EPA-Regulated Commodities

Under environmental statutes

administered by EPA, five

programs have import and one

program has export safety

responsibility.

Pesticides (FIFRA)

Hazardous Waste (RCRA) ORCR/OECA

Toxic Substances (TSCA)

Fuels (CAA)

Vehicles and Engines (CAA)

Ozone Depleting Substances (CAA)

• Statutory requirements built on

risk to human health and the

environment.

• Admissibility of EPA-regulated

commodities are based on

compliance with statutory

requirements (reporting)

Goal:

Streamline, improve reporting/processing legal

imports/exports

• Move from paper to electronic reporting (Entry, Entry Summary Certified for release,

Simplified Entry/Cargo Release) –PGA Message Set,

ABI

• Perform validations to automate reviews for

many EPA-regulated commodities

• Provide Electronic status messaging – IWS, ABI messages

Early indication of cargo clearance BEFORE it is

loaded on a plane, truck, train or ocean vessel.

5

Trade Participation

• Volunteers for Pilots under National Customs

Automation Program (NCAP) – Ozone Depleting Substances (simple)

– Vehicles and Engines

• Why participate? – Early filing (AE Certified for release), messaging, no courier fees

– Repeatable automated workflow – Used for other EPA programs to clear legitimate cargo quicker (from days, weeks to seconds,

minutes)

– Eliminate duplicate reporting to EPA, CBP

• When? Where? – See Federal Register Notice

http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-12-13/pdf/2013-29724.pdf

– Launch in next few months, Long Beach and Newark

Filing

Current:

Ozone Depleting Substances: ABI filings, no

automated checks, messaging.

Vehicles and Engines: Paper forms 3520-1

and 3520-21

6

EPA Form 3520-1

Future:

Ozone Depleting Substances: ABI filings, automated checks, messaging

Vehicles and Engines: ABI filings of data from EPA form 3520-1 or 3520-21 using PGA Message Set, automated checks, messaging

Scope of Pilots • Automated validation checks. EPA sends reference data to

ACE to automatically check filings – ODS –Approved Importers

• Importer of Record number

• Quantity

– Vehicles and Engines –Approved vehicles, engines • Test Group Name/Engine Family Name or Exemption number

• Date and Model Year

• Messaging. EPA recommends how to handle entries with

failed validations. CBP will provide status messages to Trade.

• Trade participation:

– Create Message Sets (successful and with errors)

– eFile to ACE

– Receive, respond to CBP notifications if needed

Getting Started

8

• Are you an ACE filer? Talk to your CBP Client Rep

• Are you filing ODS and V&E commodities at Long

Beach or Newark? See

http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/automated/automated_systems/abi/catair/chapters/

• Confirm participation. Let Susan Maskell know you are

interested. Subject line of your e-mail ‘‘PGA Message Set Test FRN-

Request to Participate’’

• Work with CBP, EPA and your software developers.

Begin Identifying PGA Message Set adjustments to your

software. (EPA will provide you examples).

ODS Sample

A shipment of an ODS substance, Tricholorofluoromethane,

more commonly known as Freon, is imported into the United

States to be processed into feedstock.

9 9

Vehicles Sample

• A shipment of BMW F800 GT motorcycles are

being imported into the United States under the

HTS code 8711406060.

• For these motorcycles, import code is “B” is used,

and Trade is required to provide Test Group

Name/Engine Family Name.

V&E Sample

Vehicles and Engines Sample - Import Motorcycles into the United States

Compliance-Based Admissibility

Pesticides (FIFRA) OPP/OECA

Hazardous Waste (RCRA) ORCR/OECA

Toxic Substances (TSCA) OPPT/OECA

Fuels (CAA) OAR/OECA

Vehicles and Engines (CAA) OAR/OECA

Ozone Depleting Substances (CAA) OAR/OECA -Ensure imports of ozone depleting substances are limited to those allowed under the Clean Air Act.

-Ensure imported vehicles & engines meet US emissions standards and compete fairly with US products that meet same standards, thereby improving air quality.

-Ensure imported fuels & additives meet fuel quality standards to help improve air quality, protect against harmful gas & particulate matter emissions from motor vehicles & engines, & compete fairly with US fuel products that meet standards.

-Assist CBP to ensure chemical substances subject to TSCA comply with statute before importation.

-Advise and instruct CBP that only pesticides compliant with FIFRA are imported into the US, preventing illegal shipments.

-Ensure only hazardous waste shipments authorized by EPA as approved by receiving countries are exported from the US, tracking imports
