aluminum product, if required by law
and/or Presidential Proclamation.1
D Importers will be required to report
on the Form 7501 the steel country of
melt and pour and aluminum countries
of smelt and cast for imports under
those steel and aluminum HTS
classifications subject to the Commerce
Department’s steel and aluminum
import license applications, and where
applicable, the section 232 steel and
aluminum measures.
These data fields will substantially
align the Form 7501 reporting
requirements with the Commerce
Department’s existing reporting
requirements for steel melt and pour
and aluminum smelt and cast countries
for steel and aluminum import license
applications under 19 CFR 360.103(c)(1)
and 19 CFR 361.103(c)(1). The
aluminum and steel license application
information is used by the Commerce
Department for monitoring of
anticipated imports of certain aluminum
and steel products into the United
States. The Form 7501 data is used by
CBP to determine, when imports are
entered for consumption, the proper
amount of duties, applicable fees, taxes,
and imports subject to quota.
These data fields are also required to
enforce the tariff rate quotas for
imported steel and aluminum
established by the following
Presidential Proclamations under
section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act
of 1962, as amended: for products of the
European Union, Proclamation 10327 of
December 27, 2021 (87 FR 1, January 3,
2022) and Proclamation 10328 of
December 27, 2021 (87 FR 11, January
3, 2022); for products of Japan (steelonly), Proclamation 10356 of March 31,
2022 (87 FR 19351, April 1, 2022); and
for products of the United Kingdom,
Proclamation 10405 of May 31, 2022 (87
FR 33583, June 3, 2022) and
Proclamation 10406 of May 31, 2022 (87

1 The February 24, 2023 Presidential
Proclamation on Adjusting Imports of Aluminum
Into the United States requires importers to provide
to CBP information necessary to identify the
countries where the primary aluminum used in the
manufacture of certain imports of aluminum
articles are smelted and information necessary to
identify the countries where such aluminum
articles imports are cast. This notice proposes to
add the aluminum smelt and cast data field to Form
7501 independently from the February 24, 2023
Proclamation.

Form Number: N/A.
Current Actions: Revision.
Type of Review: Revision.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Abstract: In order to enhance national
security, the Department of Homeland
Security is developing a biometric based
entry and exit system capable of
improving the information resources
available to immigration and border
management decision-makers. These
biometrics may include: digital
fingerprint scans, facial images, iris
images or other biometrics. Biometrics
may be collected from travelers entering
or exiting the United States, including
the collection of biometrics from
vehicles upon entry. CBP continues to
test and evaluate different technological
and operational changes to improve the

accuracy and speed of biometric
collection.
The federal statutes that mandate DHS
to create a biometric entry and exit
system include: Section 2(a) of the

New Change
This revision submission will
increase the number of respondents
whose biometrics are collected in
vehicles, and to seek an exemption from
PRA citation requirements on biometric/
privacy signage. CBP ports of entry and
external partners such as airports and
seaports post biometric entry-exit
privacy signage at those locations where
facial comparison technology is in use
by or on behalf of CBP. Due to operation
costs to main signage to be complaint
with PRA requirements, CBP requests
that in lieu of placing the OMB
number’s expiration date on the privacy
signage, CBP will link/reference the
OMB number, expiration date, and PRA
language on CBP’s biometric website:
www.cbp.gov/travel/biometrics. In lieu
of displaying the PRA language on the
signage, it will be listed on the website
along with the current expiration date.
This exception reduces the reprint cost
to the U.S. government and the external
