CBP is publishing this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) update to give notice of changes to the Beyond the Border Entry/Exit Program, an initiative of the U.S.-Canada Beyond the Border Action Plan. The Beyond the Border Entry/Exit Program expands the sharing of border crossing information with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) by exchanging biographic, travel document, and other border crossing information collected from individuals entering the United States from Canada and vice versa at land ports of entry. This PIA update covers the third and final phase of the Entry/Exit Program, which is expanding to include the sharing of data on Canadian and U.S. citizens to allow both governments to use the other’s entry data so that the record of a traveler’s entry into one country can establish a record of exit from the other country.
