Overview of This Information 

Collection 

Title: U.S. Customs Declaration. 

OMB Number: 1651–0009. 

Form Number: CBP Form 6059B. 

Current Actions: Extension. 

Type of Review: Extension (without 

change). 

Affected Public: Individuals. 

Abstract: CBP Form 6059B, Customs 

Declaration, is used as a standard report 

of the identity and residence of each 

person arriving in the United States. 

This form is also used to declare 

imported articles to U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) in accordance 

with 19 CFR 122.27, 148.12, 148.13, 

148.110, 148.111; 31 U.S.C. 5316 and 

Section 498 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 1498). 

Section 148.13 of the CBP regulations 

prescribes the use of the CBP Form 

6059B when a written declaration is 

required of a traveler entering the 

United States. Generally, written 

declarations are required from travelers 

arriving by air or sea. Section 148.12 

requires verbal declarations from 

travelers entering the United States, 

unless an inspecting officer requires a 

written declaration on CBP Form 6059B. 

Generally, verbal declarations are 

required from travelers arriving by land. 

CBP continues to find ways to 

improve the entry process through the 

use of mobile technology to ensure it is 

safe and efficient. To that end, CBP is 

testing the operational effectiveness of a 

process which allows travelers to use a 

mobile app to submit information to 

CBP prior to arrival. This process, called 

Mobile Passport Control (MPC) which is 

a mobile app that allows travelers to 

self-segment upon arrival into the 

United States—a process also known as 

intelligent queuing. The submission of 

information in advance using MPC 

allows CBP to direct travelers to the 

appropriate queue in primary or selfsegment directly to secondary if 

additional inspection is necessary. The 

continued testing also helps determine 

under what circumstances CBP should 

require a written customs declaration 

(CBP Form 6059B) and when it is 

beneficial to admit travelers who make 

an oral customs declaration during the 

primary inspection. MPC eliminates the 

administrative tasks performed by the 

officer during a traditional inspection 

and in most cases will eliminate the 

need for respondents/travelers to fill out 

a paper declaration. MPC provides a 

more efficient and secure in person 

inspection between the CBP Officer and 

the traveler. 

Another electronic process that CBP is 

testing in lieu of the paper CBP Form 

6059B is the Automated Passport 

Control (APC). This is a CBP program 

that facilitates the entry process for 

travelers by providing self-service 

kiosks in CBP’s Primary Inspection area 

that travelers can use to make their 

declaration. 

Both APC and MPC allow an 

electronic method for travelers to 

answer the questions that appear on 

CBP Form 6059B without filling out a 

paper form. 

A sample of CBP Form 6059B can be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

With some exceptions, the 

Endangered Species Act (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.) prohibits activities that 

constitute take of listed species unless a 

Federal permit is issued that allows 

such activity. The ESA’s definition of 

‘‘take’’ includes hunting, shooting, 

harming, wounding, or killing but also 

such activities as pursuing, harassing, 

trapping, capturing, or collecting. 

The ESA and our implementing 

regulations in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) at title 50, part 17, 

provide for issuing such permits and 

require that we invite public comment 

before issuing permits for activities 

involving endangered species. 

A recovery permit we issue under the 

ESA, section 10(a)(1)(A), authorizes the 

permittee to conduct activities with 

endangered or threatened species for 

scientific purposes that promote 

recovery or enhance the species’ 

propagation or survival. These activities 

often include such prohibited actions as 

capture and collection. Our regulations 

implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for 

these permits are found at 50 CFR 17.22 

for endangered wildlife species, 50 CFR 

17.32 for threatened wildlife species, 50 

CFR 17.62 for endangered plant species, 

and 50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant 

species.

enhancement of propagation or survival 

of the species in the wild. We invite
