Overview of This Information Collection
Title: Application for Extension of Bond for Temporary Importation.
OMB Number: 1651-0015.
Form Number: CBP Form 3173.
Current Actions: CBP proposes to extend the expiration date of this
information collection and to revise this information collection to
allow electronic submission via the Document Image System (DIS). There
is no change to the information collected and no change to CBP Form
3173.
Type of Review: Revision.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Abstract: Imported merchandise which is to remain in the customs
territory for a period of one year or less without the payment of
duties with the intent to destroy or export is entered as a temporary
importation of goods under bond (TIB), as authorized under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (19 U.S.C. 1202).
Consistent with 19 CFR 10.37, when this time period is not sufficient,
importers and brokers may request an extension by submitting a CBP Form
3173, ``Application for Extension of Bond for Temporary Importation'',
either electronically or manually, to the Center Director. The period
of time may be extended for not more than two further periods of 1 year
each, or such shorter periods as may be appropriate. An Extension may
be granted by CBP, upon written or electronic submission of a CBP Form
3173, provided that the articles have not been exported or destroyed
before receipt of the application, and liquidated damages have not been
assessed under the bond before receipt of the application. CBP Form
3173 is provided for in 19 CFR 10.37 and is accessible at: <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title=3173">https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title=3173</a>.
CBP published its plan to conduct a test of the National Customs
Automation Program (NCAP) concerning document imaging in the Federal
Register (77 FR 20835), on April 6, 2012. Under the test, certain
Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) participants are able to submit
electronic images of a specific set of CBP and Participating Government
Agency (PGA) forms and supporting information to CBP. Specifically,
importers, and brokers, are allowed to submit official CBP documents
and specified PGA forms via the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).
Although the first phase of the DIS test was limited to certain CBP and
PGA forms, the Federal Register notice advises that subsequent
deployment phases of DIS will incorporate additional forms and that
these other forms may be referenced in the DIS implementation
guidelines. ACE participants may now submit the CBP Form 3173 via the
DIS.
This information collection is necessary to ensure compliance with
19 CFR 10.37 and the DIS guidance.
Proposed Change:
Respondents will be able to submit information electronically
through the Document Image System (DIS).
Type of Information Collection: Application for Extension of Bond
for Temporary Importation (Form 3173).
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,822.
Estimated Number of Annual Responses per Respondent: 14.
Estimated Number of Total Annual Responses: 25,508.
Estimated Time per Response: .217 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 5,535.
Dated: April 26, 2022.

Branch Chief, Economic Impact Analysis Branch, U.S. Customs and Border
Protection.
