Summary
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is asking for your thoughts on a new info collection about Global Interoperability Standards, which helps different systems work together smoothly.

Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Monthly Data Reporting Time Burden
CBP proposes a new information collection (OMB No. 1651-0NEW) that would ask about 24 businesses to submit GIS data 12 times per year. Each response is estimated to take 4 hours, so each responding business would spend about 48 hours per year and the total annual burden is 1,152 hours.
Pilot Could Remove Port Paperwork
The GIS test with the Neoflow platform is limited to pipeline oil products coming from Canada and, if successful, could potentially eliminate all port-level paper processes and enable automation for pre-arrival data, in-bond tracking, and Free Trade Agreement compliance. The test may later be expanded to other commodities and could lead to integration of GIS data with the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) for entry purposes.
Real-Time GIS Data Using DIDs and VCs
The proposed collection would record GIS data using decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials (VCs) so CBP can view near real-time records and an immutable chain of custody from wellhead to refinery. The platform aims to secure supply chains from disclosure to unauthorized parties while recording bilateral transaction updates and ownership changes.
