Terms of Clearance: OIRA review resulted in CBP removing social media identifiers as a required field; this data point is now optional and will be clearly labeled as such. Terms of clearance: CBP will collect data on the efficacy of the “live” facial photograph to support identification and screening and to deter malafide actors. Additionally, CBP will collect data to determine how well the "liveness" test works across different demographic groups in order to assess whether the new biometrics collection is both equitable and reliable. This information will be provided to OIRA at the next revision or renewal action.

Burden Reduction Due to: Using Information Technology

Short Statement: There has been a decrease in the estimated annual burden hours previously reported due to: 1.) 2,500,000-million-hour reduction due to agency discretion, in tandem with burden reduction efforts, CBP's modernized tech. 2. ESTA Fee increased so public cost calculations have been adjusted. A reduction in burden due to agency estimates: 1.) A reduction in the level of participants/respondents and responses in the program (from approximately 19 million to 15 million annual applications received), not caused by a change in the program. 2.) Further correction in estimates regarding burden calculations led to a further decrease in the reported annual burden hours. Agency estimates not related to any changes.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $233,473,046
