allows participants entering the United States along the northern 
border by small pleasure boats weighing less than 5 tons to 
telephonically report their arrival without having to appear in person 
for an inspection by a CBP officer. United States citizens, Lawful

entry. This information collection is provided for by 8 CFR 235.1(g) 
and Section 235 of Immigration and Nationality Act. CBP Form I-68 is 
accessible at http://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title=68&=Apply.
