SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
CBP is currently conducting a pilot
program called Global Entry, which
began on June 6, 2008. This pilot was
announced in a notice published in the
Federal Register (73 FR 19861) on April
11, 2008.
The Global Entry pilot program allows
for the expedited clearance of preapproved, low-risk travelers into the
United States. The initial Federal
Register notice published on April 11,
2008 contained a detailed description of
the program, the eligibility criteria and
the application and selection process,
and the initial airport locations: John F.
Kennedy International Airport, Jamaica,
New York, Terminal 4 (JFK); the George
Bush Intercontinental Airport, Houston,
Texas (IAH); and the Washington Dulles
International Airport, Sterling, Virginia
(IAD). CBP chose these initial airports
due to the large numbers of travelers
that arrive at those locations from
outside the United States.
On August 13, 2008, in a notice
published in the Federal Register (73
FR 47204), CBP announced that the
pilot was being expanded to include all
terminals at JFK and four additional
airports: Los Angeles International
Airport, Los Angeles, California (LAX);
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International
Airport, Atlanta, Georgia (ATL); Chicago
O’Hare International Airport, Chicago,
Illinois (ORD); and Miami International
Airport, Miami, Florida (MIA).
Initially, only U.S. citizens, U.S.
nationals, and U.S. Lawful Permanent
Residents (LPRs) were eligible to
participate in the Global Entry pilot.
However, as explained in the April 11,
2008 Federal Register notice, CBP has
been working with other countries to
recognize comparable programs
operated by these countries and, as
these arrangements are finalized, CBP
will expand its eligibility criteria. The
April 11 notice stated that such
expansions of the pilot would be
announced by publication in the
Federal Register. On April 23, 2009,
CBP published a notice in the Federal
Register (74 FR 18586) that expanded
eligibility for participation in the Global
Entry pilot to include citizens of the
Netherlands who participate in Privium,
an expedited travel program in the
Netherlands, provided they otherwise
satisfy the requirements for
participation in the Global Entry pilot
program. Pursuant to the reciprocal
arrangement with the Government of the
Netherlands, these applicants are
eligible for participation in the Global
Entry pilot upon successful completion
of a thorough risk assessment by both
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:09 Aug 07, 2009
Jkt 217001
CBP and the Government of the
Netherlands. Pursuant to the reciprocal
arrangement, U.S. citizens who
participate in the Global Entry pilot will
have the option to apply for
participation in Privium. For a more
detailed discussion about the expansion
of applicant eligibility to include
citizens of the Netherlands, please refer
to the April 23, 2009 Federal Register
notice.
Operations
The Global Entry pilot project offers
pilot participants expedited entry into
the United States at any of the
designated airport locations by using
automated kiosks located in the Federal
Inspection Services (FIS) area of each
airport. Global Entry uses fingerprint
biometrics technology to verify a
participant’s identity and confirm his or
her status as a participant.
After arriving at the FIS area,
participants proceed directly to the
Global Entry kiosk. A sticker affixed to
the participant’s passport at the time of
acceptance in Global Entry will provide
visual identification that the individual
can be referred to the kiosk. Global
Entry participants need not wait in the
regular passport control primary
inspection lines.
After arriving at the kiosk,
participants activate the system by
inserting into the document reader
either a machine-readable passport or a
machine-readable U.S. permanent
resident card. On-screen instructions
guide participants to provide
fingerprints electronically. These
fingerprints are compared with the
fingerprint biometrics on file to validate
identity and confirm that the individual
is a member of the program. Participants
are also prompted to look at the camera
for a digital photograph.
When the procedures at the kiosk
have been successfully completed,
which also involves responding to
several customs declaration questions
by use of a touch-screen, participants
are issued a transaction receipt. This
receipt must be provided along with the
passport or LPR card to the CBP Officer
at the exit control area who will
examine and inspect these documents.
CBP Officers stationed in booths next to
the kiosk lanes also oversee activities at
the kiosk.
Declarations
When using the Global Entry kiosks,
Global Entry participants are required to
use the kiosk to declare all articles being
brought into the U.S. pursuant to 19
CFR 148.11.
If a Global Entry participant declares
any of the following, the kiosk redirects
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4703

that user to the head of the line at the
nearest, open passport control, primary
inspection station:
(a) Commercial merchandise or
commercial samples, or items that
exceed the applicable personal
exemption amount;
(b) More than $10,000 in currency or
other monetary instruments (checks,
money orders, etc.), or foreign
equivalent in any form; or
(c) Restricted/prohibited goods, such
as agricultural products, firearms, mace,
pepper spray, endangered animals,
birds, narcotics, fireworks, Cuban goods,
and plants.
Global Entry participants may also be
subject to further examination and
inspection as determined by CBP
Officers at any time during the arrival
process.
For a more detailed description of the
Global Entry pilot program, please refer
to the April 11, 2008 Federal Register
notice, 73 FR 19861.
Expansion to Additional Airports
This notice announces that the pilot
will be expanded to include thirteen
additional airports. As with the choice
of initial airports, CBP is expanding the
Global Entry pilot to include those
airports that service the largest numbers
of travelers arriving from outside the
United States.
New Airports and Dates of Operation
CBP will expand the Global Entry
pilot to the following airports: Newark
Liberty International Airport, Newark,
New Jersey (EWR); San Francisco
International Airport, San Francisco,
California (SFO); Orlando International
Airport, Orlando, Florida (ORD); Detroit
Metropolitan Wayne County Airport,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
CBP is currently conducting a pilot program called Global Entry,
which began on June 6, 2008. This pilot was announced in a notice
published in the Federal Register (73 FR 19861) on April 11, 2008.
The Global Entry pilot program allows for the expedited clearance
of pre-approved, low-risk travelers into the United States. The initial
Federal Register notice published on April 11, 2008 contained a
detailed description of the program, the eligibility criteria and the
application and selection process, and the initial airport locations:
John F. Kennedy International Airport, Jamaica, New York, Terminal 4
(JFK); the George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Houston, Texas (IAH);
and the Washington Dulles International Airport, Sterling, Virginia
(IAD). CBP chose these initial airports due to the large numbers of
travelers that arrive at those locations from outside the United
States.
On August 13, 2008, in a notice published in the Federal Register
(73 FR 47204), CBP announced that the pilot was being expanded to
include all terminals at JFK and four additional airports: Los Angeles
International Airport, Los Angeles, California (LAX); Hartsfield-
Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Atlanta, Georgia (ATL); Chicago
O'Hare International Airport, Chicago, Illinois (ORD); and Miami
International Airport, Miami, Florida (MIA).
Initially, only U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and U.S. Lawful
Permanent Residents (LPRs) were eligible to participate in the Global
Entry pilot. However, as explained in the April 11, 2008 Federal
Register notice, CBP has been working with other countries to recognize
comparable programs operated by these countries and, as these
arrangements are finalized, CBP will expand its eligibility criteria.
The April 11 notice stated that such expansions of the pilot would be
announced by publication in the Federal Register. On April 23, 2009,
CBP published a notice in the Federal Register (74 FR 18586) that
expanded eligibility for participation in the Global Entry pilot to
include citizens of the Netherlands who participate in Privium, an
expedited travel program in the Netherlands, provided they otherwise
satisfy the requirements for participation in the Global Entry pilot
program. Pursuant to the reciprocal arrangement with the Government of
the Netherlands, these applicants are eligible for participation in the
Global Entry pilot upon successful completion of a thorough risk
assessment by both CBP and the Government of the Netherlands. Pursuant
to the reciprocal arrangement, U.S. citizens who participate in the
Global Entry pilot will have the option to apply for participation in
Privium. For a more detailed discussion about the expansion of
applicant eligibility to include citizens of the Netherlands, please
refer to the April 23, 2009 Federal Register notice.
Operations
The Global Entry pilot project offers pilot participants expedited
entry into the United States at any of the designated airport locations
by using automated kiosks located in the Federal Inspection Services
(FIS) area of each airport. Global Entry uses fingerprint biometrics
technology to verify a participant's identity and confirm his or her
status as a participant.
After arriving at the FIS area, participants proceed directly to
the Global Entry kiosk. A sticker affixed to the participant's passport
at the time of acceptance in Global Entry will provide visual
identification that the individual can be referred to the kiosk. Global
Entry participants need not wait in the regular passport control
primary inspection lines.
After arriving at the kiosk, participants activate the system by
inserting into the document reader either a machine-readable passport
or a machine-readable U.S. permanent resident card. On-screen
instructions guide participants to provide fingerprints electronically.
These fingerprints are compared with the fingerprint biometrics on file
to validate identity and confirm that the individual is a member of the
program. Participants are also prompted to look at the camera for a
digital photograph.
When the procedures at the kiosk have been successfully completed,
which also involves responding to several customs declaration questions
by use of a touch-screen, participants are issued a transaction
receipt. This receipt must be provided along with the passport or LPR
card to the CBP Officer at the exit control area who will examine and
inspect these documents. CBP Officers stationed in booths next to the
kiosk lanes also oversee activities at the kiosk.
Declarations
When using the Global Entry kiosks, Global Entry participants are
required to use the kiosk to declare all articles being brought into
the U.S. pursuant to 19 CFR 148.11.
If a Global Entry participant declares any of the following, the
