Various Special Tariff Treatment Provisions.
    OMB Number: 1651-0067.
    Form Number: None.
    Abstract: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is responsible 
for determining whether imported articles that are classified under 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 
9801.00.10, 9802.00.20, 9802.00.25, 9802.00.40, 9802.00.50, and 
9802.00.60 are entitled to duty-free or reduced duty treatment. In 
order to file under these HTSUS provisions, importers, or their agents, 
must have the declarations that are provided for in 19 CFR 10.1(a), 
10.8(a), and 10.9(a) in their possession at the time of entry and 
submit them to CBP upon request. These declarations enable CBP to 
ascertain whether the statutory conditions and requirements of these 
HTSUS provisions have been satisfied. CBP proposes to add the 
declaration filed under HTSUS 9817.00.40 in accordance with 19 CFR 
10.121 to this information collection.
    Current Actions: CBP proposes to extend the expiration date of this 
information collection with a change to the burden hours resulting from

9817.00.40. There are no other changes to the information being 
collected.
