Abstract: 8 U.S.C. 1223(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provides for the necessity of a transportation contract. The statute provides that the Attorney General may enter into contracts with transportation lines for the inspection and administration of aliens coming into the United States from a foreign territory or from adjacent islands. No such transportation line shall be allowed to land any such alien in the United States until and unless it has entered into any such contracts which may be required by the Attorney General. Pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, this authority was transferred to the Secretary of Homeland Security. VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:13 Jun 10, 2013 Jkt 229001 The Visa Waiver Program Carrier Agreement (CBP Form I–775) is used by carriers to request acceptance by CBP into the Visa Waiver Program (VWP).

These investments also support jobs. There is PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 a need to better understand the connection between restoring the health and productivity of ecosystems and the resulting economic benefits to local communities. This project aims to increase the available information on the costs and required inputs for ecosystem restoration and the resultant economic benefits of these investments to local economies. The project is comprised of a series of case studies that quantify the economic impacts of restoration projects. The case studies will include examples of collaboratively funded and managed projects to restore a wide range of degraded, damaged, or destroyed ecosystems. In addition to providing improved information on the economic impacts of restoration, these case studies highlight DOI restoration efforts and tell personalized stories about each project and the communities that are positively affected by restoration activities. Project methods include the collection of primary expenditure data and economic inputoutput modeling. Frequency: One time. Estimated total responses: 900. We will make an introductory call to approximately 100 project managers. We expect approximately 100 project managers will respond to the project summary survey. We expect 100 project managers and 500 contractors to respond to the expenditures survey. We expect to follow up with approximately 100 contacts to remind them to complete the survey(s). Estimated total burden hours: 358. We estimate it will take 15 minutes to make the initial contact for the project summary survey; 15 minutes for respondents to complete the project summary survey; 30 minutes for respondents to complete the expenditure survey; and 5 minutes for a follow-up contact. Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’ Burden: There are no ‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens associated with this collection of information.
