Overview of This Information Collection
Title: Global Business Identifier (GBI).
OMB Number: 1651-0NEW.
Form Number: N/A.
Current Actions: This is a new collection of information.
Type of Review: New Information Collection.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Abstract: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is launching a
Global Business Identifier (GBI) Evaluative Proof of Concept (EPoC)
which aims to determine a single identifier solution that will uniquely
discern main legal entity and ownership; specific business and global
locations; and supply chain roles and functions. Entry filers must
request permission to participate in the GBI EPoC and must obtain and
submit all three GBI identifiers as part of the application. The
identifiers provide additional information about trade entities and
supply chain locations associated with U.S. imports, to CBP for
enrollment into the GBI EPoC and, if selected, during the Entry
process. The three identifiers are:
<bullet> Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)--owned and managed by the Global
Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF)
<bullet> Global Location Number (GLN)--owned and managed by GS1
<bullet> Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS)--owned and managed by
Dun & Bradstreet (D&B)
GBI EPoC participants will also provide applicant information:
Company/entity legal name, legal entity headquarters and/or
manufacturing site address, business phone number (associated with
provided address), company website, Manufacture/Shipper Identification
Code (MID), and Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) identification
number (optional).
Automated Broker Interface (ABI) filers (including brokers and
self-filers)
[[Page 55630]]
will be required to complete a GBI enrollment process, via ABI, prior
to submitting the identifiers on an electronic entry (CBP Form 3461).
Filers are responsible for the associated costs to obtain all three
identifiers and will submit each identifier for the following supply
chain roles:
<bullet> Manufacturer/Producer (required)
<bullet> Shipper (required)
<bullet> Seller (required)
<bullet> Exporter (optional)
<bullet> Distributer (optional)
<bullet> Packager (optional)
Section 484 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S. Code
1484) and Part 141, Code of Federal Regulations, Title 19 (19 CFR part
141), pertain to the entry of merchandise and authorize CBP to require
information that is necessary for CBP to determine whether merchandise
may be released from CBP custody. Provisions of the U.S. Code and CBP
regulations, in various parts and related to various types of
merchandise, specify information that is required for entry. For
reference, Part 163, Code of Federal Regulations, Title 19 (19 CFR part
163 Appendix A) refers to a wide variety of regulatory provisions for
certain information that may be required by CBP.
By testing the identifiers CBP will take its first step in
determining whether to amend regulations to mandate the GBI solution.
Furthermore, CBP will understand the utility of collecting and/or
combining the identifiers' data and will be able to make an informed
decision on whether to mandate the use of the GBI solution as an
alternative for the Manufacturer/Shipper Identification Code (MID).
Type of Information Collection: Electronic Submission of GBI Data
and Enrollment Information.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
Estimated Number of Annual Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Number of Total Annual Responses: 100.
Estimated Time per Response: 10 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 17.
Dated: September 30, 2021.

Branch Chief, Economic Impact Analysis Branch, U.S. Customs and Border
Protection.
