Short Statement: CBP is publishing an interim final rule “Collection of Biometric Data from Noncitizens Upon Entry to and Departure from the United States” 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.
