is required to retain all records relating to the above mentioned 
activities for five years after the merchandise is removed from the 
sub-zone. Further, the records shall be readily available for CBP 
review at the sub-zone.
    Instructions on compliance with these record keeping provisions are 
available in the Foreign Trade Zone Manual which is accessible at: 
http://www.cbp.gov/document/guides/foreign-trade-zones-manual.
    Action: CBP proposes to extend the expiration date of this 
information collection with no change to the burden hours or to the
