Title: Request for Entry or Departure for Flights To and From Cuba.
OMB Number: 1651-0134.
Form Number: None.
Abstract: Until recently, direct flights between the United States
and Cuba were required to arrive or depart from one of three named U.S.
airports: John F. Kennedy International Airport, Los Angeles
International Airport, and Miami International Airport. On January 28,
2011, Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) regulations were amended to
allow additional U.S. airports that are able to process international
flights to request approval by CBP to process authorized flights
between the United States and Cuba.
To be eligible to request approval to accept flights to and from
Cuba, an airport must be an international airport, landing rights
airport, or user fee airport, as defined and described in part 122 of
the CBP regulations, and have adequate and up-to-date staffing,
equipment, and facilities to process international traffic. In order
for an airport to seek approval to allow arriving and departing flights
from Cuba, the port authority must send a written request to CBP
requesting permission. Information about the program and how to apply
may be found at: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/newsroom/highlights/cuba_flights.xml.
This information collection is authorized by 19 U.S.C. 1433, 1644a,
8 U.S.C. 1103, and provided for by 19 CFR 122.153.
Current Actions: This submission is being made to extend the
expiration date of this information collection with a change to the
burden hours resulting from revised estimates by CBP of the number of
respondents. There is no change to the information being collected.
Type of Review: Extension (with change).
Affected Public: Businesses.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 30.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Responses: 30.
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 30.
