Overview of This Information Collection Title: Visitor Request Processing Systems. OMB Number: 1651–0NEW. Form Number: N/A. Current Actions: New collection of information. Type of Review: New collection of information. Affected Public: Individuals. Abstract: The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is required to protect property owned, occupied, or secured by the Federal Government. See 40 U.S.C. 1315 and 41 CFR 102–81.25, which require Federal agencies to be responsible for maintaining security at their own or leased facilities. Part of adhering to this responsibility is vetting and accounting for visitors to government facilities. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is establishing visitor request processing systems to facilitate the vetting and approval workflows for visitor requests to enter various CBP-controlled locations. This generic clearance would allow CBP to collect visitor data from and on VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:55 Jul 06, 2023 Jkt 259001 behalf of individuals requesting access to CBP-controlled facilities. Visitor request processing systems are intended to collect information and maintain records on both domestic and foreign national visitors to CBP facilities to protect agency facilities and personnel, as well as facilitating visitor vetting and documenting vetting results and approvals, according to DHS requirements. Individuals subject to proposed collection are primarily: • Members of the public, in many instances, with specific business at the facility (i.e., deliveries, repair/ maintenance, drivers transporting other visitors, etc.) • Contractor personnel • Non-DHS/CBP federal, state, local and tribal government employees, or officials • Foreign nationals, individually or as part of international delegations, requesting access to conduct a range of official business with DHS/CBP counterparts • DHS/CBP personnel not assigned to the facility Those individuals approved for access, are further evaluated for the type of access granted, escorted, unescorted, or staff-like access to CBP-controlled facilities. Information collected by CBP and entered into visitor request processing systems can include some data necessary for the adjudication of eligibility for facility access; however, only vetting/adjudication results may be contained in the visitor request processing system. Type of Information Collection: Visitor Request Processing Systems. Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,000,000. Estimated Number of Annual Responses per Respondent: 1. Estimated Number of Total Annual Responses: 1,000,000. Estimated Time per Response: 10 minutes. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 166,667. Dated: July 3, 2023. Seth D. Renkema, Branch Chief, Economic Impact Analysis Branch, U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
