30 minutes per respondent plus 10 minutes recordkeeping depending on individual circumstances . Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden estimate and suggestions
for reducing this burden should be directed to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Asset Management, Washington, DC 20229, and to the Office of Management and Budget,
