    SUMMARY: This interim rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization 
    Service (Service) regulations: To allow for implementation of 
    additional land border inspection fee projects designed to facilitate 
    the entry of identified, low-risk, legitimate border crossers on the 
    northern border; to allow for the implementation of a pilot dedicated 
    commuter lane (DCL) to facilitate the entry of identified, low-risk, 
    legitimate border crossers on the California-Mexico border; to 
    incorporate into 8 CFR 235.13 those provisions currently set forth in 8 
    CFR 286.8 pertaining to port designations and inspections of persons 
    applying for admission to the United States; to increase the pool of 
    eligible participants in pilot projects; and to clarify fee and 
    application requirements of project participants. This rule is 
    necessary to enhance inspection services at land border Ports-of-Entry 
    (POEs) on the northern border and on the California-Mexico border, 
    while still safeguarding those borders.
    
    DATES: This interim rule is effective September 29, 1995. Written 
    comments must be received on or before November 28, 1995.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The provisions of Public Law 101-515, dated 
    November 5, 1990, authorized the establishment of pilot projects at 
    land border POEs for which a fee may be charged and collected for 
    inspection services provided at land border POEs. The implementing 
    regulation which established pilot programs for the charging of a land 
    border user fee for inspection services was published by the Service on 
    May 13, 1991, at 56 FR 21917-21920. The interim rule placed all 
    eligibility requirements, application processes, and compliance 
    requirements pertaining to inspection user fees in Sec. 286.6.
        All land border pilot projects were originally scheduled to 
    terminate on September 30, 1993. This deadline was extended to 
    September 30, 1996, by Public Law 103-121, October 27, 1993. Public Law 
    103-121 also limited land border pilot projects to the northern border 
    of the United States. On August 26, 1994, Congress passed Public Law 
    103-217, permitting land border pilot projects on the California-Mexico 
    border. This interim rule, therefore, also amends Service regulations 
    as necessary to implement a pilot DCL on the California-Mexico border.
        In addition to adding a variety of border inspection pilot projects 
    to selected POEs on the northern and southern land borders, this rule 
    will move application and eligibility requirements for those persons 
    seeking to participate in any of the pilot projects to part 235 of this 
    chapter. By expanding and testing pilot projects on land borders, the 
    entry of low-risk, legitimate border crossers will be facilitated and 
    integrity of the United States land borders maintained.
    
    Port Passenger Accelerated Service System (PORTPASS) Program
    
        This rule seeks to expand the testing of land border inspection 
    pilot programs, hereinafter collectively known as the Port Passenger 
    Accelerated Service System (PORTPASS) Program. It will add a new 
    Sec. 235.13, in which general criteria used by the Service to establish 
    pilot inspection programs on the northern and California-Mexico border 
    will be set forth. PORTPASS program eligibility requirements, 
    application procedures, and compliance requirements will be included in 
    the new Sec. 235.13 because these program elements are inspection 
    functions. The present provisions in Sec. 286.8, relating to the 
    collection of land border inspection pilot program fees, will be 
    retained in the immigration user fee section only for the purposes of 
    clarity and uniformity.
        By identifying eligible, low-risk border crossers and providing a 
    means for rapid entry of those individuals into the United States, 
    PORTPASS will lessen the time required for all persons to cross the 
    border at large POEs. PORTPASS will also benefit those persons who 
    typically use the smaller, more geographically remote POEs which have 
    limited hours of operation by designating certain POEs as Automated 
    Permit Ports (APPs). Eligible persons who apply for, and are approved 
    for use of, an APP may enter the United States when the APP is not 
    staffed.
        Participation in PORTPASS, including advance screening, inspection 
    and identification, and subsequent lawful entry through a DCL or APP by 
    an enrolled participant, will satisfy the reporting requirement of 8 
    CFR 235.1(a), which states that ``[a]pplication to enter the United 
    States shall be made in person to an immigration officer at a U.S. port 
    of entry enumerated in 8 CFR part 100 at a time when the immigration 
    office at the port is open for inspection.''
        PORTPASS participants will not be permitted to import merchandise 
    or transport controlled or restricted items through the PORTPASS 
    program. Violation of the rules governing the PORTPASS program, or 
    violating any immigration, customs, agricultural or other law or 
    regulation, may result in revocation of the permit access authorization 
    and other sanctions, including, but not limited to, criminal and/or 
    administrative prosecution and deportation, seizure of goods and/or 
    vehicles.
        The Form I-823, entitled, ``Application--Dedicated Commuter Lane 
    Program,'' has been revised and retitled to, ``Application--Inspections 
    Facilitation Program.'' Each applicant applying for use of a Dedicated 
    Commuter Lane as part of the PORTPASS program on the northern or 
    California-Mexico border will be required to file the new form and 
    submit the required application fee, currently $25. Under certain 
    circumstances, the $25 application fee may be waived by the district 
    director having jurisdiction over the POE where the applicant requests 
    access. This rule will also amend Secs. 299.1 and 299.5 to reflect the 
    change in the title of the application. In establishing the Land Border 
    Inspection Pilot Program, Congress identified the need to 
    counterbalance the inspection of passengers and vehicles with the need 
    to halt the flow of illegal drugs and illegal aliens into the United 
    States. Therefore, in addition to filing the I-823, applicants may be 
    required to submit fingerprints in order to determine eligibility as a 
    low-risk border crosser. If a fingerprint check is required, the 
    applicant will be assessed the additional processing fee.
        This rule expands the pool of eligible persons who may be permitted 
    to use the PORTPASS system. One of the stated purposes of the land 
    border inspections pilot program is the alleviation of traffic 
    congestion at land border POEs. Therefore, it is necessary to allow the 
    greatest number of identified, low-risk border crossers to participate. 
    Currently, only citizens and legal permanent residents of the United 
    States and citizens of Canada and landed immigrants of Canada who are 
    citizens of the commonwealth nations are eligible applicants for the 
    DCL project on the northern border. This rule would also make other 
    non-immigrants as determined by the Commissioner of the Service, 
    eligible for participation in all PORTPASS projects. Many third-country 
    citizens and nationals are admitted to the United States for extended 
    periods of time and may live in the United States but commute across 
    the border to work, attend school, or conduct business. Third-country 
    nationals who are citizens of countries other than the commonwealth 
    nations are admitted to Canada as permanent residents and may also 
    require access to the United States for similar purposes. Through the 
    application process set forth in the regulation, admissibility and 
    suitability of an applicant for entry to the United States will readily 
    be determined. The application process will be more thorough than that 
    required by any person who applies for admission at a land border POE, 
    and will include a check of computer databases. Additionally, each 
    applicant will be personally inspected and positively identified by an 
    immigration officer to further determine admissibility prior to 
    approval of his or her application. The applicant will also be required 
    to permit random checks and inspections to be conducted by the Service 
    at any time or location, to ensure compliance.
        Currently, only the principal applicant must pay the required fee 
    upon approval for the DCL application, although other persons may be 
    listed on the principal's application. This rule will amend the 
    regulation by requiring a separate application and application fee from 
    all applicants to a PORTPASS project, including DCL programs 
    
    [[Page 50388]]
    currently operable. A family cap of $50, family defined to include 
    husband, wife and/or children under the age of 18 years of age, will be 
    imposed so as to not unduly burden families who often travel together 
    across the border. Applicants under the age of 14 will be required to 
    complete and submit the application, but will not be required to pay 
    the application fee. Additionally, a ``system costs fee'' will be 
    assessed to approved applicants who wish to participate in the system 
    to cover the costs of additional technology. Information about the fee, 
    including the amount, will be included in publications made available 
    to the public prior to and/or during the application process. Law 
    enforcement and security concerns peculiar to the southern border of 
    the United States, in addition to the additional documentation required 
    of Mexican nationals by the Immigration and Nationality Act, augments 
    the degree that specialized devices, decals, technologies, and other 
    methods are necessary to inspect applicants for entry. The use of 
    technology , decals, and other devices or methods used to identify and 
    inspect persons through DCL's on the southern border increases the cost 
    to the INS of a DCL on that border. By charging a system costs fee for 
    each vehicle using the DCL, the cost of operating the DCL will be 
    fairly distributed among users of the DCL. All revenue generated by the 
    PORTPASS program will directly support inspections on the land border, 
    and facilitate traffic flow through designated POEs. Fees collected 
    will cover the costs of:
        (1) Hiring additional immigration inspectors, including all 
    associated personnel costs;
        (2) Expanding, operating and maintaining information systems for 
    nonimmigrant control;
        (3) Construction costs, including those associated with the 
    addition of new primary traffic lanes (with the concurrence of the 
    General Services Administration);
        (4) Procuring detection devices and conducting training in the 
    identification of fraudulent documents used by applicants for illegal 
    entry into the United States;
        (5) Other costs associated with the operation of the PORTPASS 
    program; and
        (6) Costs associated with the administration of the Land Border 
    Inspection Fee Account.
        The Service's implementation of this rule a an interim rule, with 
    provision for post-promulgation public comment, is based on the ``good 
    cause'' exception found at 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). The reason and necessity 
    for immediate implementation of this interim rule are as follows: 
    Expanding the pilot program will directly benefit the traveling public 
    by expediting their entry into the United States. In order to evaluate 
    the effectiveness and utility of the PORTPASS project, and make a 
    determination whether to continue and/or expand such projects, data 
    must be collected. Pilot projects are due to expire September 30, 1996. 
    Therefore, it is in the best interest of the traveling public to expand 
    the land border user fee pilot program as soon as possible. All pilot 
    projects are focused on the traveling public as customers and are 
    designed to directly benefit large populations. Proceeding with an 
    interim regulation at this time will allow the affected agencies and 
    the public to gain maximum benefits from the pilot program.
    
    Regulatory Flexibility Act
    
        The Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, in 
    accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), has 
    reviewed this regulation and, by approving it, certifies that the rule 
    will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
    small entities because of the following factors. The rule applies to 
    individuals, not small entities, and provides a clear benefit to 
    participants by allowing expeditious passage through a POE. Although 
    there is a fee charged for this service, participation is voluntary.
    
    Executive Order 12866
    
        This rule is not considered by the Department of Justice, 
    Immigration and Naturalization Service, to be a ``significant 
    regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866, section 3(f), 
    Regulatory Planning and Review, and the Office of Management and Budget 
    has waived its review process under section 6(a)(3)(A).
    
    Executive Order 12612
    
        The regulations proposed herein will not have substantial direct 
    effects on the States, on the relationship between the National 
    Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and 
    responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, in 
    accordance with Executive Order 12612, it is determined that this rule 
    does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the 
    preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
    
    Executive Order 12606
    
        The Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service 
    certifies that she has addressed this rule in light of the criteria in 
    Executive Order 12606 and has determined that it will have no effect on 
    family well-being.
        The information collection requirement contained in this rule has 
    been cleared by the Office of Management and Budget under the 
    provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The clearance number for 
    this collection is contained in 8 CFR 299.5, Display of control 
    numbers.

    Sec. 235.1  [Amended]
    
        4. In Sec. 235.1, paragraph (a) is amended by:
        (a) Adding the word ``either'' between the words ``made'' and ``in 
    person'', and by
        (b) Removing the period after the word ``inspection'' and adding 
    the phrase ``or as provided in Sec. 235.13.''
        5. A new Sec. 235.13 is added to read as follows:
    
    
    Sec. 235.13  Automated inspection services.
    
        (a) PORTPASS Program. (1) Definitions. (i) Port Passenger 
    Accelerated Service System (PORTPASS). A system in which certain ports-
    of-entry (POEs) are identified and designated by the Service as 
    providing access to the United States for a group of identified, low-
    risk, border crossers. Participants in the PORTPASS program are 
    inspected, identified, and screened in advance of approval for 
    participation in the program by an immigration officer, and may apply 
    to enter the United States through a dedicated commuter lane (DCL) or 
    through an automated permit port (APP). Such advance inspection and 
    identification, when the enrolled participant also satisfies the 
    conditions and requirements set forth in Sec. 235.13(b), satisfies the 
    reporting requirements of Sec. 235.1(a). Each use of the PORTPASS 
    system constitutes a separate application for entry by the program 
    participant.
        (ii) Automated Permit Port (APP). A POE designated by the Service 
    to provide access to the United States by an identified, low-risk, 
    border crosser through the use of automation when the POE is not 
    staffed. An APP has limited hours of operation and is located at a 
    remote location on a land border. This program is limited to the 
    northern border of the United States.
        (iii) Dedicated Commuter Lane (DCL). A special lane set apart from 
    the normal flow of traffic at a busier land border POE which allows an 
    accelerated inspection for identified, low-risk travelers. This program 
    is limited to the northern border of the United States and the 
    California-Mexico border.
        (iv) System costs fee. A fee charged to participants to cover the 
    cost of implementing the PORTPASS system.
        (2) Designation of POEs for PORTPASS access. The following criteria 
    shall be used by the Service in the selection of a POE if classifying 
    that POE as having PORTPASS access under the pilot program:
        (i) The location has an identifiable group of low-risk border 
    crossers;
        (ii) The institution of PORTPASS access will not significantly 
    inhibit normal traffic flow;
        (iii) The POE selected for access via a DCL has a sufficient number 
    of Service personnel to perform primary and secondary inspection 
    functions.
        (3) General eligibility requirements for PORTPASS program 
    applicants. Applicants must be citizens or lawful permanent residents 
    of the United States, or other non-immigrants as determined eligible by 
    the Commissioner of the Service. Non-United States citizens must meet 
    all applicable documentary and entry eligibility requirements of the 
    Act. Applicants must agree to furnish all information requested on the 
    application, and must agree to terms set forth for use of the PORTPASS 
    program. Notwithstanding the provisions of 8 CFR part 264, applicants 
    may be required to submit fingerprints on Form FD-258 or in the manner 
    prescribed by the Service for the purpose of determining eligibility 
    for participation in the PORTPASS program.
        (4) Application. (i) Application for PORTPASS access shall be made 
    on Form I-823, Application--Inspections Facilitation Program. 
    Applications may be submitted during regular working hours at the port-
    of-entry having jurisdiction over the port-of-entry for which the 
    applicant requests access. Applications may also be submitted by mail. 
    Each applicant must present himself or herself for inspection and 
    positive identification prior to approval of the application. Each 
    person seeking PORTPASS access must file a separate application.''
        (ii) Applications must be supported by evidence of citizenship, 
    and, in the case of lawful permanent residents of the United States, 
    evidence of legal permanent resident status in the United States. 
    Evidence of residency must be submitted by all applicants. Alien 
    applicants requiring a valid visa must be in possession of such 
    documentation and any other documentation as required by the Act at the 
    time of the application, at the time of each entry, and at all times 
    while present in the United States.
        (iii) A completed application must be accompanied by the fee as 
    prescribed in Sec. 103.7(b)(1) of this chapter. Each PORTPASS applicant 
    14 years of age or older must complete the application and pay the 
    application fee. Applicants under the age of 14 will be required to 
    complete the application, but will not be required to pay the 
    application fee. The district director having jurisdiction over the POE 
    where the applicant requests access may, in his or her discretion, 
    waive the application fee.
        (iv) Each vehicle registered by a PORTPASS participant must be 
    inspected and approved by the Service prior to use in the PORTPASS 
    system.
        (v) An application may be denied in the discretion of the district 
    director having jurisdiction over the POE where the applicant requests 
    access. Notice of such denial shall be given to the applicant. There is 
    no appeal from the denial, but denial is without prejudice to 
    reapplying for this or any other Service benefit.
        (vi) Applications approved by the Service will entitle the 
    applicant to seek entry via a designated PORTPASS Program POE for a 
    period of 1 year from the date of approval of the application unless 
    approval is otherwise withdrawn.
        (5) In addition to the conditions set forth in Sec. 235.13(b), 
    participants must agree to the following:
        (i) The installation and/or use of any and all decals, devices, 
    technology or other methodology deemed necessary by the Service to 
    ensure inspection of the person(s) seeking entry through a DCL, in 
    addition to any monetary deposit assessed by the Service pending return 
    of any and all such decals, devices, technology, and other methodology 
    in undamaged condition;
        (ii) The payment of a system costs fee as determined by the Service 
    as necessary to cover the costs of any and all decals, devices, 
    technology, or other methodology used to identify and inspect persons 
    seeking access through the DCL.
        (6) The district director having jurisdiction over the POE where 
    the participant has access may, in his or her discretion, waive the 
    deposit and ``system costs fee.''
        (b) Conditions for participation in the PORTPASS Program. Upon 
    being inspected and positively identified by an immigration officer and 
    found admissible and eligible for participation in the PORTPASS 
    program, a participant in the PORTPASS program must agree to abide by 
    the following conditions:
    
    [[Page 50390]]
    
        (1) APP-approved participants who wish to enter the United States 
    through a POE other than one designated as an APP through which they 
    may pass must present themselves for inspection or examination by an 
    immigration officer during normal business hours. Entry to the United 
    States during hours when an APP port is not staffed may be made only 
    through a POE designated as an APP.
        (2) Each occupant of a vehicle entering through a POE providing 
    PORTPASS access must have applied for participation in the PORTPASS 
    Program and must have been approved for that purpose.
        (3) Participants must be in possession of any authorization 
    documents issued for PORTPASS access and any other entry documents as 
    required by the Act or by regulation at time of each entry to the 
    United States.
        (4) Participants must positively identify themselves in the manner 
    prescribed by the Service at the time of each application for entry via
