Title: Establishment of Global Entry Program | |
Abstract: CBP already operates several regulatory and non-regulatory international registered traveler programs, also known as trusted traveler programs. In order to comply with the Intelligence Reform Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRPTA), CBP is proposing to amend its regulations to establish another international registered traveler program called Global Entry. The Global Entry program would expedite the movement of low-risk, frequent international air travelers by providing an expedited inspection process for pre-approved, pre-screened travelers. These travelers would proceed directly to automated Global Entry kiosks upon their arrival in the United States. This Global Entry Program, along with the other programs that have already been established, are consistent with CBP's strategic goal of facilitating legitimate trade and travel while securing the homeland. Initially, participation in the program would be limited to U.S. citizens and nationals, U.S. Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs) and, as the result of signed agreements with the respective countries, citizens of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. CBP expects to expand the program to include non-immigrant aliens from other countries as well, upon the completion of agreements with additional countries. A pilot of Global Entry has been operating since June 6, 2008. | |
