Abstract: The Small Vessel Reporting System (SVRS)is a pilot program that allows certain participants using small pleasure boats to report their arrival telephonically instead of having to appear in person for inspection by a CBP officer each time they enter the United States. In some cases, a participant may also be asked to report to CBP for an in person inspection upon arrival. Participants may be U.S. citizens, U.S. lawful permanent residents, Canadian citizens, and permanent residents of Canada who are nationals of Visa Waiver Program countries listed in 8 CFR 217.2(a). In addition, participants of one or more trusted traveler pilot or programs and current Canadian Border Boater Landing Permit (CBP Form I-68) holders may also participate in SVRS. In order to register for the SVRS pilot program, participants enter data via the SVRS website which collects information such as biographical information and vessel information. Participants will go through the in person CBP inspection process during SVRS registration, and in some cases, upon arrival in the United States. SVRS is authorized by 8 USC 1103, 8 USC 1225, 8 CFR 235.1, 19 USC 1433, 19 USC 1498, and 19 CFR 4.2.
