will become a matter of public record.
In this document CBP is soliciting
comments concerning the following
information collection:
Title: African Growth and
Opportunity Act Certificate of Origin.
OMB Number: 1651–0082.
Form Number: None.
Abstract: The African Growth and
Opportunity Act (AGOA) was adopted
by the U.S. with the enactment of the
Trade and Development Act of 2000
(Pub. L.106–200). The objectives of
AGOA are (1) to provide for extension
of duty-free treatment under the
Generalized System of Preferences
(GSP) to import sensitive articles
normally excluded from GSP duty
treatment, and (2) to provide for the
entry of specific textile and apparel
articles free of duty and free of any
quantitative limits from the countries of
sub-Saharan Africa.
For preferential treatment under
AGOA, the exporter is required to
prepare a certificate of origin and
provide it to the importer. The
certificate of origin includes information
such as contact information for the
importer, exporter and producer; the
basis for which preferential treatment is
claimed; and a description of the
imported merchandise. The importers
are required to have the certificate in
their possession at the time of the claim,
and to provide it to Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) upon request. The
collection of this information is
provided for in 19 CFR 10.214, 10.215,
and 10.216.
Instructions for complying with this
regulation are posted on CBP.gov Web
site at: http://www.cbp.gov/linkhandler/
cgov/trade/priority_trade/textiles/tbts/
TBT2001/TBT–01–008.ctt/TBT–01–
008.doc.
Current Actions: This submission is
being made to extend the expiration
date and to revise the burden hours as
a result of updated estimates by CBP of
the number of AGOA Certificates of
Origins prepared on an annual basis.
There are no changes to the information
collected.
Type of Review: Extension with a
change to the burden hours.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
210.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 107.
Estimated Total Annual Responses:
22,494.
Estimated Time per Response: 20
minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 7,648.
