OMB Number: 1651–0111. 

Form Numbers: I–94 and I–94W. 

Abstract:

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 236 / Tuesday, December 9, 2014 / Notices 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-i94-arrivaldeparture-record and http://

www.cbp.gov/document/forms/form-i94w-visa-waiver-arrivaldeparturerecord. 

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 .................................. Other Names or Aliases .......................................................................................................... Mandatory. 

2 .................................. Other Country of Citizenship ................................................................................................... Mandatory. 

3 .................................. If yes, passport number on additional citizenship passport .................................................... Optional 

4 .................................. Home Address ......................................................................................................................... Mandatory. 

5 .................................. Parents ..................................................................................................................................... Mandatory. 

6 .................................. Current or Previous Job Title ................................................................................................... Optional 

7 .................................. Current or Previous Employer Name ...................................................................................... Mandatory. 

8 .................................. Current or Previous Employer Address ................................................................................... Mandatory. 

9 .................................. Current or Previous Employer Telephone number .................................................................. Optional 

10 ................................ Primary Email ........................................................................................................................... Mandatory—was optional. 

11 ................................ Primary Telephone Number ..................................................................................................... Mandatory—was optional. 

12 ................................ U.S. Point of Contact Name .................................................................................................... Mandatory. 

13 ................................ U.S. Point of Contact Address ................................................................................................. Mandatory. 

14 ................................ U.S. Point of Contact Email ..................................................................................................... Mandatory. 

15 ................................ U.S. Point of Contact Phone ................................................................................................... Mandatory. 

16 ................................ City of Birth .............................................................................................................................. Mandatory. 

17 ................................ National Identification Number ................................................................................................. Mandatory. 

18 ................................ Emergency Point of Contact Information Name ...................................................................... Mandatory. 

19 ................................ Emergency Point of Contact Information Email ...................................................................... Mandatory. 

20 ................................ Emergency Point of Contact Information Phone ..................................................................... Mandatory. 

22 ................................ Do you have a current or previous employer? ........................................................................ Mandatory. 

21 ................................ Is your travel to the U.S. occurring in transit to another country? .......................................... Mandatory. 

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

disorder; or are you a drug abuser or 

addict; or currently have any of the 

following diseases: 

• Chancroid 

• Gonorrhea 

• Granuloma inguinale 

• Leprosy, infectious 

• Lymphogranuloma venereum 

• Syphilis, infectious 

• Active Tuberculosis 

Proposed New Question 

Do you have a physical or mental 

disorder; or are you a drug abuser or 

addict; or do you currently have any of 

the following diseases (communicable 

diseases are specified pursuant to 

section 361(b) of the Public Health 

Service Act): 

• Cholera 

• Diphtheria 

• Tuberculosis, infectious 

• Plague 

• Smallpox 

• Yellow Fever 

• Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers, 

including Ebola, Lassa, Marburg, 

Crimean-Congo 

• Severe acute respiratory illnesses 

capable of transmission to other persons 

and likely to cause mortality. 

Current Actions: This submission is 

being made to extend the expiration 

date with a change to the burden hours 

based on updated estimates of the 

numbers of respondents. Specifically, 

the number of respondents for the I–94 

Web site was decreased by 1,188,899 

from 5,047,681 to 3,858,782; the number 

of respondents for the ESTA burden was 

increased by 870,000 from 22,090,000 to 

22,960,000; and the number of 

respondents paying the ESTA fee was 

increased by 707,000 from 18,183,000 to 

18,890,000.

Title: Application to Use the 

Automated Commercial Environment 

(ACE). 

OMB Number: 1651–0105. 

Abstract: The Automated Commercial 

Environment (ACE) is a trade processing 

system that will eventually replace the 

Automated Commercial System (ACS), 

the current import system for U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

operations. ACE is authorized by 

Executive Order 13659 which mandates 

implementation of a Single Window for 

trade. See 79 FR 10655 (February 25, 

2014). ACE supports government 

agencies and the trade community with 

border-related missions with respect to 

moving goods across the border 

efficiently and securely. Once ACE is 

fully implemented, all related CBP trade 

functions and the trade community will 

be supported from a single common 

user interface. 

Currently, ACE is used for imported 

merchandise by brokers, carriers, 

sureties, service providers, facility 

operators, foreign trade zone operators, 

cart men and lighter men. In order to 

establish an ACE Portal account, 

participants submit information such as 

their name, their employer 

identification number (EIN) or social 

security number, and if applicable, a 

statement certifying their capability to 

connect to the Internet. This 

information is submitted through the 

ACE Secure Data Portal which is 

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

automated. 

CBP is proposing to add export 

functionality to the system which will 

allow participation from the exporter 

community. Trade members wishing to 

establish an exporter account will need 

to submit the following data elements: 

1. Account Type 

a. ACE Portal Account User ID (if 

applicable) 

b. USPPI (yes/no) 

c. Authorized Agent (yes/no) 

d. Freight Forwarder (yes/no) 

FMC License No (if applicable) 

2. Company Information 

a. EIN 

b. DUNS 

c. Company Name 

d. Company Address 

3. ACE Export Account Owner Information 

a. Name 

b. Date of Birth 

c. Telephone Number 

d. Fax Number 

e. Email 

f. Account Owner address if different from 

Company Address
