          Subject: Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Customs and Border
                  Protection: Electronic Transmission of Passenger and Crew Manifests for
                  Vessels and Aircraft

          Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of
          Customs and Border Protection (CBP), entitled Electronic Transmission of
          Passenger and Crew Manifests for Vessels and Aircraft (RIN: 1651-AA37). We
          received the rule on March 29, 2005. It was published in the Federal Register as a
          final rule on April 7, 2005. 70 Fed. Reg. 17820.

          The final rule requires the electronic transmission of manifest information (1) for
          passengers and crew members onboard commercial vessels and aircraft, in advance
          of arrival in and departure from the United States, and (2) for crew members and
          non-crew members onboard commercial aircraft that continue within (foreign air
          carriers only) and overfly the United States, in advance of the departure of those
          flights.

          Enclosed is our assessment of the CBP's compliance with the procedural steps
          required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
          Our review indicates that CBP complied with the applicable requirements.
