Title: ●International Registered Traveler Programs 
Abstract: In order to comply with the Intelligence Reform Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRPTA), CBP proposes to establish a permanent International Registered Traveler (IRT) Program by rulemaking which will consolidate and simplify its international registered travel (IRT) programs and pilot projects with the goals of reducing confusion of the various programs and increasing transparency and participation in the available programs. CBP proposes to revise its existing regulations for all IRTs under part 235 of title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations (8 CFR part 235). Specifically, the intended regulatory changes will redesignate the existing regulations at 8 CFR 235.7 that cover PORTPASS IRT programs as regulations in a new 8 CFR 235.0. This new section would propose to also include the I-68 program (small pleasure boats), currently at 8 CFR 235.1(e), NEXUS, a US-Canada IRT described on the CBP Web site, and other successfully concluded pilot programs.
