Title: Entry Summary.
OMB Number: 1651–0022.
Form Number: CBP Form 7501
Abstract: CBP Form 7501, Entry
Summary, is used to identify
merchandise entering the commerce of
the United States, and to document the
amount of duty and/or tax paid. CBP
Form 7501 is submitted by the importer,
or the importer’s agent, for each import
transaction. The data on this form is
used by CBP as a record of the import
transaction; to collect the proper duty,
taxes, certifications and enforcement
information; and to provide data to the
U.S. Census Bureau for statistical
purposes. Collection of the data on this
form is authorized by 19 U.S.C. 1484
and provided for by 19 CFR 142.11 and
CFR 141.61. CBP Form 7501 and
accompanying instructions can be found
at http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/
forms/.
CBP also proposes to establish a new
form called the Document/Payment
Transmittal. This form can be used by
the trade community to submit
additional documentation associated
with an ACE entry summary when it
involves information that cannot be
submitted electronically such as check
payments and commercial invoices.
Current Actions: CBP proposes to
extend the expiration date of this
information collection with a change to
the burden hours as a result updated
estimates by CBP regarding response
times and numbers of entry summaries
filed. Also, CBP is proposing to add the
new Document/Payment Transmittal
form.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
A draft Programmatic Environmental
Assessment (PEA) for the deployment
and operation of Low Energy X-Ray
Inspection Systems (LEXRIS) at CBP
operational areas has been completed by
the U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP), Office of Information and
Technology, Laboratories and Scientific
Services, Interdiction Technology
Branch. The draft PEA is available for
public comment.
The purpose of deploying and
operating LEXRIS is to non-intrusively
scan vehicles for the presence of
contraband, including weapons of mass
destruction, explosives, and illicit
drugs. Use of LEXRIS at U.S. ports of
entry, for example, directly supports
CBP’s mission of securing the U.S.
borders and homeland from terrorists
and other threats while simultaneously
facilitating legitimate trade and travel by
assisting CBP personnel in preventing
contraband, including illegal drugs and
terrorist weapons, from entering the
United States.
Two different LEXRIS models are
available. One system is mobile,
mounted on a truck or van type platform
and will be used at CBP operational
areas. The system can be driven along
side a parked vehicle and will scan the
vehicle as it drives by. The driver and
passenger(s) will exit the vehicle to be
scanned and be escorted outside the
controlled area before the vehicle is
scanned. The other system is a
stationary, portal configuration that will
be installed along an existing traffic
lane. Vehicles will be scanned as they
are driven through the portal.
Occupants of the vehicle will have the
option of remaining in the vehicle while
the driver drives it through the portal or
exiting the vehicle and having CBP
personnel drive it through the portal.
Examples of CBP operational areas
include, but are not limited to, ports of
entry, CBP checkpoints, and locations of
events designated as national special
security events.
LEXRIS is needed to fill a unique
capability to detect objects that are not
effectively visualized by other nonintrusive inspection technologies
currently used by CBP. LEXRIS gives a
clear image of objects in the vehicle,
including objects that may be hidden in
fenders, tires, trunks, gas tanks, and
under hoods. LEXRIS provides CBP
personnel with information about what
may be encountered during a manual
search and, in some cases, will
