Overview of This Information Collection
Title: Administrative rulings.
OMB Number: 1651-0085.
Abstract: The collection of information in 19 CFR part 177 is
necessary in order to enable Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
respond to requests by importers and other interested persons for the
issuance of administrative rulings. These rulings pertain to the
interpretation of applicable laws related to prospective and current
transactions involving classification, marking, and country of origin.
The collection of information in Part 177 of the CBP Regulations is
also necessary to enable CBP to make proper decisions regarding the
issuance of binding rulings that modify or revoke prior CBP binding
rulings. This collection of information is authorized by 19 U.S.C. 66,
1202, (General Note 3(i), Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States). The application to obtain an administrative ruling is
accessible at: https://apps.cbp.gov/erulings.
Action: CBP proposes to extend the expiration date of this
information collection with no increase or decrease in the overall
estimated burden hours. However there was a reduction in the Appeals
respondent group and an increase in the Administrative Rulings
respondent group due to updated agency estimates, in addition there was
a decrease in the estimated time per response for the Appeals
respondent group. There is no change to the information being
collected.
Type of Review: Extension (without change).
Affected Public: Businesses.
