SEC. 2. ENSURING TIMELY UPDATES TO U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION 
              FIELD MANUALS.

    (a) In General.--Not less frequently than triennially, the 
Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection shall review and 
update, as necessary, the current policies and manuals of the Office of 
Field Operations related to inspections at ports of entry to ensure the

along the border.
