Велели паспорт показать!
SUMMARY: This rule finalizes the first phase of a joint Department of
Homeland Security and Department of State plan, known as the Western
Hemisphere Travel Initiative, to implement new documentation
requirements for certain United States citizens and nonimmigrant aliens
entering the United States. As a result of this final rule, with
limited exceptions discussed below, beginning January 23, 2007, all
United States citizens and nonimmigrant aliens from Canada, Bermuda,
and Mexico departing from or entering the United States from within the
Western Hemisphere at air ports-of-entry will be required to present a
valid passport. This final rule differs from the Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) published in the Federal Register on August 11, 2006,
by finalizing new documentation requirements for only travelers
arriving in the United States by air. The portion of the NPRM that
proposed changes in documentation requirements for travelers arriving
by sea will not be finalized under this rule. Requirements for United
States citizens and nonimmigrant aliens from Canada, Bermuda, and
Mexico departing from or entering the United States at land and sea
ports-of-entry will be addressed in a separate, future rulemaking.
DATES: This final rule is effective on January 23, 2007.
