The FY2027 President's Budget requests $127.5M for Land Border Inspection Fee, within Homeland Security's Land Border Inspection Fee account. That is up 6.6% on the FY2026 figure of $119.6M, which is a continuing-resolution annualized figure, not an enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | enacted | $86.0M |
| FY2026 | CR annualized | $119.6M |
| FY2027 | request | $127.5M |
The prior-year column is a CR annualized figure — the rate a continuing resolution funds at, not an enacted appropriation. The two are different numbers and are not interchangeable. Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Homeland Security discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Homeland Security's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
The Land Border Inspection Fee (LBIF) is collected to recover the cost of implementing Trusted Traveler Programs (TTP) at land ports of entry (POE). These programs provide participants with expedited processing, after undergoing advanced screening. Fee Authority: The Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 1991 (Pub. Law 101-515), as codified in 8 U.S.C. 1356(q), authorizes the establishment, by regulation, of not more than 96 projects under which a fee may be charged and collected for inspection services provided at one or more land ports of entry. Fees collected through these pilot programs are deposited into the LBIF account. LBIF is intended to recover the full costs incurred by operating the TTP at land border POE. Fee Uses: Collections from the LBIF fund the salaries and benefits of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officers supporting the TTPs, as well as operational and maintenance costs for the TTPs, including NEXUS Highway and Air, Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection (SENTRI), and Free and Secure Trade Program (FAST). These programs help to improve the targeting, screening, and apprehension of high-risk international travelers, thereby preventing potential terrorist attacks and criminal activities while expediting the processing of legitimate travelers. NEXUS is a joint program with the Canadian Border Services Agency that allows pre-screened travelers expedited processing when entering the United States and Canada for land, air, and marine crossings. FAST is a Border Accord Initiative between the United States, Mexico, and Canada for commercial vehicles designed to ensure security and safety while enhancing the economic prosperity of each country. Canada receives quarterly payments for its portion of the NEXUS and FAST. The collections and disbursements to Canada are reported within the LBIF account.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
