DHS/CBP/PIA-073 Advance Travel Authorization (ATA)

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has developed the Advance Travel Authorization (ATA) process to collect information from eligible noncitizens requesting advance authorization to travel to the United States to seek a discretionary grant of parole. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has updated this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to provide notice and assess the privacy risks associated with ATA. ATA launched October 12, 2022, to implement a parole process for certain undocumented noncitizens from select countries and their qualifying immediate family members, under which those individuals may request advance authorization to travel to the United States to seek a discretionary grant of parole. This PIA discusses the general workflow of ATA and the information collected, stored, and used at each step. CBP’s ATA collection is conducted through the CBP One™ mobile application, and CBP has published a concurrent CBP One™ PIA. As of November 2023, two appendices have been modified to discuss eligible countries and the Family Reunification Parole Process. November 2023
