So I've been wanting to fly to the Bahamas and understand all of the documents required to cross over. However, AIM 5-6-4 has me confused on a couple of items… 

For instance, the AIM states that “The estimated time of ADIZ penetration must be filed with the aeronautical facility at least 15 minutes prior to penetration except for flight in the Alaskan ADIZ, in which case report prior to penetration.” Does this mean that I must verbally report when I am 15 minutes out from the ADIZ to ATC, or file a DVFR flight plan at least 15 minutes prior to crossing? 

Also, 5-6-4 also states that the flight plan must contain the time and point of ADIZ penetration. Is this something that pilots are responsible to do, or does Flight Service handle this information and forward it to NORAD once it is filed? If pilots are responsible, how is it entered into the remarks section of the ICAO flight plan?
