Overview of This Information
Collection
Title: Global Interoperability
Standards (GIS)
OMB Number: 1651–0NEW.
Form Number: N/A.
Current Actions: New Collection of
Information.
Type of Review: New Collection of
Information.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Abstract: The Silicon Valley
Innovation Program (SVIP), part of the
Department of Homeland Security’s
Science and Technology Directorate,
helps develop and find new
technologies that strengthen national
security with the goal of reshaping how
government and industry work together
to find cutting-edge solutions to
problems such as those involved in
pipeline-borne goods. Neoflow (a SVIP
participant) has a platform (the Neoflow
platform) to document the movement
(including ownership changes) of crude
oil. The Neoflow platform will monitor
Canadian crude oil, a continuous flow
commodity, using global
interoperability standards (GIS) adopted
by test participants who will supply and
input the GIS data into the Neoflow
platform where CBP will be able to view
the data in near real time. GIS data
utilizes decentralized identifiers (DIDs)
and verifiable credentials (VCs) to help
in identifying legitimate products and
associated companies to build a
transparent supply chain.
A transparent supply chain will be
achieved in the Neoflow platform
through the recordation of bi-lateral
transaction data at each step in a supply
chain, allowing for dynamic updates of
ownership and destination information,
securing supply chains from disclosure
to unauthorized parties, and making this
data available to CBP in near real time
while creating an immutable chain of
custody from wellhead to refinery.
If successful, the test could result in
the ability to potentially eliminate all
port-level paper processes as well as
create an automation environment in
which pre-arrival data collection, inbond tracking, and Free Trade
Agreement compliance traceability no
longer pose issues.
Therefore, the purpose of the test is to
measure the usefulness and accuracy of
the Neoflow platform’s GIS with a view

toward resolving any issues prior to
determining next steps (which could
include implementing new policies and
regulations leading to the integration of
GIS data with the Automated
Commercial Environment (ACE) for
Canadian crude oil and other pipeline
commodities for entry purposes). The
test will be limited to pipeline oil
products coming from Canada but may
be expanded in the future to other
commodities upon successful
implementation of the test.

Overview of This Information
Collection
Title: Collection of Advance
Information from Certain Individuals on
the Land Border.
OMB Number: 1651–0140.
Form Number: N/A.
Current Actions: This submission will
revise the collection to include
documented individuals and extend the
expiration date of this information
collection.
Type of Review: Revision.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Abstract: The Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) and its
component U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) have established a
process to streamline the processing of
travelers under title 8 of the United
States Code at ports of entry (POEs).
This process involves the submission of
certain biographic and biometric
information to CBP, via the CBP One TM
application, in advance of arrival at a
POE.
Under this collection, CBP collects
certain biographic and biometric
information from travelers via the CBP
One TM application, prior to their arrival
at a POE, to streamline their processing
at the POE. The requested information
is that which CBP would otherwise
collect from these individuals during
primary and/or secondary processing.
This information is provided directly by
travelers. Providing this information
reduces the amount of data entered by
CBP Officers (CBPOs) and the
corresponding time required to process
travelers at the POE.
The biographic and biometric
information being collected in advance,
that would otherwise be collected
during primary and/or secondary
processing at the POEs, includes
descriptive information such as: Name,
Date of Birth, Country of Birth, City of
Birth, Country of Residence, Contact
Information, Addresses, Nationality,
Employment history (optional), Travel
history, Emergency Contact (optional),
U.S. and foreign addresses, Familial
Information, Marital Status, Identity
Document (not a Western Hemisphere
Travel Initiative (WHTI) compliant
document) (optional), Name and contact
information for someone who assisted
the user (Optional), Gender, Preferred
Language, Height, Weight, Eye color and
Photograph.

This collection may require the
submission of a live facial photograph
for all noncitizens who choose to
provide advance information to CBP via
CBP One TM. The submission of a live
photograph in advance provides CBPOs
with a mechanism to match a noncitizen
who arrives at the POE with the
photograph submitted in advance,
therefore identifying those individuals,
and verifying their identity as well as
conducting advance vetting. The live
photograph is particularly important for
identity verification if an NGO/IO is not
assisting an individual in scheduling
their presentation at a POE. In addition,
the requirement for a live photo that
contains latitude and longitude data
points allows CBP to ensure the
individual is physically located within
the designated geofence areas. Creating
designated areas allows an individual to
secure an appointment without
congregating in potentially dangerous
conditions at the U.S. Southwest
Border; and only traveling to or through
Mexico for the intended purpose of
presenting themselves to CBP for
inspection. Documented travelers will
be required to submit a photo but will
not be required to utilize the liveness
feature.
In addition, CBP allows individuals to
request to present themselves for
processing at a specific POE on a
specific day or days, although such a
request does not guarantee that an
individual will be processed on a given
date or at a given time. Individuals also
have the opportunity to modify their
requests within the CBP OneTM
application to an alternate day or time.
The functionality to modify their
request to an alternative date and time
does not require the collection of new
Personal Identification Information (PII)
data elements.
Noncitizens who use CBP One are
processed in a more streamlined manner
at the POE, since their advance
information is prepopulated into CBP
systems, which reduces manual data
entry during processing. Travelers who
did not submit information through CBP
One may need to wait to be processed
in a separate line from those who used
CBP One (reserved for those who
submitted their advance information
and scheduled a presentation date).
CBP invites the public to comment on
the previously approved Emergency
Revision for Noncitizens only:
1. Change in CBP One Geofence
Designated Areas:
In response to a request from the
Government of Mexico, CBP is adjusting
the specific boundaries from where
individuals can request and confirm
CBP One appointments.

Frm 00065

Fmt 4703

Under the current process,
individuals seeking appointments must
be located within Central or Northern
Mexico. The Government of Mexico has
requested an adjustment to the geofence
to assist in its efforts to influence where
individuals congregate while they seek
a CBP One appointment. CBP will be
expanding the geofence for Mexican
nationals to all of Mexico and CBP will
be adding the Mexican states of Tabasco
and Chiapas to the current boundaries
for all other nationalities. By adjusting
the boundaries, CBP will assist the
Government of Mexico in its efforts to
enforce its immigration laws and
regulations and align resources to those
areas where migrants are located. The
Government of Mexico has the right to
enforce their immigration laws and
regulations and the current geofence
boundaries hinder their migration
enforcement approach. Further geofence
adjustments may be made in the future
in response to Government of Mexico
requests.
2. Validation Tool:
Due to the volume of individuals
traveling through Mexico to present at a
POE at a designated date and time, the
Government of Mexico is requesting
assistance in validating appointments of
individuals or groups of individuals it
encounters transiting through Mexico.
In response, CBP is deploying a
validation mechanism to assist Mexican
government officials when they
encounter an individual or group who
claim to have a CBP One appointment.
The tool will require the Mexican
government official to enter an
individual’s CBP One confirmation
number and date of birth. Once
submitted, the tool will return
confirmation of any valid CBP One
appointment with the appointment date,
time, and location, as well as the total
number of people in the group.
This Revision Submission:
In the previous 60-day FRN CBP
announced no changes to the collection,
however in this notice CBP has added
a new change that enables documented
travelers to utilize the CBP One
application, previously a feature only
available for undocumented travelers.
