US-bound travelers face additional checks: Border Patrol pushes new rules

The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is proposing to expand existing advance data requirements for travelers on commercial flights to and from the US, reports HSToday.

CBP has published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that would require commercial air carriers to participate in the Document Verification Program (DocVal). In accordance with DocVal, the CBP system automatically checks the passenger details provided by the carrier to ensure the details are accurate and the traveler's document is valid for the trip.

Currently, DocVal operates on a voluntary basis and provides airlines with additional efficiency by verifying passenger documents during the check-in process. Travelers who provide complete and accurate information are checked in real time.

The process goes unnoticed. If the document information provided is not valid, DocVal will notify the carrier of the error so that problems with travel documents can be corrected at the first possible stage of the trip.

Travelers also often provide phone number and email information to the government as part of an electronic travel authorization system (ESTA Authorization). They also usually provide their airline's phone and email information for security purposes. Airlines have begun providing telephone and email information to CBP through the Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) on a voluntary basis in December 2020.

The program currently has 80 airlines and over 200 travelers per day. Because this program has received strong support from the industry and passengers who are not heavily affected by these requirements, CBP has included regulatory-supported requirements for airlines to share phone number and email as part of this NPRM.

CBP's proposal will allow it to identify threats earlier in the process, making it even more difficult for travelers with invalid documents to be issued a boarding pass. This will improve passenger safety and make international travel easier.
