In this document CBP is soliciting
comments concerning the following
information collection:
Title: Passenger and Crew Manifest
(Advance Passenger Information
System)
OMB Number: 1651–0088
Form Number: None
Abstract: The Advance Passenger
Information System (APIS) is an
automated method in which U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
receives information about passengers
and crew onboard inbound and
outbound international flights before
their arrival in or departure from the
United States. APIS data includes
biographical information for
international air passengers arriving in
or departing from the United States,
allowing the data to be checked against
CBP databases.
The information is submitted for both
commercial and private aircraft flights.
Specific data elements required for each
passenger and crew member include:
full name; date of birth; gender;
citizenship; document type; passport
number; country of issuance and
expiration date; and alien registration
number where applicable.
APIS is authorized under the Aviation
and Transportation Security Act, Public
Law 107–71. Under this statute, the
transmission of passenger and crew
manifest information is required even
for flights where the passengers and
crew have already been pre-screened or
pre-cleared at the foreign location for
admission to the United States. APIS is
required under 19 CFR 122.49a,
122.49b, 122.49c, 122.75a, 122.75b, and
122.22.
Respondents submit their electronic
manifest either through a direct
interface with CBP, or using eAPIS
which is a web-based system that can be
accessed at https://eapis.cbp.dhs.gov/.
Current Actions: This submission is
being made to request an extension with
no change to the burden hours or to the
information collected.

change

Title: Distribution of Continued
Dumping and Subsidy Offset to Affected
Domestic Producers.
OMB Number: 1651–0086.
Form Number: None.
Abstract: This collection of
information is used by CBP to make
distributions of funds pursuant to the
Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset
Act of 2000 (CDSOA). 19 U.S.C. 1675c
(repealed by the Deficit Reduction Act
of 2005, Pub. L. 109–171, § 7601 (Feb.
8, 2006)). This Act prescribes the
administrative procedures under which
antidumping and countervailing duties
assessed on imported products are
distributed to affected domestic
producers (ADPs) that petitioned for or
supported the issuance of the order
under which the duties were assessed.
The amount of any distribution afforded
to these domestic producers is based
upon certain qualifying expenditures
that they incur after the issuance of the
order or finding up to the effective date
of the CDSOA’s repeal, October 1, 2007.
This distribution is known as the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department will submit the proposed
information collection to OMB for
review, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35, as amended). The
Department is required by the Improper
Payments Act of 2002 to submit annual
reports on improper payments
associated with its assisted housing
programs. The information must meet
statistical accuracy tests and requires
on-site file reviews and tenant
interviews that cannot be accomplished
with remote monitoring or HUD data
systems. This Notice is soliciting
comments from members of the public
and affected agencies concerning the
proposed collection of information to:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including if the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (3) Enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
Minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond; including through the use of
appropriate automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology that will reduce respondent
burden (e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses).

Type of Request: Regular.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Department is conducting under
contract a study to update its estimates
of the extent and type of errors
associated with income, rent, and
subsidy determinations for the 4.3
million households covered by the
Public Housing and Section 8 housing
subsidies. The Quality Control process
involves selecting a nationally
representative sample of assisted
households to measure the extent and
types of errors in rent and income
determinations, which in turn cause
subsidy errors. On-site tenant
interviews, file reviews, third-party
income verifications, and income
matching with other Federal data are
conducted. The data obtained are used
to identify the most serious problems
and their associated costs. HUD program
officers are then responsible for
designing and implementing corrective
actions. In addition to providing current
estimates of error, results will be
compared with those from previous
years’ studies. These comparisons will
indicate whether corrective actions
initiated since the 2000 study have been
effective and if changes in priorities are
needed.
The first QC study was completed in
1996 and found that about one-half of
the errors measured using on-site tenant
interviews and file reviews could not be
detected with the 50058/50059 from
data collected by the Department, which
is why HUD and other agencies with
means-tested programs have determined
that on-site reviews and interviews are
an essential complement to remote
monitoring measures. The 2000 study
showed that the calculation errors
detectable with 50058/50059 data had
decreased, probably because this
information was increasingly subject to
automated computational checks. HUD
has initiated a program of corrective
actions and increased monitoring since
2000 and recent studies of tenant
certification and recertification actions
showed significant error reductions in
income and rent determinations.
Future studies are planned on an
annual basis, as required by legislation.
Program monitoring and income
matching policies being implemented
may eliminate the need for an
independent, statistically valid measure
of program errors provided by the
current study design, but such
procedures have yet to be fully
implemented and evaluated. The
Improper Payments Act of 2002 requires
that the Department report on the error
measurements annually. This proposed
