CBP Requesting Comments on Collection of Trusted Trader Information

On Monday, August 31, 2015, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced it will be collecting comments on the draft application for its Trusted Trader Program (the Program). CBP invites the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on the proposed information collection pursuant to the Paperwork Reductions Act of 1995 by September 30, 2015. Comments should address:

  • Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency;
  • The accuracy of the agency’s estimates of the burden of the collection of information;
  • Ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected;
  • Ways to minimize the burden; and
  • Annual costs of respondents from the collection of information.
