Alternate Method--Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) and Partner Government Agency Message Set for Imports Regulated by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau
New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
TTB administers several provisions of the U.S. Code that relate to the importation of alcohol beverages, industrial spirits, tobacco products, processed tobacco, and cigarette papers and tubes. The International Trade Data System (ITDS) is an interagency program to establish a single electronic access point through which importers and exporters may submit the data required by Federal government agencies for importation and exportation. Section 405 of the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2016 (SAFE Port Act; Pub. L. 109â347) mandated participation in ITDS for all agencies that require documentation for clearing or licensing the importation and exportation of cargo. The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) provides a âsingle windowâ that allows importers and exporters to enter one set of data for each shipment of imported or exported goods. The TTB Partner Government Agency (PGA) Message Set defines the TTB-specific information that importers may submit electronically through ACE to meet TTB requirements. With regard to imports, TTB intends to issue an alternate method to allow importers to submit the TTB PGA Message Set electronically, in lieu of submitting paper documents to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at importation. This information collection covers the data that would be submitted electronically through ACE under that alternate method.

Section 405 of the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006 (SAFE Port Act; Pub. L. 109â347) mandated participation in ITDS for all agencies that require documentation for clearing or licensing the importation and exportation of cargo. On February 19, 2014, the President issued Executive Order 13659, âStreamlining the Export/Import Process for Americaâs Businesses.â which mandates that agencies be able to utilize ITDS by December 31, 2016. In order to meet this deadline, TTB intends to issue an alternate method to allow importers to submit the TTB PGA Message Set electronically, in lieu of submitting paper documents to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at importation. This information collection covers the data that would be submitted electronically through ACE under that alternate method.
