    Abstract: On January 28, 2011, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
regulations were amended to allow additional U.S. airports that are 
able to process international flights to request approval of 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/newsroom/spotlights/2011-02-03-050000/dhs-cbp-publish-final-rule-allowing-additional-us-ports-entry. 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 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: 2.
    Estimated Total Annual Responses: 2.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
