 Compliance Deadline is Near for Private Aircraft Border Crossing Flights  
 Notice Number: NOTC1646  
    
 The Deadline is Approaching for Compliance With the New Department of  
 Homeland Security Rule Affecting Private Aircraft on International Flights   
    
 On December 18, 2008, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Bureau  
 of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a new rule that affects  
 private aircraft operating on international flights.  The rule, Title 19 CFR  
 Part 122, is titled 'Advanced Information on Private Aircraft Arriving and  
 Departing the United States'.  Compliance with this new regulation has been  
 voluntary since December 18, 2008, however, compliance becomes mandatory  
 effective May 18, 2009.  The DHS Final Rule can be viewed at:  
 http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2008/pdf/E8-26621.pdf   
    
 Beginning May 18, 2009, all general aviation flights arriving into or  
 departing out of the U.S. require the pilot to electronically submit crew  
 and passenger manifests and other flight information to the CBP at least 60  
 minutes prior to departure.  This information must be submitted to the CBP  
 using their Electronic Advance Passenger Information System (eAPIS) website  
 or through an authorized third party vendor.  This new rule does not apply  
 to domestic flights.  
    
 Pilots failing to meet these reporting requirements can be fined $5,000 for  
 the first violation and $10,000 for each subsequent violation.  
    
 Pilots are encouraged to become familiar with the CBP crew and passenger  
 manifest reporting requirements prior to planning any flights across the  
 U.S. borders.  More information can be found at the U.S Customs and Border  
 Protection website:  
 http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/pleasure_boats/private_flyers/     
    
 Pilots are also advised to register their information with the  CBP eAPIS  
 website and begin using the system now for international flights even prior  
 to the May 18, 2009 deadline.  Information on how to register with eAPIS can  
 be found at:
