The comments that are submitted will be summarized and included in the CBP request for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval. All comments will become a matter of public record. In this document CBP is soliciting comments concerning the following information collection: Title: Importer ID Input Record. OMB Number: 1651–0064. Form Number: CBP Forms 5106. Abstract: The collection of the information on the Importer ID Input Record (CBP Form 5106) is the basis for identifying entities who wish to import merchandise in to the United States, act as consignee on an importation when not the importer of record, or otherwise do business with CBP that would involve the payment of duties, taxes, fees or other monies or the refund of same. Each person, business firm, Government agency, or other organization that intends to file an import entry must file CBP Form 5106 with the first formal entry or request for services that will result in the issuance of a bill or a refund check upon adjustment of a cash collection. This form must also be filed by or on behalf of the ultimate consignee at the first importation in which the party acting as ultimate consignee is so named. CBP Form 5106 is authorized by 19 U.S.C. 1484 and provided for by 19 CFR 24.5. The current version of this form is accessible at: https://forms.cbp.gov/pdf/ CBP_Form_5106.pdf Action: CBP proposes to extend the expiration date of this information collection with a increased from 1,000 hours to 75,000 due to revised estimates by CBP of the number of respondents filing Form 5106. The change in the estimated burden is also due to CBP revising the estimate for the time to complete Form 5106 from 6 minutes to 15 minutes. There are no changes to CBP Form 5106 or to the information collected. Type of Review: Extension (with change). Affected Public: Businesses and Individuals. Estimated Number of Respondents Annually: 300,000. Estimated Time per Respondent: 15 minutes. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 75,000. PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Dated: June 18, 2012.

OMB Control Number: Pending. Need for the Information and Proposed Use: Leaded paint in housing remains as the last major source of lead exposure to young children. Efforts to reduce childhood lead poisoning have focused on controlling lead paint hazards, specifically lead dust and deteriorated lead-based paint. Lead hazard control programs are looking for ways to make this housing safer without placing an undue financial burden on the property owners or tenants. On August 10, 2009, a petition was submitted to EPA www.regulations.gov; search for EPA–HQ–OPPT–2009–0655) to lower the definition of lead-based paint in pre-1978 ‘‘target’’ housing to some value below the current value of 1 mg/cm 2 or 0.5% by weight (42 U.S.C. 4822(c)), and to lower the lead hazard control standards and clearance standards for lead in dust on floors and window sills in such housing and in pre-1978 child-occupied facilities below the current values of 40 and 250 mg/ft 2 (micrograms per square foot), respectively (40 CFR 745.65(b) and 745.227(e)(8)(viii), and 24 CFR 35.1320(b)(2)(i)), and below the current clearance standard for window troughs of 400 mg/ft2 (40 CFR 745.227(e)(8)(viii), and 24 CFR 35.1320(b)(2)(i)). The HUD Secretary may reduce the level that defines lead-based paint in target housing (42 U.S.C. 4822(c)), and the EPA Administrator identifies the leadbased paint hazard standards (15 U.S.C. 2683), and the lead-based paint standard in child-occupied facilities. In a response dated October 22, 2009, EPA, writing on behalf of itself and HUD, agreed to study the issues and decide whether the lead hazard standards and/or the lead-based paint standard should be changed, and to collaborate with HUD on this effort. (www.epa.gov/oppt/chemtest/pubs/eparesponse.pdf) The Agency and the Department intend to have identical standards for the sake of maximizing their effectiveness in this matter. One of the issues to be considered is the ability to actually determine ‘‘clearance’’ (a work area is sufficiently clean of lead dust) before allowing reoccupancy. The clearance levels for floors and window sills are the same as the lead hazard standards. This survey will question HUD grantees as to their ability to achieve clearance at the current level for floors and windowsills, and whether it would be technically feasible to achieve clearance at potentially lower levels.

Lead Hazard Control Grantees to Support HUD and EPA Requirements to

Paint Standard.
    OMB Control Number: Pending.
    Need for the Information and Proposed Use: Leaded paint in housing 
remains as the last major source of lead exposure to young children. 
Efforts to reduce childhood lead poisoning have focused on controlling 
lead paint hazards, specifically lead dust and deteriorated lead-based 
paint. Lead hazard control programs are looking for ways to make this 
housing safer without placing an undue financial burden on the property 
owners or tenants.
    On August 10, 2009, a petition was submitted to EPA 
www.regulations.gov; search for EPA-HQ-OPPT-2009-0655) to lower the 
definition of lead-based paint in pre-1978 ``target'' housing to some 
value below the current value of 1 mg/cm \2\ or 0.5% by weight (42 
U.S.C. 4822(c)), and to lower the lead hazard control standards and 
clearance standards for lead in dust on floors and window sills in such 
housing and in pre-1978 child-occupied facilities below the current 
values of 40 and 250 [micro]g/ft \2\ (micrograms per square foot), 
respectively (40 CFR 745.65(b) and 745.227(e)(8)(viii), and 24 CFR 
35.1320(b)(2)(i)), and below the current clearance standard for window 
troughs of 400 [micro]g/ft\2\ (40 CFR 745.227(e)(8)(viii), and 24 CFR 
35.1320(b)(2)(i)). The HUD Secretary may reduce the level that defines 
lead-based paint in target housing (42 U.S.C. 4822(c)), and the EPA 
Administrator identifies the lead-based paint hazard standards (15 
U.S.C. 2683), and the lead-based paint standard in child-occupied 
facilities.
    In a response dated October 22, 2009, EPA, writing on behalf of 
itself and HUD, agreed to study the issues and decide whether the lead 
hazard standards and/or the lead-based paint standard should be 
changed, and to collaborate with HUD on this effort. (www.epa.gov/oppt/chemtest/pubs/epa-response.pdf) The Agency and the Department intend to 
have identical standards for the sake of maximizing their effectiveness 
in this matter.
    One of the issues to be considered is the ability to actually 
determine ``clearance'' (a work area is sufficiently clean of lead 
dust) before allowing re-occupancy. The clearance levels for floors and 
window sills are the same as the lead hazard standards. This survey 
will question HUD grantees as to their ability to achieve clearance at 
the current level for floors and windowsills, and whether it would be 
technically feasible to achieve clearance at potentially lower levels.
