which are harmful to sea turtles. Respondents are shrimp or shrimp 
product exporters and government officials in countries that export 
shrimp or shrimp product to the United States. The importer is required 
to present the DS-2031 form at the port of entry into the United 
States, to retain the DS-2031 form for a period of three years 
subsequent to entry, and during that time to make the DS-2031 form 
available to U.S. Customs and Border Protection or the Department of 
State upon request.
    Methodology: The DS-2031 form is completed by the exporter, the 
importer, and under certain conditions a government official of the 
harvesting country. The DS-2031 form accompanies shipments of shrimp 
and shrimp product to the United States and is to be made available to 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the time of entry and for three 
years after entry.
