In this document CBP is soliciting comments concerning the following information collection:

*Title:*                     Declaration of Person Who Performed Repairs.                

*OMB Number:*                     1651-0048.                

*Form Number:*                     None.                

*Abstract:*                     The “Declaration of Persons Who Performed Repairs or Alterations,” as required by 19 CFR 10.8, is used in connection with the entry of articles entered under subheadings 9802.00.40 and 9802.00.50, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Articles entered under these HTSUS provisions are articles that were in the U.S. and were exported temporarily for repairs. Upon their return, duty is only assessed on the value of the repairs performed abroad and not on the full value of the article. The declaration under 19 CFR 10.8 includes information such as a description of the article and the repairs, the value of the article and the repairs, and a declaration by the owner, importer, consignee, or agent having knowledge of the pertinent facts. The information in this declaration is used by CBP to determine the value of the repairs and assess duty only on the value of those repairs.                

*Current Actions:*                     CBP proposes to extend the expiration date of this information collection with no change to the burden hours or to the information collected.                

*Type of Review:*                     Extension (without change).                

*Affected Public:*                     Businesses.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     10,236.                

*Estimated Number of Total Annual Responses:*                     20,472.
