Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There was a decrease in the burden hours from 51,000 hours to 42,000. This is because CBP had previously reported that there were special record keeping requirements associated with Form 3311. Upon further research and evaluation, CBP determined that this Form and the associated sections of the regulations do not contain any record keeping requirements. Therefore, the 9,000 hours of record keeping that were previously reported were removed from the burden hours.
