U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced March 1 that it has taken over responsibility for conducting background vetting of bonded facility employees from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations directorate. CBP will utilize the Trusted Worker Module in the Global Enrollment System to facilitate this vetting, which will provide for a more streamlined process and allow CBP to make a more informed decision in approving applications.
CBP officers will require background information to be submitted from facility officers, principals and those individuals with access to facility recordkeeping (i.e., book keepers). This information will be submitted on a one-time only basis and fingerprints will be submitted on an as-needed basis. CBP officers may request that applicants submit background information on CBP Form 3078 (Application for Identification Card) to allow for the gathering of the most up-to-date information.
