    Abstract: The Canadian Border Boat Landing Permit (CBP Form I-68) 
allows participants entering the United States along the northern 
border by small pleasure boats weighing less than 5 tons to 
telephonically report their arrival without having to appear in person 
for an inspection by a CBP officer. United States citizens, Lawful 
Permanent Residents of the United States, Canadian citizens, Landed 
Commonwealth Residents of Canada, and Landed Residents of Canada who 
are nationals of the Visa Waiver Program countries listed in 8 CFR 
217.2(a) are eligible to participate.
    The information collected on CBP Form I-68 allows people who enter 
the United States from Canada by small pleasure boats to be inspected 
only once during the boating season, rather than each time they make an 
entry. This information collection is provided for by 8 CFR 235.1(e) 
and Section 235 of Immigration and Nationality Act. CBP Form I-68 is 
accessible at http://forms.cbp.gov/pdf/CBP_Form_I68.pdf.
