be collected; and

who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated,

    Title: Trusted Traveler Programs (Global Entry, SENTRI and FAST).
    OMB Number: 1651-0121.
    Form Numbers: 823S (SENTRI) and 823F (FAST).
    Abstract: This collection of information is for CBP's Trusted 
Traveler Programs including the Secure Electronic Network for Travelers 
Rapid Inspection (SENTRI), which allows expedited entry at specified 
southwest land border ports of entry; the Free and Secure Trade Program 
(FAST), which provides expedited border processing for known, low-risk 
commercial drivers; and Global Entry which allows pre-approved, low-
risk, air travelers expedited clearance upon arrival into the United 
States. The purpose of all of these programs is to provide prescreened 
travelers expedited entry into the United States. The benefit to the 
traveler is less time spent in line waiting to be processed. These 
Trusted Traveler programs are provided for in 8 CFR 235.7.
    This collection of information involves the data collected on the 
applications and kiosks for these Trusted Traveler Programs. Applicants 
may apply to participate in these programs by using the Global On-line 
Enrollment System (GOES) at https://goes-app.cbp.dhs.gov. Or they may 
also apply for SENTRI and FAST using paper forms (CBP Form 823S for 
SENTRI and CBP Form 823F for FAST) available at http://www.cbp.gov or 
at Trusted Traveler Enrollment Centers.
    After arriving at the Federal Inspection Services area of the 
airport, participants use a self-serve inspection process, in lieu of 
inspection by an officer, by going to a Global Entry kiosk to have a 
photograph and fingerprints taken, submit identifying information, and 
to answer several questions about items they are bringing into the 
United States. When using the Global Entry kiosks, participants are 
required to declare all articles being brought into the United States 
pursuant to 19 CFR 148.11.
    Current Actions: This submission is being made to extend the 
expiration date and to revise the burden hours as a result of updated 
estimates of the number of applicants for Global Entry and SENTRI. The 
burden hours were also adjusted to reflect a revised estimated time to 
complete the Global Entry application. The burden hours also reflect an 
increase in the number of respondents using the Global Entry kiosks and 
a decrease in the estimate of time it takes to use the kiosks.
    There is no change to the information being collected on the 
Trusted Traveler forms, the Global On-line Enrollment System (GOES) or 
on the Global Entry kiosks.
    Type of Review: Extension with a change to the burden hours.
    Affected Public: Individuals and Businesses.
