See 8 U.S.C. 1185 note. On April 3, 2008, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of State promulgated a joint final rule, effective on June 1, 2009, that implemented the plan known as the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) at U.S. land and sea ports of entry. See 73 FR 18384 (the WHTI land and sea final rule). It amended, among other sections of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 8 CFR 212.0, 212.1, and 235.1. The WHTI land and sea final rule specifies the documents that U.S. citizens and nonimmigrant aliens from Canada, Bermuda, and Mexico are required to present when entering the United States at land and sea ports of entry. Under the WHTI land and sea final rule, one type of citizenship and identity document that may be presented upon entry to the United States at land and sea ports of entry from contiguous territory or adjacent islands 1 is a Native American Tribal Card that has been designated as an acceptable document to denote identity This notice announces that the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection is designating an approved Native American Tribal Card 1 ‘‘Adjacent islands’’ is defined in 8 CFR 212.0 as ‘‘Bermuda and the islands located in the Caribbean Sea, except Cuba.’’ This definition applies to 8 CFR 212.1 and 235.1.

Specifically, 8 CFR 235.1(e), as amended by the WHTI land and sea final rule, states: Upon designation by the Secretary of Homeland Security of a United States qualifying Tribal entity document as an acceptable document to denote identity and citizenship for the purposes of entering the United States, Native Americans may be permitted to present Tribal cards upon entering or seeking admission to the United States according to the terms of the voluntary agreement entered between the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Tribe. The Secretary of Homeland Security will announce, by publication of a notice in the Federal Register, documents designated under this paragraph. A list of the documents designated under this paragraph will also be made available to the public. A ‘‘United States qualifying Tribal entity’’ is defined as a ‘‘Tribe, band, or other group of Native Americans formally recognized by the United States Government which agrees to meet WHTI document standards.’’ 2 Native American Tribal cards are also referenced in 8 CFR 235.1(b) which lists the documents U.S. citizens may use to establish identity and citizenship when entering the United States. See 8 CFR 235.1(b)(7). The Secretary has delegated to the Commissioner of CBP the authority to designate certain documents as acceptable border crossing documents for persons arriving in the United States by land or sea from within the Western Hemisphere, including certain United States Native American Tribal cards. See DHS Delegation Number 7105 (Revision 00), dated January 16, 2009. Tribal Card Program The WHTI land and sea final rule allowed U.S. Federally recognized Native American Tribes to work with CBP to enter into agreements to develop Tribal ID cards that can be designated as acceptable to establish identity and citizenship when entering the United States at land and sea ports of entry from contiguous territory or adjacent islands. CBP has been working with various U.S. Federally recognized Native American Tribes to facilitate the development of such cards.3 As part of the process, CBP will enter into one or more agreements with a U.S. Federally recognized Tribe that specify the requirements for developing and issuing WHTI-compliant Tribal cards, including 2 See 8 CFR 212.0. This definition applies to 8 CFR 212.1 and 235.1. 3 The Native American Tribal cards qualifying to be a WHTI-compliant document for border crossing purposes are commonly referred to as ‘‘Enhanced Tribal Cards’’ or ‘‘ETCs.’’ E:\FR\FM\09JNN1.SGM 09JNN1
