        131, the Commissioner, with the approval of the Secretary of 
        Homeland Security, may pay a retention incentive to a covered 
        CBP employee who has been employed with U.S. Customs and Border 
        Protection for a period of longer than two consecutive years, 
        and the Commissioner determines that, in the absence of the 
        retention incentive, the covered CBP employee would likely--

                    (B) transfer to, or be hired into, a different 
                position within the Department of Homeland Security

        paid to a covered CBP employee under paragraph (1)--
                    (A) shall be approved by the Secretary of Homeland 
                Security and the Commissioner;
                    (B) shall be stated as a percentage of the 
                employee's rate of basic pay for the service period 
                associated with the incentive; and
                    (C) may not exceed $25,000 for each year of the 
                written agreement.
            (5) Form of payment.--A retention incentive paid to a

        (2), or in equal installments during the life of the service 
        agreement, as determined by the Commissioner.
            (6) Exclusion of retention incentive from rate of pay.--A 
        retention incentive paid to a covered CBP employee under 
        paragraph (1) shall not be considered part of the rate of basic 
        pay of the covered CBP employee for any purpose.
    (d) Pilot Program on Special Rates of Pay in Covered Areas.--
            (1) In general.--The Commissioner may establish a pilot 
        program to assess the feasibility and advisability of using

        to help meet the requirements set forth in section 131.
            (2) Maximum amount.--The rate of basic pay of a covered CBP 
        employee paid a special rate of pay under the pilot program may

                performing satisfactorily and there are metrics that 
                prove its success in meeting the requirements set forth 
                in section 131, the Secretary may extend the pilot 
                program until the date that is four years after the

        established under this section shall include a requirement for 
        the collection of biometric exit data for all categories of 
        individuals who are required to provide biometric entry data.
            ``(2) Exception for certain other individuals.--This 
        section shall not apply to individuals who exit and then 
        reenter the United States on a passenger vessel (as such term

        shall not apply to a United States citizen or a Canadian 
        citizen who exits the United States through a land port of

    ``(g) Collection of Data.--The Secretary may not require any non-
Federal person to collect biometric data pursuant to the biometric exit 
data system established under this section, except through a 
contractual agreement.
    ``(h) Multi-modal Collection.--In carrying out subsections (a)(1) 
and (b), the Secretary shall make every effort to collect biometric 
data using multiple modes of biometrics.
    ``(i) Facilities.--All non-federally owned facilities where 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. Such space shall be provided and maintained at no 
cost to the Government.
    ``(j) Northern Land Border.--In the case of the northern land 
border, the requirements under subsection (a)(2)(C), (b)(2)(A), and 
(b)(4) may be achieved through the sharing of biometric data provided 
to U.S. Customs and Border Protection by the Canadian Border Services 
Agency pursuant to the 2011 Beyond the Border agreement.
    ``(k) Congressional Review.--Not later than 90 days after the date 
of the enactment of this section, the Secretary shall submit to the

SEC. 207. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON COOPERATION BETWEEN AGENCIES.

    (a) Finding.--Congress finds that personnel constraints exist at 
land ports of entry with regard to sanitary and phytosanitary 
inspections for exported goods.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, in the 
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 the crossing and 
        trade 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 at land ports of 
        entry to facilitate increased trade and commerce.

SEC. 208. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.

    In addition to any amounts otherwise authorized to be appropriated, 
there is authorized to be appropriated $1,000,000,000 for each of the
