United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program (“US-VISIT”); Enrollment of Additional Aliens in US-VISIT
The Department of Homeland Security established the United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Technology (US-VISIT) program in 2003 to verify the identities and travel documents of aliens. US-VISIT automates this verification by comparing biometric identifiers, and by comparing biometric identifiers with information drawn from intelligence and law enforcement watchlists and databases. Aliens subject to US-VISIT may be required to provide fingerscans, photographs, or other biometric identifiers upon arrival at, or departure from, the United States. Currently, aliens entering the United States pursuant to a nonimmigrant visa, or those traveling without a visa as part of the Visa Waiver Program, are subject to US- VISIT requirements, with certain limited exceptions. Under this proposed rule, the Department of Homeland Security will be extending US-VISIT requirements to all aliens with the exception of aliens who are specifically exempted and Canadian citizens applying for admission as B1/B2 visitors for business or pleasure.
Design Criteria Standard for Electronic Records Management Software Applications
The DoD Standard, ``Design Criteria Standard for Electronic Records Management Software Applications'' is being revised. This document sets forth the baseline functional requirements for records management application (RMA) software. A draft of the revised document is available for review and comment. Version 1 of DOD 5015.2-STD was issued November 24, 1997 and addressed basic requirements for RMA software. On June 19, 2002, Version 2 was issued, and was later endorsed by National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) as a standard for use by all federal agencies. Version 2 expanded on previous requirements and added requirements for tracking classified records. Version 3 of the standard completes e-Government initiative taskings to both DoD and NARA. It incorporates baseline requirements for RMA to RMA inteoperability and archival transfer to NARA. Furthermore, this version encourages the development of RMA software to adhere to DoD net-centric information sharing principles. The DoD Components will use this standard in the implementation of their records management programs. Additionally, this standard is widely used throughout the U.S. by numerous states and counties as well as many foreign governments. The new net-centric thrust of this standard should be influential well beyond the Department of Defense.
