Appendix 15-2
Validity of Certain Foreign Passports (Six-month
list)
Revised March 22,2000 (INOO-16)
Under the provisions of section 212(a)(7)(B)(i)(I)) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, a nonimmigrant
alien who makes application for a visa or for admission into the United States is required to be in possession
of a passport which is valid for a minimum period of six months from the date of expiration of the initial period
of his admission into the United States or his contemplated initial period of stay authorizing him to return to
the country from which he came or proceed to and enter some other country during such period. By reason of
the foregoing requirement, certain foreign governments have entered into agreements with the Government of
the United States whereby their passports are recognized as valid for the return of the bearer to the country of
the foreign-issuing authority for a period of six months beyond the expiration date specified in the passport.
These arrangements have the effect of extending the validity period of the foreign passport an additional six
months notwithstanding the expiration date indicated in the passport.

Validity of Certain Nonimmigrant Visas

Notice is hereby given that consular officers are authorized to issue, in their discretion, nonimmigrant visas

under section 101 (a)(15)(8) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (temporary visitors for business or
pleasure) valid for an indefinite period of time to otherwise eligible nationals of the countries listed below,
which offer reciprocal or more liberal treatment to nationals of the United States who are in a similar class.
This order, which adds several countries to the list and incorporates recent amendments, will be amended
from time to time to include other countries which accord similar privileges to United States citizens. The
asterisks identify those countries which have been added with this Notice.
In addition, because of recent changes in the treatment of U.S. nationals in certain nonimmigrant classes,
Suriname, formerly Surinam, has been deleted from that list under the provisions of section 101 (a)(15)(8), in
order to accord its nationals the same reciprocal treatment currently accorded U.S. nationals. Note: Effective
May 5,1997, the maximum period of nonimmigrant visa validity is limited to ten years.

Appendix 15-9:
Standard Operating Procedures for Aliens
Subject to Special Registration, Also Known as the National Security
Entry Exit Registration System (NSEERS).
The NSEERS system has replaced the previous special interest alien procedures that applied to certain nonimmigrants from Iran, Iraq,
Libya and Sudan. While this SOP does not enumerate the countries whose nationals and citizens will be subject to special registration,
or NSEERS, it does specify the procedures for secondary processing of those who are subject to special registration. These procedures
proced ures
became effective on September 11, 2002. Please refer to parts (a)(l), (a)(2) and (a)(3) of this SOP for a discussion on identification of
the population that will be subject to NSEERS registration. The information contained in this SOP applies to other programs in addition
to Inspections. The regulatory authority for this program can be found at 8 CFR 264.1(f).

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

(a)

~~E...
~J:\E...

Inspections.

(1) Persons Subject to NSEERS Registration Procedures. Except as provided in paragraphs (a)(2) and (a)(3), aliens subject to special
registration are:

•

Those who meet pre-existing, or established criteria determined by the Attorney General, now Secretary of Homeland Security (to
be published via a separate policy memorandum) to indicate that the alien warrants monitoring for national security of law
enforcement interests.

•

Those who a consular officer has determined meet pre-existing criteria as determined by the Secretary of State and are identified
through the Interagency Border Inspection System (IBIS).

•

Those who are identified as being citizens or nationals of a country designated by the Attorney General, now Secretary of
Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State, and published in the Federal Register (FR).
In addition, with the concurrence of the supervisor or acting supervisor, an officer may exercise discretion

registration is warranted for national security or law enforcement purposes. For more information and
discretionary registration please refer to part (a)(4)(F) of this SOP.

(Note: The pre-existing criteria still in effect to date was established by the Attorney General. The powers of the Attorney General,
regarding NSEERS are now vested in the Secretary of Homeland Security. However, the Secretary did not amend the criteria
previously issued by the Attorney General. References to the Attorney General are being changed to Secretary of Homeland Security in
this document.)

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

Aliens subject to domestic, or call-in registration are identified by publication of a notice in the Federal Register (FR). Each notice
outlines who is subject to the notice in the "Scope" section. Furthermore, each notice also incl
includes
udes an "Inapplicability" section, which
articulates those aliens who are not subject to the notice. However, officers should be aware that domestic, or call-in registration
notices are subject to change and each notice must be read in order to determine who is and who is not subject to a particular notice.
Therefore, aliens who are subject domestic, or call-in registration are not necessarily subject to registration upon arrival to the United
States, unless such an alien also meets the identification criteria cited in the policy memorandum, as amended on September 30,
2002.
Federal Register Notice 63 FR 39109, titled "Requirement for Registration and Fingerprinting of Certain Nonimmigrants", published July
21, 1998, stating that nonimmigrants (other than those who apply for admission under section 101(a)(15)(A) or 101(a)(15)(G) of the
Act) from Iran, Iraq, Libya and Sudan are subject to the requirements
req uirements of 8 CFR 264.1(f). The 1998 notice was, in effect, superseded
by the publication of the Federal Register Final Regulation 67 FR 52584, titled "Registration and Monitoring of Certain Nonimmigrants",
published August 12, 2002. Federal Register Notice 67 FR 57032, titled "Registration and Monitoring of Certain Nonimmigrants From
Designated Countries", published September 6, 2002 added Syria to the list of designated countries.
In any case, many special registrants will be identified through application of the established criteria. For this reason, it is imperative
that all officers conducting immigration inspections be familiar with and understand the pre-existing criteria and the pertinent Federal
Register notices. All officers conducting immigration inspections must refer identified special registrants to immigration secondary for
processing.

(G) Dual Nationality. Federal Register Final Regulation, 67 FR 52584, published August 12, 2002 amended the language regarding dual
nationals. The current policy and regulation cite that if the officer has "reason to believe" that a nonimmigrant alien is a national or a
citizen of a country designated by the Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the alien SHALL be specially
registered.
However, clarification is needed for the inspecting officer to determine what constitutes a "reason to believe" that a nonimmigrant alien
is a national or a citizen of a country designated in the FR. If the officer does not have a clear and articulable reason to believe, the
nonimmigrant should not be specially registered.
The supplemental information included with the August 12, 2002 publication of the final regulation enumerates that the officer must
have information that indicates an alien is, in fact, a national or citizen of a designated country. This information must be based on
articulable facts or evidence that would indicate that the nonimmigrant is presently a citizen or national of one of the designated
countries. The fact that a nonimmigrant alien is born in a country designated in the FR does not, in and of itself, constitute a reason to
believe that the alien is a citizen or national of that country.
Some examples of facts that can be articulated in support of a reason to believe that a nonimmigrant alien is a dual national may

sorne concern is the repeated admission of prior registrants who have not complied with
Returning NSEERS Violators. Another issue that has been of some
the departure registration requirement. As a reminder, registrants who fail (without good cause) to be examined upon departure shall thereafter
be presumed inadmissible under, but not limited to, 212(a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act. Officers and their supervisors, as always, have the authority to
take and consider evidence that the registrant had good cause for not being able to comply. However, the concern is repeated departures
without re istration. Good cause will alwa s be a case-b -case determination b the officer throu h the a ro riate chain-of-command. (b)(2),

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

(b)(7)

If the registrant is unable to establish good cause for past failure to register departure, then the registrant must be able to successfully rebut the
(E)
legal presumption that his future trip will be to engage in unlawful activity in order not to be found inadmissible pursuant to section 212(a)(3)(A)
(ii) of the Act. Like the good cause analysis, a determination of whether the registrant has met his burden of proof in this regard should be made
by the officer through the appropriate chain-of-command. The determination of whether the registrant has rebutted the presumption of
unlawfulness should examine all factors surrounding the registrant's prior and return trip to the United States, including, but not limited to, (b)(2),

8RQlicants for Admission NOT Departing from an Authorized POD. When an alien who is subject to NSEERS registration applies for admission and
his or her departure arrangements show that he or she will not depart from an authorized POD, that alien is inadmissible. Pursuant to 8 CFR
214.1(f), as amended on August 12, 2002, compliance with the registration requirements of 8 CFR 264.1 (f) is a condition of admission. This
circumstance is addressed in part (a)(6) of this SOP. However, if otherwise admissible and prior to admission, such an alien should be given the
option to change his or her arrangement to depart through an authorized POD. In addition, where otherwise admissible and where an officer is
satisfied of the alien's bona fide intent, the inspecting officer could admit the alien without a change of departure arrangements if the alien

Special registration does not necessarily bear on the duration of the nonimmigrant alien's period of admission. Therefore, unless other
information is discovered that might otherwise limit the duration of admission (such as a Form 1-515, Notice to Student or Exchange
Visitor, for a student), special registrants should be admitted for the appropriate period of time for their class of admission.
Nonimmigrant aliens who have not complied with the terms of a previous special registration, by not having their departure recorded
by CBP if it was required (departure provisions become effective October 1, 2002), may be presumed inadmissible pursuant (but not
limited) to section 212(a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act. Officers should carefully consider the totality of circumstances before applying this
ground of inadmissibility. To apply this particular ground of inadmissibility, the officer must know, or have reason to believe, that the
alien seeks to enter the United States to engage in unlawful activity. The 212(a)(3)(A)(ii) charge does not fall into the security grounds
removal procedures cited in section 235(c) of the Act. Inspecting officers may take and consider any evidence that an alien complied
with the terms of his or her previous admission and registration or that failure to do so was beyond his or her control. For example,

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

(B) lDi'ldmissible Aliens. As noted in part (a)(2) of this SOP, NSEERS registration applies to aliens who apply for admission as
nonlmmigrants. During secondary inspection, while the alien is applying for admission as a nonimmigrant, special registration
Information will be captured on aliens who meet the criteria for special registration, before it is officially determined that they are
admissible.
Whether an inadmissible alien is being processed under Expedited Removal (ER) (including credible fear), Visa Waiver Refusal,
Withdrawal of Application for Admission, Security Grounds Removal under section 235(c) of the Act, or Removal Proceedings under
section 240 of the Act, process the alien using the established removal procedures for these cases. Refer to chapter 17 of the IFM for

more information on these processes. However, as stated above, the potentially inadmissible alien (including a crewman who may be
refused) will be fingerprinted and photographed and asked to provide the special registration data prior to the determination of his or
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

(E) Advisory Materials. In order for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to expect that registered aliens comply with the terms of
special registration, or NSEERS registration, it is critical that the registering officer explain those requirements to each registrant
during the service of the walk-away materials. Walk-away materials can be printed from the following web-site:
http://www.immigration.gov/graphics/shared/lawenfor/specialreg/index.htm
-ORhttp://161. 214.87. 31/graphics/shared/lawenfor/specialreg/sri ndivid uals. pdf
Part of the CBP's ability to demonstrate that a registrant should have complied with the departure requirements, as well as every other
registration requirement, is that each registrant is given a set of walk-away materials before departing the POE, or other office in the
case of a call-in registration. It is imperative that each registrant be served with a set of walk-away materials, and that the information
provided in the walk-away materials be explained to the registrant. Additionally, it is important that the registrant understands the
content of the materials and that the registrant's (b)(2), (b)(7)(E) record is marked accordingly, or if the registration is being captured under
the back-up procedure, this information is captured on the Form 1-877. It is also imperative that the registration information, whether
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
ca
~ or as part of the back-up procedure, is collected under oath and that the registrant's record is so marked either
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
in _ _ of on the Form 1-877. These two critical pieces of data could be the first step in a criminal or administrative case, where
the burden of proof will be on the U.S. Government. Therefore, it is mandatory that each registrant is given walk-away materials, that
his or her registration information is collected under oath, and that the registrant's record indicates both of these facts. Finally, it is
essential to document the language used during the registration process. Until such time as a system update provides specific fields to
capture this information, each record should reflect the language of the interview, whether an interpreter was used, and the language
of both the walk-away materials and the walk-away fact sheet in the comments screen.
The walk-away materials advise the alien of the following requirements:
To notify the U.S. Government of any change of address, school or employment if the alien is staying 30 days or more, within 10
days of such a change.
To report to the BCIS or ICE office having jurisdiction over his or her place of temporary residence for an interview between the
thirtieth and fortieth days of his or her stay if the alien remains in the United States for 30 days or more. During that
interview the alien will be required to demonstrate that he or she is maintaining their nonimmigrant status. Failure to appear
for interview will constitute a violation of his or her nonimmigrant status and may result in his or her removal.
•

Annually thereafter (on the anniversary of his arrival), similar to the 30 day interview, the alien must report to the BCIS or ICE
office having jurisdiction over his or her temporary residence if the alien remains in the United States that long. Failure to
appear for interview will constitute a violation of his or her nonimmigrant status, and may result in removal from the United
States.
Beginning on October 1, 2002, report to CBP prior to departing the United States to enable the agency to verify his or her
departure. He or she will be told where to report, and what ports of departure are available to him or her. Failure to have his
or her departure verified, or to meet other registration requirements, could render the alien inadmissible in the future or could
preclude him or her from obtaining a visa.

The l/E screen will have a block for the officer to certify that the walk-away materials have been provided to the alien.
(6) Required Participation. Pursuant to 8 CFR 214.1(f), the admission of a nonimmigrant who is subject to special registration is
contingent upon compliance with the requirements of 8 CFR 264.1(f). Upon application for admission, aliens who are subject to special

registration and who refuse to comply with the requirements of the registration process are effectively stating that they do not intend
to comply with the terms of admission that they are seeking. Therefore, such aliens are inadmissible under section 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I)
or (6)(i)(I1)
(B)(i)(Il) of the Act, as appropriate (if failure to comply with the terms of special registration is the only basis for the alien's
inadmissibility). Such an alien is either not a bona fide nonimmigrant as defined in section 101(a)(15) of the Act, or not in possession
of the appropriate nonimmigrant visa for the intent of his or her trip. They will be subject to Expedited Removal (ER), but should be
allowed to withdraw their application for admission in lieu of ER at the discretion of the Service. Please refer to IFM chapters 17.2 and
17.15 for more information regarding withdraw of application for admission and expedited
removal respectively. Through the
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
withdrawal of application for admission process, photographs, fingerprints are taken via_enrollment and ~stration data can be
(b) (2)
into_Therefore,
captured via the Question and Answer (Q&A) statement. This information should be obtained and entered into.
Therefore, it must
be made clear to potential special registrants who do not wish to comply with the terms of special registration that they will still be
photographed, fingerprinted and asked to provide additional data. The collection of the photograph, fingerprint and additional data will
be collected as part of the process for their removal from the United States, not under 8 CFR, 264.1(f).
(7) Alternative Inspections. Nonimmigrant aliens who are subject to special registration and have been granted a waiver by an officer
delegated NSEERS waiver authority may participate (if otherwise eligible) in an alternative inspection program, provided that the
waiver has not expired and is valid for multiple entries. See part (a)(10)
(a)( 10) for further gUidance
guidance regarding the issuance of waivers for
aliens who are subject to special registration.

(8) !2eQQrture and Readmission. Upon departure on or after October 1, 2002, including visits to Mexico,
MeXico, Canada or adjacent islands,
the alien must notify CBP of such departure and leave through a designated POD. Aliens who were subject to special registration and
did not report their departure to CBP may not be eligible for readmission, including automatic revalidation, when attempting to return
to the United States.

but the alien should retain his or
her original Form 1-94. When processing such alien upon his or her return, a new special regis

the alien may be admitted for the balance of the previous admission.

(9) Aliens in Transit. Nonimmigrants who are subject to special registration and who are eligible to apply for admission under 8 CFR
212.1(f) (Transit Without Visa) shall be registered as described in this SOP. However, if
jf the alien intends to depart the United States
(b) (2)
from an unauthorized POD, his or her departure information will be collected and entered into.uring the arrival registration. If the
alien is intending to depart the United States through an authorized POD, then the departure information will be collected at the
departure site listed in the walk-away materials. Refer to part (a)(2) for exemption for ITI passengers.
(10) Aliens Requesting Waiver of Special Registration Requirements. A nonimmigrant alien applying for admission that has been
granted a waiver, and the waiver has not expired can be admitted without registration. Therefore, the issuance of waivers of special
registration requirements should be handled in a judicious and expeditious manner. Information on waivers granted to aliens who have
been registered will be updated in (b)(2), (b)(7)(E) 'y the approving office.
Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 264.1(f)(7), authorizes district directors of the former Immigration and Naturalization
Service to adjudicate requests for relief (waivers) from the special registration requirements.

The authority to grant waivers from the special registration requirements has been delegated to the CBP Directors and Deputy
Directors, Field Operations, or those officers acting in the capacity of such director or deputy director. The Director or Deputy Director,
Field Operations may further delegate this authority, not lower than the level of Port Director or Deputy Port Director (or an officer
acting in that capacity), at the GS-13 level or higher.
When granted, this relief (or waiver) can encompass all or part of the registration requirements. A registered alien could seek relief
from the NSEERS requirements in many ways. Some of those ways are: 1) Waiver of registration upon arrival; 2) Waiver of 3D-day
and/or annual Interviews; 3) Waiver of Departure Registration (or departure from an unauthorized port); 4) Waiver of all registration
requirements. An alien might also seek relief from a combination of requirements, such as the 3D-day interview and departure
registration.
A waiver request received by the CBP could seek relief from NSEERS requirements that are not part of the CBP function. For example,
a request from a registered alien who is seeking relief only from the 3D-day or annual interview should be forwarded to the Bureau of
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and/or the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) at the local level and
notify the applicant of the transfer of his or her request. However, CBP must adjudicate all request for relief received, where the
request includes a waiver of arrival and/or departure registration, regardless of whether the request also includes waiver of the 3D-day
or annual interview.
Prior to granting any waiver, the officer delegated NSEERS waiver authority, must confirm that the nonimmigrant alien requesting
relief has been specially registered and their registration information is contained in the automated NSEERS database (b)(2), (b)(7)(E) In
addition, record checks through (b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
as well as local indices, must be performed and
confirmed before rantin a waiver. (b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

For this reason, nonimmigrant aliens making a waiver request at a port of entry (POE) must be made aware that waiver requests are
not adjudicated immediately. Do not adjudicate a waiver application unless the most recent registration record is two weeks old.
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
Furthermore, if there is no (b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
n the alien's
ecord, the waiver request is to be denied and the alien
informed that he or she may reapply at a later time. While the waiver request is pending, the registrant must continue to comply with
all of the special registration requirements until such time as a waiver is granted.

request must be accompanied by appropriate supporting documents, based on the request that is being made. Some examples might
include:
Include:

•

A registered alien who is seeking a waiver from the 3D-day interview for medical reasons should submit medical records, letters. or other appropriate

documentation from his or her physician. The documents described in this example must support the claim that the alien cannot appear before the Service
for the 3D-day interview.
A registered truck driver who makes frequent entries into the United States. Such a registered alien should provide supporting documents indicating
that his of her entries are frequent enough to warrant a waiver, such as log books, invoices or delivery schedules, and a letter from his or her
employer indicating that the entry into the United States is required given the nature of their employment. The documents described in this
example must support the claim that the registration requirements would cause such a hardship to the alien that he or she could no longer
continue employment if registered. This type of waiver would not be appropriate if the alien's entries into the United States are so infrequent that
registration would not impose an undue hardship.
•

A registered student requesting a waiver of the departure reporting requirements should provide a letter from the designated school official certifying
that departure from a designated port of departure would cause economic or other hardship for the student, a certification that the student is
maintaining status, proof of enrollment, or other evidence that the alien is a bona fide student. The documents described in this example must
support the claim that the alien cannot depart from an authorized port of departure.

The type and amount of supporting documents will vary depending on the part of the registration requirements that the alien is
requesting be waived, the class of admission of the registrant and the circumstances regarding the alien's continued stay in, or
departure from, the United States.
The officer delegated NSEERS waiver authority may not waive the requirement that special registrants who remain in the United States
for thirty days or longer must notify the Service of any change of address, employment, or educational institution within ten days of
such a change. Furthermore, the officer delegated NSEERS waiver authority is authorized to cancel or rescind a waiver should
information come to their attention that would cause the nonimmigrant alien to become ineligible for the waiver. Should this occur, the
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
NSEERS database must be updated immediately. Denials should also be annotated in the comments field of the a
alien's
lien's_
record to prevent the special registrant from "POE/District shopping" for an approval.
Upon receipt of a waiver application (w~includea photograph), ensure that the applicant's information matches the
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
biometric and biographic information i n ~ waiver applicant may, at the discretion of the officer delegated NSEERS waiver
authority, be required to report for an interview and perform an (b)(2), (b)(7)(E) earch for the alien's NSEERS record and to issue waiver
approval notification.
The approval notification will be issued in the form of a letter signed by the officer delegated NSEERS waiver authority. The body of the
letter will cite the alien's full name, date of birth and Fingerprint Identification Number (FIN); additional numbers such as passport
number, Form 1-94 number, or Alien File number may be included as well. The letter will also state "Special Registration, or NSEERS,
Waiver Authorized". The letter must specify which arts of s ecial re istration are waived the ex iration date of the waiver and
whether the waiver is valid for multi Ie entries

The validity of any waiver granted may not exceed one year and remains valid upon departure from the United States. Special
registrants may apply for, and if eligible, be granted an extension of the waiver for a period not to exceed one year per extension.

The following three categories represent a general guide that may warrant approval of a discretionary 8 CFR 264,l(f)(7) waiver. The
officer delegated NSEERS waiver authority may authorize a waiver for anyone of the categories listed below, or may base the waiver
on other situations or information not referenced in these categories.
!~

Category 1 (POE Registration/Departure Waiver)

This category pertains to those nonimmigrant aliens who make frequent crossings on a daily or weekly basis, do not plan to remain in
the United States longer than 29 days upon entry, and request a waiver from registration and from departure verification at the POE.
These individuals may be engaged in employment that requires them to make repeated trips to the United States or short duration.
Similarly, this would apply to individuals who are attending educational institutions who can demonstrate that they make frequent
entries to attend school. This category may also apply to nonimmigrant aliens who are acting in a diplomatic capacity, but are awaiting
the issuance of an "A" or "Gil
"G" class visa. It may also apply to individuals who are entering the United States for medical treatment.
!~

Category 2 (3D-day and/or 1-year Waiver)

This category of nonimmigrant aliens may apply for a waiver from the 30-day and/or annual interview requirements. This would
generally apply to nonimmigrant aliens who are hospitalized or in extended non-ambulatory care and cannot come to the district or
sub-office to report for the interview. It may also apply to nonimmigrant aliens who are acting in a diplomatic capacity, but are
awaiting the issuance of an "A" or "Gil
"G" class visa.
•

Category 3 (Departure Waiver)

This category would apply to nonimmigrant aliens who have been registered but now request to leave the United States from a port
other than a designated port of departure. This may apply to individuals who may have previously purchased a round-trip ticket and
the return transportation does not depart from a designated port. Additionally, this may be a request from a specially registered
nonimmigrant alien who now has to depart the United States from a non-designated port of departure because of unforeseen
circumstances.

It is paramount that should a waiver be granted or denied, a timely update must be made in the NSEERS database. In addition, all
registered aliens who apply for a waiver must be informed that waiver requests cannot be adjudicated immediately and that they will
either have to return to the POE or Service office to pick-up their waiver letter, or it may be mailed to them if there is sufficient reason
to believe that the alien cannot return to a Service office. Until the specially registered alien receives notification that his or her request
has been approved, the nonimmigrant alien must comply with all of the terms of special registration.
Please refer to part (a)(6) of aliens who refuse to participate in registration procedures. See also Appendix 15-10 of this field manual.
If a secondary inspecting officer encounters an alien who has been granted a waiver by an officer delegated NSEERS waiver authority,
it should be noted in th (b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
on the reverse of the Form 1-94 and adjacent to the
passport admission stamp (where a passport is required).
Not to be confused with a waiver, either the Secretary of State, or the Secretary of Homeland Security can exempt individual
nonimmigrants from the special registration requirements upon application for admission to the United States. Some of these
exemptions will be posted in IBIS by the Department of State. In those cases, IBIS will alert the officer that this particular alien is
exempt from special registration (or NSEERS) requirements. Please refer to part (a)(2) of this SOP for current special registration
exemptions.

Special Registration", was published on February 19,
19,2003.
2003. This notice contains an error and was corrected by Federal Register
Correction 68 FR 8967 published on February 26, 2003. The original notice, as published, does not properly distinguish between the
expanded ports of entry (POEs), designated effective March 3, 2003, for the departure of aliens who are subject to special registration
(registrants) and those POEs that were previously designated on October 1,
1/ 2002. The wording of the notice implies that all of the
POEs listed in the notice have been authorized to provide final registration and departure services since October 1, 2002. This is not
the case.
It is possible that registrants will have attempted to register and depart from one of the newly designated POEs before the March 3,
2003/
2003, effective date of the notice. If a registrant 1) departed the United States from one of the newly designated POEs between
February 19,
2003 (the date of publication of the incorrect notice) and February 26, 2003 (the date of publication of the corrected
19,2003
notice); 2) was not registered upon departure; 3) reapplies for admission; and 4) claims to have attempted to locate the departure
registration location prior to departure, such a case should be construed to have good cause for the failure to register upon departure.

(C) Departure Examination. Registered aliens must be examined at the time of their departure from the United States. The phrase "at
the time of their departure" will be interpreted to mean the day of their departure, and to depart from a port of entry (POE) that has
been designated, by publication in the Federal Register, as an authorized port of departure (POD). Registered aliens may not register
their departure at an authorized POD and actually depart from any other location.
The exceptions to this policy are registered aliens who have been granted a waiver (if the waiver includes departure requirements),
crewmen, and aliens applying for admission under the transit without visa program, as outlined in part (a)(2) of this SOP. Any of these
circumstances must be thoroughly documented in the alien's
alien/s (b)(2), (b)(7)(E) ecord. Therefore, all other specially registered aliens must be
examined by a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer at an authorized POD and depart from that site on the same day.
(D) Tracking Departure. The NSEERS departure requirement places the burden on the registrant to register their departure from the

United States. An NSEERS registrant who fails to register departure is presumed inadmissible upon the next aPilication
arplication for admission
to the United States. Registrants subject to NSEERS, for whom no departure data is contained in (b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

(13) Departure Information.
(A) Intent to Depart. Upon reporting for departure, special registrants should demonstrate that they intend to depart the United States
on the day they report. To do so, they may show onward tickets, or boarding passes, where applicable. The amount of evidence that is
provided to the inspecting officer will vary depending on where and how the departure takes place. For example, at an airport, a
boarding pass could be shown if the review takes place inside the airport security checkpoints. However, if the interview takes place
prior to airport security and prior to check-in, the alien might only provide a ticket. At any location (air, land or sea), the officer should
interview the departing registrant and examine the evidence provided (if any) and make a determination that the special registrant
intends to depart the United States. Where logistically possible and operationally feasible, the officer should witness the departure and
annotate the I/E to that effect.
(B) Annotating Departure. The inspecting officer will examine the alien's identity document(s) and Form 1-94 and record the
registrant's departure in I/E. This process is most quickly and reliably accomplished by fingerprinting the departing alien on I/E. When
the record comes back, update the registration screen with the departure date and verification. To ensure that the normal Form 1-94
process is not Infringed upon, lifting the Form 1-94 is not required of the inspecting officer. Depending upon where the departure
control POint is established it is possible that the alien's Form 1-94 was lifted by the carrier prior to departure control.

(b) (2)

In cases where~ departure control site does not have access t~t that location, the departure information must be recorded for
(b) (2)
later input into. The information collected should contain the special registrant's last name, first name, date-of-birth, FIN number,
intended departure date, carrier name, and flight number or vessel name.
(b) (2) not available at the departure site and the alien's fingerprints cannot be taken upon departure the record can be accessed, the
I_iS
record can be accessed at a later time by using the FIN shown on the Form 1-94. In those cases the inspecting officer must verify the
identity of the alien by comparing the passport photograph or other identification documents with the subject.

If the alien has lost his or her 1-94, or it was previously collected by the carrier, examine the passport and nonimmigrant visa to
determine if the FIN number has been annotated therein.
If the alien was registered using the back-up procedures contained in part (a)(II)
(a)( 11) of this SOP (which generates no FIN to be shown in
(b) (2)
the registrant's documents), the_ecord
must be retrieved by name and date of birth search. Once the record is located, enter the
FIN number on the following documents, if they are available: Form 1-94, nonimmigrant visa and/or adjacent to the admission stamp

ecords can be compared with a carrier's departure manifest to determine if the registrant actually departed.

(C) Passport Stamp. Each designated POD should have departure stamps to record the alien's departure. The inspecting officer will
place an authorized departure stamp in the registrant's passport (where a passport was required for admission). The stamp should be
placed as close to the associated admission stamp as possible. The alien should be advised to keep this evidence in order to

to part (a)(13) of this SOP. See Appendix 15-10 of this field manual. Please refer to part (a)(2) of this SOP for an exemption of
departure requirements for nonimmigrant crewmen.

nonimmigrant status, (b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
However, the purpose of examination for special
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
registration purposes upon the alien's departure is not to interfere with the departure of an alien, or to discover such violations; it is
simply to input information on the registrant's departure. Therefore, the inspecting officer must communicate to Investigations the
nature of the violation and the amount of time that they have to respond before the alien's planned departure.

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

(2) Adjudications Interview. The objective of the interview is to confirm the registrant's adherence to the itinerary and statement of
intentions he or she provided at the port of entry, or last interview. The first interview will take place after day thirty and before day
forty-one of the alien's stay. Aliens reporting beyond this lO-day window will be referred to ICE, Investigations; however, between the
offices of Investigations and Adjudications, prosecutorial discretion may be exercised on a case-by-case basis. Thereafter, interviews
will occur on a yearly basis within~s of the anniversary of the last admission. The officer will take a digital photo and record a
(b)(2),

_ t o verify registrant's identity. This automatically brings up the applicant's file on the
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
monitor. While

the following general information:(E)

Purpose of trip (business, employment, vacation, school, other)
Financial support (source & amount of financial support from abroad, is the alien self-supporting, does he or she have a bank

Contact(s) address and telephone number(s)
Review any supporting documents brought in by the registrant as support (school identification, employment letter, housing
agreement, etc.)
Whether the alien has been arrested since entry
(b) (2)

(3) Interview Questions. Once the. screen appears, the registrant's itinerary, as given at the POE, will be available. After reviewing
this screen, the officer should con=e with the interview in order to confirm the registrant's adherence to the itinerary and statement
of intention provided at the port of entry or last interview. Officers should only ask any questions that are pertinent to establishing the
registrant's compliance with the terms of his or her admission. Depending on the registrant's class of admission, the following sample
questions may be used to determine if they remain in lawful status:
(A) Business

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

(B) Employment

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

(C) School

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

(D) Tourist

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

(4) Continuation of Interview. Only with supervisory concurrence may the interviewing officer continue the interview for additional
documentation for up to seven (7) calendar days.
(5) Unregistered Applicants. Aliens who appear to meet registration criteria but have been lawfully admitted to the United States
without having been registered at the POE should not be registered, unless they have been notified to report to the Service for
registration through publication in the Federal Register. Subsequent to such a publication, if an interviewing officer discovers an
applicant who meets the registration criteria, but has not been previously registered, the interviewing officer must determine if the
applicant arrived after the effective date of the Federal Register notice. The interviewing officer must then examine this SOP in order to
determine if the applicant is exempt from, or has been granted a waiver (see Inspection section (a)(2) from the special registration
requirements and also Appendix 15-10 of this field manual). Once the interviewing officer determines that the applicant should be
(b) (2)
registered, the interviewing officer will collect photographs, fingerprints and registration data throug~ThiS

similar the collection of registration data at a POE.

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

(B) The fact that a special registrant is maintaining his or her nonimmigrant status should be entered i n(b)t(2)
. If the interviewing
officer determines that the registrant is in compliance with the stated purpose of his or her visit, the registrant should be furnished

with a packet of information to include:
Change of address, employment, school instructions
Annual registration requirements
Departure notification requirements, including authorized PODs
A national 800 number that can be contacted by the registrant if he/she wishes to provide any information concerning acts of
terrorism.
(7) Aliens Requesting Waiver. The issuance of waivers of special registration requirements should be handled in a judicious and
expeditious manner. Aliens who have been specially registered can make a request, in writing, to CBP or CIS for a waiver of all or part
of the registration requirements for a maximum period of one year. Such requests may only be entertained after registration at the
POE.
The following three categories represent a general guide that may warrant approval of a discretionary 8 CFR 264.1(f)(7) waiver. CBP
may authorize waivers in all categories, however waiver requests that seek relief for Category 2 only, will be made or forwarded to CIS
for adjudication.
!-

Category 1 (POE Registration/Departure Waiver)

This category pertains to those nonimmigrant aliens who make frequent crossings on a daily or weekly basis, do not plan to remain in
the United States longer than 29 days upon entry, and request a waiver from registration and from departure verification at the POE.
These individuals may be engaged in employment that requires them to make repeated trips to the United States or short duration.
Similarly, this would apply to individuals who are attending educational institutions who can demonstrate that they make frequent
entries to attend school. This category may also apply to nonimmigrant aliens who are acting in a diplomatic capacity, but are awaiting
the issuance of an "A" or "G" class visa. It may also apply to individuals who are entering the United States for medical treatment.
!-

Category 2 (3D-day and/or 1-year Waiver)

This category of nonimmigrant aliens may apply for a waiver from the 30-day and/or annual interview requirements. This would
generally apply to nonimmigrant aliens who are hospitalized or in extended non-ambulatory care and cannot come to the district or
sub-office to report for the interview. It may also apply to nonimmigrant aliens who are acting in a diplomatic capacity, but are
awaiting the issuance of an "A" or "G" class visa.
!-

Category 3 (Departure Waiver)

This category would apply to nonimmigrant
nonimmig rant aliens who have been registered but now request to leave the United States from a port
other than a designated port of departure. This may apply to individuals who may have previously purchased a round-trip ticket and
the return transportation does not depart from a designated port. Additionally, this may be a request from a specially registered
nonimmigrant alien who now has to depart the United States from a non-designated port of departure because of unforeseen
circumstances.
(b) (2)

When such requests are approved, the.system will be annotated to reflect that a waiver has been granted. Refer to part (a)(lO) of
this SOP for detailed waiver processing guidance. See also Appendix 15-10 of this field manual.

(they must be typewritten), under oath, to the questions posed to the registrant [referring to part (b)(3)], and include the FIN number
(if available), name and date of birth of the registrant. The interviewing officer should include a statement to indicate if the registrant
is maintaining status, or has been referred to Investigations.

Registration." Immediately fax all back-up material to the BSC at (b) (2)
. Please refer to part (a)(ll)(E) for forwarding
instructions.
(9) Asylum. Asylum officers might encounter aliens who have made an asylum claim, but who have been registered under the special
registration program. In such a case, unless waived, the alien must continue to comply with the terms of his or her special registration
until the application is approved, or he or she departs the United States (in which case the alien must report to the departure control
officer at an authorized POD). These terms of registration include 3D-day and annual interviews at the district office, as applicable. An
asylum applicant who departs the United States and returns pursuant to advanced parole (Form 1-512) will not be subject to special
registration upon return. The reason for this determination is that the alien would be a parolee and not a nonimmigrant applicant for
admission upon his or her return and therefore, not subject to the terms of special registration.

of their admission or are otherwise in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act; and, those aliens who are subject to
prosecution under the criminal provisions of the United States Code. In some cases, an alien may fall into more than one of these
categories. In all encounters, it is the encountering officer's responsibility to reasonably verify the identity of the alien and determine
the alien's current immigration status. In general, standard established procedures for enforcement actions will be followed. However,

(3) Identification of Special Registrants. General criteria for special registration will be published via policy memorandum and updated

from time to time. There may also be individual circumstances bringing about a specific registration that does not clearly fall into
published criteria. Refer to part (a)(l) of this SOP for more information.

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

Officers must be alert to the possibility that an alien before them (either under a removal action, or any other circumstance) has been
registered but carries no evidence of it, or has not been registered and should have been. They must therefore be aware of the
parameters for special registration, and be certain to check the (b)(2), (b)(7)(E) database
to determine if the alien has been registered. This
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
is most reliably accomplished by taking the alien's two index fingerprints on _ b u t it may also be done by a FIN or name search

Alien Being Removed. An officer preparing an alien for departure may find that the alien should be registered, but is not. First, the
alien should be registered if appropriate (see sec. (e)(4) above), with any other actions following. A failure to be registered is
cause for suspicion, and the circumstances of the failure should be closely examined. If the failure appears willful, the case
should be considered under local guidelines for presentation to the U.S. Attorney for prosecution. If prosecution is declined,

then the removal should be carried out and the departure recorded in liE under the procedure set forth in paragraph (4)(A)
above.

Other Encounters. This may include an alien found in an institution, or one coming in to post bond for another, or any of a broad
range of encounters. The point is to see that aliens who should be specially registered are registered. If not registered, the
alien should immediately be registered as set forth in section (e)(3) above if there has been a publication in the Federal
Register requiring the registration of aliens who are present in the United States (as opposed to those who are applying for
(b) (2)
admission upon arrival). If found in an institution and it is not practicable to register the alien using _equipment, follow the
instructions for registration contained in part (a)(l1) above. Thereafter, the alien should be handled in accordance with
current policy for the circumstance.

Appendix 15-10: How to Record Departure from the United States,
After the Fact
Dear Traveler:
If you returned home with your Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) departure record Form 1-94 (white) or Form 1-94W
(green) in your passport, it means that your departure was not recorded properly. It is your responsibility to correct this record. You
must provide the INS sufficient information so we can record your timely departure from the United States. This will close out your
earlier record of arrival to this country.
If you do not validate a timely departure from the United States, or if you cannot reasonably prove otherwise when you next apply for
admission to the United States, the INS may conclude you remained in the United States beyond your authorized stay. If this happens,
the next time you apply to enter the United States, your visa may be subject to cancellation or you may be returned immediately to
your foreign point of origin.

In particular, visitors who remain beyond their permitted stay in the United States under the Visa Waiver Program cannot reenter the
United States in the future without obtaining a visa from a United States Consulate. If this occurs and you arrive at a united States
port-of-entry seeking admission under the Visa Waiver Program without a visa, united States immigration officers may order your
immediate return to a foreign point of origin.
To validate departure, the INS will consider a variety of information, including, but not limited to:

•
•

•

Original boarding passes you used to depart the United States;
Photocopies of entry or departure stamps in your passport indicating entry to another country after you
departed the United States (you should copy all passport pages that are not completely blank, and
include the biographical page containing your photograph); and
Photocopies of other supporting evidence, such as:
Dated pay slips or vouchers from your employer to indicate you worked in another country after you departed the United
States
Dated bank records shoWing transactions to indicate you were in another country after you left the United States
School records showing attendance at a school outside the United States to indicate you were in another country after
you left the United States
Dated credit card receipts, showing your name, but, the credit card number deleted, for purchases made after you left
the United States to indicate you were in another country after leaving the United States

Your statement will not be acceptable without supporting evidence such as noted above.

You must mail legible copies or original materials where possible. If you send original materials, you should retain a copy. The INS
cannot return original materials after processing. To help us understand the situation and correct your records quickly, please include
an explanation letter in English. You must send your letter and enclosed information only to the following address:
ACS - INS SBU
P.O. Box 7125
London, KY 40742-7125
USA

Do not mail your departure Form I-94 or supporting information to any United States Consulate or Embassy, to any other INS office in
the United States, or to any address other than the one above. Only at this location are we able to make the necessary corrections to
INS records to prevent inconvenience to you in the future.

Appendix 16-2 Significant Public Benefit Parole Protocols
and Forms
SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC BENEFIT PAROLE
PROTOCOL FOR U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION AND
U.S. IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT
FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT PURPOSES

I.

Purpose

This protocol establishes the policy for requesting, vetting, approving, supervising, and tracking
significant public benefit paroles (SPBP) for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
SPBP is a critical enforcement tool that enhances the ability of CBP and ICE to enforce the law and
protect the American people. It is a temporary measure used to support law enforcement efforts
by providing a legal mechanism for aliens such as informants, witnesses, criminals, and defendants
who are otherwise inadmissible to be present in the United States so they may assist with
investigations, prosecutions, or other activities necessary to secure the borders of the United States.
Types of SPBP covered by the protocol include, but are not necessarily limited to:
1. Parole of an alien into the United States as a confidential informant to obtain information pertinent
to border enforcement operations or to assist in an investigation.
2. Parole of an alien into the United States as a material witness in the prosecution of an alien
smuggler, a drug smuggler, or other criminal violator.
3.

II.

Parole of a defendant or a criminal alien into the United States for the purpose of prosecution.

Scope
A.

This protocol applies only to the DHS organizational elements of CBP and ICE.

B.
The approval of SPBP for law enforcement agencies other than CBP and ICE is covered in a separate
protocol entitled "Significant Public Benefit Parole for U.S. Law Enforcement Agencies."
III.

Authorities

This protocol is governed by numerous Public Laws and national policy, such as:
A. Section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, Title 8, United States Code, Section 1182(d)
(5). This authorizes the Attorney General to parole aliens into the United States.
B. Sections 402 and 421 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public Law 107-29: This transfers
authority for immigration matters, including parole, to the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Under
Secretary, BTS.

C.
DHS Delegation Order Number 7010.1: This delegates authority for parole to the Commissioner,
CBP.
D.
DHS Delegation Order Number 7030: This delegates authority for parole to the Assistant Secretary,
ICE.
E.
Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section 212.5: This provides regulations for the parole of
aliens and delegated authority for parole to, among others, the Assistant Commissioner, Office of Field
Operations (OFO); Directors of Field Operations (DFO); Port Directors; Special Agents in Charge (SAC);
Deputy Special Agents in Charge; Associate Special Agents in Charge; Assistant Special Agents in Charge;
Resident Agents in Charge; and Chief Patrol Agents (CPA).
F.
Memoranda of May 22, 2003 and July 20, 2004, from the CBP Assistant Commissioner, OFO: This
delegates authority for paroles to the officials in OFO designated in Authority III.E. above and to certain
other port of entry managers.
G.
ICE Delegation Number 0001 : This delegates authority to adjudicate requests for parole and to parole
applicants for admission into the United States to the officials in the Office of Investigations (ICE/OI)
designated in Authority III.E above.

IV.

Definitions
A.
"Parole": A temporary measure used to allow an alien to be present in the United States who is
otherwise inadmissible. Parole does not constitute a formal admission to the United States and confers only
temporary authorization to be present in the United States without having been admitted.
B.
"Significant Public Benefit": A reasonable expectation on behalf of the authorizing official that the
alien's presence in the United States will facilitate, or is consistent with:
1.

National security.

2.

Development of intelligence or information pertinent to the DHS mission.

3.

Law enforcement or border enforcement operations or proceedings.

4.

Cooperation in an investigation.

5.

Advantage or benefit to the United States.

C.
"Parole in Place": The granting of parole to an applicant for admission (material witness, informant,
etc.) who is already in the United States and has not been previously inspected and admitted.
D.
"Deferred Action": A discretionary measure to defer the removal of an alien from the United States.
Deferred action does not confer any legal immigration status upon an alien, and removal proceedings may
be initiated at any time. (See I-LINK (INSERTS), Detention and Deportation Officer's Field Manual, Chapter
20.8, "Deferred Action.")

VI.

Policy and Procedures
A.
1.

Policy

Approval Authority
a.
Pursuant to the authorities and delegations listed above, the Commissioner, CBP, and the
Assistant Secretary, ICE, may grant, terminate, or deny a parole at any time within their respective
organizations.
b.
The HQOBP, OFO, and ICE/OI Headquarters components have the authority to terminate or
deny a parole at any time within their respective chains of command.
c.
Authorizing officials designated in Authority III.E and Fin CBP and ICE field offices may grant,
terminate, or deny paroles directly supporting operations in their offices.
d.
The authority levels designated in 8 CFR 212.5 (Authority III. E) are at the discretion of the CBP
Assistant Commissioner/OFO; the Chief, HQOBP; and the ICE Director/Ol for their respective
offices. These officials may issue additional internal policies to restrict approval authority for some or
all aliens.

2.
Parole in Place: Authorizing officials may approve the parole of an applicant for admission already
inside the United States without requiring the alien to first depart the United States. Since the alien is
already in the United States, the authorizing official does not have to coordinate the alien's arrival with
the POE (all other procedures must be adhered to). Parole in Place applies only to aliens who are
present, but were not inspected and admitted, e.g., "entry without inspection" or "present without
inspection." Parole in Place does not apply to others who have been admitted, e.g., overstays. An alien
who is an overstay must be placed in removal proceedings or deferred action, or the overstay alien may
be granted voluntary departure, as appropriate. Once the overstay alien has departed the United States,
the alien may then be paroled pursuant to this protocol. Parole in Place does not apply to an alien that
has been placed in proceedings.
3.

Parole Term
a.
Initial paroles will generally be approved for up to 90 days; however, an initial parole may be
granted for up to 1 year, e.g., a witness who may be required to stay in the United States for an
extended period in furtherance of a prosecution. Initial paroles of over 90 days require detailed

justification on the DHS SPBP Form.
b.
4.

Re-paroles (extensions) may be approved for up to 1 year each.

Exceptions
a.
S-Visas: This protocol does not apply to SPBPs in cases in which the "s" classification has
been approved. In those cases, the policy and procedures of 8 CFR 212.14 and 214.2(t) will be
followed.
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

c.
Removals/Transit: This protocol does not apply to paroles for Section 240 removal proceedings
if detention is not available or appropriate, parole of stowaways for removal, deferred inspections,
and similar situations.
d.
Defendants: This protocol does not apply to paroles for the types of defendants listed below.
Such criminal aliens will be processed at the time of entry and paroled into the United States for
prosecution without following the procedures set forth in VI. B below. Detainers will be placed on the
criminal aliens at the time of incarceration to ensure that they are returned to DHS custody for
appropriate processing.
(1)
Fugitive aliens who arrive in the United States without advance knowledge of DHS
agencies will be placed in the custody of law enforcement officers upon arrival. Note: If DHS
does have advance knowledge of a fugitive alien arriving in the United States, the procedures set
forth in VI. B, including coordinating the arrival of the fugitive alien with the PHAB and POE as
appropriate, will be followed. However, the fugitive alien's name will not be circulated to other
LEAs by the PHAB (see VI.B.7.a, "Circulation and Concurrence"). The fugitive will be placed in
the custody of law enforcement officers upon arrival.
(2)
Prisoner Transfers: The United States is party to two international conventions (treaties)
relating to the transfer of prisoners. Foreign governments requesting paroles must contact the
International Prisoner Transfer Unit of the U.S. Department of Justice, Criminal Division, which
will forward the requests to the PHAB for authorization in accordance with the Significant Public
Benefit Parole Protocol for Other U.S. Law Enforcement Agencies.
(3) Aliens apprehended on the high seas or in United States waters by the U.S. Coast Guard,
ICE, CBP, or other LEA marine officers and brought to the United States for proceedings.
(4) Aliens apprehended at the POEs, such as smugglers, those presenting fraudulent
documents, and cooperating and other defendants.
B. Procedures
1.

Request and Approval of SPBP
a.

Forms

(1)
DHS SPBP Form: The CBP or ICE officer will complete, sign, and submit a DHS
Significant Public Benefit Parole Authorization Form (DHS SPBP Form) to the authorizing official
for review and approval. A separate DHS SPBP Form must be completed for each alien for
whom parole is requested. The DHS SPBP Form must be signed by the requesting officer and
his or her immediate supervisor. The authorizing official will either approve or deny the parole
and sign the DHS SPBP Form. The authorizing official or representative will electronically submit
a copy of the approved or denied DHS SPBP Form (pages 1-3) to the PHAB immediately upon
approval or denial (no later than 48 hours) and will retain a copy in the local file. Page 40fthe
DHS SPBP Form, which contains sensitive investigative and personal information, will remain
with the authorizing office and will not be transmitted to the PHAB.
(2)
Form 1-512 (Authorization for Parole of an Alien Into the United States): If a parolee will
arrive in the United States at a location other than a land border POE, the PHAB will coordinate
with the foreign ICE Attache Office and/or the U.S. Embassy or Consulate to issue transportation
documents (Form 1-512 or boarding letter) to the parolee overseas. Otherwise, the requesting
officer will complete and submit a Form 1-512 to the authorizing official for signature. A
photograph of the parolee will be attached to the Form 1-512 as soon as feasible. The form may
be used to authorize single or multiple entries. The remarks section should include the length of
parole (number of days authorized) and indicate whether a single entry or multiple entries are
authorized. If the parole request is approved, the authorizing official will sign the Form 1-512 on
the line designated "Signature of Immigration Officer." The original Form 1-512 is to be retained
by the parolee. A copy of the form will be retained in the local file. Neither Form 1-131
(Application for Travel Document) nor a fee is required for issuance of the Form 1-512.
(3) Form 1-94 (ArrivallDeparture Record): The requesting officer may prepare as much
information as possible on the Form 1-94 (e.g., the parolee's biographical information) on behalf
of the CBP/OFO Officer at the POE. The CBP/OFO Officer will endorse the Form 1-94 with the
"Parole" stamp upon the parolee's arrival at the POE. The fee for the Form 1-94 issued at land
border POEs will be waived for SPBPs.
b.
Record Checks: The requesting officer must perform the following criminal history record
checks and immigration history and database queries for each parolee. The record checks include:
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

In addition, the requesting office will check the name of the parolee through the local Joint

Terrorism Task Force to obtain additional information. If the parolee arrives 30 days after the
date of authorization, updated record checks of the parolee will be performed.
c.
Fingerprints and Photograph: The authorizing office will take fingerprints (10 prints) and
photograph(s) for each parolee, and one complete set will be retained in the local file.
d.
Alien File: The authorizing field office will assign an Alien Registration Number (e.g., A12 345
678 for the corresponding Alien File) for the parolee in accordance with existing procedures for
creation of an A-file.
2.

Review and Action by PHAB
a.
Circulation and Concurrence: Upon receiving the DHS SPBP Form, the PHAB will review the
documentation for completeness and circulate the Notice of Request for SPBP to the designated
headquarters points of contact of the principal Federal LEAs (the Drug Enforcement Administration,
the U.S. Marshals Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, CBP, and ICE) and the National
Security Coordination Council at the Department of Justice (for informational purposes only).
Concurrence with or objection to paroles must be submitted in writing by the deadline specified on
the Notice of Request for SPBP (normally within 5 working days) unless extended by the PHAB.
Absent exigent circumstances, the parolee's arrival in the United States will be scheduled to allow
enough time for the PHAB to complete the circulation and concurrence process and return the
results to the authorizing official. Under exigent circumstances, the authorizing official may authorize
the alien to arrive before the completion of the PHAB circulation and concurrence process, however,
the decision must be documented on the DHS SPBP Form, Part J, with a detailed explanation of the
exigent circumstances in Part I.
b.
Negative Information: If the PHAB discovers new information that negatively affects the
decision to parole an alien, it will immediately pass the information to the authorizing field office and
simultaneously to the appropriate CBP/OBP, CBP/OFO, or ICE/OI headquarters component. The
headquarters component may discuss appropriate measures with the field office, such as
implementing stricter controls over the parolee or terminating the parole.
c.
Record-Keeping: The PHAB will maintain all SPBP information in the Parole Case Tracking
System and will provide a parole case tracking number for each case.

3.
Supervision of Parolees: The authorizing field office will be responsible for supervising and
monitoring the whereabouts of the parolee while present in the United States and for ensuring his or her
timely departure from the United States in accordance with the parole authorization.
a.
Arrival: The authorizing field office will coordinate the travel and arrival of the parolee at the
designated POE through the DFO or designee. Absent exigent circumstances, the parolee's arrival
in the United States will be scheduled to allow enough time for the PHAB to complete the circulation
and concurrence process and return the results to the authorizing official (see Procedure VI.B.2.a,
"Circulation and Concurrence" for more details). The authorizing field office will also ensure delivery
of the Form 1-512 at the designated POE (unless the Form 1-512 is coordinated by the PHAB and
issued by the U.S. Embassy or Consulate to the parolee). The CBP/OFO officer will issue the
parolee a Form 1-94 upon arrival. An officer from the authorizing field office should, generally, meet
the parolee at the POE. The CBP/OFO Officer, upon the parolee's arrival at the POE, will:
(1)

Review the Form 1-512 or boarding documents for accuracy, completeness, and signature.

(2)

Conduct up-to-date record checks, if necessary.

(3)
Record and enter the parolee's biographical information (e.g., name, date of birth,
nationality, date of parole, Form 1-94 number, and name of authorizing official, etc.) into TECS or
other CBP systems.
(4)
Inform the authorizing official or the authorizing official's representative at the POE of any
issues, concerns, or additional detrimental information pertaining to the status of the parolee.
The CBP officer may elevate for resolution (as needed or appropriate through his or her chain of
command) the discovery of significant differences between what the authorizing office knows of a
parolee's serious criminal and/or terrorist background and what is discovered upon inspection at
the time of parole. Every attempt should be made to address and resolve possible differences at
the lowest level. If resolution cannot be reached between the CBP Officer and the authorizing
official's on-site representative, the issue may then be elevated to POE management for
resolution with the authorizing field office. If the matter is still not resolved, the DFO may contact
the authorizing official (either the Border Patrol Sector CPA or the ICE SAC). If necessary,
DFOs, Sector CPAs, and ICE SACs may elevate any remaining issues to their respective
headquarters.
(b)(2), (b)(7)

_
Each person paroled pursuant to these procedures must be processed into the_
(E)
(b)(2), (b)(7) case system.
(E)

(6)
Issue and stamp the Form 1-94. Process the Form 1-512 in accordance with existing
procedures for processing advance paroles.
(7)
Forward the parolee's Form 1-94 arrival portion, in accordance with the Form 1-94 mailing
instructions, to the appropriate contractor for entry into th (b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

(8) The fee for the Form 1-94 issued at land border POEs will be waived for SPBPs unless
otherwise directed.
b.
Reporting: The authorizing field offices will report to the PHAB using the DHS Parole Tracking
Form when the following occurs:
(1)

A parolee arrives at the POE (initial arrival).

(2)

A Parole in Place is granted.

(3)

A parolee fails to arrive in the United States within 30 days of the parole authorization.

(4)

An extension (re-parole) is authorized.

(5)

The parole is terminated.

(6)

A parolee departs or adjusts to an immigration status.

(7)

A parolee absconds.

(8)

There is a change in any significant information previously provided.

c.
Benefits - Employment Authorization: Persons authorized SPBP are present in the United
States at the discretion of and under conditions imposed by the authorizing office. U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services (CIS) has agreed to process law enforcement sensitive requests for
benefits, such as an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) related to SPBP, in a secure and
expeditious fashion through their Fraud Detection National Security (FDNS) Unit. Applications for
benefits, such as Form 1-765 (Application for Employment Authorization), should be forwarded to the
appropriate headquarters division of the organization seeking the benefit for a parolee. The
appropriate ICE or CBP headquarters division will review and endorse the benefit application then
coordinate directly with the CIS/FDNS Unit, which will adjudicate and produce the benefit document.
The ICE or CBP headquarters unit will then forward the benefit document to the requesting field
office. In accordance with the CIS memorandum entitled, "New Procedures for Issuance of
Immigration BenefitslDocuments in Law Enforcement and National Security Matters," dated
December 19, 2003, "the fee will ordinarily be waived [for the EAD] ...."
4.
Re-Parole (Extension): A request for re-parole will be submitted to the authorizing official via a new
DHS SPBP Form, a new Form 1-512 (if the alien intends to travel outside the United States), and a new
Form 1-94 before the expiration date of the parolee's authorized stay. Each new re-parole may be
granted for up to 1 year. The new Form 1-94 will be endorsed with a "Parole" stamp by the authorizing
official. 1 The departure record of the original (expiring) Form 1-94 and the arrival record of the new Form
1-94 will be forwarded together, in accordance with the Form 1-94 mailing instructions, to the appropriate
contractor for entry into NilS.
5.

Termination of Parole
a.
Decision: The authorizing official may terminate the parole at any time. The decision must be
documented in writing, and all appropriate parties, including the PHAB, must be notified.
b. Multiple Paroles: Parole terminates each time the parolee departs the United States (8 CFR
212.5(e)). The authorizing official may authorize multiple advance paroles on the Form 1-512. When
the Form 1-512 is approved for multiple advance paroles, a new Form 1-94 will be issued at the POE
to the parolee upon each arrival.
c.
Failure To Depart (Absconding): If the parole has terminated and the parolee has not departed
as required, the parolee will be treated as an absconder. The authorizing field office will immediately
perform the following:
(1)

Terminate the parole.

(2)

Initiate removal proceedings.

(3)

Attempt to locate the parolee and provide all known information to the local CBP/OBP, ICE/

01, and CBP/OFO field office to help facilitate his or her recovery.

(4)

Submit a copy of the DHS Parole Tracking Form to the PHAB.

6.
Special Situations at POEs: A parole may also be authorized in conjunction with an ongoing
enforcement operation, such as (b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

a.
Prior Parole Approval: When the authorizing official approves a parole in advance of a special
situation, the above policy and procedures will be followed, in accordance with other policies and
procedures (e.g., directives and memorandums related to (b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
etc.).
If the subject is allowed to proceed without issuance of parole documentation, at the conclusion of
the law enforcement activity, the subject must be documented and processed by the controlling
officers as soon as feasible.
b. No Prior Parole Approval: Designated CBP/OFO officials at the POEs have parole authority for
those aliens arriving at POEs without prior parole approval as a result of emerging enforcement
actions, such as (b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
In such situations, the POE
(b)(2),
(b)(7)(E)
officials and ICE agents at the POEs will coordinate efforts in advance to effect •
•
••
••
•
•
••
•
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

2 After concurrence, the ICE agents will assume full responsibility for all aspects of the
investigative activity, including the alien, (b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

If issues
arise that prevent the granting of parole, every effort should be made to resolve possible
differences at the lowest level. If the matter cannot be resolved at the port level, it will be
elevated through the chain of command to the DFO and SAC to resolve.

7.
Parole in Place: The authorizing official, or designee, will complete a Form 1-94 and endorse it with
the "Parole" stamp. The authorizing office will forward the parolee's Form 1-94 arrival portion, in
accordance with the Form 1-94 mailing instructions, to the appropriate contractor for entry into NilS. The
authorizing official or his or her representative will electronically submit a copy of the DHS Parole
Tracking Form to the PHAB. (See Policy VI.A.2, "Parole in Place," for appropriate use of parole in
place.)
8.
Parole of Family Members: Paroles are temporary; therefore, family members should be paroled
only under extraordinary circumstances, such as legitimate physical threats to family members. The
threat must be clearly documented on the DHS SPBP Form.

SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC BENEFIT PAROLE
PROTOCOL FOR U.S. LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES

I.

Purpose

This protocol establishes the policy pertaining to the responsibilities of U.S. law enforcement
agencies (LEA) with regard to requesting, vetting, supervising, and tracking significant public benefit
paroles (SPBP). All requests for SPBP will be coordinated with the Parole and Humanitarian
Assistance Branch (PHAB) within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
SPBP is a critical enforcement tool that enhances law enforcement's ability to conduct operations
and protect the American people. It is a temporary measure used to support law enforcement efforts
by providing a legal mechanism for informants, witnesses, criminals, and defendants who are
otherwise inadmissible to be present in the United States so that they may assist with
ongoing investigations, prosecutions, or other activities necessary to protect national security.
Types of SPBP covered by the protocol include, but are not necessarily limited to:
1. Parole of an alien into the United States as a confidential informant to obtain information to assist
in an investigation.
2. Parole of an alien into the United States as a material witness in the prosecution of a criminal
violator.
3.

II.

Parole of a defendant or criminal alien into the United States for the purpose of prosecution.

Scope
A.
This protocol applies only to LEAs (including Federal, state, and local LEAs and prosecutors) outside
of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
B.
CBP and ICE have independent authority to approve paroles, and their procedures are covered in a
separate protocol entitled "Significant Public Benefit Parole Protocol for U.S. Customs and Border
Protection, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for Law Enforcement Purposes."

III.

Authorities

This protocol is governed by numerous Public Laws and national policy, such as:
A.
Section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, Title 8, United States Code, Section 1182(d)
(5): This authorizes the Attorney General to parole aliens into the United States.
B.
Sections 402 and 421 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public Law 107-29: This transfers
authority for immigration matters, including parole, to the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Under
Secretary of BTS.
C.
Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section 212.5: This provides regulations for the parole of
aliens.

D.
Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 212.5: This provides regulations for the parole of aliens
and delegates authority for parole to, among others, the Assistant Commissioner, Office of Field Operations
(OFO); Directors of Field Operations (DFO); Port Directors; Special Agents in Charge (SAC); Deputy
Special Agents in Charge; Associate Special Agents in Charge; Assistant Special Agents in Charge;
Resident Agents in Charge; Chief Patrol Agents (CPA); and other officials as may be designated in writing.
IV.

Definitions
A.
"Parole": A temporary measure used to allow an alien to be present in the United States who is
otherwise inadmissible. Parole does not constitute a formal admission to the United States, and confers
only temporary authorization to be present in the United States without having been admitted.
B.
"Significant Public Benefit": A reasonable expectation on behalf of the authorizing official that the
alien's presence in the United States will facilitate, or is consistent with:
1.

National security.

2.

Development of intelligence or information pertinent to the mission of the requesting LEA.

3.

Law enforcement or border enforcement operations or proceedings.

4.

Cooperation in an investigation.

5.

Advantage or benefit to the United States.

C.
etc.) who is already in the United States and has not been previously inspected and admitted.
D.
"Deferred Action": A discretionary measure to defer the removal of an alien from the United States.
Deferred action does not confer any legal immigration status upon an alien, and removal proceedings may
be initiated at any time.

VI.
A.

Policy and Procedures
Policy
1.
Approval Authority: Pursuant to the authorities and delegations listed above, the PHAB may grant,
terminate, or deny a parole at any time.
2.

Parole in Place: The PHAB may authorize the parole of an applicant for admission already inside

the United States without requiring the alien to first depart the United States. Since the alien is already
in the United States, the authorizing official does not have to coordinate the alien's arrival with the POE
(all other procedures must be adhered to). Parole in Place applies only to aliens who are present but
were not inspected and admitted, e.g. "entry without inspection" or "present without inspection." This
does not apply to others who have been admitted, e.g., overstays. An alien who is an overstay must be
placed in removal proceedings or deferred action, or the overstay alien may be granted voluntary
departure, as appropriate. Once the overstay alien has departed the United States, the alien may then
be paroled pursuant to this protocol. Parole in Place does not apply to an alien that has been placed in
proceedings.
3.

Parole Term
a.
Initial paroles will generally be approved for up to 90 days; however, an initial parole may be
granted for up to 1 year, e.g., a parole for a witness who may be required to stay in the United
States for an extended period of time in furtherance of a prosecution. Requests for initial paroles of
over 90 days require detailed justification on the LEA SPBP Form.
b.

4.

Re-paroles (extensions) may be approved for up to 1 year each.

Exceptions
a.
S-Visas: This protocol does not apply to SPBPs in cases in which the "s" classification has
been approved. In those cases, the policy and procedures of 8 CFR 212.14 and 214.2(t) will be
followed.
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

c.
Removals/Transit: This protocol does not apply to paroles for Section 240 removal proceedings
if detention is not available or appropriate, parole of stowaways for removal, deferred inspections,
and similar situations.
d.
Defendants: This protocol does not apply to paroles for the types of defendants listed below.
Such criminal aliens will be processed at the time of entry and paroled into the United States for
prosecution without following the procedures set forth in VI. B ("Procedures"). Detainers will be
placed on the criminal aliens at the time of incarceration to ensure that they are processed for
removal before they are released from detention.
(1)
Prisoner Transfers: The United States is party to two international conventions (treaties)
relating to the transfer of prisoners. Foreign governments requesting paroles must contact the
International Prisoner Transfer Unit of the U.S. Department of Justice, Criminal Division, which
will forward the requests to the PHAB for authorization in accordance with this protocol.

(2) Aliens apprehended on the high seas or in United States waters by the U.S. Coast Guard,
ICE, CBP, or other LEA marine officers and brought to the United States for proceedings.

(3) Aliens apprehended at the POEs, such as smugglers, those presenting fraudulent
documents, and cooperating and other defendants.
B.

Procedures
1.

Request and Approval of SPBP
a.

Forms
LEA SPBP Form: The requesting LEA will complete, sign, and submit a LEA Significant
(1)
Public Benefit Parole Authorization Form (LEA SPBP Form)1 to the PHAB for review and
approval. A separate LEA SPBP Form must be completed for each alien for whom parole is
requested. The LEA SPBP Form must be signed by the requesting LEA.

(a)
Federal LEAs: Federal LEA field offices will submit requests for SPBP to their
headquarters POCs, who will review and certify that each SPBP Form is accurate and
complete, then forward the package to the PHAB for review and approval, or denial.
(b)
State and Local LEAs: The highest ranking official in the state or local LEA will sign and
submit an SPBP request (including re-paroles) for review and facilitation to the nearest ICE
SAC or Border Patrol Sector CPA in whose area of responsibility the state or local LEA
resides. Upon completion of the LEA SPBP Form, the ICE SAC or Border Patrol Sector CPA
will forward the LEA SPBP Form on behalf of the state or local LEA to the PHAB for review
and approval, or denial.
(2)
DHS Parole Tracking Form~ If approved, the PHAB will send the requesting LEA a DHS
Parole Tracking Form. This is used to inform the PHAB of the parolee's status. Refer to
Procedure VI.B.3.b (Reporting) for further instructions.

(3)

Form 1-512 (Authorization for Parole of an Alien Into the United States)

(a) Arriving at a Non-Land POE: If the parole is approved and the parolee will arrive at a
location other than a land border POE, the PHAB will coordinate with the U.S. Embassy or
Consulate to issue the Form 1-512 or boarding documents to the parolee overseas. A parolee
who obtains travel documents from an overseas office must depart for the United States
within 7 days of receiving the travel documents, or the travel documents will expire.
(b) Arriving at a Land POE: If the parole is approved and the parolee will arrive at a land
border POE (in these situations, the parolee is not issued a Form 1-512), the CBP/OFO
Officer will endorse the Form 1-94 with the "Parole" stamp upon the parolee's arrival at the
POE. If it is necessary for the parolee to enter and depart the United States frequently for
operational purposes during the authorized parole period, the PHAB may authorize multiple
paroles. If the PHAB authorizes multiple paroles, the PHAB will coordinate with the local field
office for the issuance ofa Form 1-512 to the parolee (e.g., verifying identity, attaching
photograph, etc.). Neither Form 1-131 (Application for Travel Document) nor a fee is required
for issuance of the Form 1-512.
b.
Record Checks: The requesting LEA will perform queries within its own information systems
and (b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
or each parolee.

c.
Fingerprints and photograph: The LEA will fingerprint (10 prints) and photograph the parolee.
The originals will be maintained in the LEA's local file and will be made available upon request to
DHS in circumstances such as a national security emergency or a case when the parolee absconds.
2.

Review and Action by PHAB
a.
Circulation and Concurrence: Upon receiving the LEA SPBP Form, the PHAB will review the
documentation for completeness and circulate the Notice of Request for SPBP to the designated
headquarters POCs of the principal Federal LEAs (the Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S.
Marshals Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, CBP, and ICE) and the National Security
Coordination Council at the Department of Justice (for informational purposes only). Concurrence
with or objection to paroles must be submitted in writing by the deadline specified on the Notice of
Request for SPBP (normally 5 working days) unless extended by the PHAB.
b.
Record Checks: The PHAB will perform the following required criminal history record checks
and immigration history and database queries for each parolee:
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

c.
Denial: In the case of denial, the LEA may request reconsideration by presenting new and/or
additional information in support of the original SPBP request.
d.
Conditions: The PHAB reserves the right to specify any conditions it deems appropriate for
authorization of parole. In certain instances (such as controversial witnesses or defendants), DHS
may issue a Form 1-247 (Immigration Detainer - Notice of Action), which requires that the parolee
be returned to DHS custody to ensure the parolee departs the United States.
e.
Notification to CBP/OFO: Upon approval of the parolee, the PHAB will submit an authorizing
memorandum, which will provide the name of the parolee, the designated POE, and expected date
of arrival to CBP/OFO headquarters, which will then notify the designated POE.
3.
Supervision of Parolees: The LEA will be responsible for supervising and monitoring the
whereabouts of the parolee while present in the United States and for ensuring his or her timely
departure from the United States in accordance with the parole authorization.
a.
Arrival: The LEA will coordinate the travel and arrival of the parolee at the designated POE.
CBP/OFO Officers will issue the parolee a Form 1-94 upon arrival. An officer from the LEA should,
generally, meet the parolee at the POE. The CBP/OFO Officer, upon the parolee's arrival at the
POE, will:

(1)

Review the Form 1-512 or boarding documents for accuracy, completeness, and signature.

(2)

Conducl up-la-dale record checks, if necessary.

other CBP systems.
(4)
Inform the authorizing official or the authorizing official's representative at the POE of any
issues, concerns, or additional detrimental information pertaining to the status of the parolee and
may consult with the PHAB to determine whether parole is still appropriate in light of this
additional information.

There is a change in any significant information previously provided.

c.
Benefits - Employment Authorization: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) is
responsible for the adjudication and production of benefit documents, such as the Employment
Authorization Document (EAD). CIS has agreed to process law enforcement sensitive requests for
benefits, such as an EAD related to SPBP, in a secure and expeditious fashion through their Fraud
Detection National Security (FDNS) Unit. In order to receive secure and expedited handling, field
offices should forward applications for benefits, such as Form 1-765 (Application for Employment
Authorization), to their headquarters POC (for federal agencies) or to the local ICE SAC Office (for
state and local agencies). The benefits application will then be forwarded to ICE Headquarters,

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

benefit document to the requesting LEA. In accordance with the CIS memorandum entitled, "New
Procedures for Issuance of Immigration BenefitslDocuments in Law Enforcement and National
Security Matters," dated December 19,2003, "the fee will ordinarily be waived [for the EAD] ... "

d.
Re-Parole (Extension): A request for re-parole should be submitted to the PHAB via a new LEA
SPBP Form 10-days before the expiration date of the parolee's authorized stay (unless the initial
parole was an emergency parole authorized pursuant to Procedure VI.B.6 ("Emergency Paroles")). A
re-parole may be granted in increments of up to 1 year each. If the re-parole is authorized, the PHAB
will refer the LEA to the appropriate field office to obtain a new Form 1-94. If the alien's parole has
expired, a new request for SPBP must be submitted to the PHAB and the parolee may be required
to depart the United States.
4.

Termination of Parole
a.
Decision: The PHAB may terminate the parole at any time. The PHAB will notify the LEA and all
appropriate parties in writing.
b.
Multiple Paroles: Parole terminates each time the parolee departs the United States (8 CFR
212.5(e)). The PHAB will notify by cable or memorandum the U.S. Embassy or Consulate overseas
and OFO headquarters of approved multiple advance paroles. For multiple advance paroles, a new
Form 1-94 will be issued at the POE to the parolee upon each arrival.
c.
Failure To Depart/Absconders: If the parole has terminated and the parolee has not departed
as required, the parolee will be treated as an absconder. The LEA will immediately submit a copy of
the DHS Parole Tracking Form to the PHAB. The PHAB will immediately perform the following:
(1)

Terminate the parole.

(2)
Initiate removal proceedings with ICE. ICE will be responsible for preparing a Notice To
Appear (NTA).
(3)
Provide all known information to the appropriate CBP and ICE field offices to help facilitate
his or her recovery.
6.
Emergency Paroles: The ICE SAC, Border Patrol CPA, or DFO may authorize an emergency
parole for 72 hours for informants or witnesses under exigent circumstances when the parole is
important to an investigation, a prosecution, or other activity deemed necessary to maintain public
safety. This authority should be exercised only when the LEA could not reasonably have requested the
parole in advance through the PHAB in accordance with this protocol. During this emergency 72-hour
parole, the parolee must remain in the custody of agents from the requesting LEA. The authorizing
official will submit copies of the LEA SPBP Form to the PHAB for tracking and vetting purposes. If the
parolee will arrive at a POE, then the authorizing official must coordinate the arrival with POE officials
(DFO or Port Director) having jurisdiction over the POE where the alien will arrive. If the parolee is
required to remain in the United States as an informant or a witness beyond the initial 72-hour period,
then a re-parole (extension) must be authorized and executed by the requesting LEA from the PHAB in
accordance with Procedure VI. B.4 ("Re-Parole (Extension")).

7.
Family Members: Paroles are temporary; therefore, family members should be paroled only under
extraordinary circumstances, such as legitimate physical threats to family members. The threat must be
clearly documented on the LEA SPBP Form.
8.
Fees: In general, all fees will be waived for a parole approved for significant public benefit. If the
parolee must depart and reenter the United States for personal reasons, the fees will not be waived.
However, the PHAB will make the final determination whether to charge or waive a fee.
9. Additional LEA Request: If another LEA desires the presence of the same alien, that LEA must
submit a new LEA SPBP Form to PHAB to initiate a new parole request pursuant to this protocol.
C.
Questions or Concerns Regarding the Process: Any questions or concerns regarding this protocol
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
or by fax at
should be addressed to the PHAB at (b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

et aI., v. Janet Reno

Jul 18 1997
Regional Directors

Office of the

District Directors

Deputy Commissioner

Chief Patrol Agents
Regional Counsel
Director of Training
GLYNCO

A settlement has been reached in a federal class action lawsuit involving the Immigration
and Naturalization Service's (INS) policies, practices, and regulations regarding the detention
and release of minors taken into INS custody. The settlement sets forth a nationwide policy for
the detention, release, and treatment of alien minors in the custody of the INS and supersedes
all previous INS policies that are inconsistent with the terms of this agreement. A copy of the
entire stipulated settlement is being sent to you by electronic mail from headquarters Detention
and Deportation Division (HQDDP)

As part of this settlement, INS agreed to provide appropriate guidance and training for
designated INS employees regarding the terms of this agreement. The national juvenile
coordinator in HQDDP has held "train the trainer" sessions for this purpose in all three regions.
A video explaining the Flores v. Reno settlement has been distributed to all of the participants in
the regional training sessions. All immigration officers who may come in contact with detained
alien minors must receive the training and view the video by July 17. Exhibit 2 of the settlement,
"Instructions to Service Officers Re: Processing, Treatment, and Placement of Alien Minors," is
attached and should be distributed to all INS officers in your jurisdiction immediately. It
explains the requirements of the settlement. This exhibit contains changes from the original
settlement document because of the enactment of the Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of
1996.
Lastly, Exhibit 4, also attached, is an agreement concerning facility visits by the plaintiffs.
All facilities in which INS houses juveniles should be given a copy of this agreement. The
agreement allows plaintiff's counsel to visit these facilities, observe conditions, and to interview
staff and alien minors. The Office of International Affairs, Humanitarian Affairs Branch, has
already notified the Headquarters of our contracted shelters.
Any questions regarding this national policy should be directed to (b) (6)

INSTRUCTIONS TO SERVICE OFFICERS RE:

uvenile

PROCESSING, TREATMENT, AND PLACEMENT OF MINORS

These instructions are to advise Service officers of INS policy regarding the way in which minors in INS custody are processed, housed
and released. These instructions are applicable nationwide and supersede all prior inconsistent instructions regarding minors.
(a) Minors. A minor is a person under the age of eighteen years. However, individuals who have been "emancipated" by a state court
or convicted and incarcerated for a criminal offense as an adult are not considered minors. Such individuals must be treated as adults
for all purposes, including confinement and release on bond.

Similarly, if a reasonable person would conclude that an individual is an adult despite his claims to be a minor, the INS shall treat such
person as an adult for all purposes, including confinement and release on bond or recognizance. The INS may require such an
individual to submit to a medical or dental examination conducted by a medical professional or to submit to other appropriate
procedures to verify his or her age. If the INS subsequently determines that such an individual is a minor, he or she will be treated as
a minor for all purposes.
(b)
General policy. The INS treats and will continue to treat minors with dignity, respect and special concern for their particular
vulnerability. INS policy is to place each detained minor in the least restrictive setting appropriate to the minor's age and special
needs, provided that such setting is consistent with the need to ensure the minor's timely appearance and to protect the minor s wellbeing and that of others. INS officers are not required to release a minor to any person or agency whom they have reason to believe
may harm or neglect the minor or fail to present him or her before the INS or the immigration courts when requested to do so.
(c)
Processing. The INS will expeditiously process minors and will provide a Form 1-770 notice of rights, including the right to a
bond redetermination hearing, if applicable.

Following arrest, the INS will hold minors in a facility that is safe and sanitary and that is consistent with the INS's concern for the
particular vulnerability of minors. Such facilities will have access to toilets and sinks, drinking water and food as appropriate, medical
assistance if the minor is in need of emergency services, adequate temperature control and ventilation, adequate supervision to
protect minors from others, and contact with family members who were arrested with the minor. The INS will separate unaccompanied
minors from unrelated adults whenever possible. Where such segregation is not immediately possible, an unaccompanied minor will
not be detained with an unrelated adult for more than 24 hours.
If the juvenile cannot be immediately released, and no licensed program (described below) is available to care for him, he should be
placed in an INS or INS-contract facility that has separate accommodations for minors, or in a State or county juvenile detention
facility that separates minors in INS custody from delinquent offenders. The INS will make every effort to ensure the safety and wellbeing of juveniles placed in these facilities.

(d)
Release. The INS will release minors from its custody without unnecessary delay, unless detention of a juvenile is required to
secure her timely appearance or to ensure the minor's safety or that of others. Minors shall be released, in the following order of
preference, to:

(i) a parent;
(ii) a legal guardian;
(iii) an adult relative (brother, sister, aunt, uncle, or grandparent);

(iv) an adult individual or entity designated by the parent or legal guardian as capable and willing to care for the minor's
well-being in (i) a declaration signed under penalty of perjury before an immigration or consular officer, or (ii) such other
documentation that establishes to the satisfaction of the INS, in its discretion, that the individual designating the
individual or entity as the minor's custodian is in fact the minor's parent or guardian;
(v) a state-licensed juvenile shelter, group home, or foster home willing to accept legal custody (as opposed to only
physical custody); or
(vi) an adult individual or entity seeking custody, in the discretion of the INS, when it appears that there is no other likely
alternative to long term detention and family reunification does not appear to be a reasonable possibility.
(e)
Certification of custodian. Before a minor is released, the custodian must execute an Affidavit of Support (Form 1-134) and
an agreement to:
(i) provide for the minor's physical, mental, and financial well-being;
(ii) ensure the minor's presence at all future proceedings before the INS and the immigration court;
(iii) notify the INS of any change of address within five (5) days following a move;
(iv) if the custodian is not a parent or legal guardian, not transfer custody of the minor to another party without the prior
written permission of the District Director;
(v) notify the INS at least five days prior to the custodian's departure from the United States, whether the departure is
voluntary or pursuant to a grant of voluntary departure or order of removal; and
(vi) if dependency proceedings involving the minor are initiated in state court, notify the INS of the initiation of such
proceedings and the dependency court of any removal proceedings pending against the minor.
In an emergency, a custodian may transfer temporary physical custody of a minor prior to securing permission from the INS, but must
notify the INS of the transfer as soon as is practicable, and in all cases within 72 hours. Examples of an "emergency" include the
serious illness of the custodian, destruction of the home, etc. In all cases where the custodian seeks written permission for a transfer,
the District Director shall promptly respond to the request.
The INS may terminate the custody arrangements and assume legal custody of any minor whose custodian fails to comply with the
agreement. However, custody arrangements will not be terminated for minor violations of the custodian's obligation to notify the INS
of any change of address within five days following a move.
(f) Suitability assessment. An INS officer may require a positive suitability assessment prior to releasing a minor to any individual
or program. A suitability assessment may include an investigation of the living conditions in which the minor is to be placed and the
standard of care he would receive, verification of identity and employment of the individuals offering support. interviews of members of
the household, and a home visit. The assessment will also take into consideration the wishes and concerns of the minor.

(9) Family reunification. Upon taking a minor into custody, the INS, or the licensed program in which the minor is placed, will
promptly attempt to reunite the minor with his or her family to permit the release of the minor under Paragraph (d) above. Such
efforts at family reunification will continue as long as the minor is in INS or licensed program custody and will be recorded by the INS
or the licensed program in which the minor is placed.
(h) Placement in licensed programs. A "licensed program" is any program, agency or organization licensed by an appropriate state

agency to provide residential, group, or foster care services for dependent children, including a program operating group homes, foster

Flores v. Reno Settlement Ag reement describes
the standards required of licensed programs. Juveniles who remain in INS custody must
be placed in a licensed program within three calendar days if the minor was apprehended
in an INS district in which a licensed program is located and has space available, or within
five calendar days in all other cases, except when:
homes, or facilities for special needs minors. Exhibit 1 of the

(i) the minor falls under Paragraph (i), "Secure and supervised detention," below;
(ii) the INS reasonably believes the alien is an adult and is conducting medical or dental examinations to determine age;
(iii) a court decree or court-approved settlement requires otherwise;
(Iv) an emergency (such as a natural disaster, fire, civil disturbance, or medical emergency) or influx of minors into the
United States (meaning the INS has more than 130 minors in custody) prevents compliance, in which case all minors should
be placed in licensed programs as expeditiously as possible; or
(v) the minor must be transported from remote areas for processing or speaks an unusual language such that a special
interpreter is required to process the minor, in which case the minor must be placed in a licensed program within five
business days.
(i) Secure and supervised detention. A minor may be held in or transferred to a State or county juvenile detention facility or in a
secure INS facility or INS-contracted facility having separate accommodations for minors, whenever the District Director or Chief Patrol
Agent determines that the minor _

(i) has been charged with, is chargeable, or has been convicted of a crime, or is the subject of delinquency proceedings, has
been adjudicated delinquent, or is chargeable with a delinquent act, unless the minor's offense is
(a) an isolated offense not within a pattern of criminal activity which did not involve violence against a person or the
use or carrying of a weapon (Examples: breaking and entering, vandalism, DUI. etc.); or
(b) a petty offense, which is not considered grounds for stricter means of detention in any case (Examples:
shoplifting, joy riding, disturbing the peace, etc.);
(ii) has committed, or has made credible threats to commit, a violent or malicious act (whether directed at himself or others)
while in INS legal custody or while in the presence of an INS officer;
(iii) has engaged, while in a licensed program, in conduct that has proven to be unacceptably disruptive of the normal
functioning of the licensed program in which he or she has been placed and removal is necessary to ensure the welfare of the
minor or others, as determined by the staff of the licensed program (Examples: drug or alcohol abuse, stealing, fighting,
intimidation of others, etc.);
(iv)

IS

an escape-risk; or

(v) must be held in a secure facility for his or her own safety, such as when the INS has reason to believe that a smuggler
would abduct or coerce a particular minor to secure payment of smuggling fees.

"Chargeable" means that the INS has probable cause to believe that the individual has committed a specified offense.

The term "escape-risk" means that there is a serious risk that the minor will attempt to escape from custody. Factors to consider when
determining whether a minor is an escape-risk or not include, but are not limited to, whether:
(a)

the minor is currently under a final order of removal;

(b) the minor's immigration history includes: a prior breach of a bond; a failure to appear before the
INS or the immigration court; evidence that the minor is indebted to organized smugglers for his
transport; or a voluntary departure or a previous removal from the United States pursuant to a final
order of removal;
(c)

the minor has previously absconded or attempted to abscond from INS custody.

The INS will not place a minor in a State or county juvenile detention facility, secure INS detention facility, or
secure INS-contracted facility if less restrictive alternatives are available and appropriate in the
circumstances, such as transfer to another licensed program or transfer to a medium security facility. A
"medium security facility"may have a secure perimeter but cannot have major internal restraining construction,
such as locked cells. A medium security facility must otherwise meet all the standards of a licensed program
and provide intensive staff supervision and counseling services.
All determinations to place a minor in a secure facility will be reviewed and approved by the regional Juvenile
Coordinator. INS officers must also provide any minor not placed in a licensed program with a written notice of
the reasons for housing the minor in a secure or medium security facility.
(j) Notice of right to bond redetermination and judicial review of placement. A minor in removal
proceedings shall be afforded a bond redetermination hearing before an immigration jUdge in every case,
unless the minor indicates on the Notice of Custody Determination form that he or she refuses such a hearing.
A juvenile who is not released or placed in a licensed program shall be provided (1) a written explanation of
the right of judicial review (copy attached) and (2) the list of free legal services providers compiled pursuant to
INS regulations (unless previously given to the minor).
(k) Transportation and transfer. Unaccompanied minors should not be transported in vehicles with detained
adults except when being transported from the place of arrest or apprehension to an INS office or where
separate transportation would be otherwise impractical, in which case minors shall be separated from adults.
INS officers shall take all necessary precautions for the protection of minors during transportation with adults.
When a minor is to be released, the INS will assist him or her in making transportation arrangements to the
INS office nearest the location of the person or facility to whom a minor is to be released. The INS may, in its

discretion, provide transportation to such minors.
Whenever a minor is transferred from one placement to another, she shall be transferred with all of her
possessions and legal papers; provided, however, that if the minor's possessions exceed the amount
permitted normally by the carrier in use, the possessions must be shipped to the minor in a timely manner. No
minor who is represented by counsel should be transferred without advance notice to counsel, except in
unusual and compelling circumstances such as where the safety of the minor or others is threatened or the
minor has been determined to be an escape-risk, or where counsel has waived notice, in which cases notice
must be provided to counsel within 24 hours following transfer.
(I) Periodic reporting. Statistical information on minors placed in proceedings who remain in INS custody for longer than 72 hours
must be reported to the Juvenile Coordinator by all INS district offices and Border Patrol stations. Information will include: (a)
biographical information, including the minor's name, date of birth, and country of birth, (b) date placed in INS custody, (c) each date
placed, removed or released, (d) to whom and where placed, transferred, removed or released, (e) immigration status, and (f) hearing
dates. INS officers should also inform the Juvenile Coordinator of the reasons for placing a minor in a medium-security facility or
detention facility as described in paragraph (i).
(m) Attorney-client visits by Plaintiffs' counsel. The INS will permit the lawyers for the Flores v. Reno plaintiff class to visit
minors, even though they may not have the names of minors who are housed at a particular location. A list of Plaintiffs' counsel
entitled to make attorney-client visits with minors is available from the district Juvenile Coordinator. Attorney-client visits may also be
conducted by any staff attorney employed by the Center for Human Rights & Constitutional Law of Los Angeles, California, or the
National Center for Youth Law of San Francisco, California, provided that such attorney presents credentials establishing his or her
employment prior to any visit.
Visits must occur in accordance with generally applicable policies and procedures relating to attorney-client visits at the facility in
question. Upon Plaintiffs' counsel's arrival at a facility for attorney-client visits, the facility staff must provide Plaintiffs' counsel with a
list of names and alien registration numbers for the minors housed at that facility. In all instances, in order to memorialize any visit to
a minor by Plaintiffs' counsel, Plaintiffs' counsel must file a notice of appearance with the INS prior to any attorney-client meeting.

in connection with his placement
or treatment during INS custody. Plaintiffs' counsel must submit a copy of the notice of
appearance by hand or by mail to the local INS juvenile coordinator and a copy by hand
to the staff of the facility.
Plaintiffs' counsel may limit the notice of appearance to representation of the minor

A minor may refuse to meet with Plaintiffs' counsel. Further, the minor's parent or legal guardian may deny Plaintiffs' counsel
permission to meet with the minor.
(n) Visits to licensed facilities. In addition to the attorney-client visits, Plaintiffs' counsel may request access to a licensed
program's facility (described in paragraph (h)) or to a medium-security facility or detention facility (described in paragraph (i)) in
which a minor has been placed. The district juvenile coordinator will convey the request to the facility's staff and coordinate the visit.
The rules and procedures to be followed in connection with such visits are set out in Exhibit 4 of the

Flores v. Reno

Settlement Agreement, unless Plaintiffs' counsel and the facility's staff agree otherwise.
In all visits to any facility, Plaintiffs' counsel and their associated experts must treat
minors and staff with courtesy and dignity and must not disrupt the normal functioning of

the facility.
EXHIBIT 4

AGREEMENT CONCERNING FACILITY VISITS UNDER PARAGRAPH

33

The purpose of facility visits under paragraph 33 is to interview class members and staff and to observe conditions at the
facility. Visits under paragraph 33 shall be conducted in accordance with the generally applicable policies and procedures of the facility
to the extent that those policies and procedures are consistent with this Exhibit.
Visits authorized under paragraph 33 shall be scheduled no less than seven (7) business days in advance. The names,
positions, credentials, and professional association (e.g., Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law) of the visitors will be
provided at that time.
All visits with class members shall take place during normal business hours.
No video recording equipment or cameras of any type shall be permitted. Audio recording equipment shall be limited to handheld tape recorders.
The number of visitors will not exceed six (6) or, in the case of a family foster home, four (4), including interpreters, in any
instance. Up to two (2) of the visitors may be non-attorney experts in juvenile justice and/or child welfare.
No visit will extend beyond three (3) hours per day in length. Visits shall minimize disruption to the routine that minors and
staff follow.

NOTICE OF RIGHT TO JUDICIAL REVIEW

The INS usually houses persons under the age of 18 in an open setting, such as a foster or group home, and not in detention facilities.
If you believe that you have not been properly placed or that you have been treated improperly, you may ask a federal judge to review
your case. You may call a lawyer to help you do this. If you cannot afford a lawyer, you may call one from the list of free legal services
given to you with this form.

Footnotes for Appendix 17-5

1/

The information about these organizations that is contained in the columns, "Active in Country or Region" and "Description of
Group" was derived and excerpted from the April 1997 Department of State document entitled, Patterns of Global Terrorism
1996. It is not intended to fully duplicate that document, which should be obtained and read in full for more exhaustive
information. Note that not all of the organizations contained in that document have been designated by the Secretary of
State. This Table is limited strictly to the designated organizations

2/

These organizations were designated by the Secretary of State pursuant to Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act,
by publication in the Federal Register on October 8, 1997 (see 62 FR 52650-01). They do not constitute a comprehensive
listing of organizations known or believed by the United States to have engaged in terrorism. However, the specific
designation of these particular grops under this provision of law renders their "representatives" and current "members"
subject to removal from the United States under immigration laws, whether or not they have engaged in specific terrorist
acts. The removal provisions became effective immediately upon publication of the list on October 8th ..

3/

There is also a National Liberation ("ELN") operating in Bolivia, otherwise known as the Netor Paz Zamora Commission ("CNPZ").
It is not at this time a Secretary of State - designated terrorist organization.

Appendix 22-1
Memorandum of Understanding Between U. S.
Customs Service and Immigration and Naturalization
Service
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN
U.S. CUSTOMS SERVICE
AND
IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE
The United States Customs Service of the Department of the Treasury and the Immigration and Naturalization
Service of the Department of Justice hereby enter into the following Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
A.

PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT
To promote mutual respect and support for the mission of each agency in the international air
passenger environment.

B.

AGREEMENT
The U.S. Customs Service (Customs) and the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) agree that
mutual cooperation in both policy and operational matters enhances both the facilitation and
enforcement objectives of each agency.
In order to encourage and ensure the continuation of the cooperative spirit and efforts of both
agencies, Customs and INS hereby agree that:

I. FACILITY PLANNING

The Federallnspeetion
Federal Inspection Services (FIS) agencies, which include Customs and INS, each have
clearly defined requirements for the design of airport facilities. However, in today's environment,
the operations of each agency are no longer as physically separate as they once were and it has
become necessary to approve designs of facilities in a cooperative manner. In light of this, it is
agreed that:
A national interagency group will be established to deal with the appropriate airport entity in a
unified manner regarding the planning, design, and construction of facilities.
facilities will only be approved which, through physical design, enable INS to control passengers
from their primary area to their secondary area, while at the same time, giving Customs ready
access to and view of the INS primary area.

Both Customs and INS must have ready access to the coordination center.
In single level facilities the coordination center must be located so that personnel have an
unobstructed view and ready access to the INS primary area without affecting either agency's
facility requirements. In two level facilities other means for coordination center access and
viewing capabilities between the two agencies must be established.

2. COORDINATION CENTER
The coordination center is a joint-use facility available to personnel from Customs and INS, as
well as other FIS agencies. The center serves as a central location point for the coordination of
the enforcement activities which link the agencies.

Customs and INS will staff the coordination center with a supervisor or lead inspector. It is
agreed that other issues regarding staffing and operation of the coordination center will remain
with each agency's local management.

agency's policy.
U. S. Customs and INS personnel retain the right to carry weapons throughout the airport
complex to the extent allowed by law and by regional and headquarters policy.

Bilateral Agreement (Added INS - TM2)

The "Agreement Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Canada on
Air Transport Preclearance" states:
The Government of the United States of America, and the Government of Canada,
Considering that preclearance facilitates air travel between the two countries and that it should be continued
(and established) for eligible flights at various locations in Canada and the United States, where the facilities
and other conditions are adequate to enable the United States and Canadian inspection agencies to carry out
their missions, in respect to the inspection of passengers and their possessions, aircraft crew, baggage and
aircraft stores entering the United States and Canada,
Agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
(a) "Preclearance" refers to the procedure of conducting in the territory of one of the Parties, inspections
required for entry/admission into the territory of the other Party.
(b) Flights eligible for preclearance are common carriage flights of large aircraft (as defined in Part 298 of the
U.S. Civil Aeronautics Board Economic Regulations, or the maximum authorized take-off weight on wheels of
35,000 pounds or more, or 30 seats or more) scheduled or charter, including ferry flights. Air taxi-type
operations, private flights, or state aircraft flights are not included.
(c) "Law enforcement officer" may include local peace officers as well as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
and law enforcement officers of federal agencies in the United States.
ARTICLE"

(a) The Parties agree that preclearance shall be continued at Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, and Vancouver,
and instituted at locations specified in Annex A to this Agreement in accordance with the following paragraph.
The preclearance program shall be extended to provide service in multiterminal complexes at such locations.
(b) The Parties further agree that preclearance will be instituted by Canada into cities in the United States or
by the United States into additional cities in Canada upon the concurrence of both Parties to that effect
expressed in writing.

ARTICLE III
Where preclearance exists in the territory of a Party, that Party shall:
(a) permit inspection agencies of the other Party to carry out preclearance of passengers and their
possessions, aircraft, crew, baggage and aircraft stores destined to the territory of the inspecting Party and, in
this context, permit such inspection agencies to determine the procedures under which the inspections will be
carried out and the utilization of manpower;
(b) provide at each preclearance location facilities acceptable to the other Party's inspection agencies as
defined in Annexes B or C, as appropriate, to this Agreement;
(c) permit the installation and operation by the other Party of such communications and other modern
inspection aids as it requires;
(d) provide appropriate law enforcement assistance to the other Party's inspectors including inter alia, upon
request of the other Party's inspection officer:
(i) search by a law enforcement officer of the territory where inspection takes place of any person and his
effects which are subject to preclearance in accordance with the Agreement if, under the law of the
country in which preclearance takes place, that law enforcement officer has authority and sufficient
grounds to believe that the person to be searched is seeking to carry into the other country
merchandise or other articles the possession of which constitutes an offense under the law of the
country in which preclearance takes place;
(ii) search by a law enforcement officer of any accomplice or abettor of a person searched for reasons and
under the conditions specified in paragraph (i) above;
(iii) if a search, conducted pursuant to paragraph (d)(i) and (ii) above, discloses merchandise or other
articles the possession of which constitutes an offense under the law of the territory in which
preclearance takes place, take whatever steps would have ordinarily been taken if the articles or
merchandise would have been found under circumstances unrelated to preclearance;

(e) wherever possible, conduct searches under Article III paragraph (d) in the presence of the other Party's
inspection officer. When a person refuses to submit to search, such person shall not be permitted to board a
precleared flight.
ARTICLE IV
The Party conducting preclearance shall:
(a) provide a sufficient number of inspectors to carry out with reasonable speed and efficiency preclearance of
passengers and their possessions, crew, baggage and aircraft stores on eligible flights of carriers to which
preclearance has been extended in accordance with Article VI;
(b) have its inspection agencies consult with the airport manager, the appropriate authorities of the other Party
and with the air carriers concerned in the implementation of this Agreement;
(c) have the prerogative to require post-clearance as it deems necessary of any aircraft, passenger or
passengers and their possessions on any flight that has been precleared. Any flight that is diverted or
required to be post-cleared shall be given preferential treatment for the purpose of post-clearance inspection;
(d) in any case where required under its law and in particular where there is likely to be commingling of
cleared and uncleared passengers or baggage, have the right to deny preclearance.
ARTICLE V
Each Party agrees to take all appropriate steps to protect:
(a) the facilities and premises used by the other Party in preclearance against any intrusion or damage and to
prevent any disturbance of the peace on the premises; and,
(b) the official archives and documents maintained by the inspection agencies.
ARTICLE VI
Preclearance being a facilitation procedure, the Parties agree that each air carrier should have the option to
use either preclearance or post-clearance subject to the following conditions:
(a) If an air carrier applies for preclearance, it shall use the procedures for all of its flights on a given route.
Ordinarily, three months notice to the appropriate inspectional agencies will be sufficient at locations where
other routes or carriers are being pre cleared; however, the inspection agencies may require an additional
reasonable delay before compliance in order to obtain or reduce personnel or facilities required by the

anticipated change in service.
(b) An air carrier desiring to withdraw entirely from preclearance at any location must give twelve months
notice to both Parties, but if neither Party objects, it may withdraw sooner. To withdraw from preclearance
only in respect to one or more eligible routes, the inspection agencies may require reasonable notice.
(c) Inspection agencies may decline to conduct pre-clearance on any carrier until that carrier has filed tariffs
acceptable to the appropriate government regulatory agency permitting the carrier to deny carriage to anyone
failing to submit to a preclearance inspection and to anyone who, having submitted to such inspection, is
found ineligible by inspection agencies to board a precleared flight.
ARTICLE VII

Except as may be agreed by the Parties and included in Annex A, the cost of preclearance shall be allocated
in accordance with the following principles:
(a) Neither the Party in whose territory inspection is conducted nor the airport authorities shall be responsible
for additional cost attributable to preclearance facilities and either or both as appropriate shall be
compensated for space used for preclearance;
(b) The inspecting Party shall be responsible for the normal cost of its inspection personnel;
(c) Any charges upon air carriers related to preclearance shall be based on participation at a particular airport
location and shall be assessed in an equitable and non-discriminatory manner.
ARTICLE VIII

The inspecting Party may extend the application of any of its customs, immigration, agriculture and public
health laws and regulations to aircraft, passengers, aircraft crew, baggage, cargo and aircraft stores in the
territory of the other Party which are subject to preclearance to the extent consistent with the law of the
country in which the inspection takes place.
ARTICLE IX

Either Party may at any time request in writing consultations concerning the interpretation, application and
modification of this Agreement and of its Annexes. Such consultations shall begin within 60 days from the
date on which such request is received by the other Party.
ARTICLE X

This Agreement together with its Annexes shall into force on the date of signature. Thereafter it shall continue

to be in force unless terminated by either Party giving one year's notice in writing to the other Party.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned, duly authorized by their respective Governments, have signed the
present Agreement.
DONE in duplicate at Ottawa in the English and French languages, both versions being equally authentic, this
8th day of May, 1974.

ANNEX C

UNITED STATES INSPECTION AGENCIES GUIDELINES
FOR A PRECLEARANCE FACILITY

INTRODUCTION
When planning a preclearance facility, sufficient space must be provided to allow the Federallnspectional
Agencies (FIA) to conduct their examinations effectively, and ensure the sterility of the precleared passenger
to be preserved from the point of examination until boarding the aircraft. Airport planners are urged to work
closely with the FIA during all stages of planning and development to ensure maximum utilization of all areas
of the facility.
Below are general descriptions of the FIA space and equipment requirements for a preclearance
operation.
(1) INSPECTION AREA
The inspection area must have sufficient space for the number of inspection counters required to process
passengers in an orderly and expeditious manner. In determining this space, the following dimensions should
be kept in mine:
Immigration inspection booths are usually 25 feet square with a 3 foot outside aisle. Customs baggage
inspection counters are approximately 25 feet long and 2 feet 8 inches wide. Counters are paired, and form a
rectangle with the inspector's work station (Which houses the CRT equipment) at one end and the
communications printer at the other. There should be 5 foot aisles on both sides of the counters.
Specifications and technical drawings for the inspector work station and the baggage inspection counters are
available from the inspectional agencies upon request.
To minimize confusion and congestion in the inspection area, it is recommended that a 40 foot queue
space be provided for the Immigration inspection booths and that a 30 foot queue be provided between
Immigration inspection booths and Customs baggage counters. (A schematic drawing is attached.)

Under normal conditions, the Immigration Service can process approximately 50 passengers per hour per
booth and Customs can process approximately 100- 120 passengers per hour through each set of inspection
counters.
(2) STERILE AREA
A sterile area large enough to accommodate the anticipated per-hour passenger load must be provided
contiguous to the FIA passenger processing area. A minimum of 10 square feet per passenger is
recommended.
Public toilet facilities should be provided in the sterile hold room area and must be constructed to maintain
the sterility by precluding contact with noncleared passengers and the general public.
(3) BAGGAGE
A very important part of the preclearance operations is the baggage handling following the inspection.
Provisions must be made for passengers' "hold baggage" to proceed under sterile conditions from the
baggage inspection area directly to a sterile baggage make-up area. A sterile hold area of sufficient size to
accommodate the preexamined baggage must also be provided. With adequate planning, most problems with
the baggage handling requirements can be overcome.
(4) INSPECTOR WORK STATIONS
Two inspector work stations must be provided for each set of baggage inspection counters. The forward
work station must be constructed to house a CRT unit, and the rear work station must accommodate a small
ADP printer. The CRT unit and ADP printer are inspectional aids used to expedite the processing of
passengers. Specifications and detailed drawings for these stations are available from the United States
Customs Service upon request.
(5) SEARCH ROOMS
As a part of the inspection process, it is sometimes necessary to require passengers to submit to a more
thorough examination than is given the average traveller. Therefore, search rooms are required in or
immediately adjacent to the inspectional area. A minimum of two search rooms is necessary, and locations
with heavy passenger traffic may require additional search rooms. Search rooms should contain at least 80
square feet of space and should have a corner bench and a shelf, with coat hooks, permanently affixed to the
structure.
(6) CASHIER'S OFFICE

The need for a cashier's office at a particular preclearance facility will depend upon the number of dutiable
declarations filed at the location. When a cashier's office is required, it should have at least 80 square feet and
should be constructed of a material that will deter unlawful entry.
(7) OFFICE SPACE
The FIA will require adequate office space for supervisory and clerical support personnel as follows. The
officers-in-charge of the Customs, the Immigration and the Agriculture Services will each require offices of
350 square feet, which will also accommodate their clerical support staffs. In addition, the Customs floor
supervisory officer on duty requires an office of 120-150 feet located in the inspection area, where he will
provide direct supervision of the operation. At least three Immigration interview rooms, approximately 120
square feet each, located in the immediate vicinity of the inspection area are required and the Agriculture
Service will require a work office of approximately 150 square feet for laboratory and scientific study and
analysis.
(8) FEDERAL INSPECTIONAL AGENCY EMPLOYEE FACILITIES
Each preclearance facility must include, as a minimum, the following employee amenities:
a. separate toilet facilities for male and female inspeetional personnel. Each toilet facility should have an
adjacent locker room whose size and number of showers will depend on the number of inspectional personnel
assigned;
b. a combination employee lounge and lunch room large enough to accommodate the FIA personnel
assigned to duty at that location;
c. parking facilities for staff.
(9) GENERAL
Each preclearance facility should provide for passenger convenience such items as: (a) central climatic
control devices for heating and air conditioning; (b) adequate seating to accommodate the precleared
passenger; and (c)maintenance and janitorial services in the preclearance area to ensure public acceptance.
******

ANNEX D

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR DORVAL

In redeveloping the Montreal International Airport (DORVAL), when the international air carriers have been
relocated in MIRABEL, the following requirements will be included in a revised U.S. Federal Inspection
Agencies (FIA) area.
1. A one-stop FIA centralized processing area with preservation of the respective airline independent
checkin.
2. Provision of mechanized baggage transfer of tagged baggage from airline counters to the vicinity of the
FIA location; claim and transfer to the inspection position to be done by the passenger. Processed baggage
shall then be transferred secure from sorting and makeup.
3. Accommodation in the FIA centralized area will be to U.S. Government standards including: customs
inspection counters, queuing space, search rooms, supervisory offices, cashier accomodations, immigration
inspection booths, public toilets.
4. The accommodation shall be such as to permit the secure use of electronic aids with appropriate
provision for any necessary equipment rooms.
5. Processed passengers will be afforded the necessary convenience in accomodations so as to protect
the sterility requirements and preclude the need for secondary examination prior to boarding.
6. Associated facilities shall be provided including clerical support accommodation, lunch room, locker
rooms, vehicle parking, staff toilets and lounges.

The Government of the United States of America and the Government of Bermuda;

Considering that preclearance, the procedure of conducting in Bermuda inspection by United States
inspection agencies required for entry into the United States of passengers destined nonstop to the United
States on flights of aircraft, facilitates travel between the two countries; and
Considering that the laws of the two countries in respect to merchandise or articles the entry of which is
prohibited are sufficiently similar to enable U.S. inspection agencies to carry out their missions, subject to
provision of facilities adequate to enable them to use their manpower efficiently and to insure proper security
safeguards for passengers, aircraft, crew, baggage and aircraft stores entering the United States;
Agree as follows:
Article I

The Government of Bermuda shall:
(a) Permit United States inspectors to carry out preclearance of passengers, aircraft, crew, baggage and
aircraft stores destined non-stop to the United States.
(b) Provide the following facilities as set forth in the Annex to this Agreement in accordance with the
indicated time schedule:
(i) by August 1, 1974 the interim facility; and
(ii) by February 28, 1977 the permanent facility.
(c) Permit the installation and operation of such communications and other modern inspection aids as
required by the United States inspection agencies.
(d) Furnish appropriate law enforcement assistance to the United States inspectors, including, upon
request of a United States inspector, search by a Bermudan law enforcement officer in the presence of a
United States inspection officer of any person subject to preclearance in accordance with this Agreement to
determine if such person is seeking to carry into the United States:
(i) anything the possession of which is prohibited under the law of Bermuda; or
(ii) documents relevant to his immigration status which are fraudulent or misused.
Further, the Bermudan law enforcement officer, if so requested by a United States inspector, shall prevent
such person from boarding an aircraft destined for the United States. If it appears that there is at the airport an
accomplice who is assisting such a person, and that he may have in his possession something falling in the
categories described in (i) or (ii) above, such accomplice shall also be sUbject to search if such search is

requested by the United States inspector.
(e) Upon the request of a United States inspection agency:
(i) seize and confiscate articles or merchandise if such articles or merchandise are falsely declared or
not declared at the time of time preclearance and if the possession or exportation of such articles or
merchandise is prohibited under the laws of Bermuda; or
(ii) if possession or exportation of such articles or merchandise falsely declared or not declared is not
prohibited under the laws of Bermuda, submit to prosecution within its Constitutional authority the allege
offender for knowingly making a false declaration.
(f) In coordination and cooperation with the United States Government, seek to add to the articles
prohibited for possession or exportation as may be deemed necessary and, if required by the exigencies of
the then applicable situation, seek such other legal sanctions as may be deemed desirable.
(g) Grant to all United States citizen employees of the Government of the United States of America
assigned to duties in Bermuda in connection with the Agreement, and their families, the same privileges and
immunities as are accorded to administrative and technical personnel of a diplomatic mission or the families of
such personnel, respectively, under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, as given effect in
the Consular Relations Act, 1977, of the Government of Bermuda.
(h) Permit the United States inspection agencies to determine procedures for carrying out inspections and
utilization of their manpower.
Article II

The Government of the United States shall:
(a) Provide sufficient inspectors to carry out preclearance of all passengers, crew, baggage and aircraft
stores on flights of aircraft (scheduled or charter) in air transportation as defined in the United States Federal
Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, destined nonstop to the United States with reasonable speed and
efficiency and with care to avoid undue inconvenience to travelers from Bermuda to the United States.
(b) Conduct preclearance under this procedure unless the officers in charge of the United States federal
inspection agencies after consultation with the Bermudan authorities and the air carriers concerned determine
that adequate manpower is not available or that the accumulation of passengers will overtax the facilities. It is
anticipated that the facilities will accommodate up to 700 passengers per hour under normal circumstances. If,
after such consultation, it is necessary for United States inspection agencies to require post-clearance on

arrival in the United States instead of, or in addition to, preclearance in Bermuda, the United States inspection
agencies will select flights for such post- clearance on a reasonable and non-discriminatory basis.
Article III

It is understood that the United States may extend the application of any of its customs, immigration,
agriculture, and public health laws and regulations to aircraft, passengers, aircraft crew, baggage, cargo and
aircraft stores in Bermuda which are subject to preclearance, for the purpose of establishing and enforcing
penalties for violations of these laws and regulations upon arrival in the United States.
Article IV

Any person wishing to defer United States Customs inspection until his arrival in the United States may do
so either (a) by traveling on any post-cleared flight or (b) by sending his luggage as unaccompanied baggage
to any port of entry in the United States where there are full customs facilities, and submitting his person and
carried on items to preclearance procedures.
Article V

Either Government may at any time request consultations concerning the interpretation, application, or
amendment of this Agreement, including the Facilities Annex attached thereto. Such consultations shall begin
within 60 days from the date the other Government receives the request.
Article VI

This agreement shall enter into force upon signature. It shall remain in force for eight years and shall
continue in force thereafter until terminated as provided herein. Either party may, by giving one year's written
notice, terminate this Agreement at the end of the initial eight year period or at any time thereafter.
Done in duplicate at Hamilton, Bermuda this 15th day of January 1974.

Appendix 26-1
Memorandum of Understanding (On Advance
Passenger Information Entry Facilitation Trials)
(Added INS - TM2)
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

(On Advance Passenger Information Entry
Facilitation Trials)
BETWEEN

THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA
acting through the Department of Immigration,
Local Government and Ethnic Affairs (DILGEA)
AND

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IMMIGRATION
AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE (INS)
A.

OBJECTIVES OF THIS MEMORANDUM
1,1

B.

The objective of Advance Passenger Information (API) is to reduce on-arrival formalities for
passengers by collecting immigration clearance data at the point of departure, rather
than the point of entry. Upon arrival, API flights will face reduced clearance times, all the
necessary checking against law enforcement indices having already been completed.

THE UNDERSTANDING

1.2

DLIGEA and INS agree to conduct joint trials of API in two phases. Phase 1 will test systems to
facilitate the entry processing of passengers on selected United States-bound flights.
Phase 2 will test systems to facilitate the entry of passengers on direct Los AngelesSydney flights, operated by Qantas Airways.

1.3

DILGEA will be responsible for liaising with all Australian agencies with an interest in the trials (for
example, the Australian Customs SeNice and Federal Airports Corporation): likewise,
INS will be responsible for liaising with appropriate United States agencies.

PHASE 1 - UNITED STATES-BOUND FLIGHTS

2.1

At Australian ports of departure, as passengers pass through immigration control, their personal
particulars (name, date of birth, citizenship and travel document number) will be
collected and recorded on DILGEA databases. Stickers will be placed on passengers'
travel documents to help U.S. authorities identify them as API passengers.

2.2

Data on cleared flights will be extracted from the DILGEA TRIPS system - after the flights have
closed - and transmitted to the United States to be recorded on the Interagency Border
Inspection System (IBIS). Under normal circumstances, transmission will take place
within one hour of the flight's departure. To the extent that this data relates to United
States citizens and lawful permanent residents, INS will ensure that it is maintained in
compliance with the Privacy Act, 5 United States Code 552(a). The system of records of
which the data will be part is an inter-agency system maintained by the United States
Customs SeNice.

2.3

The data transmitted from Australia will be used by INS and other U.S. inspection agencies to
complete appropriate data analysis before designated flights arrive. INS will facilitate
inspection of API flights by processing passengers through INS "Blue Lane"
arrangements.

PHASE 2 - AUSTRALIA-BOUND FLIGHTS

3.1

Passengers will present their passports and visas for processing by Australian Consulate-General
staff at one of three points - the Qantas First Class Lounge, Business Class Lounge, or
the departure gate. Their travel documents will be read by a passporUvisa reader and
the data checked against Australian warning lists.

3.2

Passengers cleared for entry will have their passports stamped in accordance with the pre-clearance

provisions of the Migration Act of 1958 as amended (the Act) and then board the flight.
3.3

The data on such passengers will then be transmitted to DILGEA databases in Canberra, within an
hour of the flight's departure. The flight may be declared a pre-cleared flight for the
purposes of Sections 17 and 19 of the Act.

3.4

The data received from the United States will be checked, again, against warning lists and the visa
file by DILGEA and made available to other agencies to facilitate Customs, health,
quarantine and security clearance.

3.5

No immigration processing will be necessary when the cleared flight arrives in Australia, and
passengers will be free to proceed directly to baggage claim for streamlined Customs,
health, quarantine and security processing.

TERMS OF IMPLEMENTATION

4.1

Formal transmission of Advance Passenger Information under Phase 1 will commence from
signature of this Memorandum and following Ministerial approval and publication of
arrangements in the Commonwealth Gazette as required by Migration Regulation 148A.
Phase 2 will commence in a subsequent stage on a subsequent date agreed upon
between DILGEA and INS.

PERIOD OF THE UNDERSTANDING

5.1

The understanding contained in this document will be operative in respect of both Phase 1 and
Phase 2 for a period agreed upon between the participants.

EVALUATION OF TRIALS AND FUTURE ARRANGEMENTS

6.1

At the conclusion of both phases of the trials,
jointly, the effectiveness of API.
effectiveness of entry facilitation,
involvement of other agencies, and

DILGEA and INS will evaluate, independently and
The evaluation process will have regard to the
administrative performance, systems performance,
resource implications.

6.2

If, following the evaluation process, both participants agree that API should continue, the terms of an
ongoing arrangement will be negotiated between them. Consideration will be given to
the feasibility of INS officers acting as DILGEA's agents for southbound clearance and
to DILGEA officers acting as INS' agents for northbound clearance.

Memorandum of Understanding (Added INS - TM2)
ADVANCE PASSENGER INFORMATION SYSTEM
Memorandum of Understanding
This Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is made
voluntarily between (hereafter referred to as "the Provider") and the United States Government Border
Inspection Agencies, consisting of the United States Customs Service (USCS), the United States Immigration
and Naturalization Service (INS), and the United States Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
(hereafter referred to collectively as "the Government").
It is understood and agreed by the partjes that this MOU is not intended to be legally enforceable by either
party. No claims, liabilities, or rights shall arise from or with respect to this MOU except as provided for by
Federal statute or the Code of Federal Regulations. All terms of this MOU are subject to applicable local
laws.
Both the Provider and the Government agree to work toward the mutual goal of enhancing the APIS program.
The Provider will accomplish this through the provision of accurate, timely, and complete data. The Provider
and Government are committed to work in a cooperative and coordinated spirit, with the ultimate goal being
that, while maintaining effective enforcement, statutory and regulatory operations, in the normal course of
actions, for all APIS flights complying with the provisions of this MOU, all passengers requiring only primary
inspection will be processed and cleared through the Government inspection facility exit within 30 minutes of
entry of the first passenger into the FIS arrivals area. The Government and Provider further agree that in order
to meet processing goal times, appropriate staffing levels must be maintained at the airport of arrival.
This MOU will be effective upon signature of an appropriate representative of the Provider and one
Government representative, on behalf of all three inspection agencies. This MOU will remain in effect for a
period of three (3) years unless terminated or extended by mutual agreement of the Provider and the

Government.

paragraphs 1.1 - 1.7 and 2.1 - 2.6 on the required dates will be designated as Blue Lane eligible
flights.

3.2

As of April 1, 1998, the Government agrees to eliminate the requirement that APIS passengers be in
possession of Blue Lane stickers on their travel documents.

3.3

The Government agrees, as a goal, in the normal course of actions, while maintaining effective
enforcement and regulatory operations, to complete ALL clearance of properly manifested
passengers* requiring not more than a primary inspection, within the following processing times:
Beginning Not Later Than:

Processing Goal Times Will Be:

January 1, 1999

40 Minutes

October 1, 1999

35 Minutes

April 1, 2000

30 Minutes

*Provided that the passengers arrive on a flight that is designated as Blue Lane eligible.
The normal course of actions means that API has been collected at the last foreign port of embarkation,
transmitted, processed and posted to the airport of arrival in advance of the flight; that all passengers
deplane and proceed to the inspection area in a continuous fashion; and that checked baggage is
delivered in a timely manner to the facility.
Processing cycle time will begin with first passenger entry into the FIS arrivals area and will end
with last passenger, requiring only primary inspection, through the facility exit.
The Government agrees that in order to meet processing goal times, appropriate staffing levels must be
maintained at the airports of arrival.

304

The Government will develop operational plans to improve primary lane segregation and queuing in

order to further the facilitation of Blue Lane eligible flights.
3.5

The Government will further develop systems for electronic, automated primary inspection (INSPASS),
incorporating APIS data, MRTD's, and biometrics, for use by pre-enrolled passengers.

3.6

The Government will develop operational plans to further improve the primary inspection process
through the consolidation or elimination of certain tasks that do not diminish the integrity of the
inspections process.

3.7

The Government agrees to work with the local airport authority to provide preferential baggage carousel
assignments to APIS Blue Lane eligible flights, whenever operationally feasible. Preferential carousels
are determined by the Provider's local representative.

3.8

The Government agrees that greater resources for flight clearance will be provided to APIS Blue Lane
eligible flights over non-APIS Blue Lane eligible flights, but will continue to insure that all passengers
arriving on non-APIS Blue Lane eligible flights are processed within Congressionally mandated times.

3.9

The Government agrees to work toward increasing the use of APIS data to begin the inspection and
clearance process in-advance of the arrival of the flight, through a system of advance name checks,
targeting analysis, and risk assessment.

3.10

The Government agrees to provide necessary MRTD readers on a no-fee loan basis, that allows for
efficient APIS data collection. The Government will use the current procurement regulations to select a
vendor(s) that will provide a high quality reader, with the capability for technology upgrades. The
Government will explore funding and procurement mechanisms in an effort to proVide additional
equipment to the Provider, on a no-fee loan basis, that will further assist with the use of the MRTD
readers on airline and common use check-in systems, as well as with APIS data collection.

3.11

The Government will develop and test processes, based upon the provision of accurate and complete
APIS data, that permit the direct transfer of checked baggage that is in-transit through the United
States on a low-risk Blue Lane eligible flight to a non-U.S. port. If testing is successful, implementation
of "in- transit baggage bypass" will take place.

3.12

The Government will develop and test systems, based upon the provision of accurate and complete
APIS data, to make certain paper forms available via electronic means. If testing is successful,
implementation of "electronic forms" will take place.

3,13

The Government will develop and test, based upon the provision of accurate and complete APIS data,
an electronic, "self-declaration" secondary, that will allow low-risk APIS passengers to complete
routine baggage related clearance requirements using an automated system. If testing is successful,

4.1

A deficiency will be defined as: Any passenger data element that prevents the system from performing
a valid query or causes an inspector to modify any data element that does not match the data
recorded on the passenger's travel document (if required), or any passenger for whom no API record
has been transmitted, or any API record(s), other than duplicate records, transmitted in excess of the
total number of travelers disembarking at the U.S. destination POE.

4.2

Deficiencies will not be assigned to records that can be automatically corrected (modified) by the APIS
mainframe software prior to performing a name check.

4.6

Deficiencies will not be assigned to duplicate records, provided that a valid query can be conducted with
one record.

4.7
4.7

Sufficiency rates will be calculated on a flight-by-flight basis, using a weekly average (7 days data).

4.8
4.8

The Government will make available to the Provider, upon request, a comprehensive carrier
performance report showing, for each APIS flight, the percentage of passengers with APIS data and
the data accuracy level. This performance report for all APIS flights arriving at U.S. gateways will be
available to the Provider at any local airport on a daily (not sooner than two (2) hours after block time),
weekly, or monthly basis. The Government will work toward improving reporting mechanisms through
the exploration of an on-line data sufficiency report accessible by air carrier representatives.

5.

ADMINISTRATION:

5.1

The Provider will designate a national APIS coordinator, in writing, within thirty (30) days of signing this
MOU. As a minimum, the name, title, address, telephone number, facsimile number, and SITA address
will be provided.

5.2

The INS Assistant Commissioner, Inspections, is the official Government administrator of this MOU.
However, the Government (by agency) will designate national APIS coordinators for day-to-day
administration of the MOU, as well as field APIS coordinators responsible for resolution of local day-today compliance.

5.3

The Government port directors will jointly administer the provisions of this MOU at the local level using
eXisting joint management mechanisms such as port quality improvement committees.

5.4

The Provider will designate a local APIS coordinator for each airport served, in writing, within thirty (30)
days of signing this MOU. Notice will be given to the local agency port directors, and will contain the
name, title, telephone number, and facsimile number of the coordinator.

5.5

The Government will designate local APIS coordinators for each agency. Where no designation is
specified, the local port director will be the coordinator.

5.6

The Provider will give 30 days advance notice, where possible, for the addition or deletion of a flight in
the APIS program. Such notification will be made through the local APIS coordinators to the local INS
port director who will then coordinate the request.

6.

PERFORMANCE:

6.1

For flights that fail to meet the performance levels stated in paragraphs 1.1 - 1.7 and 2.1 - 2.6, Providers
will be given written notice by the INS port director, which will include examples (data accuracy
reports) of deficient performance.

602

The Government will work with Providers, when necessary, to correct deficiencies.

6.3

Sixty (60) days after the written notice, any flight that has not improved to the minimum current
performance levels in paragraphs 1.1 - 1.7 and 2.1 - 2.6, will be removed from Blue Lane eligible
status.

6.4 Reinstatement of non-performing flights can be accomplished after the Provider gives written notice to
the local INS port director. The written notice will outline the problem and measures taken to correct the
problem. Reinstatement is contingent upon the flight meeting minimum current performance levels in
paragraphs 1.1 - 1.7 and 2.1 - 2.6.

The Provider or Government can terminate the MOU with sixty (60) days written notice to/from the
Assistant Commissioner, Inspections, INS Headquarters.

Name
Address
Dear Mr./Ms. - - - - This is in reference to your letter of DATE OF LETTER in which you request that the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) review the inclusion of Mr./Ms.
in the lookout system.
The lookout database is considered a law enforcement system of records of which the INS is not the sole
proprietor. The records to which INS officers have access during the inspection process may include entries
made by law enforcement and government agencies other than the INS. As a practice, the INS neither
confirms nor denies an individual's presence in these records, as so doing could interfere with or allow
circumvention of enforcement activities. The INS will acknowledge, however, if a file exists that contains
evidence that a person is prima facie excludable from the United States.
Each applicant for admission is subject to a complete inspection upon each arrival in the United States,
notwithstanding his/her presence or absence in any lookout system maintained by the INS or any other
agency. No one is permitted to enter the United States until the examining immigration officer is satisfied that
the individual is either a citizen of the United States or an alien who is admissible to the United States. The
applicant bears the burden of proof of establishing admissibility.
The information that you have provided has been taken under consideration. Any changes to the database
deemed necessary by and within the control of the INS have been made. Since the lookout system is

generated from a multi-agency database, the INS may take the liberty of forwarding your inquiry to another
agency for further review, if appropriate. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
Sincerely,
District Director

Dear Mr.lMs.:
This is in reference to your letter of DATE OF LETTER in which you request that the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) review the inclusion of Mr.lMs.
in the lookout system.
The lookout database is considered a law enforcement system of records of which the INS is not the sole
proprietor. The records to which INS officers have access during the inspection process may include entries
made by law enforcement and government agencies other than the INS. As a practice, the INS neither
confirms nor denies an individual's presence in these records, as so doing could interfere with or allow
circumvention of enforcement activities. The INS will acknowledge, however, if a file exists that contains
evidence that a person is prima facie inadmissible from the United States.
In the present case, our records indicate that Mr.lMs.
is amenable to removal under Section 212(a)
_ _ _ _ of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) in that STATE BASIS FOR INADMISSIBILITY.
Mr.lMs.
may apply for a waiver of these inadmissibility grounds at the American Consulate in
XXXXX, pursuant to INA Section 212(d)(3). Alternatively, Mr.lMs.
may contest the basis for
inadmissibility before an Immigration Judge by requesting a hearing at the time of application for admission to
the United States. At that time he/she will be placed in removal proceedings.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

Dear Mr.lMs.

This is in reply to your letter of DATE OF LETTER, regarding your request to remove your client's name from
the lookout system of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).
The lookout system which we maintain is considered a law enforcement system of records. As a practice, we
neither confirm nor deny any individual's presence on the list as so doing could interfere with, or circumvent
enforcement procedures. However, Section 601 (c) of the Immigration Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-649)
allows us to disclose the pertinent content of a record that indicates that grounds already exist to support
removal proceedings against your client. Found was a historical record of this removal from the United States
for attempted entry by fraud or misrepresentation. Based on the documentation you provided, that Mr.
_____was granted a waiver of this ground for inadmissibility, the record has been removed.
Every applicant-for-admission is subject to a complete inspection on each arrival in the United States,
notwithstanding his/her presence or absence on any watch list maintained by the INS or any other agency. No
one may enter the United States until he/she has satisfied the examining Immigration Officer that he/she is
either a citizen of the United States or an alien who has overcome all grounds for inadmissibility. The
applicant bears the burden of proof of establishing admissibility.
Rest assured that we have carefully considered the information that you have provided and we have made
any changes to our database deemed necessary. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

Text of letter from Department of State to
Persons listed in their lookout System
TEXT OF LETTER FROM DEPARTMENT OF STATE TO PERSONS LISTED IN THEIR LOOKOUT
SYSTEM
United States Department of State
Washington, D.C. 20520

[SEAL]

9/27/00

Dear Sir/Madam:
Regarding: Consular Lookout and Support System, information and instructions

The Department of State maintains a computerized lookout system, the Consular Lookout and Support System (CLASS). As part of
our efforts to assist in the administration of U.S. law, selected portions of the databases are shared with other government agencies
for the use of port of entry inspection personnel. Every effort is made to ensure that the information in this database is accurate.
However, some individual entries are no longer applicable. Please review below the steps you may take to remove such entries that
relate to you.
If you are now either a United States citizen or a lawful permanent resident alien (LPR) and you believe your name is included in
the visa lookout database because you were once refused a visa or were potentially ineligible to receive a visa, please proceed as
follows:
Submit proof of your citizenship or legal permanent residency to the Chief, Systems Liaison and Procedures Division,
Visa Office, U.S. Department of State, Washington, D.C. 20522-0113. If available, please provide a copy of one of the
following documents as proof of citizenship or LPR status: U.S. passport, Certificate of Naturalization, Alien Registration
Card (Form 1-551), and Re-Entry Permits (Form 1-132). Other forms of proof may be acceptable if they clearly establish
that you are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident alien.
Include with your submission a brief note providing a daytime telephone number for use in the event that we have
questions. As a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident, you are not reqUired to justify the removal of your name
from the visa lookout database.

If you are neither a United States citizen nor lawful permanent resident but are concerned about a lookout, you should contact the
U.S. Foreign Service post where your visa was issued or the nearest U.S. Foreign Service post to your residence for further advice
regarding your case.

Sincerely yours,

Division Chief
Systems and Interagency Liaison
for Visa Services

Section 273(e) Sample MOU

United States Immigration and Naturalization Service
Section 273(E) Memorandum of Understanding
United States Immigration and Naturalization Service
Section 273(e) Memorandum of Understanding

This voluntary Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is made between
(hereafter referred to as the
"Carrier") and the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (hereafter referred to as the "INS"). The purpose of this MOU
is to identify the responsibilities of each party to improve the performance of the Carrier with respect to its duty under section 273 of
the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) to prevent the transport of improperly documented aliens to the United States. Based on
the Carrier's Performance Level (PL) in comparison to the Acceptable Performance Level (APL) or Second APL (APL2) set by the INS,
and based upon compliance with the other stipulations outlined in the MOU, the INS may refund, reduce, or waive a part of the
Carrier's section 273 of the Act administrative penalties. The MOU cannot, by law, exempt the Carrier from liability for civil penalties.
Although taking the steps set forth below will not relieve the Carrier of liability from penalties, the extent to which the Carrier has
complied with this MOU will be considered as a factor in cases where the INS may reduce, refund, or waive a fine. It is understood and
agreed by the parties that this MOU is not intended to be legally enforceable by either party. No claims, liabilities, or rights shall arise
from or with respect to this MOU except as provided for in the Act or the Code of Federal Regulations. Nothing in this MOU relieves the
Carrier of any responsibilities with respect to United States laws, the Act, or the Code of Federal Regulations. This document, once
jointly endorsed, will serve as a working agreement to be utilized for all fines cases relating to section 273 of the Act, and reflects the
mutual understanding of the Carrier and the INS. This MOU shall take effect immediately upon its approval by the Assistant
Commissioner for Inspections and shall be a valid working document and shall expire on September 30, 2001. The Carrier's
compliance with the MOU shall be evaluated periodically. The Carrier shall be notified in writing of its PL and the overall APL for each
rating period. Accordingly, the Carrier agrees to begin prompt and complete implementation of all of the terms listed in this MOU. With
30 days written notice, either party may terminate this MOU, for any reason, to include the INS' termination of this MOU for the
Carrier's failure to abide by its terms. Any subsequent fines will be imposed for the full penalty amount.
Memorandum of Understanding
L Introduction

1.1
1.2
1.3

The ASSistant Commissioner for Inspections shall exercise oversight regarding the Carrier's compliance with this MOU.
The Carrier agrees to begin implementation of the provisions set forth below immediately upon signing and receipt of the MOU
signed by the Assistant Commissioner for Inspections.
The Carrier agrees to permit the INS to monitor its compliance with the terms of this MOU. The Carrier shall permit the INS to
conduct an inspection of the Carrier's document screening procedures at ports of embarkation before arrival in the United

States, to determine compliance with the procedures listed in this MOU, to the extent permitted by competent local authorities
responSible for port access and security. If necessary, the carrier agrees to use its good offices to obtain this permission.
1.4
The Carrier agrees to designate a coordinator to be the contact point for all issues arising from the implementation of this MOU.
The Carrier shall provide the INS with the coordinator's name, title, address, telephone number, and facsimile number.
1.5
The Carrier shall require that all of its employees, including its representatives, follow the provisions of this MOU, and comply
with all requirements of the Act. The Carrier further agrees to cooperate with the INS in an open two-way exchange of pertinent
information.
2. Prompt Payment

2.1

2.2

2.3
2.4

The INS agrees to authorize a reduction in fine penalties based on compliance with this MOU only if the Carrier has paid all
administrative fines, liquidated damages, and user fees. This includes interest and penalties that have been imposed by either a
formal order or final decision, except cases on appeal.
The Carrier agrees to promptly pay all administrative fines, liquidated damages, and user fees. This includes interest and
penalties that are imposed by a formal order or a final decision during the time this MOU is in effect, except cases on appeal.
Prompt payment for the purposes of this MOU means payments made within 30 days from the date of billing.
The INS shall periodically review the Carrier's record of prompt payment for administrative fines, liquidated damages, and user
fees including interest and penalties. Failure to make prompt payment will result in the loss of benefits of the MOU.
The Carrier agrees to select a person from its organization as a contact point in the INS Office of Finance for the resolution of
payment issues. The Carrier shall provide the INS with the contact person's name, title, address, telephone number, and
facsimile number,

3.9

The Carrier shall refuse to knowingly carry any improperly documented passenger.
The Carrier agrees to verify that trained personnel examine and screen passengers' travel documents to confirm, to the best of
their ability, that the passport, visa (if one is required), or other travel documents presented are valid and unexpired, and that
the passenger, and any accompanying passenger named in the passport, is the apparent rightful holder of the document.
The Carrier agrees to conduct addiflonal document checks when deemed appropriate, to verify that all passengers, including
transit passengers, are in possession of their own, and proper, travel documents as they board the aircraft, and to identify any
fraudulent documents.
The Carrier agrees to permit INS and State Department Consular officials to screen passengers' travel documents before or after
the Carrier has screened those passengers for boarding, to the extent permitted by the competent local authorities responsible
for port access and security. If necessary, the carrier agrees to use its good offices to obtain this permission.
In cases involving suspected fraud, the Carrier shall assess the adequacy of the documents presented by questioning indiViduals
or by taking other appropriate steps to corroborate the identity of the passengers, such as requesting secondary identification.
Following notification by the INS, or its representative, about a particular passenger or passengers, the carrier shall refuse to
knowingly transport any such individual determined by an INS official not to be in possession of proper documentation to enter
or pass through the United States. Transporting any improperly documented passenger so identified may result in a civil penalty.
At locations where there is no INS presence, carriers may request State Department Consular officials to examine and advise on
authenticity of passenger documentation. State Department Consular officials will act in an advisory capacity only.
Where the Carrier has refused to board a passenger based on a suspicion of fraud or other lack of proper documentation, the
Carrier agrees to make every effort to notify other carriers at that port of embarkation about that passenger, to the extent
permitted by competent local authorities responsible for port access and security. If necessary, the carrier agrees to use its good
offices to obtain this permission.
The Carner shall maintain a reasonable level of security designed to prevent passengers from circumventing any Carrier
document checks. The Carrier shall also maintain an adequate level of security designed to prevent stowaways from boarding
the Carrier's aircraft or vessel.
The Carrier agrees to participate in INS training programs and utilize INS Information Guides and other information provided by

the INS to assist the Carrier in determining documentary requirements and detecting fraud.
3.10
The Carrier agrees to make the INS Information Guides and other information provided by the INS readily available for use by
Carrier personnel, at every port of embarkation.
3.11
The Carrier agrees to make appropriate use of technological aids in screening documents including ultra violet lights,
magnification devices, or other equipment identified by the INS to screen documents.
3.12
The Carrier agrees to expeditiously respond to written requests from the appropriate INS official(s) for information pertaining
to the identity, itinerary, and seating arrangements of individual passengers. The Carrier also agrees to provide manifests and
other information, required to identify passengers, information and evidence regarding the identity and method of concealment
of a stowaway, and information regarding any organized alien smuggling activity.
3.13
Upon arrival at a Port-of-Entry (POE) and prior to inspection, the Carrier agrees to notify INS personnel at the POE of any
unusual circumstances, incidents, or problems at the port of embarkation involving the transportation of improperly documented
aliens to the United States.
3.14
The Carrier agrees to notify the Assistant Commissioner of Inspections, in writing, if it is unable to comply with any section of
the MOU because of local law or local competent authority. The Carrier shall list the specific section of the MOU with which it is
unable to comply and, to be in compliance with the MOU, shall notify the Service within ten (10) days after becoming cognizant
of this prohibition to comply. Further, in such instances the Carrier shall propose alternative means for meeting the objective
sought by the paragraph in question. For instance, where review of foreign boarding procedures cannot be performed by INS
personnel, the Carrier could provide that an audit of its operation be performed by local authorities or by private auditors.

4.8

The Director of the National Fines Office will serve as a coordinator for all issues arising from the implementation of this MOU.
The INS shall provide the carrier with the coordinator's name, address, telephone number, and facsimile number.
The INS agrees to develop an Information Guide to be used by Carrier personnel at all ports of embarkation prior to boarding
passengers destined to the United States. The Information Guide will function as a resource to assist Carrier personnel in
determining proper documentary requirements and detecting fraud.
The INS agrees to develop a formal, continuing training program to assist carriers in their screening of passengers. Carriers may
provide input to the INS concerning specific training needs that they have identified. Initial and annual refresher training will be
conducted by the INS or Carrier representatives trained by the INS.
To the extent possible, INS and State Department Consular officials will consult, support, and assist the Carrier's efforts to
screen passengers prior to boarding.
The INS shall determine each Carrier's Performance Level (PL) based on statistical analysis of the Carrier's performance, as a
means of evaluation whether the Carrier has successfully screened all of its passengers in accordance with 8 CFR 273.3 and
this MOU. The PL is determined by taking the number of each Carrier's violations of section 273 of the Act for a fiscal year 1 and
dividing this by the number of documented nonimmigrants (i.e., those nonimmigrants that submit an Arrival/Departure Record,
Form 1-94, I-94T, or I-94W) transported by the Carrier and multiplying the result by 1,000.
The INS shall establish an Acceptable Performance Level (APL), based on statistical analysis of the performance of all carriers,
as a means of evaluating whether the Carrier has successfully screened all of its passengers in accordance with 8 CFR 273.3
and this MOU. The APL shall be determined by taking the total number of all carrier violations of section 273 of the Act for a
fiscal year 1 and dividing this by the total number of documented nonimmigrants (i.e., those nonimmigrants that submit an
Arrival/Departure Record, Form 1-94, I-94T, or I-94W) transported by all carriers for a fiscal year and multiplying the result by
1,000.
The INS shall establish a Second Acceptable Performance Level (APL2), based on statistical analysis of the performance of all
carriers at or better than the APL, as a means of further evaluating carrier success in screening its passengers in accordance
with 8 CFR 273.3 and this MOU. Using carrier statistics for only those carriers which are at or better than the APL, the APL2
shall be determined by taking the total number of these carrier violations of section 273 of the Act for a fiscal year 1 and
dividing by the total number of documented nonimmigrants (i.e., those nonimmigrants that submit an Arrival/Departure Record,
Form 1-94, I-94T, or I-94W) transported by these carriers and mUltiplying the result by 1,000.
The PL, APL, and APL2 may be recalculated periodically as deemed necessary, based on Carrier performance during the previous
period(s).

4.9

Carriers whose PL is at or better than the APL are eligible to receive an automatic 25 percent reduction, if signatory to and in
compliance with this MOU, on fines imposed under section 273 of the Act for periods determined by the INS.
4.10
Carriers whose PL is at or better than the APL2 are eligible to receive an automatic 50 percent reduction, if signatory to and in
compliance with this MOU, on fines imposed under section 273 of the Act for periods determined by the INS.
4.11
If the Carrier's PL is not at or better than the APL, the Carrier may receive an automatic 25 percent reduction in fines, if it
meets certain conditions, including being signatory to and in compliance with the MOU, and the carrier submits evidence that it
has taken extensive measures to prevent the transport of improperly documented passengers to the United States. This
evidence shall be submitted to the Assistant Commissioner for Inspections for consideration. Evidence may include, but is not
limited to, the following: (1) Information regarding the Carrier's training program, including participation of the Carrier's
personnel in any INS, Department of State (DOS), or other training programs and the number of employees trained: (2)
information regarding the date and number of improperly documented aliens intercepted by the Carrier at the port(s) of
embarkation, including, but not limited to, the aliens' name, date of birth, passport nationality, passport number or other travel
document information, and reason boarding was refused, if otherwise permitted under local law; and, (3) other evidence,
including screening procedure enhancements, technological or otherwise, to demonstrate the Carrier's good faith efforts to
properly screen passengers destined to the United States.
4.12
The Carrier may defend against imposition or seek further reduction of an administrative fine if the case is timely defended
pursuant to 8 CFR part 280, in response to the Form 1-79, Notice of Intent to Find, and the Carrier establishes that mitigating
or extenuating circumstances existed at the time of the violation.
4.13
Nothing in this MOU precludes a carrier from seeking fine reduction, refund, or waiver under 8 CFR 273.4.

INSERTS PLUS/Inspectors Field Manual/Appendix 43-3 Personal Interview Guidelines (Added INS - TM2)

Appendix 43-3 Personal Interview Guidelines (Added INS - TM2)

Important Notice
Personal Interview Guidelines

A personal interview is authorized under 8 CFR 280.12. Procedures for conducting a personal appearance
are contained in 8 CFR 280.13. The National Fines Office (NFO) has established specific procedures for a
request for a personal interview.
In order for a personal interview to be conducted, the request must be made in conjunction with the written
defense and submitted within 30 days of service of the Notice of Intent to Fine, Form 1-79 (8 CFR 280.12).
The immigration officer assigned to conduct the personal interview shall contact the representative of the
carrier to set a date and time for the personal interview at the NFO, or a telephonic interview in lieu of a
personal interview at the NFO.
If additional evidence is to be presented by the representative during a personal interview, the evidence must
be submitted at the time of the personal interview. If a telephonic interview is to be conducted and additional
will be presented, the representative must submit the documentation at least 24 hours before the start of the
telephonic interview for consideration and inclusion in the file.
Once a date and time for the personal or telephonic interview have been established, the representative is
obliged to appear in person for the personal interview or telephonically contact the NFO for the telephonic
interview on the scheduled date and time.
If the representative cannot appear for the personal interview or cannot call for the telephonic interview on the
scheduled date and time, the representative must call the NFO at least 24 hours in advance to reschedule the
interview. The immigration officer will reschedule one additional date on which the personal or telephonic
interview is to be held. The rescheduled interview date will be set within thirty (30) days of the original

interview date and must be conducted and completed within that time frame.
If the representative fails to appear or telephonically contact the NFO on the date and time that has been
rescheduled by the immigration officer, the representative will have forfeited his or her opportunity to discuss
or present information regarding those determined cases. The immigration officer will make a decision on the
case based upon the existing record.
The immigration officer assigned to conduct the personal interview may limit the discussion of a particular
case to a reasonable time period at his or her discretion. The immigration officer may also limit the total time
period allotted in a day for the scheduled personal or telephonic interview.
In the discretion of the immigration officer assigned to conduct the personal interview, the representative may
also discuss another case assigned for personal interview to the same officer, provided that the written
defense and any additional evidence relevant to that other case has been filed. The representative may not
discuss any case for which no request for a personal interview has been made, nor any case assigned to
another immigration officer.
The immigration officer will prepare a report of the personal or telephonic interview, summarizing the evidence
and containing his or her findings and recommendation, and present it to the Director of the NFO. (8 CFR
280.13).
A case decision will be mailed to the representative after the case is reviewed by the Director. Official
notification will be made in the form of a Formal Order and a Bill, or a Notice of Termination of Proceedings.
The Service does not have jurisdiction of a case once it is pending before the Board of Immigration Appeals
(BIA). Any request for oral argument must then be made according to the BlA's rules of procedure.

Deposit (same day) - A deposit made before the cutoff time on the day the funds were received by the agency. For example, if the

the depositary's cutoff time reqUirements
requirements are met.
Depositary - A bank into which a deposit is made for the credit of the U.S. Treasury. These include Federal Reserve Banks as well as
commercial banks that have been specifically authorized by the Department of the Treasury for that purpose.

II. OVERVIEW
This manual documents the Immigration and Naturalization Service's (INS) procedures to be followed in the collection and
safeguarding of fees at ports of entry. INS' objective is to ensure the integrity of the fee collection program by establishing controls
to:
Collect fees properly;
Reconcile fees collected with the cash register tape (or manual receipts) and applications adjudicated;
Establish sufficient segregation of duties to prevent fraud, theft, or the misuse of funds; and
Establish procedures for supervisory responsibility and accountability of functions.

A. GETTING STARTED
To begin fee collection, the Port Director must:

•

Appoint a person to serve as Principal Officer over all Port locations. The Principal Officer shall be designated in writing.
The Principal Officer will have primary responsibility to oversee the fee collection process, to train and manage the
staff engaged in fee collection, and to ensure the security and accountability of funds received by INS employees are
maintained. A single Principal Officer will be the norm unless the Port Director justifies, and the number of subports
requires, the appointment of additional Principal Officers at other sites.
Identify employees to serve as Cashiers. Cashiers shall be designated in writing using Form 1-2958, Designation of
Cashier. In large POEs, these will often be Immigration Aides. In smaller POEs, it may be more practical for
Immigration Inspectors to serve as Cashiers. One person may not both adjudicate applications and accept fees. For
very limited exceptions, such as when there is only one INS employee assigned at a POE, see section III-D for POE
using cash registers or section VI-D for POEs using manual fee collection procedures.

•

Obtain necessary equipment to safeguard collected fees and applications, and all materials necessary to backup
deposits.
Identify an authorized bank into which deposits will be made. This must be a Federal Reserve Bank or a commercial bank
specifically authorized by the Department of the Treasury to maintain a demand account, entitled "Treasury's
General Account," for the purpose of accepting deposits to the Treasury. The INS Debt Management Center can
assist in obtaining or replacing a financial institution. Note: Deposits shall not be mailed to the INS Debt
Management Center.

B. EQUIPMENT

The equipment needed will vary with the size of the POE and the volume of fees collected. At a minimum, every POE should have

a:
•

Lockable cash box;

•

Locked box with a slot for inserting applications collected. The lockbox shall be fastened to, or incorporated into, an
immobile object.

•

File cabinet with a bar and combination lock if the total fees awaiting deposit and the Cash Fund are not expected to
exceed $50, or a relatively non-removable safe, preferably a drop safe, with a three position dial combination feature
for larger amounts. There should also be a log to record entry and closure attached to or accompanying each
container or cabinet holding fee collections when more than one person has access to the safe.

•

Rubber stamp so that the Cashier can place the restrictive endorsement on checks, money orders, etc. immediately upon
receipt; (first endorsement required by internal control)
A rubber stamp so that the deposit preparer can properly endorse cash instruments for deposit to the financial
institution; (second endorsement required by Treasury).
A supply of nondenominational money straps for use in preparing deposits.

Larger POEs will also require:
•

Cash registers, preferably programmable models, with a maintenance contract in place;

A safe in lieu of a file cabinet with bar and combination lock. A drop safe is preferable, because Cashiers can deposit their
fee collections at the end of their shifts without concern for safeguarding collections already in the safe;
Cash counting machines;
Credit card readers, if credit cards are accepted;
Locking bags for transporting cash between locations and/or to the depositary (bank); and
A contract with a courier service to make daily bank deposits.
Two additional actions may be taken:

1.

A Change Fund may also be established, to assist Cashiers in making change, if the Port Director deems it necessary.
Procedures for establishing and maintaining Change Funds are described in section X.

2.

Counterfeit detection pens may be purchased.

C. MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT
Management oversight by the Port Director, the Principal Officer, and subordinate supervisors is the key component in the
successful collection and handling of fees at POEs. With effective management oversight, Government funds can be better protected
and personal liabilities for losses reduced. Without it, the likelihood of losses and liability increases. Management oversight will be
greatly increased by ensuring that particular areas of vulnerability are addressed, proper procedures are followed, and accountability is
monitored through periodic spot checks or reviews in these areas. The most important of these areas are:

1.

Prompt reconciliation of fees and transactions;

2.

Segregation of duties in all locations where three or more staff members are present, and to the extent feasible where
fewer than three staff members are present;

3.

Safeguarding of all supporting documentation in addition to safeguarding cash register tapes and manual receipts;

4.

Where cash registers are used, ensuring that each register is programmed and used to its capacity and that the
programming reflects the current structure for INS fees;

5.

Ensuring specific passwords for each Cashier using cash registers and changing these passwords when Cashiers change
or when passwords are revealed and accountability is threatened;

6.

Establishing and following strict rules of accountability for Cashiers and other INS employees handling Government
funds.

7.

Establishing proper supervisory oversight of the fee collection process, to include certification of the accuracy of the cash
collected at the end of each shift, immediate review and concurrence of cashier errors, and performance of
unannounced cash counts on cashiers. The performance and the results of unannounced cash counts need to be
documented in writing.

8.

Providing unique cashier numbers to each person working as a Cashier.

D. PRINCIPLE OF LIABILITY FOR PUBLIC FUNDS

Government employees who are responsible for or have custody of public funds are accountable for the safeguarding of these
funds. These employees are accountable officers.
In the General Accounting Office's Principles of Federal Appropriations Law, Chapter 9, Liability and Relief of Accountable Officers,
two important points are made. First, the standard for accountable officers is one of strict liability. The accountable officer is, in effect,
an "insurer" of the funds in his or her charge. Second, the liability is automatic and arises by operation of law at the moment the
physical loss occurs or an erroneous payment (such as giving too much change) is made. Employees performing collection duties are
responsible for maintaining appropriate accounting practices and controls of the assets for which they are responsible. Responsibility
continues from the time the fees are collected until proper and acceptable accounting is made and the fees collected are deposited or
officially turned over to another individual.
The first and major part of safeguarding funds comes through the Principal Officer and supervisors who must establish
accountability for these employees. This will be accomplished by providing clear procedures for the employees to follow to determine
the accountability for fees collected at any given time of the day/shift. The second part, which is equally important, is for supervisors
to establish strict terms of liability for employees. That is, employees who handle and are accountable for public funds must be liable
for any shortages or discrepancies found in these funds.
Reconciliation of fees collected is to be done at the end of each shift and cumulatively on a daily basis, so as to detect any
shortages or overages and account for them in a timely manner. Cashiers or other employees held liable for shortages are to restore
the funds promptly, i.e., no later than the next morning at a time established by the Principal Officer. Overages are the property of the
U.S. Government and may not be kept by employees under any circumstances. Overages are deposited to Miscellaneous Receipt
Account 151060, "Forfeitures of Unclaimed Money and Property."
In the case of a shortage or an overage, the employee will submit a memorandum to the Port Director acknowledging the
discrepancy and explaining the circumstances that caused the discrepancy, if known. This will be done whether or not the employee
replaces a loss. Shortages shall not be made up from the Change Fund. Overages from one day or shift may not be used to replace
shortages occurring on another day or shift.
Unless the employee can prove he/she was without fault or negligence, the employee will assume liability for the loss. To prove
lack of fault or negligence, it must appear with a reasonable degree of certainty from all proof and circumstances that the employee
entrusted with public money did not cause the shortage. In such a case, the employee should be exonerated from the obligation to
restore funds. Reasons for the shortage that are not specific, such as "I don't know what happened/' or "I must have given the wrong
change," are inadequate and may not be used to circumvent liability. The Principal Officer will review the employee's memorandum
and will indicate a recommendation as to whether a loss must be replaced before the memorandum is forwarded to the Port Director
for a final decision. The final decision must be documented on the Overage/Shortage Memo Cover Sheet, attached to the original
employee memo and forwarded to the INS Debt Management Center with the deposit documentation. The Overage/Shortage Memo
Cover Sheet must include the Port Director's rationale as to why the employee did not have to replace the funds. Decisions regarding
overages and shortages must be made qUickly in order to ensure that the correct documentation is forwarded the day of the deposit to
the Debt Management Center. A copy of the employee memo and the Overage/Shortage Memo Cover Sheet must be sent to the
Deputy District Director at the same time the original package is sent to the DMC.
Unless the employee can prove that he/she did not cause the loss, it is expected that the liable employee will replace the funds. An
employee found to have repeated discrepancies overages/shortages) may be subject to disciplinary action, to include reassignment to

non-cash handling duties.
The Port Director must establish a "Location Discrepancy Tracking Log." An example is found in section LB. (Forms and
Illustrations). Each overage or shortage memo prepared by the location should be assigned a unique tracking number. For example,
the first discrepancy at location XXX for FY 2001 would be identified as XXX-Ol-000l. This number should be written on the original
memo and the Overage/Shortage Memo Cover Sheet. A completed example is located in section LB. (Forms and Illustrations).
III. CASH REGISTERS: MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

These procedures are designed for general use. At POEs where only one INS employee is assigned, it may be necessary to make
some modifications because of staffing limitations. These procedures apply only to POEs with programmable cash registers. If the POE
does not have such a cash register or the cash register is temporarily out of service, the procedures in the sections on manual
processing must be applied. For further information on manual processing, see section VII.

A. GENERAL GUIDELINES
Fees collected must be counted, reconciled with cash register tapes, and totals of applications collected after each shift and
cumulatively at the end of each business day. Two principles apply at every stage of the process:

1.

Fee collections and applications are never counted alone, with the exception of situations at POEs where there is only
one INS staff member on duty.

2.

At every point in which fee collections are transferred from the custody of one individual to another, the transfer is
recorded on Form G-714, Receipt for Funds and Valuables Transferred.

The consistent application of these principles safeguards fees, but just as important, protects employees who must handle the
fees.
At the end of each shift, in the presence of a supervisor or a person designated by the supervisor, the Cashier must perform a
prompt and thorough reconciliation of fees collected. This reconciliation is a three-sided balancing of:
•
•
•

Fees collected,
Totals from the end-of-shift cash register tape, and
Applications processed.

This reconciliation must be documented on the Fee Reconciliation Worksheet. The documentation will be accomplished by
having the names, titles and signatures of those signing (cashier and supervisor) along with a statement certifying the
accuracy of the cash count.

B. PROCEDURES WHERE THREE OR MORE INS STAFF MEMBERS ARE PRESENT
The following procedures and methods to ensure segregation of duties will be applied in locations where three or more INS staff are
present: an Immigration Inspector, a Cashier (often an Immigration Aide), and a supervisor. U.S. Customs Service staff or INS
contractors are not by definition INS staff. Modifications allowable in situations where fewer than three staff members cannot be
present are discussed in section III-C and section III-D.

The Principal Officer must:
1.

Establish a Cashier's Register Log and ensure that all Cashiers log in, filling in all appropriate information, such as
Cashier number, date and time for periods that Cashier duties were performed, and total amounts collected at the
end of the shift for each Cashier.

2

Establish logs to track the folloWing: SF-215 (local deposit number), unique cash register receipt tracking number and G712 (Summary of Fees).

3.

Ensure that Cashiers are trained in their responsibilities, including procedures for using the make and model of the cash
register(s) in use.

4.

Ensure that each Cashier has a distinct Cashier number, along with a password or personal identification number (PIN).

5.

Ensure that supervisors retain custody of the cash register keys at all times.

6.

Ensure that all accountable officers safeguard both funds and all pertinent supporting documentation (manual receipts,
cash register tapes, applications, etc.) needed to perform reconciliation by requiring two distinct steps. First, I-94s
and copies of other applications must be inserted into the slot of a locked box in the custody of the Inspector.
Second, fees collected must be kept in a cash register in the custody of the Cashier. The cash register must be
locked when it is not in the direct and continuous view of the Cashier.

7.

Ensure that Cashiers and supervisors (or the supervisor's designee) together perform a prompt and thorough
reconciliation of fees collected, cash register tapes, and applications processed at the end of each shift. This includes
ensuring that all applications are removed from the lockbox and accounted for at the end of each shift.

8.

Ensure that neither fees collected nor applications processed are counted by one person alone. The Cashier should not
count applications and money together. Instead, assign a different person to count I-94s and other applications. The
Cashier may then verify the count of applications, and the second person may verify the count of fees collected.

9.

Ensure that total fees collected are recorded on Form G-714, Receipt of Funds and Valuables Transferred, and that the
fees and supporting documents are then placed in a safe (or file cabinet with a bar and combination lock or locked
cash box, as applicable) until a deposit is prepared.

10.

Where there is a shortage or an overage, review the Cashier's memorandum of explanation, making a recommendation
for appropriate action to the Port Director. See section II-D, Principle of Liability for Public Funds, for further
information.

11.

When shortages or overages occur, especially repeated instances involving the same accountable officer, initiate an
investigation or take corrective action as the situation warrants.

12.

Establish procedures and safeguard facilities for Change Funds, if established, and ensure that all staff having access to
Change Funds at any time are properly trained.

13.

Secure cash registers not in use and restrict access to unused registers to supervisory staff.

14.

Ensure proper supervisory oversight of the fee collection process, to include certification of the accuracy of the cash
collected at the end of each shift, immediate review and concurrence of cashier errors, and performance of
unannounced cash counts on Cashiers. The performance and the results of unannounced cash counts need to be

documented in writing.
15)

Establish and maintain a log or file to record and track the results of each unannounced cash count.

16)

Where there are any gaps in journal tape transaction numbers, determine the cause and establish and maintain a log
or file to record and track the results of each review of transaction number gaps.

17)

Ensure that all deposit documentation and forms are prepared according to established gUidelines.

C. STAFF RESPONSIBILITIES WHERE TWO INS STAFF MEMBERS ARE PRESENT

Procedures where two INS staff members are present:
•

If only two staff members are present, one shall serve as Immigration Inspector to receive and handle the application

and one as Cashier to receive and account for the cash.
I-94s and copies of other applications must be inserted into the slot of a locked box in the custody of the Inspector.
•

Fees collected must be kept in a cash register in the custody of the Cashier. The cash register must be kept locked when
it is not in the direct and continuous view of the Cashier.

•

At the end of the shift, fees must be reconciled with applications and the cash register tape.
In any cash collection function, where only two persons are present, the possibility of fraud through collusion is greater
than in situations where a supervisor is present and other employees are involved in the reconciliation process. The
Principal Officer should keep this in mind and employ the following additional techniques to monitor the process:
Perform occasional inspections where an unannounced reconciliation is performed,

•

Rotate staff members and supervisors if feasible,

•

Monitor fee collection statistics to identify and investigate unusual and suspicious fluctuations, and
Ensure that journal tapes and end-of-shift tapes are closely monitored so that all transaction numbers and end-of-shift
tape numbers are accounted for.

D. PROCEDURES WHERE ONLY ONE INS STAFF MEMBER IS PRESENT

I-94s and copies of other applications must be inserted into the slot of a locked box to be opened only at the end of the shift. Fees
collected must be kept in a cash register in the custody of the Cashier. The cash register must be locked when it is not in the direct
and continuous view of the Cashier. The Cashier must safeguard keys to both boxes. The use of a locked box for applications and a
cash register makes it possible for the Principal Officer or supervisor to perform occasional inspections where an unannounced
reconCiliation can be performed.
At the end of the shift, fees must be reconciled using procedures applicable in other situations except only one person will count
cash and applications.

In addition to unannounced inspections, the Principal Officer should employ the following techniques to monitor the process:
•

Rotate staff members and supervisors if feasible,

•

Monitor fee collection statistics to identify and investigate unusual and suspicious fluctuations, and

•

Ensure that journal tapes and end-of-shift tapes are closely monitored so that all transaction numbers and end-of-shift
tape numbers are accounted for.

E. MAINTENANCE / SUPPLIES

The Principal Officer is responsible for:
•

Ensuring that the cash registers are in working order, register tapes are legible, and that an adequate supply of ribbons
and tapes is maintained so that the cash registers are operational at all times;

•

Ensuring that each register is programmed and used to its capacity and that the programming reflects the current
structure for INS fees;

•

Ensuring specific passwords for each Cashier using the register and changing those passwords when Cashiers change or
when passwords are revealed and accountability is threatened;

•

Maintaining maintenance contracts on the cash registers. Officers at ports should look to their superiors in districts or
sectors for assistance in grouping locations with like equipment in order to obtain the most cost-effective
maintenance contracts;

•

If needed, developing specific instructions for the operation of each make and model of cash register in use; and

•

Ensuring that each Cashier at a cash register has a unique Cashier number.
IV. CASH REGISTER PROCEDURES

A.GENERAL

The acceptance of fees at a service location shall be an assignment that, ideally, is specifically designated to an individual who will
act as Cashier for a specified period of time. Depending on the volume of fee applications, it may be necessary to designate more than
one Cashier. Controls will be established by assigning Cashier codes and separate cash register drawers to individuals assigned to
accept fee payments. When it is necessary for one Cashier to relieve another Cashier and work from the same cash drawer, whether
on a day or a shift, strict procedures must be followed. In the presence of a supervisor, the two Cashiers must reconcile the cash
collected to a subtotal tape (sometimes called an X tape) and sign on and off the register. In larger ports, this means that the Principal
Officer may need to delegate this responsibility to another person(s). This delegated person will then be responsible for ensuring that
all CashIers under his/her jurisdiction properly reconcile the funds and sign on and off the cash registers.

B. PROGRAMMING THE CASH REGISTER

When available, programmable cash registers with compatible slip-printers shall be used. Each POE should have a maintenance
agreement with the vendor to maintain and provide technical assistance for each type of cash register in use.
Cash registers shall be programmed with:

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

Once the date is set on the cash register, there should be no need to reset it. However, it is a good practice to review the date
printed on the first receipt each day to verify that the date is correct.

C. CASH REGISTER REPORTS
Each cash register should be programmed to produce two reports (tapes):

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

In addition, cash registers contain a journal tape that reports a cumulative record of all cash register activity and is
considered an official accounting record. The journal tape portion representing the day's transactions is torn off and secured
at the end of each day by inserting into the drop safe.

D. SUPERVISOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES

Certification of the accuracy of cash collected at the end of each shift;

••

Certification of the completeness and accuracy of the deposit amount and deposit documentation;
Ensuring that cash registers do not run out of tape, ribbons or ink, and that all used tapes, or portions thereof, are
accounted for; and
which
Signing, dating, and providing on the application a clear explanation for any fee waived. Note: Any application for which
a fee is reqUired and subsequently waived also requires an explanation annotated on the application as well as

The Cashier must:

1.

Safeguard fees collected, any funds from the Change Fund, and all supporting documentation that can be used in
reconciliation, including cash register tapes.

2.

Safeguard his/her password/PIN.

3.

Account at all times for the accuracy of the cash in the cash register or cash drawer. Repayment of any shortage is
required unless the Cashier can prove that he/she did not cause the loss.

4.

Never count money in cash register drawers or cash boxes during the shift unless the supervisor is performing an
unannounced count or reconciliation.

5.

Ensure that the cash register does not run out of cash register tape.

G. CASHIER'S PROCEDURES
The Cashier must:

1.

8.

If necessary to issue manual receipts, retain copies of all receipts issued for purposes of reconciliation and keep them in
the cash register or a locked box. For detailed information on manual receipts, refer to the instructions in section
VII.

9.

If a fee is entered erroneously into the cash register and must be voided, call the supervisor immediately to initial the
journal tape next to the VOID entry.

H. ACCOUNTING FOR APPLICATIONS PROCESSED DURING EACH SHIFT

The applications collected are totaled separately from fees at the end of each shift. At that time, the supervisor, or person
designated by the supervisor, will open the locked box of applications processed, tally the applications by type, and calculate the fees
that should have been collected. This tally must be conducted in the presence of a second person, usually the Cashier. The supervisor
should then ensure that all applications are provided to the employees assigned responsibility for determining POE statistical counts
and for forwarding to appropriate offices for processing.
1. ACCOUNTING FOR FEES COLLECTED DURING EACH SHIFT

At the end of the shift, the Cashier must:

1.

In the presence of a supervisor or person designated by the supervisor, close out the cash register by producing an endof-shift tape (Z tape).

2.

In the presence of a person designated by the supervisor, reconcile the fees collected with the end-of-shift tape and the
count of applications from the locked box and document this reconciliation on the Fee Reconciliation Worksheet.

3.

Log the amount collected on the cashier's log.

4.

In the case of a shortage or an overage, the employee will submit a memorandum to the Port Director explaining the
circumstances that caused the discrepancy. This will be done whether or not the employee replaces a loss. Unless the
employee can prove he/she was without fault or negligence, the employee will assume liability for the loss and repay
the funds. Detailed procedures may be found in section II -D.

5.

Sort the fees by type (cash, check, money order, credit card), and bundle each type together. The bills should be
grouped by denomination with all bills facing upright and in the same direction.

6.

Seal the end-of-shift tape and the fees in an envelope or in another secure manner as determined by the Port Director.
Document the reconciliation on the Fee Reconciliation Worksheet as required in section III-A, General Guidelines.

7.

Initial across the flap of the sealed envelope as a deterrent to opening by an unauthorized person. Taping across the
initials is recommended as a further deterrent.

8.

Drop or place the sealed envelope in the safe in the presence of the supervisor. Record the action on Form G-714,
Receipt for Funds and Valuables Transferred.

J. SECURING THE JOURNAL TAPE
At the end of the last shift of the calendar day, for each cash register in use, the supervisor must:
L

Tear off the portion of the journal tape representing the day's activity from each cash register after the last Cashier has
closed out and the fees collected from the last shift have been removed.

2.

Circle or write in the date (MM-DD-YV) and location (e.g. Columbia Bridge, Laredo) on the journal tape, and initial it. The
journal tape will be rolled and secured with a rubber band.

3.

Place the journal tape in the safe unless the end-of-day reconciliation is to be done immediately.

4.

After initially securing the journal tape in the safe overnight, this tape is to be turned over to the Principal Officer who
will secure all journal tapes both for short-term storage (available for review and audit) and for long-term retention.

5.

While these journal tapes remain at the port in the custody of the Principal Officer, they are to be secured in the same
manner as deposits, Le., in a locked cash box, a file cabinet with a bar lock, a safe, or in a secure room as volume
requires. The Principal Officer will be responsible also for keeping these tapes stored in an orderly manner so that
they may be available for review and audit.

6.

In addition to the short-term storage, the Principal Officer is also responsible for securing the journal tapes for long-term
retention. Federal law requires retention for a period of six years and three months.

K. ACCOUNTING FOR FEES COLLECTED EACH DAY
Daily accounting for fees must be done promptly each day that fees are collected. If the volume of fees collected at a port calls for
a daily deposit, this accounting for fees becomes part of the Verification and Final Preparation of Deposit process, see section V-B. If
the volume does not require a daily deposit, this accounting for fees becomes a separate activity distinct from the deposit preparation
process.
The supervisor will assign two employees to perform the fee reconciliation. These should not include a Cashier whose fee collections
are included, unless it is necessary in the judgment of the Port Director.
In the presence of the supervisor, the two employees will open the safe and remove the sealed envelopes containing the deposits
for each shift.
The two employees will:
1.

Open the sealed envelopes and again verify the fees collected for each shift by counting the fees and comparing them to
the end-of-shift tapes. This is necessary because if there is a shortage or overage in the total fees collected, it is
important to be able to identify the source.

2.

Total all fees collected and compare this total to the cumulative totals for the day indicated on the end-of-shift tapes.
POEs should use the Fee Reconciliation Worksheet for this purpose.

3.

For each cash register, compare the end-of-shift tape (Z tape) control numbers to ensure the continuity of end-of-shift
tapes. Also, review the journal tape and compare the beginning transaction number with the ending transaction
number from the previous day's journal to ensure that transactions are continuously accounted for.

4.

Notify the Principal Officer immediately of any shortages/overages, or if there are any "gaps" in the transaction
numbers, so that the Principal Officer can begin an inquiry into the discrepancy.

5.

Record totals for each end-of-shift tape for each cash register on a Form G-712, Summary of Fees Recorded. A single G-

712 can be used to record end-of-shift control numbers from multiple registers providing all control numbers are listed on the
G-712 in box 10. The total of these individual amounts should be placed in box 5. For complete instructions, see the
example linked in Forms and Illustrations, section B. On the G-712, list the local deposit number, the G-712
summary number, the total from the register tapes, and the end-of-shift tape control number(s) to ensure that all
end-of-shift tapes are consecutive, and there are no gaps in control numbers. The two signatures on each of the G712s certify that the deposited amount agrees with amounts reconciled at the end of each shift. The total of fees
reported for the deposit on the G-712(s) and any overage/shortage memos should match the SF-215(s) deposit
totals. The Principal Officer must establish a log to track the G-712 Summary numbers.
6.

Secure the deposit. If the deposit is to be prepared by another employee, place the tapes, fees, and all other related
documents in a single sealed, identified package or locked bag, such as a bank bag, to be transported to the
administrative office that will prepare the deposit. If the deposit is to be prepared at a later time, return the deposit
immediately to the safe. Instructions on safeguarding deposits are found in section V-D. Record each change of
custody on Form G-714, Receipt for Funds and Valuables Transferred.

Detailed instructions for preparing the deposit are contained in the next chapter, section V.
L. Liability During the Fee Collection, Reconciliation and Reporting Stages

All employees who collect fees or take part in reconciliations and preparing deposits are considered accountable officers. Any
discrepancies occurring during the reconciliation and reporting stages must be reported through a memorandum in the same manner
-D.
as shortages or overages by a Cashier. Further information is found in section II
II-D.

V. CASH REGISTER FEE DEPOSITS
A. POLICY
In general, large POEs will make daily deposits. Small POEs may need to make a deposit only once a week. The Department of the
Treasury (Treasury Financial Manual 6-8000, Section 8030.20) requires that:
•

Deposit sites shall deposit receipts totaling $5,000 or more on the same day received prior to the depositary cutoff time.

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

(b)(2), (b)
(7)(E)

In accordance with a deposit waiver granted by Treasury for extremely remote POEs with little collection activity, receipts
of less than $500 can be deposited monthly providing it has been approved by the Debt Management Center. For
proper oversight and tracking, the DMC should be aware of which POEs are granted the Treasury waiver as well as
the Principal Officers accountable for proper internal controls at remote POEs.

late

Deposits shall be made as late as possible prior to the specified cutoff time to maximize daily deposit amounts. Funds received too
In the day to meet the deposit cutoff time must be deposited the following business day.

B. PROCEDURES FOR CHECKS AND CASH RECEIVED
Checks Received

Payee Verification: Verify that each check, money order, etc. is properly made out to the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
Refer to Inscription of Checks in section IX-D.
Deposits to Commercial Bank (General Depositary)
Checks and cash delivered to commercial banks for deposit must be accompanied by an adding machine tape or other listing of the
individual check amounts, totals of the currency, coins and the grand total of the deposit that matches the total of the Deposit Ticket,
Form SF-215.
Deposits to Federal Reserve Banks (FRBs)
Only checks or money orders can be deposited at FRBs. Cash is not accepted at FRBs. Deposits must be submitted to the FRB by
mail or via courier. Deposits cannot be hand-carried to an FRB teller. Please note that if cash is collected at a location, it cannot be
deposited at an FRB unless it is converted to a money order or bank check. This bank check or money order is then included with the
check deposit. The purchase cost of the money order or bank check cannot be deducted from the deposit or any fee collections. The
purchase cost must be paid from an imprest fund or by other means. Contact the INS Debt Management Center for information on
obtaining an alternate depositary.
Check Deposits
Depositing locations must do the following:
Separate checks into bundles not to exceed 400 items per bundle.
Attach to each bundle of checks an adding machine tape or other listing that details all items in the bundle, the bundle
total, and the Agency Location Code.
Provide the totals of each listing and the listing's item count on SF-215.
Enclose checks with the SF-215 in a sealed package.
Mail all deposits to the FRB location or deliver them by courier to the loading dock at the FRB within designated delivery
hours.
To ensure that the maximum amount of funds are deposited daily, the depositor will establish a schedule allowing the deposits to
reach the FRB before the daily cutoff for Government agency deposits. For further information on the FRB's cutoff and availability for
agency deposits, the depositor may contact the FRS (Check Processing Department) where the checks are deposited.

The mailing of deposits to FRBs may be done only when specifically authorized by Treasury, FMS. If a POE wishes to mail deposits,
the Principal Officer should contact the INS Debt Management Center to make arrangements.
It is recommended that locations mail deposits to FRBs by registered mail. Registered mail is tracked and kept under lock and key
by the Post Office from time of receipt until it is delivered at its final destination. It is important that the depositing location maintain
enough information regarding the checks in the deposit in order to obtain replacement checks if the deposit is lost or destroyed in
transit.
Verification and Final Preparation of Deposit
Note: The daily accounting for fees needs to be a separate activity distinct from the deposit preparation process only if deposits are
not made on a daily basis.

Before final preparation of a deposit for delivery to a depositary, remittances are counted and verified against supporting documents
by two employees assigned by the supervisor, one of which is the employee who prepared the deposit. The two signatures on each of
the G-712s certify that the amount for deposit agrees with amounts reconciled at the end of each shift. After verifying the remittances,
the two employees prepare them for delivery in the following manner:

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

The transfer of remittances from one individual to another is acknowledged on a Receipt for Funds and Valuables Transferred, Form
G-714.

C. PREPARING THE SF-21S, DEPOSIT TICKET
The Form SF-215, Deposit Ticket, is a five-part form used to deposit funds in a bank. It must be prepared in accordance with the

following standards:

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

Block 1: Deposit Number

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

.• -,..• -.-.

Block 2: Date Presented or Mailed to Bank
The date the document was mailed or presented for deposit (not prepared) is typed in Block 2 in 2-digit groups in month, day, and
year order, separated by hyphens, and using zeroes for single-digit dates. For example, October 2,
2002, would be typed 10-02-02.
2,2002,
Note: If you mail the deposit, the correct date for the SF-215 is the date mailed (not the date prepared, in the event there is a
difference). If you walk into a bank lobby to make the deposit at a teller window, the correct date for the SF-215 is the date presented
(again, not the date you prepared the deposit should there be a difference).
Block 3: Agency Location Code (ALC)
This code is provided to each POE by the INS Debt Management Center.
Block 4: Deposit Amount
Report the total deposit amount (including cents) in Block 4. Use appropriate commas and decimal points, but omit dollar and cent
signs.

Proper Endorsement

Each check must be endorsed with the correct financial endorsement prior to depositing at the banking
institution. This endorsement stamp should include the following:
US Immigration - XXX (XXX is the location code, for example, MIA);
Agency Location Code (obtained from the Debt Management Center);
The words "for credit to the US Treasury"; and
Date of endorsement (this needs to be a changeable date).
The date of endorsement must match the date of the SF-215 Deposit Ticket. The financial institution may
return the entire deposit to the depositing field office if the dates on the endorsement and the SF-215 do not
match. Endorsement for the financial institution must be within the payee endorsement area located 1 1/2

inches from the beginning of the trailing edge of the check. An example is found in Section 1.8. Forms and
III ustrations.

mail.

F. USING A COURIER SERVICE TO TRANSFER DEPOSITS
It is essential that the depositary's cutoff times be known prior to designating the time of day that pick-ups will be made by the
courier service. The deposit pick-up time designated for the courier should be as late as possible to maximize daily deposit amounts
and still ensure that the courier will deliver the deposit the same day before the depositary's cutoff time.
Courier service contracts shall include acceptable pickup timeframes to ensure deposits reach depositaries in accordance with
Treasury requirements and include contractual provisions with appropriate liquidated damages for failing to deliver deposits to the
designated financial institution by the cutoff time specified.

G. DISPOSITION OF CONFIRMED COPIES
The depositary shall send the Confirmed Copy of the Form SF-215 to the office shown in Block g

the depositary returns the Confirmed Copy to the POE, it shall be sent immediately to the Debt Management Center.

H. ADJUSTMENTS TO DEPOSITS
The Form SF-21S cannot be recalled, corrected, nor may it be resubmitted even if an error is discovered after it has been released
to a depositary. When errors are detected, the POE must contact the INS Debt Management Center for further instruction.

1. SUBMISSION OF RECORDS OF DEPOSITS TO THE DEBT MANAGEMENT CENTER
The following documents must be forwarded by first class US mail to the INS Debt Management Center, as applicable:
•
•

Agency and Memorandum copies of the SF-21S, Deposit Ticket;
Form G-712(s), Summary of Fees, Original only;
End-of-shift cash register tapes (including zero "0" tapes);

The original employee discrepancy memo and the Overage/Shortage Memo Cover Sheet. (Note: This must be sent
whether or not repayment has been made.)

The packet must be mailed on the day of deposit to:
USINS Debt Management Center

P.O. Box 5000
Williston, VT 05495-5000
J. FILE DOCUMENTS TO BE RETAINED BY POEs

POEs should retain:
A photocopy of SF-215;
Form G-712 (green carbon);
Originals of G-714, Receipt for Valuables Transferred, and G-221, Schedule of Valuables Shipped;
Any Fee Reconciliation Worksheets used in preparation of deposits;
•

Journal tapes;
Copies of all memoranda related to overages/shortages;

•

Copies of end-of-shift tapes;
Copies of deposit ticket marked "received" and date stamped (when the deposit is made at a commercial bank); and
Copies of G-711s, Individual Fee Register Receipts (if a manual process is used to record any fees).

These should be retained for one year, except for the journal tapes which must be retained for six years and three months.

VI. MANUAL FEE COLLECTIONS: MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

The procedures for manual fee collection using a cash box are designed for general use. At POEs where only one INS employee is
assigned, it may be necessary to make some modifications because of staffing limitations.
A. GENERAL GUIDELINES

Fees collected must be counted, reconciled with manually prepared Forms G-711, Individual Fee Register Receipts, and totals of
applications collected after each shift and cumulatively at the end of each business day. Two principles apply at every stage of the
process:
1.

Fee collections and applications are never counted alone, with the exception of situations at POEs where there is only
one INS staff member on duty.

2.

At every point in which fee collections are transferred from the custody of one individual to another, the transfer is
recorded on Form G-714, Receipt for Funds and Valuables Transferred.

The consistent application of these principles safeguards fees, but just as important, protects employees who must handle the
fees.

At the end of each shift, in the presence of a supervisor or a person designated by the supervisor, the Cashier must perform a
prompt and thorough reconciliation of fees collected. This reconciliation is a three-sided balancing of:
Fees collected,
•

Individual manual receipts (only the prenumbered or serialized G-711 may now be used), and

•

Applications processed.

This reconciliation must be documented on the Fee Reconciliation Worksheet. The documentation will be accomplished by having the
names, titles and signatures of those signing (cashier and supervisor) along with a statement certifying to the accuracy of the cash
count.

B. PROCEDURES WHERE THREE OR MORE INS STAFF MEMBERS ARE PRESENT

The following procedures and methods to ensure segregation of duties will be applied in locations where three or more INS staff are
present: an Immigration Inspector, a Cashier (often an Immigration Aide), and a supervisor. U.S. Customs Service staff or INS
contractors are not by definition INS staff. Modifications allowable in situations where fewer than three staff members cannot be
present are discussed in section VI-C.
The Principal Officer must:
1.

Establish a Cashier's Log and ensure that all Cashiers log in, filling in all appropriate information, such as Cashier name,
date and time for periods that Cashier duties were performed, and total amounts collected at the end of the shift for
each Cashier.

2.

Establish logs to track the following: G-712, Summary of Fees; the G-711, Individual Fee Register Receipt, and SF-215
(local deposit number). Any administrative logs may also be established as deemed necessary by the Port Director.
Forms G-211 and G-253 are no longer valid forms and should be destroyed.

3.

Ensure that Cashiers are trained in their responsibilities.

4.

Ensure that supervisors retain the custody of cash box keys at all times.

5.

Ensure that all accountable officers safeguard both funds and all pertinent supporting documentation (manual receipts,
applications, etc.) needed to perform reconciliation by requiring two distinct steps. First, I -94s and copies of other
applications must be inserted into the slot of a locked box in the custody of the Inspector. Second, fees collected
must be kept in a cash box in the custody of the Cashier. The cash box must be locked and secured when the
Cashier is not using it.

6.

Ensure that each Cashier is provided with their own pack of sequential Forms G-711 and that a log is maintained
showing the sequential numbers assigned to each Cashier. The Principal Officer is to notify the Debt Management
Center of the range of sequentially numbered receipts assigned to Cashiers.

7.

Ensure that Cashiers and supervisors together perform a prompt and thorough reconciliation of fees collected, logs,
manual receipts, and applications processed at the end of each shift.

8.

Ensure that neither money nor applications processed are counted by one person alone.

9.

The Cashier should not count applications and fees collected together. Instead, assign a different person to count I-94s
and other applications. The Cashier may then verify the count of applications, and the second person may verify the
count of fees collected.

10.

Ensure that total fees collected are recorded on the Form G-714, Receipt of Funds and Valuables Transferred, and that
the fees and supporting documents are then placed in a safe (or file cabinet with a bar and combination lock or
locked cash box, as applicable) until a deposit is prepared.

11.

Where there is a shortage or an overage, review the Cashier's memorandum of explanation, making a recommendation
for appropriate action to the Port Director. See section II-D for further information.

12.

When shortages or overages occur, especially repeated instances involving the same accountable officer, initiate an
investigation or take corrective action as the situation warrants.

13.

Establish procedures and safeguard facilities for Change Funds, if established, and ensure that all staff having access to
Change Funds at any time are properly trained.

14.

Secure cash boxes not in use and restrict access to unused receipt forms to supervisory staff.

15.

Ensure proper supervisory oversight of the fee collection process, to include certification of the accuracy of the cash
collected at the end of each shift, immediate review and concurrence of cashier errors, and performance of
unannounced cash counts on Cashiers. The performance and the results of unannounced cash counts need to be
documented in writing.

16.

Establish and maintain a log or file to record and track the results of each unannounced cash count.

17.

Where there are any gaps in manually entered transaction numbers, determine the cause and establish and maintain a
log or file to record and track the results of each review of transaction number gap.

18.

Ensure that all deposit documentation and forms are prepared according to established gUidelines.

c. Staff Responsibilities Where Two INS Staff Members Are Present
Procedures where two INS staff members are present:
If only two staff members are present, one shall serve as Immigration Inspector to receive and handle the application
and one as Cashier to receive and account for the cash.
I-94s and copies of other applications must be inserted into the slot of a locked box in the custody of the Inspector.
~

Fees collected must be kept in a cash box. The cash box must be locked and secured when it is not being used by the
Cashier.
The key to each box must be kept in the custody of the responsible employee.
At the end of the shift, fees must be reconciled with applications and manual receipts, using the procedures applicable in

other situations.
In any cash collection function, where only two persons are present, the possibility of fraud through collusion is greater than in
situations where a supervisor is present and other employees are involved in the reconciliation process. The Principal Officer should
keep this in mind and employ the following additional techniques to monitor the process:
Perform occasional inspections where an unannounced reconciliation is performed,
•

Rotate staff members and supervisors if feasible,
Monitor fee collection statistics to identify and investigate unusual and suspicious fluctuations, and

•

Ensure that all manual receipts are closely monitored to provide that all transactions are accounted for.

D. PROCEDURES WHERE ONLY ONE INS STAFF MEMBER IS PRESENT

I-94s and copies of other applications must be inserted into the slot of a locked box to be opened only at the end of the shift. Fees
collected must be kept in a cash box in the custody of the Cashier. The cash box must be locked when it is not in the direct and
continuous view of the Cashier. The Cashier must safeguard the keys to both boxes. The use of two boxes makes it possible for the
Principal Officer or supervisor to perform occasional inspections where an unannounced reconciliation can be performed.
At the end of the shift, fees must be reconciled using procedures applicable in other situations except only one person will count
cash and applications.
In addition to unannounced inspections, the Principal Officer should employ the following techniques to monitor the process:
•

Rotate staff members and supervisors if feasible,

•

Monitor fee collection statistics to identify and investigate unusual and suspicious fluctuations, and
Ensure that all manual receipts are closely monitored to provide that all transactions are accounted for.

E. MAINTENANCE / SUPPLIES

The Principal Officer is responsible for ensuring that lockable cash boxes, locked boxes with slots for the collection of applications,
required applications, and serialized G-711 receipts, are available.
VII. MANUAL FEE COLLECTION PROCEDURES
A.GENERAL

Fees collected must be stored in a locked cash box or placed immediately in a safe. Records of daily transactions and receipts shall
be manually prepared and transferred to or placed in a locked container as soon as possible.
Application fees collected by each employee are to be maintained in separate receipt facilities, i.e., a separate cash box. At the end
of each shift, employees shall balance the fees collected with the file copies of the Individual Fee Register Receipt, Form G-711 and the

applications taken. The collections and supporting documents shall be deposited in a drop safe or transferred to another employee who
will immediately safeguard them.
Depending on the volume of fee applications, it may be necessary to designate more than one employee to accept fees. When it is
necessary for more than one employee to accept and record application fees, each should be provided with their own pack of
sequential Forms G-711. The Principal Officer should record on a log the beginning and ending numbers on G-711s transferred to the
custody of individual Cashiers. This will help to Identify the individual that handles each transaction and will establish and maintain
accountability by the employee. The Principal Officer is to provide information regarding the range of G-711 numbers assigned at the
location to the DMC.
When it is necessary to transfer custody of fees collected, such as transfer to the safe at the end of a shift, the action must be
recorded on Form G-714, Receipt for Funds and Valuables Transferred.
Personal liability, shortages, and overages are addressed in the section on the Principle of Liability for Public Funds, in section II-D.

B. SUPERVISOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES
The supervisor's responsibilities will include the following:
•

Review and concurrence of Cashier errors through immediate initialing of G-711s and other forms as necessary;

•

Conducting unannounced cash counts and documenting results;
Certification of the accuracy of cash collected at the end of each shift;

•

Certification of the completeness and accuracy of the deposit amount and deposit documentation;

•

Ensuring that POEs do not run out of manual receipts, that only serialized or prenumbered G-711 receipts are used, and
that all receipts are properly accounted for; and
Signing, dating, and providing on the application a clear explanation for any fee waived. Note: Any application for which
a fee is required and subsequently waived also requires an explanation annotated on the application as well as
supervisory concurrence and dated signature.

C. IMMIGRATION INSPECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES
The Immigration Inspector will perform the functions outlined below. If adjudicating applications, the Inspector must not accept
payments or perform Cashier duties, except when only one INS employee is assigned.
Issuance of Permits (1-94, etc.)
The Inspector must:
L

Review the application presented for acceptability.

2.

If acceptable and the application is an 1-94, separate the Arrival/Departure portion and place the Arrival portion through
the slot of a locked box.

3.

If acceptable and the application is other than an 1-94, place the copy or photocopy through the slot of the locked box.

4.

Pass the Departure portion of the 1-94 or other application to the Cashier.

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

5.

Instruct the visitor to go to the Cashier to pay the applicable fee.

6.

Keep all Arrival portions, copies, or photocopies of other applications in the locked box until the end of the day/shift.
These documents will form a transaction record independent from the Cashier and will be counted to establish the
proper amount of fees collected that should be produced by the Cashier.

D. CASHIER'S RESPONSIBILITIES
The Cashier must:

1.

Safeguard fees collected, any funds from the Change Fund, and all supporting documentation that can be used in
reconciliation, including G-711s, Individual Fee Register Receipts.

2.

Account at all times for the accuracy of the cash in the cash box, and safeguard keys if issued. Repayment is required
unless the Cashier can prove he/she did not cause the loss.

3.

Never count money in the cash box during the shift unless the supervisor is performing an unannounced count or
reconciliation.

E. CASHIER'S PROCEDURES
The Cashier must:

1.

Sign in on the Cashier's log.

2.

Record all breaks taken on a cashier's log. Note: This step is required in all cases, but it is critical if a secondary or relief
cashier collects fees using the same cash box during that time. When one Cashier relieves another Cashier for a
break, the Cashier being relieved should count the cash on hand. The cash is then counted by both the Cashier and
relief Cashier and noted on the Cashier's log. When the Cashier returns from the break, another count is made and
noted on the Cashier's log.

3,

Receipt each fee collected individualiy.
individually. For example, a TN application = one receipt for $50 and one receipt for $6. In
another example, a family of four purchasing four I-94s
I -94s = four separate $6 receipts.

4.

Verify that all checks, money orders, or bank drafts are acceptable in accordance with the standards found in Forms of
Payment, section IX.

5.

Endorse each check, money order, and bank draft immediately, using the rubber stamp bearing the phrase "For Deposit
Only, U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service."

6.

Issue a manual receipt using a serialized Form G-711.

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

7.

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

8.

For purposes of reconciliation, retain copies of all receipts issued in the locked box.

9.

If a G-711 receipt must be voided, call the supervisor immediately to initial the VOID. Note: The voided G-711 must be
submitted to the Debt Management Center with the deposit.

F. ACCOUNTING FOR APPLICATIONS PROCESSED DURING EACH SHIFT
The applications collected are totaled separately from fees at the end of each shift. At that time, the superVisor,
supervisor, or person
designated by the supervisor, will open the locked box of applications processed, tally the applications by type, and calculate the fees
that should have been collected. This tally must be conducted in the presence of a second person, usually the Cashier. The supervisor
should then ensure that all applications are provided to the employees assigned responsibility for determining POE statistical counts
and for forwarding to the appropriate offices for processing.

G. ACCOUNTING FOR FEES COLLECTED DURING EACH SHIFT
At the end of the shift, the Cashier must:
1.

In the presence of a supervisor or person designated by the superVisor,
supervisor, count the fees collected from the locked box.

2.

In the presence of a second person designated by the supervisor, reconcile the fees collected with the G-711s
G-71ls and the
count of applications from the locked box and document this reconciliation on the Fee Reconciliation Worksheet.

3.

Log the amount collected on the Cashier's Log.

4.

In the case of a shortage or an overage, the employee will submit a memorandum to the Port Director explaining the
circumstances that caused the discrepancy. This will be done whether or not the employee replaces a loss. Unless the
employee can prove he/she was without fault or negligence, the employee will assume liability for the loss and repay
the funds. Detailed procedures may be found in section II-D.

5.

Sort the fees by type (cash, check, money order, credit card), and bundle each type together. The bills should be
grouped by denomination with all bills facing upright and in the same direction.

6.

Document the reconciliation on the Fee Reconciliation Worksheet. Seal the fees, G-711 receipts, and the completed Fee

Reconciliation Worksheet in an envelope or in another secure manner as determined by the Port Director.
7.

Initial across the flap of the sealed envelope as a deterrent to opening by an unauthorized person. Taping across the
initials is a further deterrent.

8.

Drop or place the sealed envelope in the safe in the presence of the supervisor. Record the action on Form G-714,
Receipt for Funds and Valuables Transferred.

H. LIABILITY DURING THE FEE COLLECTION, RECONCILIATION AND REPORTING STAGES
All employees who collect fees or take part in reconciliations and preparing deposits are considered accountable officers. Any
discrepancies occuring during the reconciliation and reporting stages must be reported through a memorandum in the same manner as
shortages or overages by a Cashier. Further information is found in section II -D.
I. SAFEGUARDING SUPPLIES OF RECEIPTS

It is the responsibility of the Principal Officer to safeguard supplies of blank receipts and to ensure that books of receipts are used
consecutively in order to preserve accountability. It is also the responsibility of the Principal Officer to retrieve and destroy all
remaining unused unnumbered manual receipts. It is the responsibility of the Cashier to safeguard the book of receipts in use and to
issue receipts in numbered order. If a receipt is inadvertently destroyed or damaged and cannot be issued, the Cashier must explain
the situation to the Principal Officer or supervisor who must void and initial the unissued receipt. Voided receipts shall be retained, not
destroyed, and must be submitted to the Debt Management Center along with other receipts. Reviewing voided receipts during the
reconciliation process will provide insight on the validity of the voided receipts.

VIII. MANUAL FEE DEPOSITS
A. POLICY
In general, large POEs will make daily deposits. Small POEs will make weekly or monthly deposits based upon the criteria listed
below. The Department of the Treasury (Treasury Financial Manual 6-8000, Section 8030.20) requires that:

late

•

Deposit sites shall deposit receipts totaling $5,000 or more on the same day received prior to depositary cutoff time.

•

Col

•

In accordance with a deposit waiver granted by Treasury for extremely remote POEs with little collection activity, receipts
of less than $500 can be deposited monthly, provided it has been approved by the Debt Management Center. For
proper oversight and tracking, the DMC should be aware of which POEs are granted the Treasury waiver as well as
the Principal Officers accountable for proper internal controls at remote POEs.

B. PROCEDURES FOR CHECKS AND CASH RECEIVED

Checks Received
Payee Verification: Verify that each check, money order, etc, is properly made out to the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
Refer to Inscription of Checks in Section IX-D.
Deposits to Commercial Bank (General Depositary)
Checks and cash delivered to commercial banks for deposit must be accompanied by an adding machine tape or other listing of the
individual check amounts, totals of the currency, coins and the grand total of the deposit that matches the total of the Deposit Ticket,
Form SF-215.
Deposits to Federal Reserve Banks (FRBs)
Only checks or money orders can be deposited at FRBs. Cash is not accepted at FRBs. Deposits must be submitted to the FRB by
mail or via courier. Deposits cannot be hand-carried to an FRB teller. Please note that if cash is collected at a location, it cannot be
deposited at an FRB unless it is converted to a money order or bank check. This bank check or money order is then included with the
check deposit. The purchase cost of the money order or bank check cannot be deducted from the deposit or any fee collections. The
purchase cost must be paid from an imprest fund or by other means. Contact the INS Debt Management Center for information on
obtaining an alternate depositary.
Check Deposits
Depositing locations must do the follOWing:
•
•

Separate checks into bundles not to exceed 400 items per bundle.
Attach to each bundle of checks an adding machine tape or other listing that details all items in the bundle, the bundle
total, and the Agency Location Code.

•

Provide the totals of each listing and the listing's item count on SF-215.

•

Enclose checks with the SF-215 in a sealed package.

•

Mail all deposits to the FRB location or deliver them by courier to the loading dock at the FRB within designated delivery
hours.

To ensure that the maximum amount of funds are deposited daily, the depositor will establish a schedule allowing the deposits to
reach the FRB before the daily cutoff for Government agency deposits. For further information on the FRB's cutoff and availability for
agency deposits, the depositor may contact the FRB (Check Processing Department) where the checks are deposited.
The mailing of deposits to FRBs may be done only when specifically authorized by Treasury, FMS. If a POE wishes to mail deposits,
the Principal Officer should contact the INS Debt Management Center to make arrangements.
It is recommended that locations mail deposits to FRBs by registered mail. Registered mail is tracked and kept under lock and key
by the Post Office from time of receipt until it is delivered at its final destination. It is important that the depositing location maintain
enough information regarding the checks in the deposit in order to obtain replacement checks if the deposit is lost or destroyed in
transit.

Reconciliation in Preparation of Deposit
The supervisor will assign two employees to make the fee reconciliation in preparation for deposit. These should not include a
Cashier, whose fee collections are included, unless it is necessary in the judgment of the Port Director.
In the presence of the supervisor, the two employees will open the safe and remove the sealed envelopes containing the deposits
for each shift. They will remove the contents of the envelopes to:
Use G-711s, Individual Fee Register Receipts and adding machine tapes to confirm that the total of fees collected equals
the sum of all Forms.
Confirm that consecutive numbers have been used for any Forms G-71l.
G-711.
Prepare blocks 1 through 5 on Form G-712, Summary of Fees. (Instructions for completing this form are provided in LB.,
Forms and Illustrations.)
Secure the deposit. If the deposit is to be prepared by another employee, place the fees, and all other related documents
in a single sealed, identified package of locked bag to be transported to the administrative office that will prepare the
deposit. If the deposit is to be prepared at a later time, return the deposit immediately to the safe. Record each
change of custody on Form G-714, Receipt for Funds and Valuables Transferred.
Detailed instructions for preparing the SF-215 Deposit Ticket are contained in section VIII-C.
Verification and Final Preparation of Deposit
Before final preparation of a deposit for delivery to a depositary, all remittances are counted and verified against supporting
documents by two employees assigned by the supervisor, one of whom is the employee who prepared the deposit. These employees
reconciied for all shifts. After verifying the remittances
will sign the G-712 certifying that the amount for deposit agrees with amounts reconciled
and preparing the deposit ticket, the two employees prepare them for delivery in the following manner:

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

The transfer of remittances from one individual to another is acknowledged on a Receipt for Funds and Valuables Transferred,
Form G-714.

C, PREPARING THE SF-21S, DEPOSIT TICKET

The Form SF-21S, Deposit Ticket, is a five-part form used to deposit funds in a bank. It must be prepared in accordance with the
following standards:

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

Block 1: Deposit Number

• •

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

••

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

Block 2: Date Presented or Mailed to Bank
The date the document was mailed or presented for deposit (not prepared) is typed in Block 2 in 2-digit groups in month, day, and
year order, separated by hyphens, and using zeroes for single-digit dates. For example, October 2, 2002, would be typed 10-02-02.
Note: If you mail the deposit, the correct date for the SF-21S
SF-215 is the date mailed (not the date prepared, in the event there is a
difference). If you walk into a bank lobby to make the deposit at a teller window, the correct date for the SF-21S is the date presented
(again, not the date you prepared the deposit should there be a difference).
Block 3: Agency Location Code (ALC)
This code is provided to each POE by the INS Debt Management Center.
Block LQ5illosit Amount
Report the total deposit amount (including cents) in Block 4. Use appropriate commas and decimal points, but omit dollar and cent
signs.
Example:

9,999,999.99

USINS Debt Management Center
P.O. Box 5000
Williston, VT 05495-5000

Proper Endorsement

Each check must be endorsed with the correct financial endorsement prior to depositing at the banking
institution. This endorsement stamp should include the following:

•

US Immigration - XXX (XXX is the location code, for example, MIA);

•

Agency Location Code (obtained from the Debt Management Center);
The words "for credit to the US Treasury"; and

•

Date of endorsement (this needs to be a changeable date).

The date of endorsement must match the date of the SF-215 Deposit Ticket. The financial institution may
return the entire deposit to the depositing field office if the dates on the endorsement and the SF-215 do not

match. Endorsement for the financial institution must be within the payee endorsement area located 1 1/2
inches from the beginning of the trailing edge of the check. An example is found in Section LB. Forms and
Illustrations.
Distribution of SF-215
The office within the POE preparing the deposit shall:

Make a photocopy of the original for POE records;
Send the Original (top white), Depositary Copy (blue carbon) and Confirmed Copy (green carbon) to the depositary
(bank) with the deposit; and
Mail the Agency Copy (yellow carbon) and Memorandum Copy with applicable supporting documents attached to the INS
Debt Management Center (see Submission of Records of Deposits to the Debt Management Center, section VIII-I) on
a daily basis, or each time a deposit is made.

Note: If the deposit is made over the counter at commercial banks, the "Agency Copy" should be taken to the depositary, and marked
"Received" by the depositary, prior to the POE photocopying and sending it to the INS Debt Management Center, along with the
supporting documentation. When deposits are made by courier, the Port-of-Entry should request from the bank a copy of the deposit
ticket marked "received" and dated.
D. SAFEGUARDING THE DEPOSIT

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

E. FORWARDING THE DEPOSIT TO THE DEPOSITARY (BANK) OR FRB
Items to be forwarded:
The POE will forward the following documents to the depositary:

•

SF-215 (Original, Depositary, and Confirmed copies),
Cash instruments (checks, money orders, cash), and
Adding machine tapes.

Record of Shipment
A record of the shipment of remittances to a depositary, FRB, or by courier is maintained on Form G-221, Schedule of Valuables
Shipped. On the G-221, the deposit number from Block 1 of the SF-215 (not the internal deposit number) must be included.
tvlanner of Shipment
fvlanner

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

Deposits may be mailed to FRBs, but not to commercial depositaries. It is recommended that locations send deposits by registered
mail.
F. USING A COURIER SERVICE TO TRANSFER DEPOSITS

It is essential that the depositary's cutoff times be known prior to designating the time of day that pick-ups will be made by
courier should be as late as possible to maximize daily deposit amounts and still
couriers. The deposit pick-up time designated for the couder
ensure that the courier will deliver the deposit the same day before the depositary's cutoff time.
Courier service contracts shall include acceptable pickup timeframes to ensure deposits reach depositaries in accordance with
Treasury requirements and include contractual provisions with appropriate liquidated damages for failing to deliver deposits to the
designated financial institution by the cutoff time specified.
G. DISPOSITION OF CONFIRMED COPIES

SF-21S to the office shown in Block 9. If the depositary returns the Confirmed
The depositary shall send the Confirmed Copy of the SF-215
Copy of the SF-215
SF-21S to the POE, it shall be sent immediately to the INS Debt Management Center.
H. ADJUSTMENTS TO DEPOSITS

SF-21S cannot be recalled, corrected, nor may it be resubmitted even if an error is discovered after it has been released to a
The SF-215
depositary. When errors are detected, the POE must contact the INS Debt Management Center for further instruction.
I. SUBMISSION OF RECORDS OF DEPOSITS TO THE DEBT MANAGEMENT CENTER

The following requirements apply to records of manually collected fees only.
The following documents must be forwarded by first-class US mail to the INS Debt Management Center, as applicable:
•

Agency and Memorandum copies of the SF-21S,
SF-215, Deposit Ticket;

•

G-711s, Individual Fee Register Receipts (Deposit Copy);

•

Form G-712, Summary of Fees; and

•

The original employee discrepancy memo and the Overage/Shortage Memo Cover Sheet. (Note: This must be sent
whether or not repayment has been made.)

The packet must be mailed on the day of deposit to:
USINS Debt Management Center
P.O. Box 5000

Williston, VT 05495-5000

J. FILE DOCUMENTS TO BE RETAINED BY POEs
POEs should retain:
•

A photocopy of the original of the SF-215, Deposit Ticket;

•

A copy of the G-712 and preferably copies of G-71ls (File Copies);
Originals of G-714, Receipt for Valuables Transferred, and G-221, Schedule of Valuables Shipped;

•

Any Fee Reconciliation Worksheets used in preparation of deposits;
Copies of the deposit ticket marked "received" and date stamped (when the deposit is made at a commercial bank); and

•

Copies of all memoranda related to overages/shortages.

These file documents should be retained for one year.

IX. FORMS OF PAYMENT
Payments for fees must be drawn on an institution located in the U.S. and payable in U.S. currency. Acceptable forms of payment
include the following:
•

Cash,
Personal Check,

•

Cashier's check,

•

Certified bank check,

•

Money order or
Credit Card, where accepted

Unacceptable forms of payment include the folloWing:
~

Foreign currency,
Postage stamps,

•

Food stamps,
Coupons,

Third party personal checks,
Employee personal checks,
Mutilated paper U.S. currency, and
Damaged coins.
A. AMOUNT OF CHECKS OR MONEY ORDERS

Ordinarily, only fees in the correct amount will be acceptable. However, when POEs are situated great distances from banks, stores,
etc. where other means of payment may be obtained, the following exceptions may be made:
U.S. Government checks (endorsed by the payee to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service), domestic travelers checks, or
money orders must not exceed the amount of the fee by more than $50.

B. COUNTERFEIT MONEY

The Cashier must look closely at the money when accepting a fee payment. Paying attention to the quality of printing, security
threads, microprinting, and paper characteristics of the money can help guard against accepting counterfeit money. A booklet entitled
"Know Your Money," designed by the U.S. Secret Service to help detect counterfeit money and guard against losses because of
forgery, is available from Government Printing Office Bookstores. The booklet is also available at Www.ustreas.gov/ussSI
Www.ustreas.goV/lJSSSI on the
internet.
If the Cashier suspects that counterfeit money is presented as payment, he/she should follow these instructions taken from that
booklet:

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

C. REVIEW OF CHECKS, MONEY ORDERS, ETC.

Each check, money order, or other negotiable instrument presented must be carefully reviewed before it is accepted as payment
for a fee. Missing or incorrect data will result in banks returning the payment as "Unable to Process." The Cashier must be sure that
the following key elements for each negotiable instrument are reviewed before being accepted:
•

Date: The date should be current and not stale-dated (over six months old). Undated checks can be accepted provided
the current date is inserted.

•

Payee: Refer to Inscription on Checks below.

•

Address and phone number of payee (may be handwritten).

•

Amount: If the written and numeric amounts differ, the check will be deposited and the collection processed for the
written amount.
Signature: Checks must be signed.
Bank: Verify that the bank is an institution located in the U.S. and that funds are payable in U.S. currency.

Required Identification.
D. INSCRIPTION OF CHECKS

Checks should be made payable to the "Immigration and Naturalization Service." Checks should never be made out payable to
"INS" because the check is easy to alter (e.g., LN. Smith). Under no circumstances should visitors make, or may INS staff accept,
checks payable to individual officers or employees of the U.S. Government by name.
E. REQUIRED IDENTIFICATION

Each check, including personal checks, business checks, certified checks, and money orders, requires identification. Two forms of
identification are preferred. At a minimum, one form of legal, government-issued picture identification is required. The picture must
match the person presenting the check. If the check is a business check, the person presenting the check must show evidence of
employment with the firm. Examples of government-issued picture identification include:
Current driver's license,
Alien Registration Card (ARC),
INS Employment Authorization Card, or
As an alternate, a foreign government-issued passport.
F. RECORDING THE INFORMATION

The identifying number of the identification presented should be recorded legibly on the face of the check. For example, the U.S.
Social Security Number, if available, and driver's license number, ARC number, credit card number, etc., are to be recorded on the
face of the check or money order. The manual receipt number must also be written on the face of the check. These numbers are
essential for tracing a returned check to the applicant. Note: When the remitter and the applicant are not the same person, applicant
information must also be entered onto the check.
G. ENDORSEMENT
POEs should use a rubber stamp to affix the proper endorsement on the check.
Checks must be endorsed immediately with a stamp saying" For Deposit Only, US Immigration and Naturalization Service" when
accepted as payment for a fee.

Endorsement for checks must be within the payee endorsement area located 1 112 inches from the beginning of the trailing edge of
the check.

X. CHANGE FUNDS
A. POLICY

The Immigration and Naturalization Service shall establish Change Funds in accordance with applicable principles and standards in
the Supplement to the Treasury Financial Manual entitled "Manual of Procedures and Instructions for Cashiers" and the INS "Cashier's
Handbook".
Funds shall not be advanced for Change Funds unless adequate facilities for safeguarding cash are available.
A Change Fund shall not be established for more than $500.
POEs, depending on volume and staffing, may deem it necessary to have more than one Change Fund. Having a separate Change
Fund for each Cashier or shift may provide easier accountability and control than passing the Change Fund to a new Cashier after
counting and signing a Form G-277, Report of Imprest Fund Verification.
B. ESTABLISHING CHANGE FUNDS

Change Funds shall be requested in an amount not to exceed the actual amount needed for change-making purposes. To establish
Change Funds,
•

District Directors, or their designees, shall complete a Form OF-211, Request for Change or Establishment of Fund, for
each POE requiring Change Funds.

•

The Forms OF-211 must be submitted to the Director, Dallas Finance Center, for signature. Only the original Form OF211 need be signed.

•

Upon receipt, the Director will sign section VI, return a copy to the appropriate requesting office, and maintain a file
copy.

All such requests must be supported by INS Form 2958, Designation of Cashier.

Change Funds should be maintained with small denominations of currency to provide maximum flexibility in meeting U.S. currency
change-making requirements.

C. AUTHORIZED USE OF CHANGE FUNDS

The sole purpose of Change Funds is to make change for U.S. currency.
Change Funds shall not be commingled with fee receipts.
Change Funds may not at any time (even for a short period of time) be used for:

•

Loaning official funds;
Personal purposes, to include cashing personal checks; or
Exchanging money with other funds, personal or otherwise.

D. INCREASING AUTHORIZED AMOUNT

The amount of cash authorized and advanced may be increased, as the needs of the organization require, but cannot exceed $500.
To obtain an increase, the District Director, or his/her designee, shall submit a request supported by a justification to the Director,
Dallas Finance Center.
E. REDUCING OR CLOSING THE CHANGE FUND

It may be determined, on the basis of experience or because of changed conditions, that an excessive amount of cash is being
maintained or the need for the fund no longer exists. In those cases, the District Director, or his/her designee, will forward a Form OF211 along with a Cashier's check or money order for the returned funds to the Director, Dallas Finance Center, by registered mail
(return receipt requested), to have the fund reduced to a level commensurate with operating needs or to have the fund discontinued.
F. ACCOUNTABILITY FOR TRANSFER OF THE CHANGE FUND BETWEEN CASHIERS

Funds may be advanced to an employee for brief periods for approved purposes upon execution of a properly prepared SF-1165,
Interim Receipt for Cash. For example, an employee may take large denomination bills to a bank to exchange for smaller
denominations of currency.
A Form G-277, Report of Imprest Fund Verification, shall be prepared whenever there is a transfer of accountability for the Change
Fund, such as a change in Cashiers. The outgoing Cashier will sign Form G-277, and the incoming Cashier will sign the Verification
section of the form after verifying the Change Fund balance. The Remarks section shall state that accountability for the Change Fund is
transferred to the name of the incoming Cashier. Each Cashier shall retain a copy of the completed Form G-277 and a copy of the form
will also be forwarded to the Dallas Finance Center.
G. SAFEKEEPING FACILITIES FOR CHANGE FUNDS

Safekeeping facilities should be tailored to the size of the fund, as well as the vulnerability of the facility.
Small Funds ($50 or less). Relatively small funds may be stored in a file cabinet. A bar and combination lock must be
installed on the file cabinet as file cabinets with just key locks are inadequate.
•

Larger Funds (Over $50). Larger funds shall be stored in a relatively non-removable safe with a three-position dial
combination feature.
As cash requires absolute security, it is extremely important that security be constantly maintained over the Change Fund.
Therefore:
Principal Officers and Cashiers shall maintain exclusive control of their respective Change Fund, and work from separate
cash boxes or safe drawers, regardless of the type of safekeeping facilities provided.
A duplicate key to cash boxes shall be placed in a secure envelope, signed, dated and retained in a secure area controlled

by an appropriate official.
•

Change Funds shall be kept separate from all other funds.
Cash may not be stored in:
•

File cabinets with key locks;

•

Desk drawers;
Depositories and safe deposit boxes in the name of the Principal Officer or Cashier.
Accountability will be strengthened if Change Funds are maintained and controlled by one individual for each shift.

H. VERIFICATION OF FUNDS
The amount of cash shall be verified daily by the Principal Officer or Cashier responsible for the Change Fund. A suggested aid to
document cash verification is Form G-277, Report of Imprest Fund Verification. The G-277 will also provide a breakdown of the coins
and currency in the fund to determine if the denominations are sufficient to meet currency change-making requirements.
In accordance with Treasury requirements, POE Change Funds, exclUding remote locations, shall be verified quarterly by
unannounced audits by immediate supervisors, District Administrative Officers or the Dallas Finance Center. Treasury will give
consideration to the location of the Cashier, the amount of the fund, and other relevant factors if an audit requirement, other than
quarterly, is established. The District Director will ensure that an independent INS office will perform audits of Change Funds at least
once each fiscal year and document their findings. Findings will be sent to the Dallas Finance Center, and a copy will be provided to the
Port Director.
Unannounced audits of Change Funds will verify that:
•

All funds are properly accounted for;
The amount of the fund is not in excess of the cash requirements;
Unauthorized use of the funds is not occurring;
Procedures are being followed to protect the funds from loss or misuse.

I. Verification of Change Funds $200 or Less in POEs in Remote Locations
The Department of the Treasury approved INS's request for a waiver related to Change Fund audits at remote locations. Treasury
waived the regulation for verifying cash balances each quarter at POEs in remote locations, with Change Funds established for $200
and less. A location shall be considered "remote" when postal or banking services are not available for a radius of approximately 25
miles or an extraordinary circumstance exists, i.e., a ferry, which is time consuming and costly, must be taken to reach a town.
When visiting location sites having Change Funds, District Administrative Officers, INS Finance officials, or immediate supervisors
will conduct unannounced verifications of the cash balance in Change Funds. The results of these verifications will be forwarded as
specified below in order to meet the minimum Treasury reqUirement of an annual verification. Individuals verifying the Change Funds
shall count the cash, and complete and sign a Form G-277, Certificate of Verification. The original Certificate of Verification shall be

forwarded to the Dallas Finance Center for review and retention. A copy of the certificate shall also be retained at the Change Fund
site.
More comprehensive and frequent audits can be done at the discretion of cognizant authorities such as the District Director or the
Office of Financial Management. The frequency of audits will depend on the location, the amount of the fund, and other relevant
factors.

J. PERSONAL LIABILITY FOR CHANGE FUNDS
While acting as custodian of a Change Fund, the official is personally liable (legally responsible) for the Government money and
obligated to perform duties faithfully. For further information see section II-D.

XI. REFUNDS
A. POLICY
Only the District Director or his/her formally named designee is authorized to determine that a refund is warranted. In that case, a
revised Form G-266, Request for Refund of Fee, shall be processed to reimburse an applicant for a fee previously paid. It is INS policy
that refunds are issued only in the case of Service error.
Form G-266 can be found on the INS Intranet in the "Table of Contents" section and on the cc:Mail bulletin board under "Finance
Notices." Only one refund request may be made on each form.

XII. SAFEGUARDING COLLECTIONS AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS
The Principal Officer will have primary responsibility to ensure that appropriate security and accountability for funds and valuables
received and accepted by INS employees are maintained to the fullest extent possible. Similar security and accountability is also to be
maintained over all supporting documents which record individual INS transactions such as applications, manual receipts/ as well as all
material documenting transaction history such as cash register tapes and Forms G-253, Daily Registers of Fee Receipts/ etc. In
addition to establishing the following procedures regarding collections, supervisors are also to establish procedures specific to their POE
in order to ensure independent accounting of transactions and proper safeguarding of documents supporting them.
A. PERSONNEL
The recruitment/ screening, and selection of persons for positions reqUiring the performance of cash functions should be
accomplished by supervisors with primary regard to the sensitive nature of those positions and with the safeguarding of public funds as
their ultimate objective.
Accountable employees must be able to account for the full amount of funds being held at any given time. Employees performing
coilection duties are responsible for maintaining appropriate accounting and internal controls for the assets for which they are
responsible. Responsibility continues from the time the fees are collected until proper and acceptable accounting of the fees is made
and the receipts are either deposited or turned over to another individual.
Officials are personally liable (legally responsible) for the Government money in their custody and are obligated to faithfully
perform duties. Personal liability is addressed in the section on the Principle of Liability for Public Funds, in section II -D.

Bo SEGREGATION OF DUTIES

Segregation of duties is an important facet in maintaining accountability ;n the fee collection and fee handling process. It is a
management tool that provides a system of checks and balances in the fee collection process. While the Cashier remains fully
accountable or responsible for the Government funds in his/her custody, segregation of duties provides that the integrity of the
process is maintained by establishing a division of accountability. Establishing segregation of duties will prevent a single person (the
Cashier) from having total control over fees taken and the means to account for them. For these reasons, segregation of duties must
be established and maintained throughout the entire process.
The following are examples of segregation of duties:
Dividing the Inspection and Cashier functions by:

•

1.

Requiring the Inspector to separate the Departure portion of the Form 1-94 and retain the Arrival portion in a locked box
in order to keep an independent count of the Forms 1-94 issued, before the applicant proceeds to the Cashier.

2.

Requiring the Inspector to retain a copy of other applications, such as an 1-90 or 1-193, in a locked box, before the
applicant proceeds to the Cashier.

Requiring two people (Cashier and verifier who is not the Officer working with the Cashier) to count the cash at the end of a day
or shift,
Requiring a separate person, preferably a supervisor, to initial off on "Void" entries on the journal tape and, under the manual fee
collection process, on the G-211 or the G-711 immediately after the void occurs. The void must also be recorded on the G253.
Requiring the supervisor, rather than the Cashier, to retain custody of the keys to the cash register, etc.

C. DROP SAFES
Drop safes enable individuals to deposit funds in safes without having access to safe combinations.
Funds are placed in a sealed envelope and dropped through the slot of the drop safe. Individuals must initial over the
sealing point of the envelope before depositing in the drop safe slot so it can be determined if the envelopes were
opened after being sealed. Taping across the initials is a further deterrent.
Two individuals shall be assigned to open the sealed envelopes and verify the seal and contents. Accountability can only
be maintained if more than one individual verifies the envelope seal and contents of each envelope.
At certain times, the individual with the safe combination opens the drop safe and, in the presence of another individual,
removes all envelopes deposited. Funds are then prepared for deposit.

D. SAFE COMBINATIONS
Safe combinations shall be memorized. Safe combinations should be placed in sealed envelopes, signed, dated and retained in a
secure place that is controlled by an appropriate official, i.e. Security Officer, Administrative Officer, etc. They may not be carried on
the person, written on a desk calendar or stored in a desk.
•

Combinations shall be changed:

At least annually, and
When there is a change of any accountable officer with access to the safe;
When it has been necessary to effect access to the funds in the case of an unforeseen absence of the employee; or
When the combination has otherwise been made known to unauthorized employees or otherwise compromised.

If, in the event of an unforeseen absence or other emergency, it is necessary to access an accountable employee's storage
facility, the Principal Officer shall appoint at least two employees to effect access and account for any funds and
valuables on hand.
More information on this subject is available in the INS Security Officers' Handbook.

E. PASSWORDS AND PINs
Passwords and Personnel Identification Numbers (PINs) must be memorized. They should also be placed in sealed envelopes,
signed, dated and retained in a secure place that is controlled by an appropriate official, i.e. Security Officer, Administrative Officer,
etc. They may not be carried on the person, written on a desk calendar or stored in a desk.
Passwords and PINs shall be changed:
When it has been necessary for another person to gain access to the password or PIN in the case of an unforeseen event,
or
When the password or PIN has otherwise been made known to unauthorized empioyees or otherwise compromised.
Passwords and PINs are personal identifiers. When an employee having a password or PIN leaves his/her position, the new
employee selects or is assigned new passwords or PINs. Passwords/PINs programmed into cash registers should be
deleted when no longer used.

F. COURIER SERVICE CONTRACTS
Volume I of the Treasury Financial Manual 6-8030.30 states that deposits will be made as late as possible prior to the specified
cutoff time of the depositary to maximize daily deposit amounts. Treasury's definition of cutoff time is a time predesignated by a
financial institution beyond which transactions presented or actions requested will be deferred to the next banking day's business.
It is recommended that locations mail deposits to FRBs by registered mail. Registered mail is tracked and kept under lock and key
by the Post Office from time of receipt until it is delivered at its final destination. It is important that the depositing location maintain
enough information regarding the checks in the deposit in order to obtain replacement checks if the deposit is lost or destroyed in
transit.
It is essential that the depositary's cutoff time be known prior to designating the time of day that pickups will be made by couriers.
The pickup time designated for the courier should be as late as possible to maximize daily deposit amounts and also insure the pickup
will be delivered for deposit before the depositary's cutoff time.
Courier service contracts shall include acceptable pickup timeframes to insure deposits reach depositaries in accordance with

Treasury requirements and include contractual provisions with appropriate liquidated damages for failing to deliver deposits to the
designated financial institution by the cutoff time specified.

G. CASH REGISTER INVENTORY
The Center's staff must know how many cash registers are at each POE and their make and model. In addition, each cash register
at a service location must be designated by a unique number. Therefore, when cash register inventories change (i.e. additions,
deletions, malfunctions, or replacements), the Port Director or his/her designee must notify the DMC of the change. Notification must
be written format. The POE may choose a method such as facsimile, e-mail, or by a note with the deposit.

H. CASHIER ROOM CONSTRUCTION RECOMMENDATIONS
Cashier Rooms shall be constructed to protect both employees and funds. Specific security guidance can be obtained from the INS
Office of Security. The following construction measures should be considered for areas that handle funds and valuables:

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

More information on this subject is available in the INS Security Officers'
Offfcers' Handbook.

Overtime Review
Part I. Introduction
Audits will be conducted of ports-of-entry (POEs) in each district annually by designated District Overtime
Control Officers (DOCO) as part of the national Inspections Program overtime management and assessment
program. The National Overtime Control Officer will conduct independent audits of POEs and also review the
reports prepared by the DOCOs. These audits will assist the Service in management of overtime expenditures
in the Inspections Program.

Part II. Purpose
The purpose of the audits is to insure that overtime funds are used appropriately and in accordance with
Headquarters directives and gUidance. The intent of the assistant commissioner, Inspections is to document
the cost-effectiveness and prudent administration of overtime expenditures. The audit teams will provide
documentation to the Inspections Program managers showing how field units are complying with current
policy and/or provide suggestions for improvement.
The audits will help the districts document their performance in this critical area and will provide regional and
Headquarters program personnel the opportunity to evaluate the districts' performance and make suggestions
as appropriate.

Part III. Background
The Service has for many years been the SUbject of substantial scrutiny by various outside entities for its
expenditures of perceived large amounts of money for the inspection of passengers and crew arriving in the
U.S. from foreign territories. These entities have repeatedly cited a lack of management control of
expenditures for inspections performed and compensated under the Act of March 2, 1931. General policy for
control of overtime assignments is set forth in AM 1.3.104.
The Service made several policy changes, as a result of audits and reports, to ensure that the overtime funds
are used prudently. They included, but were not limited to, the following:
Critical elements were added concerning overtime in the Performance Work Plans for all supervisory
personnel, from the first line supervisor through Headquarters personnel. This was accomplished in the

Commissioner's memorandum of October 17, 1989 (CO 235-P):
A recent review of scheduling and billing practices involving 1931 Act overtime has been conducted by the
Office of Inspections. The audit has identified various areas where Service policies and practices must be
changed in order to fulfill our responsibility to wisely expend both appropriated and user fee funds.
These changes were identified through both desk and on-site examinations of scheduling and billing practices
at over a dozen ports of entry, as well as through the efforts of an overtime study group convened in March at
Central Office. The group was composed of Assistant Regional Commissioners, their representatives, Central
Office Inspections Program personnel, and representatives from Central Office Labor Relations and Finance
divisions. The following items delineate the problems identified by the group and substantiated by the port of
entry audits.
Scheduling is used to maximize overtime earnings in certain locations.
Overtime wheels are not accounting for all overtime earnings in computing totals toward the
congressionally mandated cap of $25,000 (Note: cap raised to $30,000 since this memo was issued),
when per year.
Many local union agreements are in direct contravention to national policy and to the Administrative Manual
regarding overtime policy.
Waivers of the $25.000 (Note: cap raised to $30,000 since this memo was issued) cap are granted routinely
without review of scheduling practices or need.
District and regional offices of the Inspections program frequently do not review expenditures of 1931 Act
overtime funds at specific ports of entry within their jurisdictions.
The audits conducted to date have identified at least $2,500,000 in excessive 1931 Act overtime billings
during the current fiscal year. By eliminating the above practices and administering overtime in compliance
with existing policy, a significantly larger amount will be available in coming years to provide added personnel
and equipment for the Inspections Program.
One of the most effective means of improving management of the overtime accounts is through the
Performance Work Plans of key officials. With few exceptions, it has been noted that the plans of Regional
Commissioners, District Directors, and other Inspections Program and Examinations Program managers with
Inspections program oversight do not hold these officials specifically accountable for the cost effectiveness of
1931 Act expenditures at ports of entry within their jurisdictions. In order to correct this deficiency, the
following policy shall become effective as of the date of this directive.

Fiscal Responsibility for Overtime Monies
The attached is a model of a critical element, specifically requiring the responsible and efficient administration
of overtime. Rating officials shall use this model as a point of departure, and, if necessary, tailor the
performance standard to reflect specific requirements and conditions which are unique to a particular work
environment. Such a critical element shall be placed in the Performance Work Plans of all managers with
responsibility for oversight of inspectional operations. This element shall specifically address scheduling
practices and the need for advanced planning to wisely utilize personnel resources. The Assistant
Commissioner for Inspections; Associate Regional Commissioners for Operations; Assistant Regional
Commissioners for Examinations and Inspections; District Directors; Deputy District Directors; Officers-inCharge; Assistant Officers-in-Charge; Assistant District Directors for Examinations; Assistant District Directors
for Inspections; Deputy Assistant District Directors for Inspections; Port Directors; Assistant and Deputy Port
Directors; and Supervisory Immigration Inspectors shall be held accountable for the proper expenditure of
overtime monies utilizing this method. Incorporation of a job element and accompanying performance
standard into an employees work plan requires discussion with the employee, rating official and reviewing
official on the employee's work plan acknowledging the addition.

CRITICAL ELEMENT; FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR OVERTIME MONIES
JOB ELEMENT: Incumbent is accountable for the efficiency and cost effectiveness of Inspections Program
personnel and overtime resources.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:
Fully successful: Evaluates use of resources in order to determine cost savings methods; e.g., possible
elimination or combination of programs, personnel realignments for greater cost effectiveness. Determines
cost savings methods and establishes procedures to implement and monitor their effects. Makes accurate
projections of resource needs and maintains close communication with district, region and Central Office
on changes in expenditures of funds to achieve maximum use of resources. Insures full compliance with
Service instructions and Congressional mandate to limit overtime earnings of employees to $30,000 each
per year. Performs necessary adjustments in operations procedures and field assignments which prevent
the expenditure of overtime funds for overtime services exceeding $30,000 for each employee. If it is
determined that an individual employee is projected to exceed the overtime earnings ceiling of $30,000,
incumbent exhausts all other scheduling possibilities before requesting a waiver pursuant to Service
policy.
Excellent: In addition to fully successful, the incumbent deploys employee resources to the Inspections
Program so that costs for overtime, travel, and related inspections expenditures are maintained within
allocated amounts. Makes prompt decisions, often under high pressure conditions and takes appropriate
actions. Adjusts priorities based on changing needs and circumstances. Determines the nature and

availability of resources needed to respond SWiftly to special situations and makes necessary and timely
adjustments in resource allocations. Identifies existing or potential problems and decides on solutions.
Coordinates with district, regional, and Central Office managers, officials from other agencies, and other
individuals to evaluate progress in meeting objectives of emergency or other special situations. Incumbent
assures that all employees stay at or below the $30,000 individual earnings cap set by Congress.

Minimally successful: Due to oversight or negligence, incumbent allows inspections costs to noticeably
increase disproportionally in relation to expected workload. Alternatively, due to negligence or oversight,
allows overtime earnings in one location to reach the point that it is necessary to cease assigning some
employees to overtime work well before the end of the fiscal year. While waivers of the overtime cap may
be necessary, such need does not occur due to negligence or oversight in the incumbent's administration
of overtime monies.
Measures were directed requiring strict control of overtime assignments and expenditures. Bi- weekly reviews
of all duty assignment sheets and Forms G-202 by District and Regional Offices were instituted in a
memorandum dated April 6, 1990 (CO 235-P):
During FY '89, the Office of Inspections conducted a comprehensive audit of 1931 Act overtime practices at
ports of entry in all four regions. Servicewide patterns of overtime spending were examined, through both
desk and on-site audits of overtime administration, in more than a dozen ports of entry. Further, overtime has
been the subject of audits by outside entities, including the Department of Justice, and has resulted in
criticism of Service overtime policies.
This scrutiny has revealed that many managers authorize overtime in a responsible manner. However, certain
problems with use and control of overtime have been identified at audit sites and elsewhere. Such practices
violate Service policy and have other serious consequences.
Review of scheduling practices at both large and small inspectional facilities has revealed a growing problem
in justifying expenditures for overtime. At several airports no evening shift is scheduled, despite the fact that
35% or more of regularly scheduled flights arrive at night, and adequate staff exists to work such a shift. At
other facilities, both air and sea ports of entry, between 30% and 50% of arrival occur between the hours of 5
a.m. and 8 a.m., with no standard shift to cover the workload. Similarly, in at least two instances seaport
personnel are scheduled from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. only, when less than 5% of all arrivals occur during these
hours.
In addition, in many locations, the 40 hour work week of Immigration Inspectors is scheduled Monday through
Friday rather than the mandated Monday through Saturday. Overtime in the form of '45 Act funds is being
utilized to staff Saturday inspectional services.
It is important to remember that inspectional overtime monies are to be expended for the expeditious

inspection of arriving passengers and the good of the Service. The use of other officers not assigned full time
to the Inspections Program is designed to meet these objectives. The number of officers assigned to overtime
should not exceed actual staffing needs.
Union notification has been handled by the Central Office labor Relations Specialists on the national level
issues. Where local agreements are not in conformity with the national policy, management shall give notice
to the union at the district level and bargain in accordance with the negotiated agreement. Where requested
by the local union, reasonable extensions of time for bargaining shall be granted to permit participation of
national union officials in the local bargaining.
Policy.
In recognition of the problems listed above, anq in order to improve and standardize accountability for
overtime expenditures as well as to streamline scheduling to minimize the need for overtime, the following
policy shall be implemented. This policy provides direction for the control of 1931 and 1946 Act overtime and
is to be implemented after Service compliance with all contractual obligations to the employee unions at the
national and local levels.
1. Scheduling Saturday as part of the basic work week at all ports of entry. Within the constraints of
available staffing, inspectional service shall be scheduled for all ports Monday through Saturday. Such
scheduling shall focus on the elimination of recurring assignments of 1945 Act overtime on Saturdays. A
bargaining unit employee may be scheduled on Saturday solely to perform supervisory functions;
however, this should occur only when management determines that a Service need exists.
2. Scheduling basic tours of duty at seaports and airports to cover a greater portion of the working
day. Consistent with the negotiated agreement and the law enforcement mission of the Service, tours of
duty shall be established at seaports and airports where arrivals routinely occur outside of the currently
established hours on other than Sundays. Such tours of duty shall be arranged after review of port arrival
trends and shall be commensurate with current levels of staffing and the distribution of workload. Where
appropriate, regions and districts shall review port of entry scheduling practices to ensure that regularly
scheduled flights or ships are scheduled for inspection on regular shifts, the Service shall give due
consideration to the effect such shifts will have on the employees' personal lives, where operationally
feasible.
3. Inspector to passenger ratios at airports. The inspector to passenger ration used for making overtime
assignments shall be the same as those used during the regularly scheduled workweek. Excluding
supervisory and secondary inspections officers, the staffing ratios on overtime shall not be less than the
following without prior explicit approval by the regional Commissioner and Central Office, Inspections:
(a)

At U.S. airports: One to forty-five (1 - 45) on all alien flights; one to sixty (1 - 60) for mixed flights;

one to one hundred (1 - 100) on U.S. citizen (including returning residents) flights.
(b)

At preclearance locations: One to sixty (1 - 60) for mixed flights; and one to one hundred (1 -100)
on U.S. citizen (including returning residents) flights.

On-duty inspectors are to be utilized to the fullest extent possible to reduce ratios rather than permit
backup of passengers in inspection areas. For example, inspectors shall not be withheld from inspections
to work on adjudications or collateral duty assignments while a passenger backup is occurring in the
inspection area.
In addition, an unprojected overtime cost increase of over 10 percent over the prior pay period shall trigger
an automatic review of local scheduling practices. Any absence of immigration inspectors on detail
(excluding training), shall then be reviewed by the District Director, in concert with the affected regional
program managers; to reassess the need for continuing any given detail. Scheduling of assignments shall
be revised when appropriate.
4. All overtime earnings are subject to the statutory overtime cap. Administratively Uncontrollable
Overtime, 1931 Act and 1945 Act overtime shall be included in overtime computations, when appropriate.
It shall be the responsibility of each officer and his or her first line supervisor to assure that such earnings
are reported in a timely manner to the Overtime Control Officer.

5. Employees who are eligible to work inspectional overtime and do not wish to do so shall be
identified. Employees who are eligible to work inspectional overtime and do not wish to do so shall be
identified, shall not be required to work overtime except when needed, and may be excused from working
overtime in keeping with local staffing and workload projections. However, any eligible employee may be
required to work on an overtime basis when management determines that a Service need exists.
6. Equitable distribution of overtime. Overtime assignments shall be equitably distributed, and tracked
on a monetary basis. Such assignments and earnings shall be reconciled, at minimum, quarterly. Such
reconciliation shall ensure that all employees remain within the statutory overtime earnings cap. Nothing in
this policy shall preclude the establishment of other than monetary overtime wheels.
.
7. Limiting the participation in 1931 Act overtime of officers in grades GM-13 and GM-14. No one
above the grade of GM-14 shall participate in inspectional overtime in any capacity. Participation at the
GM-13 and GM-14 level shall be restricted to Port Directors and Assistant Port Directors. Such
participation shall not be regularly scheduled and shall, in fact, occur on random shifts on an irregular
basis. Time spent in '31 Act activity shall only be spent in first line supervision of immigration inspectors
engaged in inspecting applicants for entry into the United States. It shall not be spent in completing
administrative paperwork, training, or other non-inspectional activity.

8. Exercising more rigorous control over scheduling and billing of overtime. All management
personnel in the Inspections Program chain of command, including participating supervisors, are
responsible for the administration and control of overtime.
(a) A critical element, specifically requiring the responsible and efficient administration of overtime, shall
be placed in the Performance Work Plans of all managers with responsibility for oversight of
inspectional operations. This element shall specifically address scheduling practices and the need for
advanced planning to Wisely utilize personnel resources. The Associate Commissioner, Examinations;
Assistant Commissioner, Inspections; Regional Commissioners; Deputy Assistant Commissioners,
Inspections; Associate Regional Commissioners, Operations; Assistant Regional Commissioners,
Examinations and Inspections; District Directors; Deputy District Directors; Officers-in-Charge;
Assistant Officers-in-Charge; Assistant District Directors, Examinations; Assistant District Directors,
Inspections; Port Directors; Deputy Port Directors; and Supervisory Immigration Inspectors shall all be
held accountable for the proper expenditure of overtime monies utilizing this method.
(b) Officers-in-charge and Supervisory Immigration Inspectors shall maintain strict control of overtime
assignments and expenditures. Such officers shall conduct a continuing in depth review of all work
schedules, staffing patterns, primary inspection activity reports, duty assignment sheets, secondary
inspection logs, and schedules of arriving vessels and aircraft. Information obtained from such a
review shall be used to ascertain where and when changes in scheduling and overtime assignments
will result in more efficient and economical operations. Their efforts shall be regularly monitored at the
district and regional levels.
(c) District and regional offices shall review biweekly all duty assignments sheets (G-259a). Such a
review shall ensure that Sunday and holiday assignments, for primary and secondary, are held to a
minimum. Such assignments shall be commensurate with actual workloads, established inspector to
passenger ratios, and normal as well as seasonal traffic patterns. Primary and secondary staffing on
all overtime assignments, including Sundays and holidays, shall not exceed weekday staffing,
inclUding supervisors, without a valid justification and advance approval. Sunday and holiday staffing
which exceeds weekday staffing for comparable passenger loads must be specifically authorized by
the Regional Commissioner.
(d) The use of Form G-202A, Inspection -- Order and Report, shall be instituted. It shall be reviewed
daily by supervisors and biweekly by both the district and regional Inspections Program Managers.
Any errors in billing shall be corrected by the executing officer. Inadvertent charges which have been
paid shall be immediately referred to the appropriate Regional Finance Office so that such monies can
be recovered.
(e) The CINSP-33 Report, Form G-690, System to Review and Control '31 Act Overtime, shall be

reinstituted and shall serve as the vehicle to monitor the results of these procedures.
Each monthly report shall contain a summary of specific actions taken to carry out all provisions of this
directive. Included shall be the results achieved in terms of changes effected, problem areas or
discrepancies identified and corrected, and dollar amounts saved. Regional reports shall cover the
above items by district.
9. Scheduling of Supervisory Immigration Inspectors and Supervisors from other decision units. All
Supervisory Immigration Inspectors shall be scheduled for a basic work week of five days, Monday
through Saturday. Such scheduling shall focus on the elimination of recurring assignments of 1945 Act
and 1931 Act overtime on Saturdays to provide supervisory coverage. Supervisors from decision units
other than the Inspections Program who participate in inspectional duties shall do so as journeymen
Immigration Inspectors, not as Supervisory Immigration Inspectors.
10. Overtime scheduling of Supervisory Immigration Inspectors. When the number of immigration
officers required to perform inspectional duties on a particular shift is adjusted, the number of Supervisory
Immigration Inspectors scheduled for that shift shall be adjusted proportionally.
All pertinent portions of the Administrative Manual will be amended to conform with this policy. Forms G-202
and G-690 are being revised and updated. Existing supplies of current forms should be utilized until such
revisions are available.
District Directors were required to conduct bi-weekly reviews of a random sample of time and attendance
reports, pursuant to a memorandum dated March 4, 1992 (C) 235-P):
In the recent draft report on inspectional overtime by the Department of Justice, Office of the Inspector
General (OIG), several recommendations were made to improve district control over inspectional overtime
costs. Our reply to these recommendations indicated that instructions would be provided to each district to
implement the OIGs recommendations.
In most cases these instructions merely re-emphasize or clarify policies for management and control of
inspectional overtime that have been previously issued as official Service policy by the Executive Associate
Commissioner for Operations. The following instructions are to be implemented upon receipt of this
memorandum.
1. District Directors shall conduct biweekly reviews of a random sample of time and attendance reports
from among all officers who perform inspections, or who supervise officers conducting inspections, to
determine whether all claimed payments for inspectional overtime are appropriate and provide the most
efficient use of resources.

Based on the findings of these reviews, District Directors shall certify in writing, by memoranda, that
charges for payments as a result of performance of inspectional overtime were reviewed, that all Service
policies for management and control of inspectional overtime were complied with and, where indicated b
the review, that immediate action to correct errors or deficiencies in time and attendance reporting has
been taken. Copies of these certifications shall be filed with local time and attendance records.
2. District Directors will ensure that all Forms G-202, Inspection Order, Report and Certification, for all
Immigration Officers who are not classified as Immigration Inspectors, are approved by the supervisor or
manager ordering the overtime inspection, and that the approved form G-202 is then promptly sent to the
appropriate timekeeper at the Immigration Officer's regUlar duty station for review and processing.
3. District Directors shall ensure that Service policy concerning overtime assignments by GM-13 and GM14 Immigration Officers, payable under the Act of March 2, 1931, is strictly adhered to in all instances.
This policy is contained in the April 6, 1990 memorandum from the Executive Associate Commissioner for
Operations, and provides that these officers shall only work 1931 Act overtime assignments on a random
and infrequent basis.
The office of Inspections is working with the Resource Management Branch to develop automated reports on
inspectional overtime based on the personnel database. One of these reports will target GM-13 and higher
graded employees who submit payroll reports for inspectional overtime. Analysis of these reports will be used
to identify instances of non-compliance with Service policies in this regard.
It is anticipated that, once these new reports are tested and placed into routine production, the current CINSP33/G- 590B report will be discontinued. However, until this occurs, districts should continue to submit this
monthly report.

Part IV. National Audit Scheduling
A. Selection criteria. The Office of Inspections will direct and conduct audits at selected POEs in each
district. These audits will be scheduled on an annual basis. The selection of port(s)/districts to be reviewed 1
audited will be based upon the following factor(s):

1. Scheduled reviews - A schedule of audits will be developed by Headquarters, Inspections. At least one
POE in each district will receive an audit annually either by the District Overtime Control Officer or by a
National Audit Team. Each district will receive, at a minimum, an audit by a National Audit Team once every
three years. The pay periods to be audited will not necessarily be the pay periods of the scheduled audit
month. The schedule will remain flexible to allow for other selection methods noted below.
2. Audit requested by district - Districts may request a review to determine if its Inspections Program
Managers are in compliance with Headquarters policies and directives.

3. An audit may be conducted in a district where any number of employees are projected to reach or exceed
the statutory overtime cap.
4. An audit may be initiated based on review of reports:

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

or

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

(b)(2), (b)
(7)(E)

-Overtime report showing cumulative earnings and designating individuals projected to exceed the

~ecap.

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)
~vertime
report by pay period - shows the overtime amounts earned by individuals during a given
pay period.

(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

_ P a y r o l l Exception Report - shows the number of employees earning inspectional overtime who
are not inspections program personnel, possibly indicative of a need for improved scheduling practices.
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

- R e p o r t - This report may show an abnormally high number of rollback hours, high amount of
~ory '31 Act overtime hours, or a large amount of '31 Act with a low amount of '45 Act hours.
5. Non-statutory overtime - Total expenditures of 1931 Act overtime on weekdays are greater than 30% of
what is expended for the statutorily required Sundays and holidays.
6. An increase in overtime expenditures of 10% over comparable pay periods in previous years.
7. Complaints from carriers concerning amounts of overtime being billed; audits by other agencies, etc.
8. Regional/Headquarters review of workload and scheduling which indicates a possible imbalance.
9. Historical data - previous aUdit(s) detected a pattern of scheduling and overtime use that has not been in
compliance with Headquarters policy. Review may be necessary to evaluate effectiveness of changes
instituted.
10. The use of GS-13/14 managers to perform inspectional duties in excess of one Sunday or holiday per
month.
B. Methodology for selection of audit site and auditors.

The majority of audits will be desk audits conducted away from the POE. An on-site audit will be conducted as
circumstances dictate, such as lack of full compliance with recommendations made as a result of a previous
audit; substantial increase in overtime use without a similar increase in workload; or where desk audit findings
indicate unusual local circumstances which may only be validated/verified by an on-site visit.

Auditors for each specific audit detail will be selected from those experienced auditors residing in various
districts and from regional and Headquarters Inspections staff. Each audit detail will consist of at least one
regional or Headquarters staff officer and at least one District Overtime Control Officer (DOCO).
No DOCO will be selected for participation in a national audit of the district in which he or she is employed.
Part V. Documentation Needed for Full Audit
The documentation to be requested for a full audit will include, but not be limited to, the following:
1.

Forms G-202 - Inspection Overtime Order Report. In numerical order for all officers, regardless of actual
branch, for the specified period of the audit.

2.

Forms G-259 - Duty Assignment Schedules and keys explaining coded information.

3.

Forms 1-577 - Daily Air Passenger Inspections Log.

4.

Forms 1-429 - Schedule of Arriving or Departing Aircraft.

5.

Form 8-22 - Monthly Workload Summary - Inspections

6.

Current, or most recent, traffic survey by hour (land border).

7.

Incident reports (if any) reporting unusual situations, arrivals, problems, etc.

8.

Overtime schedule.

9.

Shipping arrival logs.

10.

Map of area jurisdiction showing inspection sites (especially for ports with extended seaport areas or
multiple airports covered from one location), to include average travel times to these sites.

11.

Locally negotiated overtime agreement.

12.

Copy of most recent AGO certification, locally utilized AUO tracking worksheets covering the audit
period, and copy of the latest percentage recalculation.

13.

Time and attendance sheets for all employees performing overtime during the audit period.

Locally produced and utilized forms may be submitted in lieu of the above specifically named forms, where
necessary.

The normal length of time covered in an audit is two pay periods, which mayor may not, be consecutive. If
possible, one pay period should include a holiday.
Part VI. Conduct of Audits

A. Land Borders.
1. Complete the Overtime Audit Work Sheet (Available Staff Regular Duty) with data from Form G-259. This
data is to be filled in the worksheet for each day of the pay periods audited by each hour of the day with the
number of on duty staff as noted below.
Check the block specifying the worksheet as containing the data from Form G-259.
Each column across the top of the worksheet, after the date and day of week column, relates to an hour of
the day using a 24 hour clock.
Each row down the worksheet relates to the specific day of the week and the specific date as assigned by
the auditor.
Complete the date column for the two pay periods included on the work sheet.
Fill in each cell with the number of inspectors scheduled to work during each hour period of the day of the
audit period. Do not include personnel such as the port director, senior inspector, training officer, and
intelligence officer not working primary or secondary inspection. Round periods of 30 minutes or more up
to one hour. Alternate work schedules (AWS) are handled the same way; use the hours worked each day.
Inspectors working a lieu holiday and receiving overtime pay should not be counted here but with
personnel on overtime.
2. Complete Overtime Audit Work Sheet (Workload) with data from the most recent traffic survey. Fill in the
dat for each day of the pay periods audited by each hour of the day. He data is the number of applicants by
hour. The number used is the average number. This is used to look for trends which might be better serviced
by changes in schedUling practices.
3. Compare the staffing to the number of applicants for admission by hour/day.
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

4. Review th~and _eports to see who earned 1931 Act and 1945 Act overtime in a given pay
period, or pay periods, to verify appropriateness of individuals working, Le., area port director, port director,
ADD for Examinations, ADD for Inspections, etc.
(b)(2), (b)(7)(E)

5. Look for repetitive overtime assignments. holdovers, and early call-ins indicative of a pattern which could

possibly be handled by scheduling an officer to include that period, or adjusting shifts.
6. Review Forms G-202 to determine if:
The hours and claimed amounts are correct.
Overtime is charged to the appropriate account (user fee vs. appropriated).
Overtime is properly recorded on the T&A .
The use of overtime was appropriate.
Any unusual overtime is explained in the remarks block.
7. Complete Overtime Audit Work Sheet (Staff Working on Overtime Basis), with data from Forms G-202.
Include staff working a lieu holiday and receiving overtime pay. Auditor should consider use of different color
pens to distinguish between 1931 Act and 1945 Act overtime. Round periods of less than one hour up to one
hour.
8. Compare the number of management and non-management personnel working overtime in relation to nonovertime days, i.e., two SII's/PD needed on Sunday when one is normally needed for non-overtime periods,
and no major increases in traffic or expected unusual incidents.
9. Review most recent AGO certification records for any inspections personnel receiving AGO.
10. Instructions for completing the Overtime Audit Work Sheets - Frequency Distribution Chart(s). The manual
Frequency Distribution Chart work sheet is a tool to allow quick manual plotting of the information gathered
and organized into the Overtime Audit Work Sheets. Factors such as the size and inherent complexity of the
individual audit site will determine the number of individual charts produced. The use of available computerbased work sheets is highly recommended over the procedure outlined below.
Complete the Location and Pay Period to be included on the work sheet.
Notate what activity (land, air, or sea or combination) is being included on the worksheet in the upper righthand corner near the location line.
Look at the information gathered into the Audit Work Sheet and decide upon a scale of the shaded left
hand column which will allow plotting the information form the work sheet. Take the greatest possible
number of inspectors on duty at any time and divide it by 28. Round up this number to the nearest whole
number and use the result as the scale for each line on the chart. For example, a work sheet shows that
the greatest number of inspectors on duty at any given time is 52. 52/28 = 1.85, which rounds up to 2. The

scale should reflect that each line represents 2 officers. The scale should be progressive, e.g., 2,4,6 ... ,
thereby allowing the plotting of the number of staff on duty at any given hour.
A similar computation of the greatest number of arrivals will yield the scale for the arrivals work sheet(s).
Always round upwards.
Decide what information is desired on the individual work sheet. Some locations may warrant and
individual chart for each day of the audit period while others will allow a consolidated chart with all days of
the week plotted in different colors and keyed in the bottom margin. If multiple days are plotted on each
work sheet, then it is recommended that individual charts be produced for each type of chart, i.e., staffing
and workload.
Analysis of the resulting charts will assist the auditors in determining the effectiveness of the scheduling
methods employed at the audited site and in formulating suggestions, if warranted.
B. Seaports and Airports. The audit process for seaports and airports is virtually identical; the only
difference may be in the size of the workload or number of facilities to be covered by the staff of one location.
1. Complete Overtime Audit Work Sheet (Available Staff Regular Duty), with data from Form G- 259. This
data is to be filled in for each day of the pay periods audited by each hour of the day with the number of on
duty staff as noted below.
Check the block specifying the work sheet as containing data from the Form G-259.
Each column across the top of the work sheet, after the date and day of week column, relates to an hour of
the day using a 24-hour clock.
Each row down the work sheet relates to the specific day of the week and the specific date as assigned by
the auditor.
Complete the date column for the two pay periods included on the work sheet.
Fill in each cell with the number of inspectors scheduled to work during each hour period of the day for
each day of the audit period. Do not include personnel such as the port director, senior inspector, training
officer, and intelligence officer not working primary or secondary inspection. Round periods of 30 minutes
or more up to one hour. Inspectors working a lieu holiday and receiving overtime pay should not be
counted here, but with personnel on overtime.
2. Complete the Overtime Audit Work Sheet (Workload).
Use data from the current form 1-429. Fill in the data for each day of the pay periods audited by each hour

of the day. The data is the projected number of passengers/crew expected during a given hour. As an
example, place the figures for arrivals scheduled at 8: 12 a.m. and 8:50 a.m. in the 0800-0900 cell. The
number used is the average number, not the maximum capacity of the aircraft. This is used to look for
trends which might be better serviced by changes in scheduling practices.
If the Form 1-429 is not available, use the actual data as provided on the Form 1-577, following the
procedure to complete the work sheet outlined above. For private aircraft, use the arrival time given.
3. Review Forms G-202:
a. Check for the following:
Completion of all blocks of information.
The hours worked and compensation claimed are correctly computed.
Reporting times, for computational purposes, are the same as the estimated time of arrival, unless the
vessel or aircraft arrived early.
Charged to the appropriate account (user fee vs. appropriated) (carrier liability vs. government liability).
Would a split shift have been more appropriate (Sundays)?
Unusual circumstances, i.e. seemingly excessive inspectional time, delays, etc.
Do the Forms G-202 reflect that certain officers always complete their assignment(s) right at, or shortly
after, an additional overtime period has been reached, e.g. 8:00 p.m. or 8:05 p.m., 10:00 p.m. or 10:05
p.m. (Compare closing time on G-202 with closing time on 1-577 or 1- 418.)
Completion of supervisory certifications.
Who the reviewing officials were and when they verified and signed the Form G-202. Some officers are
assigning their own overtime, completing their own Forms G-202, approving their own overtime, and
completing their own T&As, without timely, adequate supervisory review.

b. Note the items below concerning the number of officers held over or called out:
What is the amount of time they are held over? Does it extend beyond the end of the subsequent shift of
officers? Is the subsequent shift released prior to the officers that are being held over or called out?
Are officers being held over or called out every day? Could this be eliminated by an adjustment jn the
number of officers assigned to shifts?
Does the workload justify the hold overs or call outs? Check the flight log for the number of secondary
referrals from each flight and the disposition of those referrals.
c. For en route inspections, determine if the time shown for the inspection is appropriate for the number of
passengers and crew shown as inspected.
d. Check to ensure that GS-13 and GS-14 district officials were not working overtime on a regular basis. The
only GS-13 and GS-14 managers that should be working overtime, on random shifts on an irregular basis, are
the port directors and assistant port directors.
4. Review most recent AUO certification records of any inspections personnel receiving AGO.
5. Complete Overtime Audit Work Sheet (Staff Working on Overtime Basis), with data drawn from the Forms
G-202 completed relative to the audit period. This is the actual number of officers working on an overtime
basis during any given hour. Round periods of less than one hour up to one hour. Include officers working a
lieu holiday and receiving overtime pay.
6. How does the staffing compare with the number of applicants for admission by hour/day? Compare the
number of management and non-management personnel working overtime in relation to non-overtime days,
i.e., four SII's/PD needed on Sunday when two are normally needed for non-overtime periods, and no major
increase in traffic or expected unusual incidents.
7 Analyze the work sheet to see if there is an established pattern of arrivals during an overtime period that
could be more economically covered by a regularly scheduled shift. For example, three or more days a week

overtime is incurred in the same time block, just prior to, or immediately following a scheduled shift.
8. Does the staffing indicate effective scheduling to cover the peak arrival periods with peak resources? Or is
the facility over staffed/understaffed? Could the shifts be realigned to provide better coverage for all flights
during the hours of operation?
9. Review the completed work sheets and look for trends which might allow the district to provide service at a
lesser cost. Determine if overtime expenditures and/or backlogs can be reduced by schedule adjustments.
Examples of these comparisons might include comparing an hourly ratio of passengers to the staff.
10. Review the number of officers working on Sundays and holidays as opposed to regular work days. If more
are assigned on Sundays and holiday than on normal work days, compare the workloads. If the workload on
Sundays and holidays are very similar to other days of the week, there could be a lack of compliance with
Headquarters policy on overtime control and staffing ratios.
11. Review the processing time for regularly arriving vessels on regular work days as compared to overtime
periods. Does it take longer on overtime periods? The vessel arrival log should have all arrival and processing
information for all vessels.
12. Were overtime assignments made in compliance with the local union/district overtime policy as well as the
national agreement?
13. Instructions for completing the Overtime Audit Work Sheets - Frequency Distribution Chart(s). The manual
Frequency Distribution Chart work sheet is a tool to allow quick manual plotting of the information gathered
and organized into the Overtime Audit Work Sheets. Factors such as the size and inherent complexity of the
individual audit site will determine the number of individual charts produced. The use of available computerbased work sheets is highly recommended over the procedure outlined below.
Complete the Location and Pay Period to be included on the work sheet.
Notate what activity (air, or sea or combination) is being included on the worksheet in the upper right-hand
corner near the location line.
Look at the information gathered into the Audit Work Sheet and decide upon a scale of the shaded left

thereby allOWing the plotting of the number of staff on duty at any given hour.

A similar computation of the greatest number of arrivals will yield the scale for the arrivals work sheet(s).
Always round upwards.
Decide what information is desired on the individual work sheet. Some locations may warrant and
individual chart for each day of the audit period while others will allow a consolidated chart with all days of
the week plotted in different colors and keyed in the bottom margin. If multiple days are plotted on each

Part VII. Completion of Audit Report

Upon completion of the review of all documentation, overtime control officers will prepare a report for the
district director from the notes made during the audit. It will include recommendations to correct any
deficiencies noted. A copy of the report, after review by the district director and with any attachments, will be
forwarded within 10 working days to the National Overtime Control Officer at Headquarters, Office of
Inspections. These reports will provide background information and will provide documentation that the audit
process is in place and functioning.
National Audit Team reports, drafted for the Assistant Commissioner, Inspections, will be forwarded in draft
format to the district director within two weeks of completion of the audit. These draft reports will contain the
same information and recommendations that would have been given to the district director at the closeout
meeting of an on-site audit. District directors will then be afforded two weeks to provide written comments to
the draft report prior to the report, in draft and final form, along with the district response and any attachments
being sent forward to the National Overtime Control Officer for final signature and forwarding to the Assistant
Commissioner, Inspections.

Subject: Review of Overtime - Ports of X, Y, and Z
To: District Director, ABC District

From: Joe Snoops, Audit Team Leader
Procedures set forth in the Service's Inspections Overtime Audit Manual were followed in completing an audit for the above-named ports-of entry within
your district. The audit team appreciates the help provided and quick responses to its inquiries.
The audit team reviewed the following documentation:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Forms G-202
Forms G-259
Forms 1-429
Overtime schedule
etc....

Port of X
It was noted that all employees were scheduled to be off on the holiday which fell during the audit period. The Administrative Manual 04.205(VI)(C)(1)
requires that the basic work week include Monday through Saturday, including holidays occurring on those days. Article 29 of the Union Agreement,
paragraph 4 states: "The occurrence of holidays shall not affect the designation of the basic work week."
Forms G-202 are not signed in block 24, the approval block. If block 6 is completed, it is usually signed by the officer working the assignment.
According to Forms G-259, all three inspections officers were scheduled to work Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The call times for
inspections assignments were tracked from August through December. If one officer was assigned to an 8:00 Am to 4:30 PM shift and a second officer
assigned to a 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM shift, the overtime assignments could have been reduced by 28 in August, 22 in September, 18 in October, 13 in
November and 16 in December. A review should be conducted of all inspectional assignments and the shifts assigned to provide the optimum coverage
with the least overtime expenditures.
Forms G-202 show the numbers of passengers and crew inspected for each arrival. After reviewing, it appears that the vessel and aircraft inspections are
properly staffed.
The following items are questions raised during the review of the overtime bills:
XXX-93-123 Sunday. The officers worked 0630 to 1430 and 1700 to 1940 for two and one half days of 1931 Act overtime. The callouts for the
assignments were 0630, 0700, 1400, 1415, and 1900. The shift should have been split to cover all of the assignments with a total of 8 hours on duty.
XXX-93-124. The ETA was 0430. arrival was at 0450, inspection began at 0500 and completed at 0600, one hour later. Only 12 people were
inspected. No reason was shown for the extraordinary amount of time taken to complete the inspection.

No Forms G-202 were submitted for the period September 1 - 6,1992, and only 2 Forms G-202 were submitted for October 7. There should have been
more than 2 forms submitted for October 7.
The vessel arrival log reflects arrival during an overtime period for which there are no bills. For example, October 7 - the MN Davy Jones and the MN
Albatross. The bill for the MN Star Trek indicates that the officer inspected it without assistance. but the log indicates that the MN Star Trek had two
inspectors. The bills should reflect the names of all vessels inspected by that officer.
1931 and 1945 Act overtime may be shown on the same bill. It is not required that a separate bill be completed as there were on November 10.

ZZZ·93-123. The officer billed for two days (Sunday) "called by agent to complete 18 0·2 1·95 for crewmen signing off and return home. aircraft departing
at 0710 hours. Relieving crew arrived at 2345 on preceding night and were kept in a moteL" It would appear that the vessel had already been inspected.
1931 Act overtime may not be charged to sign off crewmen, except upon arrival of the vessel from foreign. The time charged, 0430·0600, is to be charged
at two hours of 1945 Act overtime. The T&A should be amended.

Summar)'

Recommended Actions:
1. The overtime program needs to be more closely monitored at all of the cited locations to eliminate the problems revealed
by this review.
2. The Port of Y must submit copies of Forms G-202 to the Inspections Office as previously requested.
3. The scheduling of shifts and assignments must be made to maximize coverage more economically. (Audit officer should
provide examples, such as split shifts, different shifts, and examples of savings if done so.)
4. Explanations for any delay in completion of the inspection must be contained in the remarks block on Form G-202.
Your response should be addressed to the Regional Chief Inspector, ZZZ Region. no later than 15 days from the date of this
memorandum.

(signature of audit officer)
