(2) If not cleared by telephone, an air cargo manifest containing the following statement, signed by the aircraft commander or agent, must be submitted to CBP: (b) Timeliness. The request for telephone clearance must be received by the CBP officer in charge with sufficient time remaining before departure to ensure that CBP may undertake any necessary examination of the aircraft and cargo.

I declare to the best of my knowledge and belief that there is no cargo on board this aircraft. Signature (Aircraft Commander or Agent)
