CBP requests to revise the ESTA
information collection as a result of Chile be adding to the Visa
Waiver Program. Form I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record) and Form I-94W
(Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver Arrival/Departure) are used to document a
traveler's admission into the United States. These forms include
date of arrival, visa classification and the date the authorized
stay expires. The forms are also used by business employers and
other organizations to confirm legal status in the United States.
The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) applies to
aliens traveling to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program
(VWP) and requires that VWP travelers provide information
electronically to CBP before embarking on travel to the United
States. CBP revised the I-94 information collection to reflect a
Final Rule that amends the DHS regulations by allowing certain
nonimmigrant Mexican nationals presenting a Border Crossing Card,
or other proper immigration documentation, to travel in New Mexico
up to 55 miles from the border without filing a CBP Form I-94. The
current regulations allow this only up to 25 miles from the border.
As a result of this Final Rule, this ICR reflects a reduction of
12,450 I-94's submitted.
This is associated with
a Final Rule.
