    Title: Importer ID Input Record.
    OMB Number: 1651-0064.
    Form Number: CBP Forms 5106.
    Abstract: The collection of the information on the Importer ID 
Input Record (CBP Form 5106) is the basis for identifying entities who 
wish to import merchandise into the United States, act as consignee on 
an importation when not the importer of record, or otherwise do 
business with CBP that would involve the payment of duties, taxes, fees 
or other monies or the refund of same. Each person, business firm, 
Government agency, or other organization that intends to file an import 
entry must file CBP Form 5106 with the first formal entry or request 
for services that will result in the issuance of a bill or a refund 
check upon adjustment of a cash collection. This form must also be 
filed by or on behalf of the ultimate consignee at the first 
importation in which the party acting as ultimate consignee is so 
named. CBP Form 5106 is authorized by 19 U.S.C. 1484 and provided for 
by 19 CFR 24.5. The current version of this form is accessible at: 
http://forms.cbp.gov/pdf/CBP_Form_5106.pdf.
    Action: CBP proposes to extend the expiration date of this 
information collection with an increase in the burden hours from 1,000 
hours to 75,000 due to revised estimates by CBP of the number of 
respondents filing Form 5106. The change in the estimated burden is 
also due to CBP revising the estimate for the time to complete Form 
5106 from 6 minutes to 15 minutes. There are no changes to CBP Form 
5106 or to the information collected.
    Type of Review: Extension (with change).
