cated in the travel report.

registered sex offender is traveling from the 
United States and the Center has reason to be-
lieve that the transmission of the notice poses
a risk to the life or well-being of the high inter-

warn, in the written communication provided to 
the high interest registered sex offender, of 
such risk if the high interest registered sex of-
fender travels as intended. 
(d) REPORT TO CONGRESS.—Upon the issuance of 
the Center Sex Offender Travel Guidelines under sub-
