Overview of This Information
Collection
Title: Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver
Information.
OMB Number: 1651–0109.
Form Number: I–736.
Current Action: Renewal.
Type of Review: Extension/Revision
(with change).
Affected Public: Individuals.
Abstract: Public Law 110–229
provides for certain aliens to be exempt
from the nonimmigrant visa
requirement if seeking entry into Guam
or the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands (CNMI) as a visitor for
a maximum stay of 45 days, provided
that no potential threat exists to the
welfare, safety, or security of the United
States, or its territories, and other
criteria are met. Upon arrival at the
Guam or CNMI Ports-of-Entry, each
applicant for admission presents a
completed Form I–736 to CBP, which
collects information about the

PO 00000

Frm 00051

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 9990

applicant’s identity and travel
documents.
Several elements have been added to
the Form I–736. Updates are necessary
to be able to automate Form I–736,
Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Information
that is use in compliance with the
Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program. The
new data elements are: the foreign
passport type, social media identifier,
valid email address, and social media
provider/platform. The automation will
facilitate CBP to gather information on
travelers from Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver
Program countries to determine their
admissibility to enter Guam or the
CNMI. In addition, CBP intends to
migrate from paper I–736 to a
mandatory automated environment;
therefore, the collection of a paper form
will no longer be acceptable. However,
after the regulation implementing
mandatory automation is published,
CBP will grant a transition period of
three months to facilitate travelers
adjusting to the new collection method.
At the end of the transition period, the
paper I–736 form will become obsolete
and travelers must input and submit in
advance their personal information and
respond to the eligibility questions
using the new electronic format. The
travelers’ information is pre-screened or
vetted against law enforcement
databases. Based on the results of the
pre-screening, the application is
approved or denied. The system
generates a board or no board status
message to the carrier indicating a
denied or approved authorization to
board before the flight. The applicant
also receives a message with the
application status: approved, denied,
canceled or pending. All information
will be saved in the newly created
Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program
database.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,560,000.
Estimated Number of Annual
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Number of Total Annual
Responses: 1,560,000.
Estimated Time per Response: 19
minutes (0.316 hours).
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 492,960.
Dated: June 16, 2020.

Branch Chief, Economic Impact Analysis
