To provide for a change with respect to the requirements for a Canadian 
 border boat landing permit pursuant to section 235 of the Immigration 
                          and Nationality Act.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. CHANGE IN CANADIAN BORDER BOAT LANDING PERMIT REQUIREMENTS.

    Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
the Attorney General, in consultation with the Commissioner of 
Immigration and Naturalization, shall issue revised regulations for the 
implementation of section 235 of the Immigration and Nationality Act 
with respect to the requirement that certain individuals entering the 
United States from Canada by boat obtain a landing permit. The revised 
regulations shall provide that, in the case of a United States citizen 
traveling in a boat of not more than 65 feet in length (including a 
boat used for commercial purposes) on a trip between the United States 
and Canada of not more than 72 hours duration, the citizen need not 
obtain such a permit if the citizen carries a United States passport 
for the duration of the trip, regardless of whether the citizen is a 
passenger on, an owner of, or an operator of, the boat.
