This document announces that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will conduct a Declaration Zone test at air terminal facilities at participating air ports of entry (POEs) to fulfill a regulatory declaration requirement and allow for streamlined processing.

Known as "Declaration Zones," these queues will allow travelers entering the country through participating air POEs to make their initial declaration simply by choosing which queue to enter. This notice describes the test, and also sets forth requirements for participating in the test, the duration of the test, and how CBP will evaluate the test. This notice also invites public comment on any aspect of the test.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to amend and clarify the regulations concerning the 9-11 Response & Biometric Entry-Exit Fee for H-1B and L-1 Visas (9-11 Biometric Fee).
