Type of Review: Revision.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Abstract: The Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) established
new parole processes to allow certain
noncitizens from certain countries, and
their qualifying immediate family
members to request advance
authorization to travel to the United
States to seek a discretionary grant of
parole, issued on a case-by-case basis.
To support these processes, U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
developed the Advance Travel
Authorization (ATA) capability, which
allows individuals to submit
information within the CBP OneTM
application as part of the process.
Through an emergency approval, CBP
established the ATA collection.
Initially, this capability was utilized by
Venezuelan citizens and their qualifying
immediate family members seeking
authorization to travel to the United
States under the DHS-established parole
process for Venezuelans.1 DHS later
developed similar parole processes for
citizens of Cuba,2 Haiti,3 and
Nicaragua 4 and their qualifying
immediate family members. The four
processes are collectively known as the
CHNV process. There is no numerical
cap on the number of noncitizens from
these four countries who may apply;
however, there is a 30,000 limit on the
number of travel authorizations DHS
may issue each month across the CHNV
process. Additionally, participation is
limited in the ATA capability to those
individuals who meet certain DHSestablished criteria, including, but not
limited to, possession of a valid,
unexpired passport, as well as having an
approved U.S.-based financial
supporter.
ATA requires the collection of a facial
photograph via CBP OneTM from those
noncitizens who voluntarily elect to
participate in the CHNV process, in
order to provide accurate identity
information for completion of vetting in
advance of issuance of a travel
authorization.
Advance Travel Authorization (ATA)
The biographic information collected
on the I–134A is passed to CBP systems
to allow the individual to complete their
CBP One submission. The information
the individual enters in CBP One must
match the I–134A. The facial biometrics

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 101 / Thursday, May 23, 2024 / Notices
collected from noncitizens for the
CHNV process will be linked to
biographic information provided by the
individual to U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS). This
information collection will facilitate the
vetting of noncitizens seeking to obtain
advance authorization to travel. This
collection will also give air carriers that
participate in CBP’s Document
Validation (DocVal) program the ability
to validate an approved advance
authorization to travel, facilitating
generation of a noncitizen’s boarding
pass without having to use other manual
validation processes.
CBP OneTM allows the user to capture
the required biometrics, currently
limited to a live facial photograph, and
confirm submission after viewing the
captured image. If the user is not
satisfied with the image captured, the
user can retake the image. If the image
capture is unsuccessful, CBP OneTM will
provide the user with an error message
stating that the submission was
unsuccessful and permitting the user to
try again. If the user continues to
experience technical difficulties, the
CBP OneTM application provides a help
desk email to request assistance.
CBP conducts vetting to determine
whether the individual poses a security
risk to the United States, and to
determine whether the individual is
eligible to receive advance authorization
to travel to the United States to seek a
discretionary grant of parole at the port
of entry (POE). In the event that an
advance authorization to travel may be
denied because of a facial photograph
match found in criminal databases or if
there is a mismatch that limits the
ability to confirm identity, then the
match or mismatch will be verified by
a CBP officer before the advance travel
authorization is officially denied.
If the advance travel authorization is
denied, the individual will not be
authorized to travel to the United States
to seek parole under the CHNV process.
In the event that the user is not
authorized to travel under this process,
the user may still seek entry to the
United States through another process,
including by filing a request for
consideration of parole with USCIS or
applying with the Department of State
(DOS) to obtain a visa. If travel
authorization is approved, the approval
establishes that the individual has
obtained advance authorization to travel
to the United States to seek a
discretionary grant of parole, consistent
with 8 CFR 212.5(f), but does not
guarantee boarding or a specific
processing disposition at a POE. Upon
arrival at a U.S. POE, the traveler will
be subject to inspection by a CBP

officer, who will make a case-by-case
processing disposition determination.
This collection of information is
authorized by sections 103 and
212(d)(5) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1103 and
1182(d)(5)), and 8 CFR 212.5(f). DHS has
also publicly announced the CHNV
process policy and accompanying
collection on its website and has also
published Federal Register notices for
each of the named countries, as noted
above.
CBP OneTM collects the following
information from the individual
submitting a request for an advance
authorization to travel to the United
States to seek parole under the CHNV
process:
1. Facial Photograph
2. Photo obtained from the passport or
Chip on ePassport, where available
3. Alien Registration Number
4. First and Last Name
5. Date of Birth
6. Passport Number
Additionally, CBP further revised this
collection through another emergency
submission to include individuals
seeking to travel to the United States as
part of the Family Reunification Parole
(FRP) processes using the existing ATA
capability to submit information to CBP,
as updated for certain nationals of
Cuba 5 and Haiti,6 and as implemented
for certain nationals of Colombia,7
Guatemala,8 Honduras,9 El Salvador,10
and Ecuador.11 The FRP processes begin
with an invitation being sent to a
petitioner who previously received an
approved Form I–130, Petition for Alien
Relative, on behalf of the potential
principal beneficiary, and if applicable,
the beneficiary’s accompanying
derivative beneficiaries. The petitioner
then submits a Form I–134A, Online
Request to be a Supporter and
Declaration of Financial Support, on
behalf of the potential principal
beneficiary, and if applicable, the
beneficiary’s accompanying derivative
beneficiaries. For those petitioners
whose Form I–134A is confirmed by
USCIS, the beneficiaries will receive an
email with instructions to create an
online account with myUSCIS. There,
the potential beneficiary will confirm
their biographic information and
complete attestations, and then receive
instructions to download the CBP
OneTM mobile application to continue

through the process. USCIS will send
the biographic information to CBP.
Additionally, once the beneficiary
completes their CBP OneTM submission,
utilizing the ATA capability, CBP will
conduct vetting, and if appropriate,
issue an advance authorization to travel.
The information collected as part of
these new FRP processes is the same as
that which is already collected from
other populations through ATA. This
information collection will facilitate the
vetting of noncitizens seeking to obtain
advance authorization to travel and will
give air carriers that participate in CBP’s
DocVal program the ability to validate
an approved travel authorization,
facilitating generation of a noncitizen’s
boarding pass without having to use
other manual validation processes.
New Changes
1. Adding Uniting for Ukraine (U4U)
respondent group to collection:
In response to the President’s
commitment to welcome 100,000
Ukrainian citizens and others fleeing
Russia’s aggression, DHS, in
coordination with DOS, established the
Uniting for Ukraine (U4U) parole
process on April 25, 2022.12 This
process allows certain Ukrainian
citizens and their qualifying family
members to submit certain identifying
information to USCIS and CBP to
facilitate the issuance of an advance
authorization to travel to the United
States to seek parole. At the time U4U
was implemented, full ATA capability
was not yet developed and CBP uses
different processes to screen and vet
Ukrainians seeking parole. Currently,
individuals seeking to travel under U4U
do not utilize CBP OneTM or the ATA
capability during their process. To align
U4U with other DHS parole processes,
including CHNV and FRP, the ATA
capability will be implemented for those
individuals requesting authorization to
travel to the United States to seek a
discretionary grant of parole. The ATA
capability will be added as part of a step
in the U4U process to facilitate the
vetting of noncitizens seeking to obtain
advance authorization to travel and will
give air carriers that participate in CBP’s
DocVal program the ability to validate
an approved travel authorization,
facilitating generation of a noncitizen’s
boarding pass without having to use
other manual validation processes.
2. Adjusted Burden:
Furthermore, in coordination with
USCIS, CBP has added to the burden
estimate for this collection, to account
for any potential expansion(s) that align
with new or revised policies or

processing capacity over the next three
years.
3. New Data Element:
This revision also adds a new data
element to this collection: the physical
location (longitude/latitude) of device
utilizing ATA at the time of any
biometric information submission. This
data element will further secure the
submission process and provide
accurate identity information for
completion of vetting in advance of
issuance of a travel authorization.
CBP invites comments from the
public on all changes established by
previously approved emergency
submissions and the new proposed
revisions listed in this FRN.

experience challenges. In order to work
continuously to ensure that our
programs are effective and meet our
customers’ needs, CBP seeks to obtain
OMB approval of a generic clearance to
collect qualitative feedback on our
service delivery. By qualitative feedback
we mean information that provides
useful insights on perceptions and
opinions but are not statistical surveys
that yield quantitative results that can
be generalized to the population of
study.
This collection of information is
necessary to enable CBP to garner
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient, timely manner, in
accordance with our commitment to
improving service delivery. The
information collected from our
customers and stakeholders will help
ensure that users have an effective,
efficient, and satisfying experience with
CBP’s programs. This feedback will
provide insights into customer or
stakeholder perceptions, experiences,
and expectations, provide an early
warning of issues with service, or focus
attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative,
