summarized and included in the CBP request for OMB approval. All 
comments will become a matter of public record. In this document, CBP 
is soliciting comments concerning the following information collection:
    Title: Prior Disclosure.
    OMB Number: 1651-0074.
    Abstract: The Prior Disclosure program establishes a method for a 
potential violator to disclose to CBP that they have committed an error 
or a violation with respect to the legal requirements of entering 
merchandise into the United States, such as underpaid tariffs or 
duties, or misclassified merchandise. The procedure for making a prior 
disclosure is set forth in 19 CFR 162.74 which requires that 
respondents submit information about the merchandise involved, a 
specification of the false statements or omissions, and what the true 
and accurate information should be. A valid prior disclosure will 
entitle the disclosing party to the reduced penalties pursuant to 19 
U.S.C. 1592(c)(4).
    Current Actions: CBP proposes to extend the expiration date of this 
information collection with no change to the burden hours or to the 
information collected.
    Type of Review: Extension (without change).
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,500.
    Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 3,500.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,500.

    Dated: January 20, 2016.
 Tracey Denning,
 Agency Clearance Officer, U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
