                     1651-0111. *Form Numbers:*
                     I-94 and I-94W. Abstract:
                    ( print page 73097) Background CBP Forms I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record) and I-94W (Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver Arrival/Departure Record) are used to document a traveler's admission into the United States. These forms are filled out by aliens and are used to collect information on citizenship, residency, and contact information. The data elements collected on these forms enable the DHS to perform its mission related to the screening of alien visitors for potential risks to national security, and the determination of admissibility to the United States. The Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) applies to aliens traveling to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and requires that VWP travelers provide information electronically to CBP before embarking on travel to the United States. Travelers who are entering under the VWP in the air or sea environment, and who have a travel authorization obtained through ESTA, are not required to complete the paper Form I-94W. Pursuant to an interim final rule published on March 27, 2013 in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     (78 FR 18457) related to Form I-94, CBP has partially automated the Form I-94 process. CBP now gathers data previously collected on the paper Form I-94 from existing automated sources in lieu of requiring passengers arriving by air or sea to submit a paper I-94 upon arrival. Passengers can access and print their electronic I-94 via the Web site at 
                    *www.cbp.gov/​I94.* ESTA can be accessed at 
                    *http://www.cbp.gov/​xp/​cgov/​travel/​id_​visa/​esta/​*. Samples of CBP Forms I-94 and I-94W can be viewed at: 
                    *http://www.cbp.gov/​document/​forms/​form-i-94-arrivaldeparture-record*
                     and http://www.cbp.gov/​document/​forms/​form-i-94w-visa-waiver-arrivaldeparture-record. Recent and Proposed Changes In response to the increasing concerns regarding national security, DHS used the emergency Paperwork Reduction Act process to strengthen the security of the VWP by adding data elements to ESTA and to Form I-94W. DHS determined that the addition of these new data elements improves the Department's ability to screen prospective VWP travelers while more accurately and effectively identifying those who pose a security risk to the United States and facilitates adjudication of ESTA applications. The following data elements are either new elements that were approved in the emergency PRA submission or data elements that were collected previously that were changed from “optional” to “mandatory” on the ESTA application: 1

 For the following “mandatory” fields ESTA applicants are permitted to enter “unknown,” if they do not have or know the information, without impeding the submission of their ESTA application: City of Birth, Parents, National Identification Number, Emergency Contact Information, U.S. Point of Contact information, and Employer Address. Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 264(b) and Executive Order 13295, as amended on July 31, 2014, CBP proposes to revise the question on quarantinable communicable diseases as follows: Currently Approved Question Do you have a physical or mental disorder; or are you a drug abuser or addict; or currently have any of the following diseases: Chancroid
