Table-top exercises for export and import processes: • • On October 30, 2014, the Process Coordination Committee and the Risk Management Committee conducted two table top exercises for the BIEC that walked through the importation process of two separate products with multiple agency jurisdictions. The purpose of the exercise was to identify pain points and create a discussion of ways to streamline trade processes, facilitate lawful and compliant trade, and enhance compliance and enforcement efforts. The two exercises identified six pain points, which needed to be evaluated. They include the need to: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. explore timely access to import data, (Completed) the potential utilization of unique facility and entity identifiers, the pivotal role of data quality and validation, (Completed) transparency on agencies targeting rules, enhanced communication on hold and release decision both to agencies and the trade, (Completed improvements still needed) 6. and transparency between agencies on final disposition and enforcement actions. • These “Pain Points” have been evaluated and proposed solutions identified and currently in process 54

CPSC PGA Message Set & Certificate Registry Proposed Alpha Pilot Overview This presentation was prepared by CPSC staff, has not been reviewed or approved by, and may not reflect the views of, the Commission.
What is a Certificate? �A certification that a consumer product or other substance regulated by the Commission: �Has been tested: �Non-children’s products – a test of each product or a reasonable testing program �Children’s products – testing conducted by a third party conformity assessment body (laboratory) �Complies with all applicable safety rules, bans, standards, and regulations. 57
Required Certificate Types General Conformity Certificate (GCC) Children’s Product Certificate (CPC) • Non-children’s products only • Based on a test of each product or a reasonable testing program (14(a)(1) of the CPSA) • Must comply with 16 C. F. R. part 1110 • Products intended primarily for children 12 years of age and younger • Based on testing conducted by a CPSC-accepted third party laboratory (14(a)(2) of the CPSA) • Requires periodic and material change testing • Must comply with 16 C. F. R. part 1110 http: //www. cpsc. gov/Business--Manufacturing/Testing-Certification/Lab. Accreditation/Rules-Requiring-a-General-Certificate-of-Conformity/ 58
Why Electronic Filing? �Expedite clearance �Identify high risk cargo for inspection �Conduct post-importation enforcement �Generate reports to assist with: �Risk assessment �Setting agency priorities and goals �Meet objectives of EO 13659, Streamlining the Export/Import Process for America’s Businesses. 59
What is the e-Filing Alpha Pilot? �A two-pronged approach to electronic data collection of importer certificate data �Full Certificate PGA Message Set or �Reference Certificate PGA Message Set with CPSC Certificate Registry �A way to test implementation of e-filing in proposed 1110 rule �Electronic submission of certificates at entry �Using data elements from proposed 1110. 11. 60
Full Certificate PGA Message Set �A way to file product certificates at time of entry filing �Full set of certificate data filed via the PGA Message Set with each entry line 61
Reference Certificate PGA Message Set �A way to pre-file a product certificate in the CPSC Certificate Registry in advance of entry filing �Limits (but does not eliminate) the amount of data required to be filed via the PGA Message Set with each entry line 62
Alpha Pilot Goals • Inform the 1110 Rulemaking • Test the certificate data e-filing concept for Regulated Products • Identify and analyze the impact on industry, the government, and consumers • • Advancing the “single” window environment Impact on identification of noncompliant trade 63
Project Milestones �Federal Register Notice – With the Commission for a vote- Decisional scheduled August 12, 2015 �Participant Recruitment – Summer/Fall ’ 15 �Project Scope and Definition – Fall ’ 15 �Go Live and Data Collection – Mid ’ 16 64
Next Steps �Stakeholder engagement: �Trade Support Networking group �Outreach events �Others as identified �Recruit volunteers for the Pilot �Develop technical drafts for alpha pilot �HTS mapping �CATAIR 65
