Electronic Filing of Certificate of Compliance Data: Announcement of Expansion of Partner Government Agency Message Set Test and Collection of Information Burden Estimate

Resumen

In a June 4, 2024, Federal Register notice, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in consultation with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), announced their joint intent to expand the current Partner Government Agency (PGA) Message Set test (Beta Pilot test) to include up to 2,000 additional participants. The expansion will allow importers of regulated consumer products to voluntarily participate in the test by electronically submitting (eFiling) data from a certificate of compliance. Beta Pilot test participants will eFile certificate data to the CBP-authorized Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system known as the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). In this notice, CPSC addresses two comments supporting the expanded Beta Pilot test; CPSC did not revise its burden estimates based on the comments. By publication of this notice, the Commission announces that CPSC has submitted to the OMB a request for approval of the collection of information, as proposed.
