Overview of This Information
Collection
Title: Passenger and Crew Manifest
(Advance Passenger Information
System).
OMB Number: 1651–0088.
Form Number: None.
Abstract: The Advance Passenger
Information System (APIS) is an
automated method in which U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
receives information on passengers and
crew onboard inbound and outbound
international flights and commercial
vessels before their arrival in, or
departure from, the United States. APIS
data includes biographical information
for travelers arriving in or departing
from the United States, allowing the
data to be checked against CBP
databases to target for high-risk travelers
and facilitate legitimate travel for the
general public.
The information is submitted for both
commercial and private aircraft flights,
commercial vessels, and voluntarily for
some rail carriers and bus carriers.
Specific data elements required for each
passenger and crew member include:
Full name; date of birth; gender;
citizenship; travel document type;
passport number; country of issuance
and expiration date; and alien
registration number where applicable.
The statutory authority for APIS
E:\FR\FM\27AUN1.SGM

53016
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 167 / Thursday, August 27, 2020 / Notices
includes the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act, Public Law
107–71, 115 Stat. 597 (49 U.S.C. 44909).
The APIS regulatory requirements for
air carriers are specified in 19 CFR
122.49a, 122.49b, 122.49c, 122.75a,
122.75b, and 122.22. These provisions
list the required APIS data.
Respondents submit their electronic
manifest either through a direct
interface with CBP, or using eAPIS
which is a web-based system that can be
accessed at https://eapis.cbp.dhs.gov/.
Current Actions: This submission is
being made to revise this collection of
information to include bus and rail
carriers into this OMB control number.

Proposed Changes
CBP is currently running a pilot with
nine respondents in which bus carriers
are submitting passenger manifest data
voluntarily to assist CBP in the
development of the Land Pre-Arrival
System (LPAS) application. The LPAS
application will improve the current
method of transmission by allowing
carriers to scan the Machine-Readable
Zone (MRZ) of travelers’ documents
which will result in time-savings for the
carriers and increased accuracy for CBP.
CBP would like to revise this
information collection to include bus
and rail respondents which would allow
CBP to expand the bus pilot beyond the
current nine respondents, as well as
make the LPAS application available to
pilot for rail carriers in the future.
For this pilot, bus carriers submit
their APIS information to CBP via Land
Pre-Arrival System Application (LPAS),
embedded in the CBP ROAM
application which is available free of
charge for Android and Apple mobile
devices.
In the LPAS application, the
collection of traveler information is
primarily done through electronic
submission. The bus carrier designee
submits traveler information by
scanning the MRZ of each traveler’s
document which is automatically
loaded into the application. Should the
MRZ not automatically transfer into the
application, the bus carrier will
manually input the traveler’s document
information. This is the only point at
which information is collected from
travelers for CBP.
The user registers bus as the mode of
travel and is prompted to complete
information on the company.
Information includes:
• Mode of Travel (Bus)
• License Country
• Registration Province
• License Number
• Sender ID
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:09 Aug 26, 2020
Jkt 250001
• Carrier Code (APIS code assigned by
CBP)
• Bus Company
Each carrier will be required to create
a ‘Driver Profile’ by entering in their
documentation using the MRZ or
manually. This profile is saved to be
associated with each bus that the driver
operates and will have to be selected
prior to submitting the trip. The driver
is prompted to enter his or her
information, including:
• Name
• Date of Birth
• Sex
• Country of Citizenship
• Country of Residence
• Document Type
• Document Number
• Date of Issue
• Date of Expiration
• Country of Issue
This process is duplicated for all
additional travelers boarding the bus.
Each traveler profile is saved for the
trip, but is deleted from the application
immediately after the information is
submitted to CBP.
Prior to submitting traveler
information to CBP, the user must fill in
required information about the trip.
These fields include items such as:
• Arrival Location in the US
• Estimated Arrival Date
• Estimated Arrival Time
• Arrival Code (Port of Entry)
• Entry State
• Last Country Visited
• Contact Email
Previously, the ROAM application
also permitted self-reported submission
of information to CBP officers through a
face-time feature. This self-reporting
feature has been disabled for LPAS and
will not be used at any time in
conjunction with the Bus APIS pilot or
the resulting program that arises from
the pilot. The bus carrier, either through
the bus driver, another employee, or a
designated representative or service
provider, will be the only party
submitting data to CBP via the LPAS
feature within the ROAM application.
The basis for this decision arose out of
the necessity to collect traveler
information prior to arrival in the land
environment as it is done in the air
environment. For pre-arrival or predeparture vetting and targeting to be
conducted, officers must be able to
collect information on travelers prior to
their arrival at the border to promote
officer safety and increase security. In
air Ports of Entry, officers have access to
traveler information 72 hours prior to
arrival. However, this standard does not
exist in the land environment, as
travelers can board a bus within
PO 00000
Frm 00075
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
minutes of arriving at the border. In the
air environment, airline carriers or their
designated representatives or service
providers are the users submitting
traveler information. Therefore, in order
to closely mirror this successful process,
bus carriers will submit traveler data in
the land environment. In order to
reduce the burden of manual data entry,
the LPAS feature includes a technology
that reads the MRZ on a passport. As a
result, the bus driver can simply scan a
passenger’s passport in order to
populate the required data fields and
accurately submit that data to CBP. CBP
is considering the development of LPAS
for rail carriers in the future.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 9
of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and
its implementing regulations prohibit
the ‘‘take’’ of animal species listed as
endangered or threatened. Take is
defined under the ESA as to ‘‘harass,
harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill,
trap, capture, or collect listed animal
species, or to attempt to engage in such
conduct’’ (16 U.S.C. 1538). However,
under section 10(a) of the ESA, we may
issue permits to authorize incidental
take/the enhancement of survival of
listed/candidate species. ‘‘Incidental
take’’ is defined by the ESA as take that
is incidental to, and not the purpose of,
carrying out an otherwise lawful
activity. Regulations governing such
take of endangered and threatened/
candidate species, respectively, are
found in the Code of Federal
Regulations at 50 CFR 17.22 and 50 CFR
17.32.
Background
Circuit Engineering District #4 has
applied to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) for an ITP under
section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA;
16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The requested
ITP, which would be in effect for a
period of 3 years, if granted, would
authorize incidental take of the
PO 00000
Frm 00076
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
53017
American burying beetle. The proposed
incidental take would result from
activities associated with otherwise
lawful activities, including building a
new bridge and off-set road alignment of
the road across Leader Creek.
We have determined the proposed
action qualifies as a low-effect habitat
conservation plan (HCP) and is
categorically excluded from the NEPA
process. The proposed incidental take
would occur along 1.88 acres (ac) where
County Road NS–374 crosses Leader
Creek near the town of Atwood in
Hughes County, Oklahoma, as a result of
activities associated with the applicant’s
construction activities. Such actions
may require disturbance within
potential American burying beetle
habitat. Circuit Engineering District #4
has proposed to mitigate the impacts to
0.75 ac of suitable American burying
beetle habitat, including 0.5 ac of
permanent cover change impacts and
0.25 ac of permanent change. These
habitat acres will be mitigated in
perpetuity according to Service
approved mitigation ratios through
purchasing credits at an approved
conservation bank. Avoidance and
minimization measures to reduce
impacts to the American burying beetle
include reducing motor vehicle,
machinery, and heavy equipment use
areas, reducing soil erosion, increasing
soil stability, providing education to onsite personnel, limiting the use of
artificial lighting, and preventing
invasive species establishment.
Next Steps
We will evaluate the HCP and
comments we receive to determine
whether the ITP application meets the
requirements of section 10(a) of the ESA
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). We will also
evaluate whether issuance of a section
10(a)(1)(B) permit would comply with
section 7 of the ESA by conducting an
intra-Service section 7 consultation. We
will use the results of this consultation,
in combination with the above findings,
in our final analysis to determine
whether to issue an ITP. If all necessary
requirements are met, we will issue the
ITP to the applicant.

Overview of This Information Collection
Title: Passenger and Crew Manifest (Advance Passenger Information
System).
OMB Number: 1651-0088.
Form Number: None.
Abstract: The Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) is an
automated method in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
receives information on passengers and crew onboard inbound and
outbound international flights and commercial vessels before their
arrival in, or departure from, the United States. APIS data includes
biographical information for travelers arriving in or departing from
the United States, allowing the data to be checked against CBP
databases to target for high-risk travelers and facilitate legitimate
travel for the general public.
The information is submitted for both commercial and private
aircraft flights, commercial vessels, and voluntarily for some rail
carriers and bus carriers. Specific data elements required for each
passenger and crew member include: Full name; date of birth; gender;
citizenship; travel document type; passport number; country of issuance
and expiration date; and alien registration number where applicable.
The statutory authority for APIS
[[Page 53016]]
includes the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, Public Law 107-
71, 115 Stat. 597 (49 U.S.C. 44909). The APIS regulatory requirements
for air carriers are specified in 19 CFR 122.49a, 122.49b, 122.49c,
122.75a, 122.75b, and 122.22. These provisions list the required APIS
data.
Respondents submit their electronic manifest either through a
direct interface with CBP, or using eAPIS which is a web-based system
that can be accessed at https://eapis.cbp.dhs.gov/.
Current Actions: This submission is being made to revise this
collection of information to include bus and rail carriers into this
OMB control number.
Proposed Changes
CBP is currently running a pilot with nine respondents in which bus
carriers are submitting passenger manifest data voluntarily to assist
CBP in the development of the Land Pre-Arrival System (LPAS)
application. The LPAS application will improve the current method of
transmission by allowing carriers to scan the Machine-Readable Zone
(MRZ) of travelers' documents which will result in time-savings for the
carriers and increased accuracy for CBP. CBP would like to revise this
information collection to include bus and rail respondents which would
allow CBP to expand the bus pilot beyond the current nine respondents,
as well as make the LPAS application available to pilot for rail
carriers in the future.
For this pilot, bus carriers submit their APIS information to CBP
via Land Pre-Arrival System Application (LPAS), embedded in the CBP
ROAM application which is available free of charge for Android and
Apple mobile devices.
In the LPAS application, the collection of traveler information is
primarily done through electronic submission. The bus carrier designee
submits traveler information by scanning the MRZ of each traveler's
document which is automatically loaded into the application. Should the
MRZ not automatically transfer into the application, the bus carrier
will manually input the traveler's document information. This is the
only point at which information is collected from travelers for CBP.
The user registers bus as the mode of travel and is prompted to
complete information on the company. Information includes:
Mode of Travel (Bus)
License Country
Registration Province
License Number
Sender ID
Carrier Code (APIS code assigned by CBP)
Bus Company
Each carrier will be required to create a `Driver Profile' by
entering in their documentation using the MRZ or manually. This profile
is saved to be associated with each bus that the driver operates and
will have to be selected prior to submitting the trip. The driver is
prompted to enter his or her information, including:
Name
Date of Birth
Sex
Country of Citizenship
Country of Residence
Document Type
Document Number
Date of Issue
Date of Expiration
Country of Issue
This process is duplicated for all additional travelers boarding
the bus. Each traveler profile is saved for the trip, but is deleted
from the application immediately after the information is submitted to
CBP.
Prior to submitting traveler information to CBP, the user must fill
in required information about the trip. These fields include items such
as:
Arrival Location in the US
Estimated Arrival Date
Estimated Arrival Time
Arrival Code (Port of Entry)
Entry State
Last Country Visited
Contact Email
Previously, the ROAM application also permitted self-reported
submission of information to CBP officers through a face-time feature.
This self-reporting feature has been disabled for LPAS and will not be
used at any time in conjunction with the Bus APIS pilot or the
resulting program that arises from the pilot. The bus carrier, either
through the bus driver, another employee, or a designated
representative or service provider, will be the only party submitting
data to CBP via the LPAS feature within the ROAM application. The basis
for this decision arose out of the necessity to collect traveler
information prior to arrival in the land environment as it is done in
the air environment. For pre-arrival or pre-departure vetting and
targeting to be conducted, officers must be able to collect information
on travelers prior to their arrival at the border to promote officer
safety and increase security. In air Ports of Entry, officers have
access to traveler information 72 hours prior to arrival. However, this
standard does not exist in the land environment, as travelers can board
a bus within minutes of arriving at the border. In the air environment,
airline carriers or their designated representatives or service
providers are the users submitting traveler information. Therefore, in
order to closely mirror this successful process, bus carriers will
submit traveler data in the land environment. In order to reduce the
burden of manual data entry, the LPAS feature includes a technology
that reads the MRZ on a passport. As a result, the bus driver can
simply scan a passenger's passport in order to populate the required
data fields and accurately submit that data to CBP. CBP is considering
the development of LPAS for rail carriers in the future.
