On January 12, 2007 the Honourable Stockwell Day announced an investment of $431.6M over five years to reinforce smart, secure borders: $396M investment for eManifest $24M to further harmonize and strengthen business resumption planning with the USA $11.6M to further enhance the Partners in Protection (PIP) program

Slide4: 

eMANIFEST – CONTEXT United States Canada Mexico Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America “Identify, develop, promote and implement harmonized commercial processes, with initial focus on truck carried cargo manifests” Canada Border Services Agency Securing our borders while facilitating trade and travel Advance Commercial Information Customs Self Assessment

Slide5: 

ADVANCE COMMERCIAL INFORMATION – PRE-ARRIVAL TRANSMISSION REQUIREMENTS Risk-based, automated targeting against electronic carrier and cargo information transmitted before goods arrive in Canada, in order to detect high-risk shipments containing contraband or posing a threat to health, safety, and/or national security. Part of Canada-U.S.- Mexico commitment towards collective security and economic prosperity.

Slide6: 

eMANIFEST – LINK TO ADVANCE COMMERCIAL INFORMATION Carriers will provide electronic cargo and conveyance / crew information as follows: Freight forwarders will provide electronic secondary / supplementary cargo information as follows: Importers will provide electronic admissibility information as follows: CBSA will validate data, risk assess the shipment, and make admissibility and/ or examination recommendations prior to arrival of the shipment in Canada

Slide7: 

eMANIFEST END STATE – HIGHWAY Carrier transmits cargo, conveyance and driver data to CBSA Freight Forwarder transmits secondary data (if required) to CBSA Importers / Brokers transmit admissibility data to CBSA Before Border At Border After Border CBSA will electronically validate and confirm receipt of data CBSA will conduct automated risk assessment of shipments for further review by CBSA officer CBSA will make an entry/examination recommendation - transmit to border At PIL barcode/ transponder is read and entry / examination recommendation is communicated At PIL if driver not registered, officer verifies identity and admissibility, and final entry / examination decision is made Warehouse examination (if required) Exam results and risk assessment data used for detecting trends and patterns and for monitoring program effectiveness CBSA conducts compliance monitoring CBSA conducts post release verifications

Slide8: 

eMANIFEST END STATE – INTERNET PORTAL Description: A user-friendly, secure, and widely accessible option for clients to connect with the CBSA. Clients will be able to submit electronic information to the CBSA, query and verify status of shipments. Benefits: Supports trade community’s ability to report and track shipments. Establishes the foundation for Single Window & Account based processing. A mechanism for trade chain partners to communicate with CBSA before they arrive at the border.

Slide9: 

eMANIFEST END STATE – PASSAGE Description: An integrated system for officers working at the Primary Inspection Line (PIL) that will provide them with a streamlined, user-friendly interface for border processing that is compatible with transponder technology. Benefits: Integrates existing systems- improves processing times. Supports valuable capacity of displaying driver pictures (Picture in Booth) to confirm the identity of drivers participating in the Free and Secure Trade (FAST) Driver Registration Program. Supports interoperability by reducing the number of screens and passwords (single logon) thereby reducing sign in time and decreasing time at the PIL Interoperable with Transponders /Smart Card technologies.

BUSINESS RESUMPTION PLANNING: 

BUSINESS RESUMPTION PLANNING Objective Develop coordinated business resumption protocols at the border in the event of disaster and/or increased alert levels.

BUSINESS RESUMPTION PLANNING: 

BUSINESS RESUMPTION PLANNING Actions to date: Recent and significant work has focused on defining communication and coordination mechanisms. CBSA/CBP draft Business Resumption: Communication and Coordination Plan formalize the process for inter-agency communications and communications with industry. Plan provides guidance for CBP and CBSA during instances where precise, accurate and timely communication between the two organizations is crucial. The plan is supported by agency-specific operating instructions for implementation within each of CBSA and CBP.

Canadian Conceptual Design developed by federal /provincial working group in December 2006. Canada will work with BC, DHS and Washington State (and other provinces, territories and states) on development of their DL pilots. Washington State / British Columbia EDL pilots anticipate a January, 2008 implementation.

WASHINGTON STATE PILOT: 

WASHINGTON STATE PILOT Legislation passed by Washington State (WS) supporting enhanced driver’s licenses for cross-border travel. MOU between Washington State and DHS signed March 23, 2007.

DL officials use visual and technological checks to determine document authenticity / fraudulency. If DL officials cannot determine citizenship with confidence, applicant will be referred to the U.S. Department of State to obtain proper citizenship document in order to continue application process. DL card will contain a Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).

CANADIAN EDL PILOT OVERVIEW: 

CANADIAN EDL PILOT OVERVIEW 300 to 500 Canadian citizens to participate Up to 6 months to run Pilot EDL(s) issued from a limited number of Provincial driver licensing offices which meet SPP 1.1.3 standards Citizenship validation undertaken by Provinces; if unable to determine citizenship, client will be required to obtain passport Card production and issuance occurs after citizenship is validated Card to meet secure standards, including a MRZ, and a vicinity RFID chip

CANADIAN EDL PILOT OVERVIEW: 

CANADIAN EDL PILOT OVERVIEW Participant information sent to CBSA by secure channel. EDL card info to be shared with DHS/CBP for entry to U.S. CBSA will process EDL documents using current border processes, statistics can be collected for use in evaluation.
