In order to enhance national security, the Department of Homeland Security developed a biometric based entry and exit system capable of improving the information resources available to immigration and border management decision-makers. These biometrics include: digital fingerprint scans, photographs, facial images and iris images, or other biometric identifiers. Biometrics are collected from those aliens specified in 8 CFR 215.8 and 8 CFR 235.1(f). Non-exempt, non-U.S. citizens will have their facial and iris images captured upon entry to and exit from the United States. The information collected is used to provide assurance of identity and determine admissibility of those seeking entry into the United States.
Interim-Final Rule (IFR)
PL:
Pub.L. 106 - 215 114
Name of Law: Immigration and Naturalization Service Data Management Improvement Act of 2000
CBP is publishing an interim final rule âCollection of Biometric Data from Noncitizens Upon Entry to and Departure from the United Statesâ where a significant amount of biometric identity collection will now be conducted by facial comparison technology rather than fingerprinting. This interim final rule will decrease the estimated annual burden hours previously reported for this information collection due to implementing improved facial comparison technology to conduct biometric identity verification which have different time per response estimates. There was a 298,844,049 increase in the number of overall respondents, as CBP has requested to revise this collection to include biometric collection for U.S. citizens and noncitizens entering the United States and exiting the United States.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
