*Title:*                     Application to Establish a Centralized Examination Station.                

*OMB Number:*                     1651-0061.                

*Abstract:*                     A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) port director decides when his or her port needs one or more Centralized Examination Stations (CES). A CES is a facility where imported merchandise is made available to CBP officers for physical examination. If it is decided that a CES is needed, the port director solicits applications to operate a CES. The information contained in the application will be used to determine the suitability of the applicant's facility; the fairness of fee structure; and the knowledge of cargo handling operations and of CBP procedures. The names of all corporate officers and all employees who will come in contact with uncleared cargo will also be provided so that CBP may perform background investigations. The CES application is provided for by 19 CFR 118.11 and is authorized by 19 U.S.C. 1499, Tariff Act of 1930.                

*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.

*Affected Public:*                     Businesses.
