SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

previously published in the Federal
Register (79 FR 68458) on November 17,
2014, allowing for a 60-day comment

additional 30 days for public comments.
This process is conducted in accordance
with 5 CFR 1320.10. CBP invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies to comment on proposed and/
or continuing information collections
pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13; 44 U.S.C.

(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimates of the burden of the collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the

maintenance costs). The comments that
are submitted will be summarized and
included in the CBP request for OMB
approval. All comments will become a
matter of public record. In this
document, CBP is soliciting comments
concerning the following information
collection:
Title: Free Trade agreements.
OMB Number: 1651–0117.
Form Number: None.
Abstract: Free trade agreements are
established to reduce and eliminate
trade barriers, strengthen and develop
economic relations, and to lay the
foundation for further cooperation to
expand and enhance benefits of the
agreement. These agreements establish
free trade by reduced-duty treatment on
imported goods.
The U.S. has entered into the
following Free Trade Agreements:
United States-Chile Free Trade
Agreement (US–CFTA) (Pub. L. 108–77);
the Republic of Singapore (Pub. L. 108–
78, 117 Stat. 948, 19 U.S.C. 3805 note);
Australia (Pub. L. 108–286); Morocco
(Pub. L. 108–302); Jordan (Pub. L. 107–
43); Bahrain (Pub. L. 109–169); Oman
(Pub. L. 109–283); Peru (Pub. L. 110–
138, 121 Stat. 1455); Korea (Pub. L. 112–
41); Colombia (Pub. L. 112–42, 125 Stat.
462); Panama (Pub. L. 112–43); and
Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El

Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and
Nicaragua (CAFTA–DR) (Pub. L. 109–
53, 119 Stat. 462).
These free trade agreements involve
collection of data elements such as
information about the importer and
exporter of the goods, a description of
the goods, tariff classification number,
and the preference criterion in the Rules
of Origin. Respondents can obtain
information on how to make claims
under these Free Trade Agreements by
going to http://www.cbp.gov/trade/freetrade-agreements and use a standard
fillable format for the FTA submission
by going to http://www.cbp.gov/
document/guides/certification-origintemplate.
Current Actions: CBP has reevaluated
the time necessary to prepare and
submit information related to these free
trade agreements. Prior to this
submission, 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
increased the estimated burden hours
for this information collection from
71,220 annual hours to 722,000 annual
hours. In addition to reevaluating the
burden hours associated with free trade
agreements, CBP has also added the
Dominican Republic-Central AmericanUnited States Free Trade Agreement
(CAFTA–DR) to this information
collection. Previously, CAFTA–DR was
reported under OMB Control Number
1651–0125.
Type of Review: Extension (with
change).
Affected Public: Businesses.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
359,400.
Estimated Number of Total Annual
Responses: 361,000.
Estimated Time per Response: 2
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 722,000.
Dated: March 4, 2015.
