RIN 1651–AB34 

Harmonization of the Fees and 

Application Procedures for the Global 

Entry and SENTRI Programs and Other 

Changes 

AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection, Department of Homeland 

Security. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; 

correction; re-opening of comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the 

Federal Register of September 9, 2020, 

concerning harmonization of the fees for 

the Global Entry and SENTRI trusted 

traveler programs as well as other 

changes to those programs. An incorrect 

Regulation Identifier Number (RIN) was 

inadvertently listed in the heading of 

that document. This document corrects 

the September 9, 2020 document to 

reflect that the correct RIN is 1651– 

AB34 as set forth above. Additionally, 

CBP included a summary of the CBP 

Trusted Traveler Programs Fee Study 

(Fee Study) in the NPRM and stated that 

the full Fee Study was included in the 

docket of the rulemaking. CBP 

inadvertently failed to post the Fee 

Study on the docket when the NPRM 

was published. Therefore, CBP is 

notifying the public that the Fee Study 

has now been posted in the docket and 

that CBP is re-opening the comment 

period and requesting comments on the 

stand-alone Fee Study. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before December 31, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Participation 

Interested persons are invited to 

participate in this rulemaking by 

submitting written data, views, or 

arguments on the Fee Study. Only 

comments on the Fee Study will be 

considered. Comments that will provide 

the most assistance to CBP will 

reference a specific portion of the Fee 

Study, explain the reason for any 

recommended change, and include data, 

information, or authority that support 

such recommended change. 

Background 

CBP operates several voluntary 

trusted traveler programs at land, sea 

and air ports of entry into the United 

States that allow certain pre-approved 

travelers dedicated processing into the 

United States, including the Secure 

Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid 

Inspection (SENTRI) program, the 

Global Entry program, and the NEXUS 

program. As part of an effort to 

harmonize the fees and application 

procedures for these programs, CBP 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) titled 

‘‘Harmonization of the Fees and 

Application Procedures for the Global 

Entry and SENTRI Programs and Other 

Changes’’ in the Federal Register (85 FR 

55597) on September 9, 2020. The 

NPRM proposes to change the Global 

Entry and SENTRI application fees to a 

uniform amount, provide a uniform 

standard regarding the payment of the 

Global Entry and SENTRI application 

fees for minors, change the fee payment 

schedule and certain aspects of the 

application process for the SENTRI 

program, and incorporate the SENTRI 

program into the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) regulations. 

CBP will be issuing a separate Federal 

Register notice regarding changes to the 

NEXUS fee. 

Fee Study 

As part of the development of the 

NPRM, CBP performed a fee study 

entitled CBP Trusted Traveler Programs 

Fee Study (Fee Study) to determine the 

amount of the fee that is necessary to 

recover the costs associated with 

application processing for the Global 

Entry, SENTRI, and NEXUS programs. 

In the NPRM and Fee Study, CBP 

concluded that a uniform $120 fee is 

appropriate and necessary to recover a 

reasonable portion of costs associated 

with application processing for these 

three CBP trusted traveler programs. 

The NPRM summarizes the Fee Study, 

seeks comments on its conclusion, and 

states that the full Fee Study can be 

found in the docket of the rulemaking. 

However, CBP inadvertently failed to 

post the Fee Study to the docket at the 

time the NPRM was published. CBP has 

now posted the Fee Study to the docket 

at https://www.regulations.gov under 

docket number USCBP–2020–0035 and 

is re-opening the comment period to 

allow for comments to be submitted on 

that Fee Study. Comments must be 

received on or before December 31, 

2020. CBP will not accept comments on 

any topic other than the Fee Study. 

Correction of RIN 

In the NPRM document, FR Doc. 

2020–16369, beginning on page 55597 

in the issue of September 9, 2020 (85 FR 

55597), make the following correction in 

the first column: 

Remove in the heading of the 

document ‘‘RIN 1651–AB94’’ and add in 

its place ‘‘RIN 1651–AB34.’’
