Overview of This Information Collection

    Title: Canadian Border Boat Landing Permit.
    OMB Number: 1651-0108.
    Form Number: CBP Form I-68.
    Current Actions: This submission is being made to extend the 
expiration date with a decrease to the burden hours. There is no change 
to the information collected.
    Type of Review: Extension (With Change).
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Abstract: The Canadian Border Boat Landing Permit, U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) Form I-68, generally allows select individuals 
entering the United States along the

[[Page 4836]]

northern border by small \1\ pleasure boats to report their arrival and 
make entry without having to travel to a designated port of entry for 
an inspection by a CBP officer. United States citizens, Lawful 
Permanent Residents of the United States, Canadian citizens, and Landed 
Residents of Canada who are nationals of the Visa Waiver Program 
countries listed in 8 CFR 217.2(a) are eligible to apply for the 
permit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Weighing less than five net tons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The information collected on CBP Form I-68 allows eligible 
individuals 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(g) and Section 235 of Immigration and Nationality 
Act. CBP Form I-68 is accessible at http://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title=68&=Apply.
    CBP has developed a smart phone application known as Reporting 
Offsite Arrival--Mobile (ROAM) that will generally allow travelers to 
electronically complete their I-68 application, report their arrival in 
the United States, and make U.S. entry using automated document 
(passport) reading, global positioning system (GPS) location, and video 
chat. CBP believes providing the traveling public with the option to 
use this smart phone app will increase traveler compliance with U.S. 
arrival and entry requirements. Additionally, the ROAM app will allow 
CBP officers to remotely conduct traveler interviews with a phone's 
video chat capability, and replace other technologies used for remote 
inspections that are obsolete or inefficient.
