CBP’s Global Entry Program• Created and administered by CBP, Global Entry facilitates low-risk, pre-approved frequent international travelers with an expedited inspection and examination process utilizing kiosks

• Seamless experience for NJ’s frequent international business travelers

• 1 million commercial aviation passengers enrolled

• Established as a pilot program for three airports on 6/6/08, now operating at the nation’s 20 busiest international airports, including EWR and JFK

Benefits of Global Entry @ TEB

1) BUSINESS FRIENDLY: Demonstrates that New Jersey is open for business with a seamless travel experience

2) COST EFFECTIVE: Privately funded, zero cost to taxpayers, and generates revenue for CBP and PANY/NJ

3) SECURE: Security that meets CBP requirements and specifications

4) GREEN: Better carbon footprint for TEB through less engine starts/stops, and less taxiing

5) NOISE MITIGATION: Less off airport noise with aircraft clearing CBP at their destination FBO

6) DELAY REDUCTION: Clearing aircraft at destination FBOs will allow greater efficiency through less runway crossing or taxiing, which will also reduce congestion

How to Expand Global Entry• Established By: Section 7208(k) of the Intelligence Reform and

Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (S.2845 passed U.S. House 336-75; passed U.S. Senate 89-2)

• Requires: DHS to initiate rulemaking action to establish criteria to participate in the program, and to set the appropriate fee to provide for expedited travel for pre-screened populations

• Make Permanent/Expand: Based on the success of the pilot program, CBP is seeking to make it permanent and expand it to other airports

• Timeframe: Homeland Security needs to issue a final rule notification, which OMB would review and then publish a federal register notice (FRN). This is likely to occur by the first quarter of 2012.  After OMB review, expansion would likely occur in the early Spring 2012.

• Expand to TEB: Amending 8 CFR parts 103 and 235 could allow implementation of a Global Entry Pilot Program at TEB

Global Entry Program @ TEB Proposal1. Pilot Program: Establish a general aviation pilot program for Global Entry’s

Trusted Traveler Network at Teterboro Airport

2. Enrollment Fees: $500 per GA passenger enrollment fee for the program shall also generate revenue for CBP

3. Kiosk Purchase/Lease: Global Entry kiosks can be purchased by PANY/NJ, then leased to interested FBOs, thereby providing revenue for TEB projects like Hangar 1 and control tower

4. Establish Metrics: The pilot program shall measure how the location of CBP facilities impacts upon security, noise, pollution, customer service and overall airport operations

5. Issue RFP: Based upon the metrics of the pilot, CBP shall issue an RFP to determine the best long term locations for CBP

6. Still 2 CBP Facilities: Under the pilot, FBOs with kiosks shall be considered temporary CBP facilities, thereby allowing TEB to host multiple kiosks, but remain with two total CBP facilities

7. Not Enrolled: International passengers not enrolled shall continue to clear CBP at previously existing CBP locations

8. Mixed Enrollment: If aircraft contains a mix of enrolled and not enrolled passengers, CBP shall determine FBO best suited for aircraft and passenger clearance

Reasons for Global Entry @ TEB1. Public-private-partnership with CBP: All interested

FBOs can participate without burdening taxpayers2. Generate revenue for CBP: Passenger enrollment fees

can offset budget constraints and enable more officers3. Generate revenue for PANY/NJ: PANY/NJ can purchase

kiosks from CBP, then lease to FBOs to generate revenue for TEB renovations and improvements

4. Establish national policy for general aviation: Enhance security, expedite passenger and aircraft clearance

5. Establish metrics: Gauge impact of CBP location for operations, security, customer service, pollution & noise

6. Issue an RFP: For the best long-term CBP locations

Global Entry Program @ TEB Back of the Envelope Estimation:

• 5,600: Average # of internationals at TEB, 2008-10• $500 per passenger: To enroll in the private aviation Global

Entry pilot project at TEB• $2.8 million for CBP: Enrolling just 1 passenger per flight

would result in $2.8 m in revenue for CBP (typically 4-8 passengers per flight, wide-spread enrollment at TEB could yield $22.4m)

• 56 new CBP officers: Using average FY11 salaries ($50K), CBP could hire 56 new officers for $5.6m (or 448 for $22.4m)

• Additional Revenue: These calculations do not include the FBO purchase/lease of Global Entry kiosks, which would result in additional revenue for PANY/NJ
