The arriving vessel or conveyance's responsible party pays immigration overtime compensation to the Attorney General, who distributes it to eligible employees. The payment is due when employees report, even if no inspection occurs, subject to listed transportation exceptions.
The master, owner, agent, or consignee of a vessel or other conveyance arriving from a foreign port must pay the extra compensation to the Attorney General*. The Attorney General pays eligible immigration officers and employees under this section and section 1353a. Payment is due when employees were ordered to report and did report, whether passengers or crew were actually inspected. This does not apply to designated-port inspections of passengers arriving by scheduled international ferries, bridges, tunnels, aircraft, railroad trains, or vessels on the Great Lakes and connecting waterways.
The said extra compensation shall be paid by the master, owner, agent, or consignee of such vessel or other conveyance arriving in the United States from a foreign port to the Attorney General*, who shall pay the same to the several immigration officers and employees entitled thereto as provided in this section and section 1353a of this title. Such extra compensation shall be paid if such officers or employees have been ordered to report for duty and have so reported, whether the actual inspection or examination of passengers or crew takes place or not: Provided, That this section shall not apply to the inspection at designated ports of entry of passengers arriving by international ferries, bridges, or tunnels, or by aircraft, railroad trains, or vessels on the Great Lakes and connecting waterways, when operating on regular schedules.
