This document is filed with the first
formal entry which is submitted or the first request for services
that will result in the issuance of a bill or a refund check upon
adjustment of a cash collection. CBP proposes to revise the CBP
Form 5106 by gathering additional information about the company and
its officers. This will enhance CBP's ability to make an
informative assessment of risk prior to the initial importation,
and will provide CBP with improved awareness regarding the company
and its' officers who have chosen to conduct business with CBP. CBP
also proposes to rename the form Create/Update Importer Identity
Form to more accurately reflect the information collected.

from 75,000 to 225,000.
