    Title: Visa Waiver Program Carrier Agreement.
    OMB Number: 1651-0110.
    Form Number: CBP Form I-775.
    Abstract: Section 223 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) 
(8 U.S.C. 1223(a)) 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.
    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). This form is an agreement whereby carriers agree to the terms of 
the VWP as delineated in section 217(e) of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1187(e)). 
Once participation is granted, CBP Form I-775 serves to hold carriers 
liable for the transportation costs, to ensure the completion of 
required forms, and to share passenger data. Regulations are 
promulgated at 8 CFR part 217.6, Carrier Agreements. A copy of CBP Form 
I-775 is accessible at: http://forms.cbp.gov/pdf/CBP_Form_I775.pdf.
    Current Actions: This submission is being made to extend the 
expiration date with no change to information collected or to CBP Form 
I-775.
    Type of Review: Extension (without change).
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 400.
    Estimated Number of Total Annual Responses: 400.
    Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 200.
