Overview of This Information Collection
Title: Cargo Container and Road Vehicle Certification for Transport
Under Customs Seal.
OMB Number: 1651-0124.
Form Number: N/A.
Current Actions: This submission will rename the information
collection request (ICR) and extend the expiration date.
Type of Review: Extension (with change).
Affected Public: Businesses.
Abstract: The United States is a signatory to several international
Customs conventions governing cargo container and road vehicle
certification procedures that specify the technical requirements that
containers and road vehicles must meet to be acceptable for transport
under Customs seal. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has the
responsibility of administering the procedures within Title 19, Part
115 for the purpose of certifying U.S.-manufactured containers and road
vehicles for use in international transport under Customs seal. The
certification process involves container and road vehicle
manufacturers, owners, or operators submitting applications for
approval to the certifying authorities (the entities designated in 19
CFR 115.6: The American Bureau of Shipping; International Cargo Gear
Bureau, Inc.; The National Cargo Bureau, Inc.).
[[Page 24895]]
Applications to request certification approval from the above-mentioned
certifying authorities are submitted directly to these organizations on
the appropriate forms (i.e., that are created by the organizations
themselves).
The certification process is voluntary for manufacturers, and
therefore Part 115 does not require certification of said container and
road vehicles. A certification of compliance facilitates the efficient
movement of containers and road vehicles across international
territories. The procedures for obtaining a certification of a
container or vehicle are set forth in 19 CFR part 115.
The respondents to this information collection are members of the
trade community who are familiar with CBP regulations.
New Change
CBP is changing the name of this previously approved information
collection, from `Transport Under Customs Seal' to `Cargo Container and
Road Vehicle Certification for Transport Under Customs Seal'. There are
no changes to the method of collection, information collected, or
burden reported for this information collection request (ICR). This
change is to align the collection title with the regulation language.
Type of Information Collection: Cargo Container/Vehicle
Certification.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 25.
Estimated Number of Annual Responses per Respondent: 120.
Estimated Number of Total Annual Responses: 3,000.
Estimated Time per Response: 3.5 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 10,500.

Protection.
