This notice announces that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will conduct a Voluntary Self-Reported Exit (VSRE) Pilot to collect facial images from certain aliens, specifically aliens subject to Form I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record) requirements, exiting the United States from any location. CBP will conduct the VSRE Pilot to determine the effectiveness of this technology as part of CBP’s initiatives to create a comprehensive biometrics entry-exit system, as well as to further automate the I-94 process for these aliens. This notice describes the purpose of the pilot, pilot procedures, how CBP will use the collected data, eligible participants, duration of the pilot, how CBP will analyze the results, and privacy considerations.
