Overview of This Information Collection

    Title: Trusted Traveler Programs and U.S. APEC Business Travel 
Card.
    OMB Number: 1651-0121.
    Form Number: 823S (SENTRI) and 823F (FAST).
    Current Actions: Extension without change.
    Type of Review: Extension (without change).
    Affected Public: Individuals and Businesses.
    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 and 235.12.
    This information collection also includes the U.S. APEC Business 
Travel Card (ABTC) Program, which is a voluntary program that allows 
U.S. citizens to use fast-track immigration lanes at airports in the 20 
other Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) member countries. This 
program is mandated by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Business 
Travel Cards Act of 2011, Public Law 112-54 and provided for by 8 CFR 
235.13.
    These collections of information include the data collected on the 
applications and kiosks for these programs. Applicants may apply to 
participate in these programs by using the Trusted Traveler Program 
(TTP) at https://ttp.cbp.dhs.gov/. Or at Trusted Traveler Enrollment 
Centers.
    After arriving at the Federal Inspection Services area of the 
airport, participants in Global Entry can undergo a self-serve 
inspection process using a Global Entry kiosk. During the self-service 
inspection, participants have their photograph and fingerprints taken, 
submit identifying information, and 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.
