Title: Passenger and Crew Manifest (Advance Passenger Information
System)
OMB Number: 1651-0088
Form Number: None
Abstract: The Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) is an
automated method in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
receives information about passengers and crew onboard inbound and
outbound international flights before their arrival in or departure
from the United States. APIS data includes biographical information for
international air passengers arriving in or departing from the United
States, allowing the data to be checked against CBP databases. The
information is submitted for both commercial and private aircraft
flights.
APIS is authorized under the Aviation and Transportation Security
Act, Public Law 107-71. Under this statute, air carriers operating a
passenger flight in foreign air transportation to the United States

that DHS determines is reasonably necessary to ensure aviation safety.
The specific passenger and crew identifying information required by
statue consists of the following: Full name; date of birth; gender;
citizenship; document type; passport number; country of issuance and
expiration date; and alien registration number where applicable. The
APIS regulatory requirements are specified in 19 CFR 122.49a, 122.49b,
122.49c, 122.75a, 122.75b, and 122.22. These provisions lists all the
required APIS data.
Respondents submit their electronic manifest either through a
direct interface with CBP, or using eAPIS which is a web-based system
that can be accessed at https://eapis.cbp.dhs.gov/.
