What is the minimum connection time at PHL for International to Domestic?

I will be flying US 3 from FCO-PHL and then connecting to US 197 PHL-LAX on May 16th. My international flight arrives at 2:55 pm, and the connection leaves at 4:10. Am I cutting it close?

US Airways had a schedule change, so my 90 minute connection suddenly became 75 minutes.

(May 16th is a Tuesday afternoon, btw)

Thanks

The MCT in PHL for int'l to domestic is 75 minutes, so this is legal. that said, PHL being PHL, it is probably cutting it a little close. Remember, you have to claim baggage, clear customs, and then re-check your bags. Bags must be checked at least 45 minutes prior to departure at PHL.
