DHS/CBP/PIA-067 U.S. Customs and Border Protection Unified Secondary

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Office of Field Operations (OFO) is responsible for processing individuals entering the United States at Ports of Entry. To facilitate individual processing, CBP is expanding the use of the Unified Secondary System (USEC) to receive specified biographic and biometric information in advance from certain undocumented individuals who may seek to apply for admission at a U.S. port of entry. On behalf of these undocumented individuals, International Organizations (IO) or Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) submit specified biographic and biometric information to CBP via the CBP One™ Mobile Application. Upon arrival at the port of entry and referral to secondary, CBP officers access this previously submitted information within USEC to pre-populate standard intake processing fields within the system. CBP is conducting this PIA update to analyze the privacy risks of expanding Unified Secondary to collect and store advance arrival information from certain undocumented individuals. May 2020
