The HSAC’s Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Families and Children Custody Panel CBP Families and Children Care Panel Final Report.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is conducting a voluntary test to collect certain advance data related to shipments potentially eligible for release under Section 321 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. § 1321 (“Section 321”). Section 321 provides for an administrative exemption from duty and taxes for shipments of merchandise (other than bona-fide gifts and certain personal and household goods) imported by one person on one day having an aggregate fair retail value in the country of shipment of not more than $800. Pursuant to this test, participants will electronically transmit certain data elements pertaining to these shipments to CBP in advance of arrival. CBP is conducting this test to determine the feasibility of requiring advance data from different types of parties and requiring additional data that is generally not required under current regulations in order to effectively identify and target high-risk shipments in the e-commerce1 environment. CBP published a Notice in the Federal Register on July 23, 2019, announcing the pilot.2 CBP is publishing this new Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to provide notice of information collection requirements for the Section 321 Data Pilot, and to assess the privacy risks of its collection and use of personally identifiable information under this pilot.
The Border Patrol Enforcement Tracking System (BPETS) is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) web-based application that allows USBP to analyze incident data and manage the deployment of personnel and resources. BPETS is a legacy system, once maintained by the Department of Justice (DOJ) Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), and is now maintained by CBP. The BPETS2 system is an enhancement to the legacy BPETS system, which adds advanced technologies and improved system integration. Currently, BPETS and BPETS2 operate in conjunction with one another, but the BPETS2 system will eventually replace the legacy BPETS system. CBP is conducting this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) because BPETS and BPETS2 both collect, maintain, and disseminate personally identifiable information (PII).
