SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Global Entry Program

Global Entry is a voluntary program that allows for dedicated CBP processing of pre-approved travelers arriving in the United States at Global Entry kiosks located at designated airports. In a final rule published in the Federal Register (77 FR 5681) on February 6, 2012, CBP promulgated the regulation (8 CFR 235.12) to establish Global Entry as an ongoing voluntary regulatory program. Section 235.12 contains a description of the program, the eligibility criteria, the application and enrollment process, and redress procedures. Travelers who wish to participate in Global Entry must apply via the Global On-Line Enrollment System (GOES) Web site, https://goes-app.cbp.dhs.gov,, and pay the applicable fee. Applications for Global Entry must be completed and submitted electronically.

In the above-referenced final rule that established the Global Entry program, Global Entry was initially limited to twenty airports. The rule provides that any expansion of the Global Entry program to new airports will be by publication in the Federal Register and by posting the information at http://www.globalentry.gov. See 8 CFR 235.12(c).

In a notice published in the Federal Register (77 FR 17492) on March 26, 2012, Global Entry was expanded to include four additional designated airports. In a notice published in the Federal Register (78 FR 38069) on June 25, 2013, Global Entry was expanded to include eight additional designated airports. Finally, in a notice published in the Federal Register (80 FR 1510) on January 12, 2015, Global Entry was expanded to include an additional seven airports.
