SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CBP 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to comment on the 

proposed and/or continuing information

day comment period. This notice allows 

for an additional 30 days for public

four points: (1) Whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

suggestions to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) suggestions to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. The 

comments that are submitted will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for approval. All comments will become 

a matter of public record. 

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

Title: Electronic Visa Update System 

(EVUS). 

OMB Number: 1651–0139. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Current Actions: Revision of an 

existing information collection with no 

change in burden. 

Type of Review: Revision. 

Affected Public: Individuals. 

Abstract: DHS developed the 

Electronic Visa Update System (EVUS) 

to assure robust screening of foreign 

nationals prior to travel to the United 

States. EVUS provides for robust 

traveler screening and verification to 

better identify foreign nationals who 

may be inadmissible to the United 

States. This results in enhanced national 

security, improved public safety, and a 

reduced number of delays upon arrival 

in the United States, all while 

facilitating legitimate travel. 

Initially, the program is limited to 

nonimmigrant aliens presenting 

passports issued by the People’s 

Republic of China (PRC) containing 

unrestricted, maximum validity B–1 

(business visitor), B–2 (visitor for 

pleasure), or combination B–1/B–2 

visas, generally valid for 10 years. PRC 

membership in EVUS became possible 

on November 12, 2014, when, in a 

reciprocal agreement, the U.S. 

Department of State expanded the 

validity of U.S. visitor visas issued to 

PRC nationals from one to ten years. 

To ensure compliance with the Visa 

Waiver Program Improvement and 

Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015, 

Pub. L. 114–113, 129 Stat. 2242, CBP 

will continuously update the 

application question with the list of 

nationals ineligible to travel to the 

United States under the VWP, as 

designated in accordance with section 

217(a)(12) of the Immigration and 

Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 

1187(a)(12)). 

Recent Changes: On May 31, 2019, the 

Department of State updated its 

immigrant and nonimmigrant visa 

application forms to request additional 

information, specifically social media 

identifiers, from most U.S. visa 

applicants worldwide. As a result, DHS 

is changing the EVUS application social 

media data field from optional to 

mandatory. National security is the top 

priority when adjudicating EVUS 

applications, and every prospective 

traveler to the United States undergoes 

extensive security screening. CBP is 

continually working to find mechanisms 

to improve our screening processes to 

protect U.S. visitors while supporting 

legitimate travel to the United States. 

DHS already requests information on 

contacts, travel history, and family 

members from all EVUS applicants. 

Changing the social medial field to 

mandatory in the EVUS application will 

enhance our vetting capabilities and 

assist in confirming applicants’ 

identities. While the field is mandatory, 

applicants will still have the ability to 

select ‘‘none’’.

3,595,904.

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Number of Total Annual

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

Title: Application for Foreign-Trade 

Zone Admission and/or Status 

Designation, and Application for 

Foreign-Trade Zone Activity Permit. 

OMB Number: 1651–0029. 

Form Number: 214, 214A, 214B, 

214C, and 216. 

Current Actions: Extension without 

change of an existing information 

collection. 

Type of Review: Extension (without 

change). 

Affected Public: Businesses. 

Abstract: Foreign trade zones (FTZs) 

are geographical enclaves located within 

the geographical limits of the United 

States but for tariff purposes are 

considered to be outside the United 

States. Imported merchandise may be 

brought into FTZs for storage, 

manipulation, manufacture, or other 

processing and subsequent removal for 

exportation, consumption in the United 

States, or destruction. A company 

bringing goods into an FTZ has a choice 

of zone status (privileged/nonprivileged foreign, domestic, or zonerestricted), which affects the way such 

goods are treated by Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) and treated for 

tariff purposes upon entry into the 

customs territory of the United States. 

CBP Forms 214, 214A, 214B, and 

214C, which make up the Application 

for Foreign-Trade Zone Admission and/ 

or Status Designation, are used by 

companies that bring merchandise, 

except in certain circumstances 

including, but not limited to, domestic 

status merchandise, into an FTZ to 

register the admission of such 

merchandise into FTZs and to apply for 

the appropriate zone status. Form 214A 

is not filled out separately by 

respondents; it is simply a copy of Form 

214 that CBP gives to the Census 

Bureau. Form 214B is a continuation 

sheet for Form 214 that respondents use 

when they need more room to add line 

items to the form. Form 214C is a 

continuation sheet for Form 214A that 

respondents use when they need more 

room to add line items to the form. 

CBP Form 216, Foreign-Trade Zone 

Activity Permit, is used by companies to 

request approval to manipulate, 

manufacture, exhibit, or destroy 

merchandise in an FTZ. 

These FTZ forms are authorized by 19 

U.S.C. 81 and provided for by 19 CFR 

146.22, 146.32, 146.35, 146.36, 146.37, 

146.39, 146.40, 146.41, 146.44, 146.52, 

146.53, and 146.66. These forms are 

accessible at: http://www.cbp.gov/ 

newsroom/publications/forms. 

This collection of information applies 

to the importing and trade community 

who are familiar with import 

procedures and with CBP regulations.
