data using multiple modes of biometrics.
    ``(i) Facilities.--All facilities at which the biometric exit data 
system established under this section is implemented shall provide and 
maintain space for Federal use that is adequate to support biometric 
data collection and other inspection-related activity. For non-
federally owned facilities, such space shall be provided and maintained 
at no cost to the Government. For all facilities at land ports of

Administrator of General Services.
    ``(j) Northern Land Border.--In the case of the northern land 
border, the requirements under subsections (a)(2)(C), (b)(2)(A), and

best interest of cross-border trade and the agricultural community--
            (1) any lack of certified personnel for inspection purposes 
        at ports of entry should be addressed by seeking cooperation 
        between agencies and departments of the United States, whether 
        in the form of a memorandum of understanding or through a 
        certification process, whereby additional existing agents are 
        authorized for additional hours to facilitate and expedite the 
        flow of legitimate trade and commerce of perishable goods in a 
        manner consistent with rules of the Department of Agriculture; 
        and
            (2) cross designation should be available for personnel who 
        will assist more than one agency or department of the United 
        States at land ports of entry to facilitate and expedite the 
        flow of increased legitimate trade and commerce.

SEC. 2108. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

                Secretary makes a determination regarding such 
                application, an otherwise removable alien may not be 
                removed from the United States unless--
                            (i) the Secretary makes a prima facie 
                        determination that such alien is, or has

                        and unreviewable discretion, determines that 
                        removal of the alien is in the national

                        interest of the United States.

                    (B) Alternative procedures.--The Secretary may 
                provide an alternative procedure for applicants who

                                any factors that would render an alien 
                                ineligible for such status.
                            (ii) Additional security screening.--The

                        appropriate, shall conduct an additional 
                        security screening upon determining, in the

                        country known to pose a threat, or that 
                        contains groups or organizations that pose a 
                        threat, to the national security of the United

                        alien may be granted contingent nonimmigrant 
                        status.
            (9) Confidentiality of information.--No information
