SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background and Purpose United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program (‘‘US–VISIT’’); Enrollment of Additional Aliens in US–VISIT Office of the Secretary, DHS. Proposed rule with request for comments. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security established the United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Technology (US–VISIT) program in 2003 to verify the identities and travel documents of aliens. US–VISIT automates this verification by comparing biometric identifiers, and by comparing biometric identifiers with information drawn from intelligence and law enforcement watchlists and databases. Aliens subject to US–VISIT may be required to provide fingerscans, photographs, or other biometric identifiers upon arrival at, or departure from, the United States. Currently, aliens entering the United States pursuant to a nonimmigrant visa, or those traveling without a visa as part of the Visa Waiver Program, are subject to US–VISIT requirements, with certain limited exceptions. Under this proposed rule, the Department of Homeland Security will be extending US–VISIT requirements to all aliens with the exception of aliens who are specifically exempted and Canadian citizens applying for admission as B1/B2 visitors for business or pleasure. DATE: Written comments must be submitted on or before August 28, 2006. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by Docket Number DHS– 2005–0037 by one of the following methods: • Federal Rulemaking Portal: https:// www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting the comments. All submissions received must include the agency name and docket number for this rulemaking. All comments received will be posted PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) established the United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program (US– VISIT) in accordance with several statutory mandates that collectively require DHS to create an integrated, automated biometric entry and exit system that records the arrival and departure of aliens; verifies the identities of aliens; and authenticates travel documents presented by such aliens through the comparison of biometric identifiers. Aliens subject to US–VISIT may be required to provide fingerscans, photographs, or other biometric identifiers upon arrival at, or departure from, the United States. DHS views US–VISIT as a biometricallydriven program designed to enhance the security of United States citizens and visitors while expediting legitimate travel and trade, ensuring the integrity of the immigration system, and protecting visitors’ personal information. The statutes that authorize DHS to establish US–VISIT include, but are not limited to: • Section 2(a) of the Immigration and Naturalization Service Data Management Improvement Act of 2000, Public Law 106–215, 114 Stat. 337 (June 15, 2000); • Section 205 of the Visa Waiver Permanent Program Act of 2000, Public Law 106–396, 114 Stat. 1637, 1641 (October 30, 2000); • Section 414 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT Act), Public Law 107– 56, 115 Stat. 271, 353 (October 26, 2001); • Section 302 of the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002 (Border Security Act) Public Law 107–173, 116 Stat. 543, 552 (May 14, 2002); and E:\FR\FM\27JYP1.SGM 27JYP1
