    Abstract: The Canadian Border Boat Landing Permit, U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) Form I-68, allows select individuals entering 
the United States along the northern border by small \1\ pleasure boats 
to report their arrival and make entry without having to travel to a

States citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents of the United States, 
Canadian citizens, and Landed Residents of Canada who are nationals of 
the Visa Waiver Program countries listed in 8

CFR 217.2(a) are eligible to apply for the permit.

    The information collected on CBP Form I-68 is provided for by 8 CFR 
235.1(g) and Section 235 of Immigration and Nationality Act. CBP Form 
I-68 is accessible at http://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title=68&=Apply.
    CBP has developed a smart phone application known as ROAM that will 
in certain circumstances allow travelers participating in the I-68 
program to report their arrival in the United States through the ROAM 
application, instead of by telephone. The ROAM app, implementing the I-
68 program, will allow CBP officers to remotely conduct traveler 
interviews with a phone's video chat capability, and replace other 
technologies used for remote inspections that are obsolete or 
inefficient.
