monica Crockett at
[email protected]. In the
subject line of your email, please
indicate ‘‘Comment on Document Image
System (DIS)’’.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
policy-related questions, contact Monica
Crockett at

technical questions related to ABI
transmissions, contact your assigned
client representative. Any partner
government agency (PGA) interested in
participating in DIS should contact

Modification of Two National Customs
Automation Program (NCAP) Tests
Concerning Automated Commercial

Security.
ACTION: General notice.

certain Automated Commercial
Environment (ACE) participants to
submit electronic images of a specific
set of CBP and partner government
agency (PGA, previously referred to as
participating government agency) forms
and supporting information to CBP.
Specifically, importers and brokers are
allowed to submit specified official CBP
documents and specified PGA forms via
a CBP-approved Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) (please see Section V,
‘‘Technical Specifications,’’ below for
details).
On November 8, 2011, CBP published
in the Federal Register a notice
announcing an NCAP test concerning
ACE Simplified Entry (SE test). See 76
FR 69755. The SE test established new
entry capability to simplify the entry
process for cargo transported by air by
reducing the number of data elements
required to obtain release. This data
fulfills merchandise entry requirements
which allow for earlier release decisions
and more certainty for the importer in
determining the logistics of cargo
delivery. The SE test is currently open
to Type 01 and Type 11 consumption
entries filed in the air transportation
mode only. This notice modifies the SE
test to allow supporting documents to
be transmitted through the DIS.
The NCAP was established in Subtitle
B of Title VI—Customs Modernization,
in the North American Free Trade
Agreement Implementation Act (Pub. L.
103–182, 107 Stat. 2057, 2170,
December 8, 1993) (Customs
Modernization Act). See 19 U.S.C. 1411.
Through NCAP, the initial thrust of
customs modernization was on trade
compliance and the development of
ACE, the planned successor to the
Automated Commercial System (ACS).
ACE is an automated and electronic
system for commercial trade processing
which is intended to streamline
business processes, facilitate growth in
trade, ensure cargo security, and foster
participation in global commerce, while
ensuring compliance with U.S. laws and
regulations and reducing costs for CBP
and all of its communities of interest.
The ability to meet these objectives
depends on successfully modernizing
CBP’s business functions and the
information technology that supports
those functions. CBP’s modernization
efforts are accomplished through phased
releases of ACE component
functionality designed to introduce new
functionality or to replace a specific
legacy ACS function. Each release will
begin with a test and will end with
mandatory compliance with the new
ACE feature, thus retiring the legacy
ACS function. Each release builds on
