    Abstract: Customs and Border Protection (CBP) plans to conduct a 
customer survey of international travelers seeking entry into the 
United States at the twenty highest volume airports in order to 
determine perceptions of the arrival process at our ports of entry. 
This voluntary customer survey will be conducted using short computer 
or verbal surveys of travelers as they move through entry processing 
areas. Travelers who do not speak English will be given a written 
version of the survey in their language and may submit their responses 
in writing. The survey will include questions about wait times, ease of 
entry processing, and the level of communication, efficiency and 
professionalism of CBP officers. The results and analysis of the survey 
responses will be used to identify actionable items to improve services 
to the traveling public with respect to the entry processes for 
travelers arriving at United States air ports of entry.
    Action: CBP proposes to extend the expiration date of this 
information collection with no change to the burden hours.
    Type of Review: Extension (without change).
    Affected Public: Individuals, Travelers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 21,000.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 5 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,743.
