Summary

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is proposing to require rail carriers to transmit advance electronic traveler information to CBP for any individual (crew and passengers) who is arriving in or departing from the United States on board a train. The rail carrier also would be required to transmit an advance notice of arrival or departure, as applicable, for the train. This rule would enhance security while facilitating legitimate international travel on board trains.
