SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Executive Summary

A. What action is the Agency taking?

    This document provides the receipt and status reports for the
period from 04/01/2021 to 04/30/2021. The Agency is providing notice of
receipt of PMNs, SNUNs and MCANs (including amended notices and test
information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (Biotech
exemption); TMEs, both pending and/or concluded; NOCs to manufacture a
new chemical substance; and a periodic status report on new chemical
substances that are currently under EPA review or have recently
concluded review.
    EPA is also providing information on its website about cases
reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN
and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA
determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA's
determination for PMN/SNUN/MCAN notices on its website at: https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a
weekly basis.

B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et
seq., a chemical substance may be either an ``existing'' chemical
substance or a ``new'' chemical substance. Any chemical substance that
is not on EPA's TSCA Inventory of Chemical Substances (TSCA Inventory)
is classified as a ``new chemical substance,'' while a chemical
substance that is listed on the TSCA Inventory is classified as an
``existing chemical substance.'' (See TSCA section 3(11).) For more
information about the TSCA Inventory please go to: https://www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory.
    Any person who intends to manufacture (including import) a new
chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose, or to
manufacture or process a chemical substance in a non-exempt manner for
a use that EPA has determined is a significant new use, is required by
TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a PMN, MCAN or SNUN, as appropriate,
before initiating the activity. EPA will review the notice, make a risk
determination on the chemical substance or significant new use, and
take appropriate action as described in TSCA section 5(a)(3).
    TSCA section 5(h)(1) authorizes EPA to allow persons, upon
application and under appropriate restrictions, to manufacture or
process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance subject to a
significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section 5(a)(2), for
``test marketing'' purposes, upon a showing that the manufacture,
processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the chemical
will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the
environment. This is referred to as a test marketing exemption, or TME.
For more information about the requirements applicable to a new
chemical go to: http://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems.
    Under TSCA sections 5 and 8 and EPA regulations, EPA is required to
publish in the Federal Register certain information, including notice
of receipt of a PMN/SNUN/MCAN (including amended notices and test
information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (biotech
exemption); an application for a TME, both pending and concluded; NOCs
to manufacture a new chemical substance; and a periodic status report
on the new chemical substances that are currently under EPA review or
have recently concluded review.

C. Does this action apply to me?

    This action provides information that is directed to the public in
general.

D. Does this action have any incremental economic impacts or paperwork
burdens?

    No.

E. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting confidential business information (CBI). Do not
submit this information to EPA through regulations.gov or email.
Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be
CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark
the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then identify
electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the specific information that
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment
that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that
does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for
inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be
disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part
2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.

II. Status Reports

    In the past, EPA has published individual notices reflecting the
status of TSCA section 5 filings received, pending or concluded. In
1995, the Agency modified its approach and streamlined the information
published in the Federal Register after providing notice of such
changes to the public and an opportunity to comment (see the Federal
Register of May 12, 1995 (60 FR 25798) (FRL-4942-7). Since the passage
of the Lautenberg amendments to TSCA in 2016, public interest in
information on the status of section 5 cases under EPA review and, in
particular, the final determination of such cases, has increased. In an
effort to be responsive to the regulated community, the users of this
information, and the general public, to comply with the requirements of
TSCA, to conserve EPA resources and to streamline the process and make
it more timely, EPA is providing information on its website about cases
reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN
and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA
determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA's
determination for PMN/SNUN/MCAN notices on its website at: https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a
weekly basis.

III. Receipt Reports

    For the PMN/SNUN/MCANs that have passed an initial screening by EPA
during this period, Table I provides the following information (to the
extent that such information is not subject to a CBI claim) on the
notices screened by EPA during this period: The EPA case number
assigned to the notice that indicates whether the submission is an
initial submission, or an amendment, a

notation of which version was received, the date the notice was
received by EPA, the submitting manufacturer (i.e., domestic producer
or importer), the potential uses identified by the manufacturer in the
notice, and the chemical substance identity.
    As used in each of the tables in this unit, (S) indicates that the
information in the table is the specific information provided by the
submitter, and (G) indicates that this information in the table is
generic information because the specific information provided by the
submitter was claimed as CBI. Submissions which are initial submissions
will not have a letter following the case number. Submissions which are
amendments to previous submissions will have a case number followed by
the letter ``A'' (e.g., P-18-1234A). The version column designates
submissions in sequence as ``1'', ``2'', ``3'', etc. Note that in some
cases, an initial submission is not numbered as version 1; this is
because earlier version(s) were rejected as incomplete or invalid
submissions. Note also that future versions of the following tables may
adjust slightly as the Agency works to automate population of the data
in the tables.

Final Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Flood hazard determinations, which may include additions or
modifications of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
regulatory floodways on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and where
applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports have
been made final for the communities listed in the table below.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that a community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's)
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report are used by insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for buildings and the contents of those
buildings.

DATES: The date of December 6, 2019 has been established for the FIRM
and, where applicable, the supporting FIS report showing the new or
modified flood hazard information for each community.

ADDRESSES: The FIRM, and if applicable, the FIS report containing the
final flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at the respective Community Map Repository address listed in
the tables below and will be available online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov by the date indicated above.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final determinations

listed below for the new or modified flood hazard information for each
community listed. Notification of these changes has been published in
newspapers of local circulation and 90 days have elapsed since that
publication. The Deputy Associate Administrator for Insurance and
Mitigation has resolved any appeals resulting from this notification.
    This final notice is issued in accordance with section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR part
67. FEMA has developed criteria for floodplain management in floodprone
areas in accordance with 44 CFR part 60.
    Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to
review the new or revised FIRM and FIS report available at the address
cited below for each community or online through the FEMA Map Service
Center at https://msc.fema.gov.
    The flood hazard determinations are made final in the watersheds
and/or communities listed in the table below.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-63223; File No. SR-FINRA-2010-054]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of
Proposed Rule Change To Extend the Operational Date of SR-FINRA-2009-
065

November 1, 2010.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on October 27, 2010, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC''
or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II, which Items have been prepared by FINRA. FINRA has designated the
proposed rule change as constituting a ``non-controversial'' rule
change under paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 under the Act,\3\ which
renders the proposal effective upon receipt of this filing by the
Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    FINRA is proposing to extend the period during which FINRA may make
the rule changes set forth in SR-FINRA-2009-065 and approved by the SEC
on February 22, 2010, effective to no later than June 1, 2011.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 61566 (February 22,
2010), 75 FR 9262 (March 1, 2010) (Order Approving File No. SR-
FINRA-2009-065) (hereinafter, ``SEC Order Approving TRACE
Expansion--Asset-Backed Securities'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change would not make any new changes to the text
of FINRA rules.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, FINRA included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. FINRA has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A,
B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    On October 1, 2009, FINRA filed SR-FINRA-2009-065, a proposed rule
change to expand the Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine (``TRACE'')
to designate asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities and
other similar securities (collectively, ``Asset-Backed Securities'') as
eligible for TRACE, and to establish reporting, fee and other
requirements for such securities. In SR-FINRA-2009-065, FINRA stated
that it would announce the effective date of the proposed rule change
in a Regulatory Notice to be published ``no later than 60 days
following Commission approval'' and the effective date would be ``no
later than 270 days following publication'' of the Regulatory Notice
announcing the Commission's approval.
    The proposed rule change was published for notice and comment.\5\
FINRA filed its response to comments on December 22, 2009,\6\ and
Amendment No. 1 to SR-FINRA-2009-065 on January 19, 2010 (hereinafter,
SR-FINRA-2009-065 and Amendment No. 1 thereto are, together, the
``TRACE ABS filing'').\7\ The Commission

approved the TRACE ABS filing on February 22, 2010.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60860 (October 21,
2009), 74 FR 55600 (October 28, 2009) (Notice of Filing of File No.
SR-FINRA-2009-065).
    \6\ See Letter from Sharon Zackula, Associate Vice President and
Associate General Counsel, FINRA, to Elizabeth M. Murphy, Secretary,
SEC, dated December 22, 2009.
    \7\ The TRACE ABS filing included amendments to: (a) Rule 6710
to amend the defined terms, ``Asset-Backed Security'' and ``TRACE-
Eligible Security'' to include Asset-Backed Securities as TRACE-
Eligible Securities, to amend several other defined terms, and to
add several new defined terms, most of which relate to Asset-Backed
Securities; (b) Rule 6730 to require the reporting of Asset-Backed
Securities transactions, to establish a six-month pilot period for
reporting such transactions no later than T + 1 during TRACE System
hours, and to amend certain requirements in connection with the
reporting of commissions, factors, transaction size and settlement
terms in Asset-Backed Securities transactions; (c) Rule 6750 to
provide that information on a transaction in a TRACE-Eligible
Security that is an Asset-Backed Security will not be disseminated;
(d) Rule 6760 to amend the notification requirements; (e) Rule 7730
to establish fees for reporting transactions in Asset-Backed
Securities; and (f) the Rule 6700 Series and Rule 7730 to
incorporate certain other technical, administrative and clarifying
changes.
    \8\ See SEC Order Approving TRACE Expansion--Asset-Backed
Securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 14, 2010, FINRA filed for immediate effectiveness SR-
FINRA-2010-019, a proposed rule change to extend by 45 days the
proposed implementation period for SR-FINRA-2009-065.\9\ On April 23,
2010, FINRA published Regulatory Notice 10-23 announcing Commission
approval of the TRACE ABS Filing. Regulatory Notice 10-23 briefly
described the rule changes, and, in reliance upon the 45-day extension
provided for in SR-FINRA-2010-019, announced that the effective date of
such rule changes would be February 14, 2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 61948 (April 20,
2010), 75 FR 22670 (April 29, 2010) (Notice of Filing and Immediate
Effectiveness of File No. SR-FINRA-2010-019 to Extend the
Implementation Period for SR-FINRA-2009-65).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA has determined that it would be beneficial to delay the
effective date of the TRACE ABS filing to no later than June 1, 2011.
FINRA will publish a Regulatory Notice no later than 30 days following
the operative date of this proposed rule change to announce the revised
effective date of the TRACE ABS filing, and to indicate that the
previously announced effective date, February 14, 2011, is no longer
valid.
    The complexity and variety of structures of Asset-Backed Securities
present significant operational and technical challenges. For example,
new processes and systems are being developed and must be implemented
across the industry to assure the integrity of the Asset-Backed
Securities reference data that facilitates timely and accurate
reporting. In addition, FINRA believes that it is very important to
provide extended time for coordinated testing among firms and FINRA.
Accordingly, FINRA believes a delay of the effective date until no
later than June 1, 2011 is warranted.
    FINRA has filed the proposed rule change for immediate
effectiveness and has requested that the SEC waive the requirement that
the proposed rule change not become operative for 30 days after the
date of the filing, such that FINRA can implement the proposed rule
change immediately.
2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\10\ which requires, among
other things, that FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent
and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. The flexibility to establish an effective date no
later than June 1, 2011 to implement the TRACE ABS filing will allow
FINRA and members sufficient time to make additional necessary
enhancements to the TRACE system and member systems, and to engage in
coordinated testing of the technology. These steps will facilitate
timely and accurate reporting of transactions in Asset-Backed
Securities, and enhance FINRA's surveillance of the market in Asset-
Backed Securities for the protection of investors and in furtherance of
the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The Exchange represented that the proposed rule change qualifies
for immediate effectiveness pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the
Exchange Act \11\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder \12\ because it: (i)
Does not significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) does not impose any significant burden on competition;
and (iii) by its terms, does not become operative for 30 days from the
date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may
designate if consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \13\ In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) requires a self-
regulatory organization to submit to the Commission written notice
of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief
description and text of the proposed rule change, at least five
business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Commission has waived the five-day pre-filing period in this case.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day
operative delay, so that the proposed rule change may become operative
upon filing. The Commission hereby grants the Exchange's request.\14\
The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
The proposal appears reasonably designed to allow firms sufficient time
to make necessary systems and operational changes to facilitate the
timely and accurate reporting of Asset-Backed Securities transactions
as required by the TRACE ABS filing, and waiving the 30-day pre-
operative period will allow FINRA to communicate the new operative date
to its members without undue delay.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ For the purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative
delay, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

Summary of Questions and Responses:

1. Are the instructions for submission clear?   --  Please include any comments on frequency of information collection here.
   A.  -   yes
   B.  -   no..... In filing the NOA, please clarify if the entry date (Box 15) is the actual date allowed entry by customs, OR the arrival date (you can't fill this out if it is the actual date allowed entry by customs, as you need an NOA to acquire "entry."  Provide direction on what should be done if the shipment is delayed or there is a carrier change after the NOA has been filed and approved (and therefore the entry date or shipper is incorrect). For country of origin (box 11) do you wish to know the Producing facility that is on the label, OR the ACTUAL production (meaning formulation) facility. In the event a product is relabeled off-shore, the country of origin on the customs form and the NOA may differ. For Brand name of product (box 6) which brand name should be used if there are multiple? Can direction be placed on the form as to how much advance notice EPA would like a form received by?
   C.  -   no..... Those blocks designated as self explanatory are not necessarily so. Need clarification on net quantities and UOM requirements. CFR 40 156.10 (d) (2)(3)  -  labels require UOM in Liters or Lbs. International trade is done in KGS and Liters. Most of labels have both the English and Metric net quantities on the labels. There are inconsistencies between EPA regions in what is acceptable on NOA in regards to net quantity UOM. Country of origin for EPA purposes needs clarification, often confused with CBP country or origin for entry purposes.
   D.  -  yes
   E.  -   yes

2. Would you be interested in electronic reporting of data?
   A.  -   yes
   B.  -   yes
   C.  -   yes
   D.  -   yes
   E.  -   yes

3. What are the tasks and associated labor burdens (in hours) involved in filing an NOA?

4.  other comments?
      A. none
      B. The NOA process, for the most part, is fine. However, the sections of greatest concern are the entry date (box 15), Carrier (Box 13) and the CBI provisions of the NOA. Boxes 13 & 15 have already been discussed, but in summary, we feel EPA's expectations of the data quality of these two fields is unrealistic, as we have been directed that the changing of an approved NOA is a potential FIFRA violation. Even if such corrections were possible, it would require resubmission of the NOA process, and due to the number of incidents in which the entry date or carrier change due to circumstances beyond our control, this would greatly increase the cost of filing NOAs. Also of concern is that the CBI declaration is being handled inconsistently across EPA regions. Some regions, specifically Region 2 (where the best ocean freight rates are to be had) make Bayer undergo additional legal review of their CBI claims to determine if they are justified. In the case of region 2, it has been stated to Bayer that the delay could be upwards of several weeks to a month. This amounts of a defacto prohibition of our right to declare this information as CBI if it moves through region 2 and interferes with our ability to do business. Furthermore, our competitors and business intelligence consultants attempt to obtain this information to gain insights into our confidential business dealings which also impacts our marketing and sales divisions. Bayer requests a consistent and uniform CBI handling procedure that does not delay our ability to receive imports and deliver them to their respective destinations, and increase the cost of doing business unnecessarily. Electronic NOAs would definitely increase efficiency and reduce cost. Finally, some regions request accompanying documentation (e.g. labels, pro-forma invoices, copies of the customs entry forms, etc.) to facilitate approval of the NOA. Bayer does not mind providing information requested by the EPA, but it is being requested inconsistently across regions. Bayer requests that such additional information be standardized in the NOA process, and across regions.
      C. The greatest cost impact on our business is not in the submission of the NOA's, but the delay in receiving the approval forms back from the Regional Offices in a timely manner to expedite final CBP entry and release. We import multiple shipments of the same active ingredient over the same port of entry numerous times during a production season. Currently none of the EPA regional offices will grant blanket NOA's for multiple shipments arriving in defined period of time. This creates excessive administrative on the part of our brokers, and adds uncertainty to our supply chain in the expected release date and arrival of the goods at the final destination.
      D. none.
      E. none.

perform their enforcement, statistical, analytical, modeling and policy
responsibilities. The IFDS will interface with the U.S. Customs and
Border Protection's (CBP) Automated Commercial Environment (ACE)
program as well as the government-wide International Trade Data System.
This will be a joint project of the following DOT OAs: Research and
Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) (IFDS system manager): the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA); the Maritime
Administration (MARAD); the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); the
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA); the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA); and the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA). Access to the IFDS will be limited to
the statutory authority of each DOT OA to view and use the information.
The IFDS is scheduled to deploy in 2008 and 2009.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
    Records maintained in the IFDS will be used as follows:
    (1) RITA: perform statistical, analytical, modeling and policy
activities;
    (2) FAA: provide support for oversight of international hazardous
materials shipments by air as well as statistical, analytical, and
policy activities;
    (3) FHWA: perform statistical, analytical, modeling, and policy
activities;
    (4) FMCSA: provide enforcement support for commercial truck and bus
safety and related requirements as well as statistical, analytical,
modeling, and policy activities;
    (5) MARAD: provide enforcement of crewing and Government-Impelled
Cargoes requirements as well as statistical, analytical, and policy
activities;
    (6) NHTSA: provide enforcement of auto safety for non-U.S. vehicles
and parts as well as statistical, analytical, and policy activities;
and
    (7) PHMSA: provide enforcement support for international hazardous
materials shipments oversight as well as statistical, analytical and
policy activities.
    (8) See Prefatory Statement of General Routine Uses.

DISCLOSURE TO CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES:
    None.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
    Records will be stored in the International Freight Data System
Database located at the System Manager site as well as at each
participating DOT OA site. Any IFDS paper records will be stored at the
Research and Innovative Technology Administration, Room E36-120, U.S.
DOT Headquarters Building. There is one database (IFDS), which contains
international freight data for use by DOT and maintained by RITA. The
IFDS obtains its data for the Department of Transportation via an
interface with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and
Border Protection, International Trade Data System.

RETRIEVABILITY:
    Records are retrievable by an individual's name and the categories
listed in ``Categories of records in the system.''
