Paperwork Rule Continues for Carriers
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is extending (without change) the information collection titled "Screening Requirements for Carriers" (OMB No. 1651-0122). The collection covers 41 respondents with an estimated 1 response per respondent, an estimated 100 hours per response, and an estimated total annual burden of 4,100 hours.
Provide Evidence To Keep Fine Relief
To be eligible for an automatic reduction, refund, or waiver of a fine under INA section 273(a)(1) and 273(b)(1), a carrier must provide CBP evidence that it screened all passengers in accordance with the procedures listed in 8 CFR 273. Examples of acceptable evidence include a description of the carrier's document screening training program, the number of employees trained, dates and numbers of improperly documented aliens intercepted at ports of embarkation, and other documentation of screening efforts.
