SUMMARY: This Notice identifies
additional ports-of-entry that will begin

Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator

December 31, 2005.

298–5200.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) has established the United States
Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator
Technology Program (US–VISIT), an
integrated system that contains
E:\FR\FM\14SEN1.SGM
14SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 177 / Wednesday, September 14, 2005 / Notices
biometric watch list information;
records the arrival and departure of
aliens; verifies aliens’ identities; and
authenticates aliens’ travel documents
through comparison of biometric
identifiers. On August 31, 2004, DHS
announced the second phase of US–
VISIT by requiring certain aliens to
provide fingerprints, photographs or
other biometric identifiers upon arrival
in the United States at land ports-ofentry (POE) identified by Notice in the
Federal Register. 69 FR 53318.
On November 9, 2004, DHS published
a Notice that identified the 50 most
trafficked land POEs where US–VISIT
would be implemented prior to
December 31, 2004. The Notice also
included the specific implementation
timetable for particular ports of entry.
69 FR 64964. The 50 most trafficked
ports of entry were added incrementally
beginning November 15, 2004, and
ending December 27, 2004. At land
border POEs, aliens subject to US–VISIT
are enrolled at the secondary inspection
area.
While the November 9, 2004, Notice
identified only the 50 most trafficked
land border POEs for US–VISIT
implementation, the August 31 interim
final rule established the process to
implement applying the US–VISIT
program at any POE by requiring DHS
to publish a subsequent Notice in the
Federal Register. This Notice identifies
additional POEs that will begin
processing aliens in US–VISIT in 2005.
These additions will extend the
application of US–VISIT arrival
procedures to all POEs in which
permanent facilities are maintained.
In addition, as stated in the August
31, 2004, interim rule, this Notice
identifies only land POEs in which
aliens will be enrolled in US–VISIT
upon entry into the United States. DHS
will announce, through a separate
Notice in the Federal Register, the
biometric data collection program for
processing aliens upon departure from
the United States at a limited number of
sites.
The comment period for the August
31, 2004, interim final rule closed on
December 1, 2004. In responding to that
rule, several commenters noted the
difficulties at land border POEs when
major changes are implemented at peak
travel periods like the December holiday
period. DHS agrees that changes in
procedures during peak travel periods
can unnecessary impede legitimate
travel, and accordingly, DHS is making
every effort to implement the majority of
these additional POEs before the 2005
holiday season.
This Notice makes no changes to
existing US–VISIT requirements,

processes or classifications of aliens
subject to US–VISIT. This Notice merely
identifies additional ports-of-entry that
will begin US–VISIT implementation.

will begin biometric data collection as

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
has established the United States Visitor and Immigrant Status
Indicator Technology Program (US-VISIT), an integrated system that
contains
[[Page 54399]]
biometric watch list information; records the arrival and departure of
aliens; verifies aliens' identities; and authenticates aliens' travel
documents through comparison of biometric identifiers. On August 31,
2004, DHS announced the second phase of US-VISIT by requiring certain
aliens to provide fingerprints, photographs or other biometric
identifiers upon arrival in the United States at land ports-of-entry
(POE) identified by Notice in the Federal Register. 69 FR 53318.
On November 9, 2004, DHS published a Notice that identified the 50
most trafficked land POEs where US-VISIT would be implemented prior to

trafficked ports of entry were added incrementally beginning November

While the November 9, 2004, Notice identified only the 50 most

in which permanent facilities are maintained.
In addition, as stated in the August 31, 2004, interim rule, this

a separate Notice in the Federal Register, the biometric data
collection program for processing aliens upon departure from the United
States at a limited number of sites.
The comment period for the August 31, 2004, interim final rule
closed on December 1, 2004. In responding to that rule, several
commenters noted the difficulties at land border POEs when major
changes are implemented at peak travel periods like the December
holiday period. DHS agrees that changes in procedures during peak
travel periods can unnecessary impede legitimate travel, and
accordingly, DHS is making every effort to implement the majority of
these additional POEs before the 2005 holiday season.
This Notice makes no changes to existing US-VISIT requirements,
processes or classifications of aliens subject to US-VISIT. This Notice
merely identifies additional ports-of-entry that will begin US-VISIT
implementation.
The additional Land Border POEs that will begin biometric data
collection as part of US-VISIT processing no later than December 31,
2005 are:
