Paperwork Reduction Act Notice: The Paperwork Reduction Act says we must tell you why we are collecting this information, how we will use it, and whether
you have to give it to us. We ask for this information to carry out U.S. Customs and Border Protection laws of the United States. This form is used by
licensed cartmen or lightermen or their employees as an application to apply for a CBP identification card and is required to obtain or retain a benefit. The
estimated average burden associated with this collection of information is 17 minutes per respondent or recordkeeper depending on individual circumstances.
The valid OMB Control Number for this Information Collection is 1651-0008.
Pursuant to the requirements of Public law 93-579 (Privacy Act of 1974), notice is hereby given that the authority to collect information on CBP Form 3078 is
5 U.S.C. 301, Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1950; 19 U.S.C. 1551, 1565, 1624, 1641; 19 CFR 112.42. The principal purpose for collecting the information is
to enable CBP to conduct a background investigation and thereby determine whether the applicant meets the criteria required for the issuance of an
identification card. The information collected and contained in the applicant's file may be provided to those employees of CBP who have a need for the
records in the performance of their duties. The information may also be used, when deemed appropriate, in a proceeding to revoke or suspend the
identification card. Disclosure of all information requested on CBP Form 3078 is voluntary; however, failure to disclose some or all of this information may
result in CBP's inability to conduct the required background investigation.
