Specifics on ACE Data Elements, Sharing Conditions in CBP/FMC Agreement Not Publicly Available, Says CBP

CBP is unable provide further information as to the data elements and conditions through which CBP can share data from the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) with the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC), said a CBP spokesman. "We are not able to provide more detail regarding the data elements and the conditions under which the FMC may use them beyond what is contained in the release," he said.

CBP recently announced an agreement between the two agencies allowing for the sharing of some ACE data (see 13072413). The press release said the agreement "specifies the specific data elements to be shared, the legal authority of FMC to receive the data and the conditions under which FMC may use, store or share the information."
