Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 236 / Tuesday, December 9, 2014 / Notices
Background
CBP Forms I–94 (Arrival/Departure
Record) and I–94W (Nonimmigrant Visa
Waiver Arrival/Departure Record) are
used to document a traveler’s admission
into the United States. These forms are
filled out by aliens and are used to
collect information on citizenship,
residency, and contact information. The
data elements collected on these forms
enable the DHS to perform its mission
related to the screening of alien visitors
for potential risks to national security,
and the determination of admissibility
to the United States. The Electronic
System for Travel Authorization (ESTA)
applies to aliens traveling to the United
States under the Visa Waiver Program
(VWP) and requires that VWP travelers
provide information electronically to
CBP before embarking on travel to the
United States. Travelers who are
entering under the VWP in the air or sea

Recent and Proposed Changes
In response to the increasing concerns
regarding national security, DHS used
the emergency Paperwork Reduction
Act process to strengthen the security of
the VWP by adding data elements to
ESTA and to Form I–94W. DHS
determined that the addition of these
new data elements improves the
Department’s ability to screen
prospective VWP travelers while more
accurately and effectively identifying
those who pose a security risk to the
United States and facilitates
adjudication of ESTA applications.
The following data elements are either
new elements that were approved in the
emergency PRA submission or data
elements that were collected previously
that were changed from ‘‘optional’’ to
‘‘mandatory’’ on the ESTA application:

Other Names or Aliases ..........................................................................................................
Other Country of Citizenship ...................................................................................................
If yes, passport number on additional citizenship passport ....................................................
Home Address .........................................................................................................................
Parents .....................................................................................................................................
Current or Previous Job Title ...................................................................................................
Current or Previous Employer Name ......................................................................................
Current or Previous Employer Address ...................................................................................

U.S. Point of Contact Name ....................................................................................................
U.S. Point of Contact Address .................................................................................................
U.S. Point of Contact Email .....................................................................................................
U.S. Point of Contact Phone ...................................................................................................
City of Birth ..............................................................................................................................
National Identification Number .................................................................................................
Emergency Point of Contact Information Name ......................................................................
Emergency Point of Contact Information Email ......................................................................
Emergency Point of Contact Information Phone .....................................................................
Do you have a current or previous employer? ........................................................................
Is your travel to the U.S. occurring in transit to another country? ..........................................

For the following ‘‘mandatory’’ fields
ESTA applicants are permitted to enter
‘‘unknown,’’ if they do not have or
know the information, without
impeding the submission of their ESTA
application: City of Birth, Parents,
National Identification Number,
Emergency Contact Information, U.S.
Point of Contact information, and
Employer Address.
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 264(b) and
Executive Order 13295, as amended on
July 31, 2014, CBP proposes to revise
the question on quarantinable
communicable diseases as follows:

disorder; or are you a drug abuser or
addict; or currently have any of the
following diseases:

environment, and who have a travel
authorization obtained through ESTA,
are not required to complete the paper
Form I–94W.
Pursuant to an interim final rule
published on March 27, 2013 in the
Federal Register (78 FR 18457) related
to Form I–94, CBP has partially
automated the Form I–94 process. CBP
now gathers data previously collected
on the paper Form I–94 from existing
automated sources in lieu of requiring
passengers arriving by air or sea to
submit a paper I–94 upon arrival.
Passengers can access and print their
electronic I–94 via the Web site at
www.cbp.gov/I94.

soliciting comments concerning the
following information collection:
Title: Application to Use the
Automated Commercial Environment
(ACE).
OMB Number: 1651–0105.
Abstract: The Automated Commercial
Environment (ACE) is a trade processing
system that will eventually replace the
Automated Commercial System (ACS),
the current import system for U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
operations. ACE is authorized by
Executive Order 13659 which mandates
implementation of a Single Window for
trade. See 79 FR 10655 (February 25,
2014). ACE supports government
agencies and the trade community with
border-related missions with respect to
moving goods across the border
efficiently and securely. Once ACE is
fully implemented, all related CBP trade
functions and the trade community will
be supported from a single common
user interface.
Currently, ACE is used for imported
merchandise by brokers, carriers,
sureties, service providers, facility
operators, foreign trade zone operators,
cart men and lighter men. In order to
establish an ACE Portal account,
participants submit information such as
their name, their employer
identification number (EIN) or social
security number, and if applicable, a
statement certifying their capability to
connect to the Internet. This
information is submitted through the
ACE Secure Data Portal which is
accessible at: http://www.cbp.gov/trade/
automated.
CBP is proposing to add export
functionality to the system which will
allow participation from the exporter
community. Trade members wishing to
establish an exporter account will need
to submit the following data elements:
1. Account Type
a. ACE Portal Account User ID (if
applicable)
b. USPPI (yes/no)
c. Authorized Agent (yes/no)
d. Freight Forwarder (yes/no)
FMC License No (if applicable)
2. Company Information
a. EIN
b. DUNS
c. Company Name
d. Company Address
3. ACE Export Account Owner Information
a. Name
b. Date of Birth
c. Telephone Number
d. Fax Number
e. Email
f. Account Owner address if different from
Company Address
