    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 began a pilot in 2015 to

    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 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 no change to the burden hours resulting from the 
proposed revision to the information collection associated with the Air 
Cargo Advance Screening pilot, as there is no change to the data being 
collected, only to the timing of the collection. 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
