Overview of This Information Collection

    Title: Trusted Traveler Programs and U.S. APEC Business Travel 
Card.
    OMB Number: 1651-0121.
    Form Number: 823S (SENTRI) and 823F (FAST).
    Current Actions: Revision of an existing information collection.
    Type of Review: Revision.
    Affected Public: Individuals and Businesses.
    Abstract: This collection of information is for CBP's Trusted 
Traveler Programs including the Secure Electronic Network for Travelers 
Rapid Inspection (SENTRI), which allows dedicated processing at 
specified southwest land border ports of entry; the Free and Secure 
Trade program (FAST), which provides dedicated processing for known, 
low-risk commercial drivers; and Global Entry (GE) which allows pre-
approved, low-risk, air travelers dedicated processing clearance upon 
arrival into the United States.
    The purpose of all of these programs is to provide prescreened 
travelers dedicated processing 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 Asia-Pacific 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 
legacy kiosks (machines which are permanently installed in airports and 
print a paper receipt for verification of the traveler's arrival), 
websites, mobile phone applications, and portals (mobile processing 
units that CBP can position anywhere inside the Federal Inspection 
Area) for these programs. Applicants may apply to participate in these 
programs by using the Trusted Traveler Program Systems website (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 process 
to report their arrival and facilitate inspection process using a 
legacy kiosk, portal, or Global Entry (GE) Mobile application. During 
the self-service process at a legacy kiosk, 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 legacy kiosks, participants are required to 
declare all articles being brought into the United States pursuant to 
19 CFR 148.11.

Proposed Changes

    CBP will be updating the Trusted Travel Programs to align with the 
U.S. Department of State's Passport Options: CBP will modify the 
Trusted Traveler Program application by adding a third gender marker, 
``X'' for applicants identifying as non-binary, intersex, and/or gender 
non-conforming (in addition to the existing ``male and ``female'' 
gender markers). The ``X'' marker will be categorized as ``Unspecified 
or Another Gender Identity'', in the document sections of the 
electronic Trusted Traveler Programs application.
    In addition, coinciding with agency wide efforts to reduce burden 
on the public, CBP's new Global Entry (GE) portals and the new Global 
Entry (GE) Mobile application are replacing legacy kiosks, enabling 
quicker, touchless processing for participants. The portal or app will 
take the traveler's facial image and match it with the existing image 
from the application process. The questions previously asked by the 
legacy kiosk will now be a verbal attestation when exiting the area.
