SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 18, 2024, the Department 

of Homeland Security (DHS), through 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP), published an interim final rule 

(IFR) in the Federal Register (89 FR 

3299) with an effective date of 

September 30, 2024. The IFR, 

promulgated in consultation with the 

Secretary of the Interior and the 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 3 / Monday, January 6, 2025 / Notices 659 

Secretary of State, amended DHS 

regulations to establish an electronic 

travel authorization process for 

individuals traveling to Guam or the 

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 

Islands (CNMI) under the Guam-CNMI 

Visa Waiver Program (G–CNMI VWP). 

See § 212.1(q)(9) of title 8 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (8 CFR 

212.1(q)(9)). The IFR also amended DHS 

regulations to establish the CNMI 

Economic Vitality & Security Travel 

Authorization Program (EVS–TAP) that 

also includes an electronic travel 

authorization process for certain 

nationals of the People’s Republic of 

China (PRC) traveling to the CNMI only. 

See 8 CFR 212.1(r). As detailed in the 

IFR, to fully integrate the two automated 

systems in an efficient and cost-effective 

manner, DHS would implement the 

CNMI EVS–TAP after the system for G– 

CNMI VWP automation became fully 

operational. 89 FR at 3303, 3310. The 

IFR explained that when DHS was ready 

to fully implement CNMI EVS–TAP, 

DHS would provide notification in the 

Federal Register, and the CNMI EVS– 

TAP would be implemented 45 days 

after publication as set forth in 8 CFR 

212.1(r)(11). Id. 

Implementation of CNMI EVS–TAP 

Although the IFR was effective on 

September 30, 2024, DHS incorporated 

a 60-day transition period to facilitate 

travelers adjusting to the new collection 

method. See 8 CFR 212.1(q)(9)(i). This 

60-day transition period ended on 

November 29, 2024, and the system for 

G–CNMI VWP automation is fully 

operational. Accordingly, carriers must 

now deny boarding to travelers without 

a visa or without an approved electronic 

travel authorization. See 8 CFR 

212.1(q)(5)(iv). 

DHS is now ready to implement 

CNMI EVS–TAP. Pursuant to 8 CFR 

212.1(r)(11), this document provides 

notification that CBP is implementing 

the requirements of CNMI EVS–TAP set 

forth in 8 CFR 212.1(r) for certain PRC 

nationals as of February 20, 2024. At 

that time, eligible nationals from the 

PRC seeking to travel to the CNMI only 

for a period not to exceed 14 days 

without a visa under the CNMI EVS– 

TAP will be required to obtain an 

electronic travel authorization from CBP 

prior to embarking on such travel. See 

8 CFR 212.1(r). Concurrently, the 

current parole policy for PRC nationals 

seeking to enter the CNMI will be 

discontinued on February 20, 2024.
