D. Expand Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) Customs and INS will seek to extend the use of the APIS to all U.S. and foreign airlines. Through this system, Customs and INS do a computerized name check which allows them to determine which passengers to inspect particularly closely upon arrival in U. S. airports, while facilitating the inspection process for cleared passengers. The program currently covers only 33% of arriving passengers. III. INCREASING CRIMINAL PENALTIES AND INVESTIGATORY AUTHORITIES A. Proposing Legislation Against Criminal Alien Smuggling See separate FACT SHEET. The Administration is proposing legislation through which criminal penalties for alien smuggling will increase from five to ten years with greater terms for jeopardizing life. The RICO statute will be amended to include alien smuggling as a primary offense. INS's ability to exercise forfeiture authority will be significantly expanded and wire tapping will be added as an INS enforcement tool. B. Offering Rewards for Information Leading to the Arrest and Conviction of Terrorists The Administration proposes to amend the law that authorizes the purposes for which the Assets Forfeiture Fund's annual appropriation may be used to include the payment of awards for information related to acts of terrorism primary within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States. The Attorney General has the authority to pay awards for information regarding acts of international terrorism. This authority has been delegated to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This will provide a permanent source of funding up to $5 million for these rewards. IV. FUNDING REQUIREMENTS The President's immigration initiatives require a change in the FY 1994 budget. The total program represents a $172.5 million increase from the President's April budget request to Congress. Of this total amount, $87.0 million would be financed through the following user fees and other sources: INS User Fee Account: Language authorizing a $1 increase in INS inspection fees from $5 to $6 is included in the Administration's legislation entitled the "Expedited Exclusion and Alien Smuggling Penalties Enhancement Act of 1993." This bill also removes the exemption of fees on cruise ship passengers. $25.5 million of the total additional fees raised will be used to finance programs announced today. INS Exams Fee Account: INS will propose regulations to increase INS application fees for various immigration benefits, such as naturalization and adjustment of immigration status. $9.5 million of the total additional fees raised will be used to finance programs announced today.
