Abstract: CBP Form 3347, Declaration

knowledge of the facts and/or is not
authorized under a proper power of
attorney by that consignee, a declaration
from the consignee on CBP Form 3347A,
Declaration of Consignee When Entry is
Made by an Agent, may be filed with the
entry documentation or the entry
summary. If the declaration is filed on
CBP Form 3347A, then no bond to
produce a declaration of the consignee
is required. If the declaration is not filed
at entry or entry summary, bond must
be given to produce such declaration,
and the declaration must be presented
within six months after the date that the
bond was given. CBP Form 3347A is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Commission on Fire
Prevention and Control conducted a
comprehensive study of the Nation’s fire
problem and recommended to Congress
actions to mitigate the fire problem,
reduce loss of life and property, and
educate the public on fire protection
and prevention. As a result of the study,
Congress enacted Public Law 93–498,
Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act
of 1974, which establishes the U.S. Fire
Administration to administer fire
prevention and control programs,
supplement existing programs of
research, training, and education, and
encourage new and improved programs
and activities by State and local
governments. Section 9(a) of the Act
authorizes the Administrator, U.S. Fire
Administration (USFA), to operate
directly or through contracts or grants,
an integrated, comprehensive method to
select, analyze, publish, and
disseminate information related to
prevention, occurrence, control, and
results of fires of all types.
NFIRS was established in the mid1970s and is mandated by the Federal

Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974
(Pub. L. (PL) 93–498, as amended)
which authorizes the National Fire Data
Center to gather and analyze
information such as (1) the frequency,
causes, spread, and extinguishment of
fires; (2) injuries and deaths resulting
from fires; (3) information on injuries
sustained by a firefighter; and (4)
information on firefighting activities.
The act further authorizes USFA to
develop uniform data reporting
methods, and to encourage and assist
Federal, State, local and other agencies
in developing and reporting
information. NFIRS is a reporting
standard that fire departments use to
uniformly report on the full range of
their activities, from fire to emergency
medical services to severe weather and
natural disasters. This reporting allows
fire departments, as well as many other
government and non-government
agencies, to quantify their actions and
identify incident and response trends.
This information collection expired
on 04/30/2019. FEMA is requesting a
reinstatement, without change, of a
previously approved information
collection for which approval has
