    Abstract: The United States is a signatory to several international 
Customs conventions governing cargo container and road vehicle 
certification procedures that specify the technical requirements that 
containers and road vehicles must meet to be acceptable for transport 
under Customs seal. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has the 
responsibility of administering the procedures within Title 19, Part 
115 for the purpose of certifying U.S.-manufactured containers and road 
vehicles for use in international transport under Customs seal. The 
certification process involves container and road vehicle 
manufacturers, owners, or operators submitting applications for 
approval to the certifying authorities (the entities designated in 19 
CFR 115.6: The American Bureau of Shipping; International Cargo Gear 
Bureau, Inc.; The National Cargo Bureau, Inc.). Applications to request 
certification approval from the above-mentioned certifying authorities 
are submitted directly to these organizations on the appropriate forms 
(i.e., that are created by the organizations themselves). The 
certification process is voluntary for manufacturers, and therefore 
Part 115 does not require certification of said container and road 
vehicles. A certification of compliance facilitates the efficient 
movement of containers and road vehicles across international 
territories. The procedures for obtaining a certification of a 
container or vehicle are set forth in 19 CFR part 115.
    The respondents to this information collection are members of the 
trade community who are familiar with CBP regulations.
    Type of Information Collection: Cargo Container/Vehicle 
Certification.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 25.
    Estimated Number of Annual Responses per Respondent: 120.
    Estimated Number of Total Annual Responses: 3,000.
    Estimated Time per Response: 3.5 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 10,500.
