Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There are no changes to the information collected on CBP Form 7501. However, the number of respondents and responses were revised based on a data query that CBP ran. Also, the estimated time per response for informal entries was raised from 5 minutes to 15 minutes. The burden hours were adjusted to account for the revisions to these two estimates. The $4,200,525 in costs associated with the Softwood Lumber entries was deleted because it was added erroneously in the previous ICR submission. This cost figure is not associated with this ICR and is a result of clerical error during ROCIS input. CBP proposes to add the new 7501A, Document/Payment Transmittal form. 300 burden hours were increased to reflect this new form.
