Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 3 / Monday, January 6, 2025 / Notices khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES Secretary of State, amended DHS regulations to establish an electronic travel authorization process for individuals traveling to Guam or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) under the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program (G–CNMI VWP). See § 212.1(q)(9) of title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations (8 CFR 212.1(q)(9)). The IFR also amended DHS regulations to establish the CNMI Economic Vitality & Security Travel Authorization Program (EVS–TAP) that also includes an electronic travel authorization process for certain nationals of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) traveling to the CNMI only. See 8 CFR 212.1(r). As detailed in the IFR, to fully integrate the two automated systems in an efficient and cost-effective manner, DHS would implement the CNMI EVS–TAP after the system for G– CNMI VWP automation became fully operational. 89 FR at 3303, 3310. The IFR explained that when DHS was ready to fully implement CNMI EVS–TAP, DHS would provide notification in the Federal Register, and the CNMI EVS– TAP would be implemented 45 days after publication as set forth in 8 CFR 212.1(r)(11). Id. Implementation of CNMI EVS–TAP Although the IFR was effective on September 30, 2024, DHS incorporated a 60-day transition period to facilitate travelers adjusting to the new collection method. See 8 CFR 212.1(q)(9)(i). This 60-day transition period ended on November 29, 2024, and the system for G–CNMI VWP automation is fully operational. Accordingly, carriers must now deny boarding to travelers without a visa or without an approved electronic travel authorization. See 8 CFR 212.1(q)(5)(iv). DHS is now ready to implement CNMI EVS–TAP. Pursuant to 8 CFR 212.1(r)(11), this document provides notification that CBP is implementing the requirements of CNMI EVS–TAP set forth in 8 CFR 212.1(r) for certain PRC nationals as of February 20, 2024. At that time, eligible nationals from the PRC seeking to travel to the CNMI only for a period not to exceed 14 days without a visa under the CNMI EVS– TAP will be required to obtain an electronic travel authorization from CBP prior to embarking on such travel. See 8 CFR 212.1(r). Concurrently, the current parole policy for PRC nationals seeking to enter the CNMI will be discontinued on February 20, 2024.
