SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CBP
invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to comment on the
proposed and/or continuing information
collections pursuant to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501

allowing for a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments. This process
is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR
1320.8. Written comments and
suggestions from the public and affected

the following four points: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
suggestions to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) suggestions to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses. The
comments that are submitted will be

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
Traveler Programs including the Secure
Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid
Inspection (SENTRI), which allows
expedited entry at specified southwest
land border ports of entry; the Free and
Secure Trade program (FAST), which
provides expedited border processing
for known, low-risk commercial drivers;
and Global Entry which allows preapproved, low-risk, air travelers
expedited clearance upon arrival into
the United States.
The purpose of all of these programs
is to provide prescreened travelers
expedited entry into the United States.
The benefit to the traveler is less time
spent in line waiting to be processed.
These Trusted Traveler programs are
provided for in 8 CFR 235.7 and 235.12.
This information collection also
includes the U.S. APEC Business Travel
Card (ABTC) Program, which is a
voluntary program that allows U.S.
citizens to use fast-track immigration
lanes at airports in the 20 other AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)
member countries. This program is
mandated by the Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation Business Travel Cards Act
of 2011, Public Law 112–54 and
provided for by 8 CFR 235.13.
These collections of information
include the data collected on the
applications and kiosks for these
programs. Applicants may apply to
participate in these programs by using
the Trusted Traveler Program (TTP) at
https://ttp.cbp.dhs.gov/. Or at Trusted
Traveler Enrollment Centers.
After arriving at the Federal
Inspection Services area of the airport,
participants in Global Entry can
undergo a self-serve inspection process
using a Global Entry kiosk. During the
self-service inspection, participants
have their photograph and fingerprints
taken, submit identifying information,
and answer several questions about
items they are bringing into the United
States. When using the Global Entry
kiosks, participants are required to
declare all articles being brought into
the United States pursuant to 19 CFR
148.11.
