    Manifest Confidentiality: An importer or consignee (inward) or a 
shipper (outward) may request confidential treatment of its name and 
address contained in manifests by following the procedure set forth in 
19 CFR 103.31.
    Vessel Stow Plan (Import): For all vessels transporting goods to 
the United States, except for any vessel exclusively carrying bulk 
cargo, the incoming carrier is required to electronically submit a 
vessel stow plan no later than 48 hours after the vessel departs from 
the last foreign port that includes information about the vessel and 
cargo. For voyages less than 48 hours in duration, CBP must receive the 
vessel stow plan prior to arrival at the first port in the U.S. The 
vessel stow plan is provided for by 19 CFR 4.7c.
    Vessel Stow Plan (Export): CBP will begin a pilot in 2015 to 
electronically collect a vessel stow plan for vessels transporting 
goods from the United States, except for any vessels exclusively 
carrying bulk cargo. The exporting carrier will electronically submit a 
vessel stow plan in advance.
    Container Status Messages (CSMs): For all containers destined to 
arrive within the limits of a U.S. port from a foreign port by vessel, 
the incoming carrier must submit messages regarding the status of 
events if the carrier creates or collects a container status message 
(CSM) in its equipment tracking system reporting an event. CSMs must be 
transmitted to CBP via a CBP-approved electronic data interchange 
system. These messages transmit information regarding events such as 
the status of a container (full or empty); booking a container destined 
to arrive in the United States; loading or unloading a container from a 
vessel; and a container arriving or departing the United States. CSMs 
are provided for by 19 CFR 4.7d.
    Importer Security Filing (ISF): For most cargo arriving in the 
United States

[[Page 32973]]

by vessel, the importer, or its authorized agent, must submit the data 
elements listed in 19 CFR 149.3 via a CBP-approved electronic 
interchange system within prescribed time frames. Transmission of these 
data elements provide CBP with advance information about the shipment.
    Current Actions: CBP is proposing that this information collection 
be extended with a change to the burden hours resulting from proposed 
new information collections associated with the Electronic Ocean Export 
Manifest, Electronic Air Export Manifest, Electronic Rail Export 
Manifest, and Vessel Stow Plan (Export). There are no changes to the 
existing information collections under this OMB approval. The burden 
hours are listed in the chart below.
    Type of Review: Revision and Extension.
    Affected Public: Businesses.
