The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is seeking public comments on the renewal of a form used to guarantee payment for medical expenses of alien crewmen with certain diseases. This request aligns with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and aims to assess whether continuing this information collection is necessary and how the process can be improved. The discussed form, CBP Form I-510, ensures that carriers bear the medical costs for such individuals before they can receive clearance at ports. Public input is encouraged by June 4, 2025, and will be considered in the request for approval.
