SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

burden estimate for the Beta Pilot test.
Pursuant to this notice, the Beta Pilot
test is underway with 38 participants;
CPSC received no comment on the
burden estimates provided. On
September 14, 2022, CPSC published a
second notice in the Federal Register
providing a 30-day public comment
period on the burden estimates for the
Beta Pilot test, as required by the PRA.
87 FR 56407. CPSC received no
comments. Subsequently, the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
assigned control number 3041–0193 for
the Beta Pilot test.
In 2023, CPSC and CBP began the
Beta Pilot test, which is ongoing with 38
importer participants, along with their
trade partners, such as brokers and
laboratories. On December 8, 2023,
CPSC published a supplemental notice
of proposed rulemaking (SNPR) to
revise 16 CFR part 1110 to, among other
things, require eFiling of certificate data.
88 FR 85760. In this notice, CPSC and
CBP announce their joint intent to
expand the Beta Pilot test to include up
to an additional 2,000 importer
participants and to extend the Beta Pilot
test for up to three years, or until an
effective date of a final rule
implementing an eFiling requirement.
Accordingly, CPSC is seeking comment
on a revised burden estimate for the
collection of information related to the
expanded Beta Pilot test, as required by
the PRA.
CPSC’s previous Beta Pilot Test
Announcement (87 FR 35513, 35517–
18) discussed CBP and CPSC’s legal
authority to conduct the Beta Pilot test.
Additionally, the Beta Pilot Test
Announcement and the recent SNPR to
revise 16 CFR part 1110 explained
CPSC’s authority to require electronic
filing of certificate data at the time of
entry, or entry summary, if both are
filed together. 87 FR 35513, 35518; 88
FR 85760, 85760–62.
A. Expansion of the Beta Pilot Test 3
The June 10, 2022, Beta Pilot Test
Announcement explained CPSC’s
authority to require eFiling, the Alpha

I. Background
On June 10, 2022, CPSC announced in
the Federal Register (87 FR 35513) a
joint Beta Pilot test with CBP to assess
eFiling certificate data for regulated
consumer products and substances
under CPSC’s jurisdiction using CBP’s
PGA Message Set in ACE (Beta Pilot
Test Announcement). The notice sought
up to 50 Beta Pilot participants and
provided a 60-day comment period for
CPSC’s Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

3 On May 29, 2024, the Commission voted (5–0)
to publish this notice.
4 The eFiling Alpha Pilot test was a six-month
joint initiative between CPSC and CBP that assessed
the infrastructure and processes necessary for
electronic filing of data, and successfully
demonstrated the ability of eight U.S. importers,
their customs brokers, CBP, and CPSC to work
together to gather and electronically file these data
at import. CPSC staff provided a report on the pilot,
which is available at: https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fspublic/eFiling_Alpha_Pilot_Evaluation_ReportMay_24_2017.pdf?uK.UhjHabKD5yjQ.1w06tu

FR 35513. The Beta Pilot Test
Announcement also described the
Commission’s direction for an eFiling
Program, explaining that on December
18, 2020, the Commission approved
staff’s recommended plan to implement
a permanent eFiling program at CPSC.5
The Beta Pilot test and the December 8,
2023 SNPR (88 FR 85760) are in
furtherance of CPSC’s eFiling Program.
In 2024, CPSC staff expects to submit for
Commission consideration a draft final
rule to require eFiling of certificate data.
In the interim, CPSC and CBP intend to
expand the Beta Pilot test (expanded
Beta Pilot test) to allow importers of
regulated consumer products and
substances to voluntarily participate in
the eFiling program for up to three
years, or until an effective date of a final
rule implementing an eFiling
requirement.
Participation in the expanded Beta
Pilot test will allow importers to assess
and refine capabilities for eFiling
certificate data elements into ACE via a
PGA Message Set. The expanded Beta
Pilot test provides additional members
of the import community more time to
gradually prepare for and begin eFiling
PGA Message Sets. Like the current Beta
Pilot test, the expanded test will involve
eFiling certificate data for regulated
consumer products and substances
under CPSC’s jurisdiction that are
classified under approximately 300
Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS)
codes.6 Current participants may
participate in the expanded Beta Pilot
test and should inform CPSC of their
interest in continuing in the Beta Pilot.
The expanded Beta Pilot test will
allow CPSC to further scale up the
information technology (IT), procedural,
and processing requirements of the
Product Registry and the Risk
Assessment Methodology system (RAM)
before the anticipated full
implementation. For example, CPSC

6 The products classified under the approximately
300 HTS codes that participants should expect to
be tested in the Beta Pilot, include, but are not
limited to: All Terrian Vehicles (ATVs); durable
infant or toddler products, such as baby carriages,
cribs, and safety gates; children’s furniture,
backpacks, and school supplies; bicycle helmets;
bicycles and other electric-powered cycles; clothing
(sleepwear, outerwear, infant articles, potentially
flammable adult clothing articles); drywall;
fireworks; children’s jewelry; lighters; liquid
nicotine; mattresses; pacifiers and rattles; rugs; and
toys.

will scale up IT systems to accept data
for regulated consumer products from
more importers; refine the required
infrastructure for the real-time
collection and use of data; and continue
development of internal and external
procedures to supply, use, and maintain
certificate data. Expanding the Beta
Pilot test will enable CPSC to continue
developing RAM algorithms to triage
import data received from CBP to detect
more effectively noncompliant
consumer products arriving at ports of
entry.
To accommodate expansion of the
Beta Pilot test, this notice seeks up to
2,000 additional participants and
revises CPSC’s PRA analysis to
accommodate these additional
participants by revising the estimated
annual burden to participants.

ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1

B. Use of the Automated Commercial
Environment
CPSC is conducting the expanded
Beta Pilot test in coordination with CBP
and using the ACE system through
which CBP collects importation and
entry data, thus streamlining business
processes and ensuring cargo security
and compliance with U.S. laws and
regulations. CBP developed ACE as the
‘‘single window’’ for the trade
community to comply with the
International Trade Data System (ITDS)
requirement established by the Security
and Accountability for Every (SAFE)
Port Act of 2006. Trade filers must
submit data to ACE using an EDI
system, such as the Automated Broker
Interface (ABI). Commercial trade
participants, or the licensed customs
brokers acting on their behalf, can
electronically file entry data in ACE
using ABI. A PGA Message Set allows
the trade to enter agency-specific data
along with entry data, through ABI, and
for PGAs, such as CPSC, to receive this
additional trade-related data.
II. Beta Pilot Test: Certificate Data
The expanded Beta Pilot test will
follow the same structure as the existing
Beta Pilot test, with two different
methods of filing certificate data using
the PGA Message Set: (1) filing a
minimum of seven data elements (Full
PGA Message Set), or (2) filing only a
reference to certificate data stored in a
Product Registry maintained by CPSC
(Reference PGA Message Set).
Participants submit certificate data for
regulated finished products, either as
the Full PGA Message Set or the
Reference PGA Message Set, in ACE at
the time of entry filing or entry
summary filing if both entry and entry
summary are filed together. CBP then
makes available to CPSC the PGA

Jkt 262001

Message Set data and its corresponding
entry data, for CPSC’s validation, risk
assessment, and admissibility
determinations at entry, thereby
facilitating compliant trade as well as
sharpening CPSC focus on
noncompliant trade. CPSC uses eFiled
certificate data to review consumer
product entry requirements and allow
for earlier risk-based admissibility
decisions to be made by CPSC staff.
Additionally, because it is electronic,
the PGA Message Set will eliminate or
substantially reduce the necessity for
submission and subsequent handling of
paper documents. Section II of the 2022
Beta Pilot Test Announcement details
the expected PGA Message Set data
from a certificate of compliance as well
as the methods for filing such data. 87
FR 35513, 35516–17.
CPSC’s supplemental CATAIR
guideline on filing certificate data
through the PGA Message Set describes
the technical specifications for filing
during the expanded Beta Pilot test, as
well as the Product Registry and
Reference PGA Message Set.7 Technical
comments on CPSC’s supplemental
CATAIR guideline should be submitted
in accordance with the instructions in
the ADDRESSES section at the beginning
of this notice.
III. Beta Pilot Test Participant
Eligibility, Selection Criteria, and
Responsibilities
This document announces CPSC’s
plan, in consultation with CBP, to
expand the number of Beta Pilot test
participants from 50 up to 2,000
importers, and to extend the Beta Pilot
test period from six months to up to
three years, or until an effective date of
a final rule implementing an eFiling
requirement. Accordingly, CPSC and
CBP seek additional Beta Pilot test
participants. U.S.-based importers with
an assortment of CPSC-regulated
products may participate in the Beta
Pilot test. To be eligible to apply as a
test participant, the applicant must:
• Import regulated consumer
products within the Commission’s
jurisdiction;
• File consumption entries and entry
summaries in ACE, or have a broker
who files in ACE;
• Use a software program that has
completed ACE certification testing for
the PGA Message Set; and
• Work with CPSC and CBP to test
electronic filing of data using ABI to file
through the Message Set, or references
to certificate data in the Product
Registry.
7 For links to CPSC’s CATAIR, see supra, fns 1
and 2.

PO 00000

Frm 00033

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

CPSC anticipates that the benefits of
participation in the Beta Pilot test may
include, but will not necessarily be
limited to:
• Opportunity to work directly with
CBP and CPSC in the preimplementation stage of the requirement
to file certificate data; and
• Ability to trouble-shoot systems and
procedures.
IV. Application Process and Test
Duration
Any importer seeking to participate in
the test should email their company
name, contact information, importer of
record number(s), filer code(s), and an
explanation of how they satisfy the
requirements for participation to the
address listed at the beginning of this
notice. CPSC will consider applications
to participate for three years, until
reaching the expanded Beta Pilot test
capacity of 2,000 participants, or until
the effective date of a final rule,
whichever comes first. CPSC will notify
expanded Beta Pilot test applicants of
approval to participate by email and
will work with importers to onboard
into the Pilot on a first come, first
served basis. Depending on the level of
interest, CPSC may restrict on-boarding
of new participants, at least in the
beginning of the expanded Beta Pilot
test, to accommodate all participants
successfully and smoothly.
V. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Beta Pilot test contains
information collection requirements that
are subject to public comment and
review by OMB under the PRA of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3521). CPSC previously
received an OMB control number for the
existing Beta Pilot test: 3041–0193.
CPSC now seeks to expand the number
of participants in this test up to 2,000
and extend the test duration for up to
three additional years (2027), or until an
effective date of a final rule
implementing an eFiling requirement.
In this document, pursuant to 44 U.S.C.
3507(a)(1)(D), we set forth:
• a title for the collection of
information;
• a summary of the collection of
information;
• a brief description of the need for
the information and the proposed use of
the information;
• a description of the likely
respondents and proposed frequency of
responses to the collection of
information;
• an estimate of the burden that shall
result from the collection of
information; and
• notice that comments may be
submitted to the OMB.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 108 / Tuesday, June 4, 2024 / Notices
Title: Beta Pilot Test for eFiling
Certificates of Compliance.
Description: During the Beta Pilot test
of CBP’s PGA Message Set abilities
through ACE, up to 2,000 participating
importers of regulated consumer
products will electronically file the
requested certificate data, comprised of
seven data elements, at the time of entry
filing, or entry summary filing, if both
entry and entry summary are filed
together. Participants will have two
ways to file certificate data during the
Beta Pilot test: (1) filing certificate data
in a CPSC-maintained Product Registry,
and filing a reference number in ACE to
this data set, through ABI, each time the
product is imported thereafter
(Reference PGA Message Set), or (2)
filing all certificate data elements
directly through ABI each time the
product is imported (Full PGA Message
Set). CPSC will receive the information
from CBP through a real-time transfer of
import data, and the agency will risk
score the information in CPSC’s RAM
system to assist in the interdiction of
noncompliant consumer products.
As set forth in section V.B of the Beta
Pilot Test Announcement (87 FR 35513,
35517–18), the requirement to create
and maintain certificates, including the
data elements, is set forth in section 14
of the Consumer Product Safety Act
(CPSA). Section 14(a) of the CPSA
requires manufacturers (including
importers) and private labelers of
certain regulated consumer products
manufactured outside the United States
to test and issue a certificate certifying
such products as compliant with
applicable laws and regulations before
importation. 15 U.S.C. 2063(a). Section
14(g)(1) of the CPSA describes the data
required on a certificate. Section
14(g)(3) requires a certificate to

accompany the applicable product or
shipment of products covered by the
certificate, and that certifiers must
furnish the certificate to each distributor
or retailer of the product. Upon request,
certificates must also be furnished to
CPSC and CBP. Section 14(g)(4)
provides that ‘‘[i]n consultation with the
Commissioner of Customs, the
Commission may, by rule, provide for
the electronic filing of certificates under
this section up to 24 hours before arrival
of an imported product.’’ 15 U.S.C.
2063(g)(4). The Commission issued an
SNPR to require eFiling on December 8,
2023. 88 FR 85760.
Because certificates are required by
statute, this analysis focuses on the
burden for CPSC to accept, and
importers to provide, certificate data
elements electronically at the time of
entry filing, and not to collect and
maintain certificate data more generally.
Importer requirements in the Beta Pilot
test for providing certificate data
electronically at the time of entry filing
fall within the definition of ‘‘collection
of information,’’ as defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502(3).
Description of Respondents: Up to
2,000 importer participants who import
regulated consumer products within
CPSC’s jurisdiction.
Estimated Burden: We estimate the
burden of this collection of information
as follows:
CPSC used information provided by
Alpha Pilot test participants to inform
the estimated burden for the Beta Pilot
test. Like the existing Beta Pilot test, the
burden from participating in the
expanded Beta Pilot test can be broken
down into the burden of preparing for
participation in the Pilot, the burden of
maintaining the data elements
separately, and as compared to the
Alpha Pilot test, the additional burden

of including the dates of manufacturing
and lab testing. Based on feedback from
the Alpha Pilot test participants, for the
current Beta Pilot test, we assumed that
many more participants (90%) would
opt to exclusively use the Product
Registry and Reference PGA Message
Set, while only 10% would opt to
exclusively use the Full PGA Message
Set. Table 3 of the 2022 Beta Pilot Test
Announcement provides the total
annual burden estimate for the current
Beta Pilot, estimating 9,217 annual
burden hours from all participants, with
an estimated annual cost (combined for
all participants) of $404,764 (in 2021
dollars). 87 FR 35513, 35520. When
adjusted for inflation, the total
estimated annual cost to current Beta
Pilot test participants in 2023 is $
$442,002.
CPSC estimates that the expanded
Beta Pilot test will have similar burden
per response and cost per response as
the participants in the current Beta Pilot
test, with the exception of burden from
survey responses, which will not be
required of the expanded Beta Pilot test
participants.8 Accordingly, CPSC
estimates that if an additional 2,000
importers participate, 1,800 participants
will use the Product Registry and
Reference PGA Message Set, while 200
participants will use the Full PGA
Message Set.
Tables 1–3 contain burden estimates
for the expanded Beta Pilot test, which
are in addition to the burden estimates
provided in the 2022 Beta Pilot Test
Announcement for up to 50
participants. Table 1 shows an
estimated 1,800 additional participants
will use the Reference PGA Message Set
and bear an annual burden of 265,000
hours, with an estimated total annual
cost for all participants of $13,593,303.9
