CBP invites the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on a proposed Global Interoperability Standard capable of tracking changes in ownership and destination of pipeline-borne goods such as crude oil, from wellhead to refinery.
The absence of a system or technology capable of tracking this data has resulted in CBP creating a patchwork of policies for data collection from carriers and importers over the decades.
A private company has a platform to document the movement (including ownership changes) of crude oil. The platform will monitor Canadian crude oil, a continuous flow commodity, using global interoperability standards (GIS) adopted by test participants who will supply the GIS data to the platform where CBP will be able to view the data in near real time.
If successful, the test could result in the ability to potentially eliminate all port-level paper processes as well as create an automation environment in which pre-arrival data collection, in-bond tracking, and Free Trade Agreement compliance traceability no longer pose issues.
The purpose of the test is to measure the usefulness and accuracy of the platform’s global interoperability standards with a view toward resolving any issues prior to determining next steps, which could include implementing new policies and regulations leading to the integration of GIS data with the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) for Canadian crude oil and other pipeline commodities for entry purposes.
