Abstract: This information collection is used to verify which imported goods are entitled to duty-free or reduced duty treatment under Free Trade Agreements. CBP has reevaluated the time necessary to prepare and submit information related to these free trade agreements. Prior to this ICR, CBP estimated a time per response of 12 minutes, or 0.2 hours. Based on our recent evaluation, CBP believes that 2 hours per response is a more accurate estimate. This update has increased the estimated burden hours for this ICR from 71,720 annual hours to 717,200 annual hours. In addition to reevaluating the burden hours associated with this ICR, CBP has also added the Dominican Republic-Central American-United States Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) to this ICR because it has the same information collection requirements as the other FTA's. Previously, CAFTA-DR was reported under OMB Control Number 1651-0125. Combining collection 1651-0125 with this ICR adds 4,800 annual burden hours to this ICR. CBP will submit a discontinuation request for collection 1651-0125. There is no new information required or substantive changes related to Free Trade Agreements.

Short Statement: Burden hours were adjusted because CBP changed its estimate for time per response. Also CAFTA-DR Information Collection, which was approved under OMB number 1651-0125, was added to this Information Collection because the information required is the same as the other FTA's. Also the U.S.-Panama TPA had been inadvertently dropped and was re-instituted into this Information Collection.
