ACTION: Request OMB Emergency

Approval; Application—Checkpoint

Pre-enrolled Access Lane.

The Department of Justice,

Immigration and Naturalization Service

(Service) has submitted the following

information collection request (ICR)

utilizing emergency review procedures,

to the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) for review and clearance in

accordance with the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995. The necessity for

emergency review and implementation

of this information collection is as

follows: Congress has made continued

funding for the Border patrol

checkpoints at San Clemente and

Temecula, California, contingent on

establishing a commuter facilitation

project at the San Clemente checkpoint

(See pub. L. 104–134). Compliance with

normal OMB review procedures could

force the Service to violate an express

congressional mandate and lose funding

for the checkpoints. Congress mandates

the Checkpoint Pre-enrolled Access

Lane program’s enrollment process be

implemented by April 1, 1997 and the

commuter lane be operational by June

30, 1997. Therefore, the Service is

requesting OMB emergency review and
