Abstract of proposed collection: The

imports of shrimp and shrimp products
pursuant to the State Department’s

into the United States of shrimp
harvested in ways which are harmful to
sea turtles. Respondents are shrimp or
shrimp product exporters and
government officials in countries that
export shrimp or shrimp product to the
United States. The importer is required
to present the DS–2031 form at the port
of entry into the United States, to retain
the DS–2031 form for a period of three
years subsequent to entry, and during
that time to make the DS–2031 form
available to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection or the Department of State
upon request.
Methodology: The DS–2031 form is
completed by the exporter, the importer,
and under certain conditions a
government official of the harvesting
country. The DS–2031 form
accompanies shipments of shrimp and
shrimp products to the United States
and is to be made available to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection at the
time of entry and for three years after
entry.

hereby soliciting public comment. Last
