    Title: Deferral of Duty on Large Yachts Imported for Sale.
    OMB Number: 1651-0080.
    Abstract: This collection of information is required to ensure 
compliance with 19 U.S.C. 1484b which provides that an otherwise 
dutiable yacht that exceeds 79 feet in length, is used primarily for 
recreation or pleasure, and had been previously sold by a manufacturer 
or dealer to a retail customer, may be imported without the payment of 
duty if the yacht is imported with the intention to offer for sale at a 
boat show in the United States. The statute provides for the deferral 
of payment of duty until the yacht is sold but specifies that the duty 
deferral period may not exceed 6 months. This collection of information 
is provided for by 19 CFR 4.94a which requires the submission of 
information to CBP such as the name and address of the owner of the 
yacht, the dates of cruising in the waters of the United States, 
information about the yacht, and the ports of arrival and departure.
    Action: CBP proposes to extend the expiration date of this 
information collection with no change to the estimated burden hours or 
to the information collected.
    Type of Review: Extension (with no change).
    Affected Public: Businesses and Individuals.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 50.
    Estimated Number of Total Annual Responses: 50.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
