Comments should be addressed to the OMB Desk Officer for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Department of Homeland Security, and sent to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov.

CBP said the information collection is necessary to enable it to respond to requests by importers and others for the issuance of administrative rulings on the interpretation of applicable laws involving classification, marking, and country of origin. It estimates 12,000 respondents, with an average of 10 hours per respondent, plus, for appeals, 200 respondents at an average of 40 hours each.
