SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposed information collection was

Register (79 FR 68458) on November 17, 

2014, allowing for a 60-day comment 

period. This notice allows for an 

additional 30 days for public comments. 

This process is conducted in accordance 

with 5 CFR 1320.10. CBP invites the 

general public and other Federal 

agencies to comment on proposed and/ 

or continuing information collections 

pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13; 44 U.S.C. 

3507). The comments should address: 

(a) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper

agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s

are submitted will be summarized and 

included in the CBP request for OMB 

approval. All comments will become a 

matter of public record. In this 

document, CBP is soliciting comments 

concerning the following information 

collection: 

Title: Free Trade agreements. 

OMB Number: 1651–0117. 

Form Number: None. 

Abstract: Free trade agreements are 

established to reduce and eliminate 

trade barriers, strengthen and develop 

economic relations, and to lay the 

foundation for further cooperation to 

expand and enhance benefits of the 

agreement. These agreements establish 

free trade by reduced-duty treatment on 

imported goods. 

The U.S. has entered into the 

following Free Trade Agreements: 

United States-Chile Free Trade 

Agreement (US–CFTA) (Pub. L. 108–77); 

the Republic of Singapore (Pub. L. 108– 

78, 117 Stat. 948, 19 U.S.C. 3805 note); 

Australia (Pub. L. 108–286); Morocco 

(Pub. L. 108–302); Jordan (Pub. L. 107– 

43); Bahrain (Pub. L. 109–169); Oman 

(Pub. L. 109–283); Peru (Pub. L. 110– 

138, 121 Stat. 1455); Korea (Pub. L. 112– 

41); Colombia (Pub. L. 112–42, 125 Stat. 

462); Panama (Pub. L. 112–43); and 

Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El 

Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and 

Nicaragua (CAFTA–DR) (Pub. L. 109– 

53, 119 Stat. 462). 

These free trade agreements involve 

collection of data elements such as 

information about the importer and 

exporter of the goods, a description of 

the goods, tariff classification number, 

and the preference criterion in the Rules 

of Origin. Respondents can obtain 

information on how to make claims 

under these Free Trade Agreements by 

going to http://www.cbp.gov/trade/freetrade-agreements and use a standard 

fillable format for the FTA submission 

by going to http://www.cbp.gov/

document/guides/certification-origintemplate. 

Current Actions: CBP has reevaluated 

the time necessary to prepare and 

submit information related to these free 

trade agreements. Prior to this 

submission, CBP estimated a time per 

response of 12 minutes, or 0.2 hours. 

Based on our recent evaluation, CBP 

believes that 2 hours per response is a 

more accurate estimate. This update 

increased the estimated burden hours 

for this information collection from 

71,220 annual hours to 722,000 annual 

hours. In addition to reevaluating the 

burden hours associated with free trade 

agreements, CBP has also added the 

Dominican Republic-Central AmericanUnited States Free Trade Agreement 

(CAFTA–DR) to this information 

collection. Previously, CAFTA–DR was 

reported under OMB Control Number 

1651–0125. 

Type of Review: Extension (with 

change). 

Affected Public: Businesses. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

359,400. 

Estimated Number of Total Annual 

Responses: 361,000. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2 

hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 722,000. 

Dated: March 4, 2015.
