generally allows participants entering the United States along the 
northern border by small pleasure boats to telephonically report their

officer. United States citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents of the 
United States, Canadian citizens, and Landed Residents of Canada who 
are nationals of the Visa Waiver Program countries listed in 8 CFR 
217.2(a) are eligible to participate.

inspected in person only once during the boating season, rather than 
each time they make an entry. This information collection is pursuant 
to 8 CFR 235.1(g) and Section 235 of Immigration and Nationality Act.
