Overview of This Information Collection

    Title: General Declaration.
    OMB Number: 1651-0002.
    Form Number: CBP Form 7507.
    Current Actions: CBP proposes to reduce the burden for this 
information collection by streamlining the Form 7507 and removing 
certain data elements.
    Type of Review: Revision.
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Abstract: CBP Form 7507, General Declaration, must be filed for all 
aircraft required to enter or depart under the provisions of 19 CFR 
122.41 or 122.61. This form is used to document entrance and clearance 
for arriving and departing aircraft at the required inspection 
facilities and inspections by appropriate regulatory agency staffs. 
Flight identifying information, including the aircraft registration 
number, which is not collected elsewhere by CBP, and a declaration 
attesting to the accuracy, completeness and truthfulness of all other 
documents that make up the manifest shall be submitted on the CBP Form 
7507 for aircraft entering or departing the United States, with certain 
exceptions.

Proposed Change

    To reduce paperwork and reduce duplication of information, the CBP 
Form 7507 is being streamlined, and will no longer require respondents 
to provide passenger and crew information, a declaration of health for 
the persons on board, and details about disinfecting and sanitizing 
treatments during the flight. The General Declaration (CBP Form 7507) 
will now only contain:
    1. Flight identifying information.
    2. The aircraft registration number (if not otherwise collected or 
received by CBP).
    3. A declaration attesting to the accuracy, completeness, and 
truthfulness of all other documents that make up the manifest.
    CBP Form 7507 is authorized by 19 U.S.C. 1431, 1433, and 1644a; and 
provided for by 19 CFR 122.43, 122.52, 122.54, 122.73, and 122.144. 
This form is accessible at https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms.
    Type of Information Collection: CBP Form 7507.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 500.
    Estimated Number of Annual Responses per Respondent: 2,644.
    Estimated Number of Total Annual Responses: 1,322,000.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 44,023.

    Dated: February 28, 2023.
