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

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 agencies should
address one or more of 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
summarized and included in the request
for approval. All comments will become
a matter of public record.
Overview of This Information
Collection
Title: Electronic Visa Update System
(EVUS).
OMB Number: 1651–0139.
Form Number: N/A.
Current Actions: Revision of an
existing information collection with no
change in burden.
Type of Review: Revision.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Abstract: DHS developed the
Electronic Visa Update System (EVUS)
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:04 Feb 22, 2022
Jkt 256001
to assure robust screening of foreign
nationals prior to travel to the United
States. EVUS provides for robust
traveler screening and verification to
better identify foreign nationals who
may be inadmissible to the United
States. This results in enhanced national
security, improved public safety, and a
reduced number of delays upon arrival
in the United States, all while
facilitating legitimate travel.
Initially, the program is limited to
nonimmigrant aliens presenting
passports issued by the People’s
Republic of China (PRC) containing
unrestricted, maximum validity B–1
(business visitor), B–2 (visitor for
pleasure), or combination B–1/B–2
visas, generally valid for 10 years. PRC
membership in EVUS became possible
on November 12, 2014, when, in a
reciprocal agreement, the U.S.
Department of State expanded the
validity of U.S. visitor visas issued to
PRC nationals from one to ten years.
To ensure compliance with the Visa
Waiver Program Improvement and
Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015,
Pub. L. 114–113, 129 Stat. 2242, CBP
will continuously update the
application question with the list of
nationals ineligible to travel to the
United States under the VWP, as
designated in accordance with section
217(a)(12) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C.
1187(a)(12)).
Recent Changes: On May 31, 2019, the
Department of State updated its
immigrant and nonimmigrant visa
application forms to request additional
information, specifically social media
identifiers, from most U.S. visa
applicants worldwide. As a result, DHS
is changing the EVUS application social
media data field from optional to
mandatory. National security is the top
priority when adjudicating EVUS
applications, and every prospective
traveler to the United States undergoes
extensive security screening. CBP is
continually working to find mechanisms
to improve our screening processes to
protect U.S. visitors while supporting
legitimate travel to the United States.
DHS already requests information on
contacts, travel history, and family
members from all EVUS applicants.
Changing the social medial field to
mandatory in the EVUS application will
enhance our vetting capabilities and
assist in confirming applicants’
identities. While the field is mandatory,
applicants will still have the ability to
select ‘‘none’’.

OMB Number: 1651–0029.
Form Number: 214, 214A, 214B,

Abstract: Foreign trade zones (FTZs)
are geographical enclaves located within
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:04 Feb 22, 2022
Jkt 256001
the geographical limits of the United
States but for tariff purposes are
considered to be outside the United
States. Imported merchandise may be
brought into FTZs for storage,
manipulation, manufacture, or other
processing and subsequent removal for
exportation, consumption in the United
States, or destruction. A company
bringing goods into an FTZ has a choice
of zone status (privileged/nonprivileged foreign, domestic, or zonerestricted), which affects the way such
goods are treated by Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) and treated for
tariff purposes upon entry into the
customs territory of the United States.
CBP Forms 214, 214A, 214B, and
214C, which make up the Application
for Foreign-Trade Zone Admission and/
or Status Designation, are used by
companies that bring merchandise,
except in certain circumstances
including, but not limited to, domestic
status merchandise, into an FTZ to
register the admission of such
merchandise into FTZs and to apply for
the appropriate zone status. Form 214A
is not filled out separately by
respondents; it is simply a copy of Form
214 that CBP gives to the Census
Bureau. Form 214B is a continuation
sheet for Form 214 that respondents use
when they need more room to add line
items to the form. Form 214C is a
continuation sheet for Form 214A that
respondents use when they need more
room to add line items to the form.
CBP Form 216, Foreign-Trade Zone
Activity Permit, is used by companies to
request approval to manipulate,
manufacture, exhibit, or destroy
merchandise in an FTZ.
These FTZ forms are authorized by 19
U.S.C. 81 and provided for by 19 CFR
146.22, 146.32, 146.35, 146.36, 146.37,
146.39, 146.40, 146.41, 146.44, 146.52,
146.53, and 146.66. These forms are
