The comments should address: (a)

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimates of the burden of the
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; (d)
ways to minimize the burden including
the use of automated collection

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: Holders or Containers which
Enter the United States Duty Free.
OMB Number: 1651–0035.
Form Number: None.
Abstract: All articles that are brought
into the United States are subject to
duty unless they are specifically exempt
under the Harmonized Tariff Schedules
of the United States (HTSUS), codified
as 19 U.S.C. 1202. Item 9801.00.10
(HTSUS) provides that articles that were
manufactured in the U.S. and exported
and returned without having been
advanced in value or improved in
condition by any process of
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
manufacture may be brought back into
the U.S. duty-free. In addition, Item
9803.00.50 (HTSUS) provides for the
duty-free entry of substantial holders or
containers of foreign manufacture if
duty had been paid upon a previous
importation pursuant to the provisions
of 19 CFR 10.41b.
Although an article may be brought
back into the United States without
being subject to duty, a consumption
entry must nevertheless be made along
with the reason for the article not being
subject to duty set forth on the entry.
However, an importer who brings in
merchandise packed in U.S.
manufactured containers or holders or
previously duty-paid containers or
holders, and does so several times a year
involving a great many containers or
holders, may mark the container or
holder with the HTSUS number in lieu
of filing of entry papers each time. CBP
believes such frequent filing of entry
papers for these containers or holders
would be overly burdensome to the
importer or shipper.
19 CFR 10.41 provides that
substantial holders or containers are to
have prescribed markings in clear and
conspicuous letters of such a size that
they will be easily discernable. Section
10.41b of the CBP regulations eliminates
the need for an importer to file entry
documents by instead requiring the
marking of the containers or holders to
indicate under which item number of
the HTSUS the containers or holders are
entitled duty free entry.
In order to comply with 19 CFR
10.41b, the owner of the holder or
container is required to place the
markings on a metal tag or plate
containing the following information:
9801.00.10, HTSUS; the name of the
owner; and the serial number assigned
by the owner. In the case of serially
numbered holders or containers of
foreign manufacture for which free
clearance under the second provision of
item 9803.00.50 HTSUS is claimed, the
owner must place the following
markings containing the following
information: 9803.00.50 HTSUS; the
port code numbers of the port of entry;
the entry number; the last two digits of
the fiscal year of entry covering the
importation of the holders and
containers on which duty was paid; the
name of the owner; and the serial
number assigned by the owner.
Action: CBP proposes to extend the
expiration date of this information
collection with no change to the burden
hours or to the information collected.
Type of Review: Extension (without
change).
Affected Public: Businesses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 8 of the USHA (42 U.S.C.
1437f) authorizes housing assistance to
aid lower-income families in renting
safe and decent housing. Housing
assistance payments are limited by
FMRs established by HUD for different
geographic areas. In the HCV program,
the FMR is the basis for determining the
‘‘payment standard amount’’ used to
calculate the maximum monthly
subsidy for an assisted family (see 24
CFR 982.503). In general, the FMR for
an area is the amount that would be
needed to pay the gross rent (shelter
rent plus utilities) of privately owned,
decent, and safe rental housing of a
modest (non-luxury) nature with
suitable amenities. In addition, all rents
subsidized under the HCV program
must meet reasonable rent standards.
Small Area FMRs (SAFMRs) are subject
to all of the same rules and regulations
that govern the use of all other FMRs.
II. Procedures for the Development of
FMRs
Section 8(c) of the USHA requires the
Secretary of HUD to publish FMRs
periodically, but not less frequently
than annually. Section 8(c) states, in
part, as follows:
Proposed fair market rentals for an area
shall be published in the Federal Register
with reasonable time for public comment and
shall become effective upon the date of
publication in final form in the Federal
Register. Each fair market rental in effect
under this subsection shall be adjusted to be
effective on October 1 of each year to reflect
changes, based on the most recent available
data trended so the rentals will be current for
the year to which they apply, of rents for
existing or newly constructed rental dwelling
units, as the case may be, of various sizes and
types in this section.
