Title: Small Vessel Reporting System 

OMB Number: 1651–0137 

Abstract: The Small Vessel Reporting 

System (SVRS) is a pilot program that 

allows certain participants using small 

pleasure boats to report their arrival 

telephonically instead of having to 

appear in person for inspection by a 

CBP officer each time they enter the 

United States. In some cases, a 

participant may also be asked to report 

to CBP for an in person inspection upon 

arrival. Participants may be U.S. 

citizens, U.S. lawful permanent 

residents, Canadian citizens, and 

permanent residents of Canada who are 

nationals of Visa Waiver Program 

countries listed in 8 CFR 217.2(a). In 

addition, participants of one or more 

Trusted Traveler programs and current 

Canadian Border Boater Landing Permit 

(CBP Form I–68) holders may 

participate in SVRS. 

In order to register for the SVRS pilot 

program, participants enter data via the 

SVRS Web site, which collects 

information such as biographical 

information and vessel information. 

Participants will go through the in 

person CBP inspection process during 

SVRS registration, and in some cases, 

upon arrival in the United States. 

For each voyage, SVRS participants 

will be required to submit a float plan 

about their voyage via the SVRS Web 

site in advance of arrival in the United 

States. The float plan includes vessel 

information, a listing of all persons on 

board, estimated dates and times of 

departure and return, and information 

on the locations to be visited on the trip. 

Participants in SVRS can create a float 

plan for an individual voyage or a 

template for a float plan that can be 

used multiple times. 

SVRS is authorized by 8 U.S.C. 1103, 

8 U.S.C. 1225, 8 U.S.C. 1365b, 8 CFR 

235.1, 19 U.S.C. 1433, 19 U.S.C. 1498, 

and 19 CFR 4.2. The SVRS Web site is 

accessible at: https://svrs.cbp.dhs.gov/.
