Overview of This Information Collection
Title: Visa Waiver Signatory Carrier Program (Form I-775).
OMB Number: 1651-0110.
Form Number: I-775.
Current Actions: Revision.
Type of Review: Revision.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Abstract: Section 233(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA) (8 U.S.C. 1223(a)) provides for the necessity of a transportation
contract. The statute provides that the Attorney General may enter into
contracts with transportation lines for the inspection and admission of
noncitizens coming into the United States from a foreign territory or
from adjacent islands. No such transportation line shall be allowed to
land any such noncitizen in the United States until and unless it has
entered into any such contracts which may be required by the Attorney
General. Pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, this authority
was transferred to the Secretary of Homeland Security.
The Visa Waiver Program Carrier Agreement (CBP Form I-775) is used
by carriers to request acceptance by CBP into the Visa Waiver Program
(VWP). This form is an agreement whereby carriers agree to the terms of
the VWP as delineated in Section 217(e) of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1187(e)).
Once participation is granted, CBP Form I-775 serves to hold carriers
liable for certain transportation costs, to ensure the completion of
required forms, and to require sharing passenger data, among other
requirements. Regulations are promulgated at 8 CFR 217.6, Carrier
Agreements. A fillable copy of CBP Form I-775 is accessible at: <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2019-Aug/CBP%20Form%20I-775.pdf">https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2019-Aug/CBP%20Form%20I-775.pdf</a>.
Proposed Change: The requirement to submit original documents
bearing original signatures of company representatives, was modified to
include electronic transfer of CBP Form I-775 while COVID-19
restrictions were in place. CBP would like to make the electronic
submission and approval of this information permanent.
Type of Information Collection: I-775.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 220.
Estimated Number of Annual Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Number of Total Annual Responses: 220.
Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 110.

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