    Abstract: The Canadian Border Boat Landing Permit (CBP Form I-68) 
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

Residents of Canada who are nationals of the Visa Waiver Program 
countries listed in 8 CFR 217.2(a) are eligible to participate.

the United States from Canada by small pleasure boats to be inspected 
only once during the boating season, rather than each time they make an 
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.

expiration date with no change to the burden hours or to the 
information collected.
