be collected; and

who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological techniques or other

Title: Trusted Traveler Programs (Global Entry, SENTRI and FAST).
OMB Number: 1651-0121.
Form Numbers: 823S (SENTRI) and 823F (FAST).
Abstract: This collection of information is for CBP's Trusted
Traveler Programs including the Secure Electronic Network for Travelers
Rapid Inspection (SENTRI), which allows expedited entry at specified
southwest land border ports of entry; the Free and Secure Trade Program
(FAST), which provides expedited border processing for known, low-risk
commercial drivers; and Global Entry which allows pre-approved, low-
risk, air travelers expedited clearance upon arrival into the United
States. The purpose of all of these programs is to provide prescreened
travelers expedited entry into the United States. The benefit to the
traveler is less time spent in line waiting to be processed. These
Trusted Traveler programs are provided for in 8 CFR 235.7.
This collection of information involves the data collected on the
applications and kiosks for these Trusted Traveler Programs. Applicants
may apply to participate in these programs by using the Global On-line
Enrollment System (GOES) at https://goes-app.cbp.dhs.gov. Or they may
also apply for SENTRI and FAST using paper forms (CBP Form 823S for
SENTRI and CBP Form 823F for FAST) available at http://www.cbp.gov or
at Trusted Traveler Enrollment Centers.
After arriving at the Federal Inspection Services area of the
airport, participants use a self-serve inspection process, in lieu of
inspection by an officer, by going to a Global Entry kiosk to have a
photograph and fingerprints taken, submit identifying information, and
to answer several questions about items they are bringing into the
United States. When using the Global Entry kiosks, participants are
required to declare all articles being brought into the United States
pursuant to 19 CFR 148.11.
Current Actions: This submission is being made to extend the
expiration date and to revise the burden hours as a result of updated
estimates of the number of applicants for Global Entry and SENTRI. The
burden hours were also adjusted to reflect a revised estimated time to
complete the Global Entry application. The burden hours also reflect an
increase in the number of respondents using the Global Entry kiosks and
a decrease in the estimate of time it takes to use the kiosks.
There is no change to the information being collected on the
Trusted Traveler forms, the Global On-line Enrollment System (GOES) or
on the Global Entry kiosks.
Type of Review: Extension with a change to the burden hours.
Affected Public: Individuals and Businesses.
