Title: Entry Summary. 

OMB Number: 1651–0022. 

Form Number: CBP Form 7501 

Abstract: CBP Form 7501, Entry 

Summary, is used to identify 

merchandise entering the commerce of 

the United States, and to document the 

amount of duty and/or tax paid. CBP 

Form 7501 is submitted by the importer, 

or the importer’s agent, for each import 

transaction. The data on this form is 

used by CBP as a record of the import 

transaction; to collect the proper duty, 

taxes, certifications and enforcement 

information; and to provide data to the 

U.S. Census Bureau for statistical 

purposes. Collection of the data on this 

form is authorized by 19 U.S.C. 1484 

and provided for by 19 CFR 142.11 and 

CFR 141.61. CBP Form 7501 and 

accompanying instructions can be found 

at http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/ 

forms/. 

CBP also proposes to establish a new 

form called the Document/Payment 

Transmittal. This form can be used by 

the trade community to submit 

additional documentation associated 

with an ACE entry summary when it 

involves information that cannot be 

submitted electronically such as check 

payments and commercial invoices. 

Current Actions: CBP proposes to 

extend the expiration date of this 

information collection with a change to 

the burden hours as a result updated 

estimates by CBP regarding response 

times and numbers of entry summaries 

filed. Also, CBP is proposing to add the 

new Document/Payment Transmittal 

form. 

Type of Review: Revision and 

Extension.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

A draft Programmatic Environmental 

Assessment (PEA) for the deployment 

and operation of Low Energy X-Ray 

Inspection Systems (LEXRIS) at CBP 

operational areas has been completed by 

the U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP), Office of Information and 

Technology, Laboratories and Scientific 

Services, Interdiction Technology 

Branch. The draft PEA is available for 

public comment. 

The purpose of deploying and 

operating LEXRIS is to non-intrusively 

scan vehicles for the presence of 

contraband, including weapons of mass 

destruction, explosives, and illicit 

drugs. Use of LEXRIS at U.S. ports of 

entry, for example, directly supports 

CBP’s mission of securing the U.S. 

borders and homeland from terrorists 

and other threats while simultaneously 

facilitating legitimate trade and travel by 

assisting CBP personnel in preventing 

contraband, including illegal drugs and 

terrorist weapons, from entering the 

United States. 

Two different LEXRIS models are 

available. One system is mobile, 

mounted on a truck or van type platform 

and will be used at CBP operational 

areas. The system can be driven along 

side a parked vehicle and will scan the 

vehicle as it drives by. The driver and 

passenger(s) will exit the vehicle to be 

scanned and be escorted outside the 

controlled area before the vehicle is 

scanned. The other system is a 

stationary, portal configuration that will 

be installed along an existing traffic 

lane. Vehicles will be scanned as they 

are driven through the portal. 

Occupants of the vehicle will have the 

option of remaining in the vehicle while 

the driver drives it through the portal or 

exiting the vehicle and having CBP 

personnel drive it through the portal. 

Examples of CBP operational areas 

include, but are not limited to, ports of 

entry, CBP checkpoints, and locations of 

events designated as national special 

security events. 

LEXRIS is needed to fill a unique 

capability to detect objects that are not 

effectively visualized by other nonintrusive inspection technologies 

currently used by CBP. LEXRIS gives a 

clear image of objects in the vehicle, 

including objects that may be hidden in 

fenders, tires, trunks, gas tanks, and 

under hoods. LEXRIS provides CBP 

personnel with information about what 

may be encountered during a manual 

search and, in some cases, will
