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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden hours were decreased as a result of removing the recordkeeping portion of this clearance. Although, CBP had previously reported that there were recordkeeping requirements related to the Protest section of the CBP regulations (19 CFR Part 174), our analysis indicates that there are no recordkeeping provisions in this regulation. In addition, the burden hours for reporting were increased as a result of revised estimates by CBP. CBP had previously reported that it would take 30 minutes to complete Form 19. However, upon further analysis, it was determined that some Protests could take considerably longer. Therefore, CBP proposes raising the time per response to 60 minutes.
