This collection, called the "Declaration of Person Who Performed Repairs or Alterations," is needed when items that were temporarily exported for repairs come back to the U.S. Customs uses this information to figure out how much those repairs are worth and what duty should be paid. Public comments are being sought up until March 15, 2021, and the goal is to improve the collection process and reduce the burden on those who have to fill it out.
