Official abstract

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is correcting an interim rule that was published in the Federal Register on August 31, 2004 at 69 FR 53318. The interim rule becomes effective on September 30, 2004. The interim rule extends the United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program (US-VISIT) to the 50 most highly trafficked land border ports of entry in the United States and includes nonimmigrant aliens traveling without visas under the Visa Waiver Program. This interim rule also exempts certain officials of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO) and their dependants from the collection of biometric information under US-VISIT.
