This rule proposes to implement section 402 of the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-173), which requires the submission of arrival and departure manifests electronically in advance of an aircraft or vessel's arrival in or departure from the United States. This rule also proposes to require manifest data on certain passengers and voyages previously exempt from this requirement. This rule is necessary to provide the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) with advance notification of information necessary for the identification of passengers, crewmembers and any other occupant transported. This information will assist in the efficient inspection of passengers and crewmembers, and is necessary for the effective enforcement of the immigration laws.
