The rule is designed to enhance national security and the level of security provided under the regulations for the commercial air and sea travel industries, and consequently increase national security in general. The rule also implements the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, which requires that electronic manifest information for passengers onboard commercial aircraft arriving in and departing from the United States, and passengers and crew onboard arriving and departing commercial vessels (with certain exceptions), be vetted by DHS against a government-established and maintained terrorist watch list prior to departure of the aircraft or vessel. Under this final rule, there are three options for air carriers to transmit manifest data for aircraft departing from or en route to the United States: Transmission of passenger manifests in batch form by an interactive method no later than 30 minutes prior to the securing of the aircraft doors (APIS 30); transmission of individual passenger manifest information as each passenger checks in for the flight, up to, but no later than, the time the flight crew secures the aircraft doors (APIS interactive Quick Query or AQQ); and transmission of passenger manifests in batch form by a non-interactive method no later than 30 minutes prior to the securing of the aircraft doors (APIS 30 "non- interactive"). For sea travel, CBP will require vessel carriers to transmit passenger and crew manifests for vessels departing from the United States no later than 60 minutes prior to departure. For vessels departing from foreign ports destined to arrive at a U.S. port, CBP is retaining the current requirement to transmit passenger and crew arrival manifest data at least 24 hours and up to 96 hours prior to the vessel's entry at the U.S. port of arrival. 72 FR 48320 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2007-08-23/E7-15985 E7-15985 fr23au07-14 RIN 1651-AA62 9111-14-P USCBP-2005-0003 CBP Dec. 07-64 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2007-08-23/E7-15985 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-08-23/html/E7-15985.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-08-23/pdf/E7-15985.pdf Air Carriers Aircraft Airports Air Transportation Commercial Aircraft Entry Procedure Security Measures Aliens Customs Duties and Inspection Immigration Maritime Carriers Passenger Vessels Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Vessels 26 p. 48320 48345 72 FR 48320 Title 19 Part 122 19 CFR Part 122 Title 19 Part 4 19 CFR Part 4 RIN 1651-AA62 Advance Electronic Transmission of Passenger and Crew Member Manifests for Commercial Aircraft and Vessels; Federal Register Vol. 72, Issue RULE E7-15985 II DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Bureau of Customs and Border Protection 2008-02-19 USCBP-2005-0003 CBP Dec. 07-64 9111-14-P E7-15985 Final rule.
