Abstract: The Canadian Border Boat Landing Permit (CBP Form I-68)
allows participants entering the United States along the northern
border by small pleasure boats weighing less than 5 tons to
telephonically report their arrival without having to appear in person
for an inspection by a CBP officer. United States citizens, Lawful
Permanent Residents of the United States, Canadian citizens, and Landed
Residents of Canada who are nationals of the Visa Waiver Program
countries listed in 8 CFR 217.2(a) are eligible to participate.
The information collected on CBP Form I-68 allows people who enter
the United States from Canada by small pleasure boats to be inspected
only once during the boating season, rather than each time they make an
entry. This information collection is provided for by 8 CFR 235.1(g)
and Section 235 of Immigration and Nationality Act. CBP Form I-68 is
accessible at http://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title=68&=Apply.

expiration date with no change to the burden hours or to the
information collected.
