SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CBP invites the general public and other 
Federal agencies to comment on proposed and/or continuing information 
collections pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 
104-13; 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). The comments should address the 
accuracy of the burden estimates and ways to minimize the burden 
including the use of automated collection techniques or the use of 
other forms of information technology, as well as other relevant 
aspects of the information collection. The comments that are submitted 
will be summarized and included in the CBP request for Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval. All comments will become a matter 
of public record. In this document CBP is soliciting comments 
concerning the following information collection:
    Title: United States-Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act.
    OMB Number: 1651-0083.
    Form Number: 450.
    Abstract: This collection of information is required to implement 
the duty preference provisions of the United States-Caribbean Basin 
Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA). The provisions of CBTPA were adopted by 
the U.S. with the enactment of the Trade and Development Act of 2000 
(Pub. L.106-200). The objective of the CBTPA is to expand trade 
benefits to countries in the Caribbean Basin. For preferential 
treatment under CBTPA, importers are required to have CBTPA 
Certification of Origin (Form 450) in their possession at the time of 
the claim, and to provide it to CBP upon request. CBP uses the 
information provided on Form 450 to determine if an importer is 
entitled to preferential duty treatment under the provisions of the 
CBTPA.
    Current Actions: This submission is being made to revise the burden 
hours as a result of revised estimates of the number of Form 450s are 
prepared and/or submitted to CBP.
    Type of Review: Extension with a change to the burden hours.
