The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), under the Department of Homeland Security, announced a 60-day period for the public and other federal agencies to comment on an information collection requirement. This requirement involves the Guarantee of Payment form (CBP Form I-510), which certifies that carriers are responsible for covering medical expenses of alien crew members suspected of having certain diseases. The form is required by the Immigration and Nationality Act and no vessel or aircraft can be cleared without it. Comments should address the necessity, accuracy, and methods to improve the collection process.
Simple Explanation
The government wants feedback on a rule that makes sure people on boats or planes can get help if they get sick. They need a special paper signed before the boat or plane can leave, and they are asking if filling out this paper is easy and helpful.
