Here's a link to one of the most stupid ideas coming out of the
Department Of Homeland Security:

http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/196127-1.html

Are you able to cite specific changes this proposal would require that
are not already required?

To paraphrase what you wrote in response to someone else on another thread:

Perhaps you might consider actually reading the news article and follow the
link it provides to the proposed rule change instead of admitting your
laziness and ignorance publicly in a worldwide forum.

Anyway, since you insist on asking a question that you could have answered
yourself had you bothered to read the article, I'll try to summarize for
you by quoting some of what the DHS says will now be required that was not
required before. Quoted material before the ellipsis summarizes existing
requirements, material after ellipsis summarizes new requirements:

"The advance notice of arrival requires information about the number of
alien passengers and number of U.S. citizen passengers, but it does not
require any identifying information for individual passengers onboard to be
submitted. The current regulations do not provide a specific timeframe when
the notice of arrival shall be given, but direct that the pilot shall
furnish such information far enough in advance to allow inspecting officers
to reach the place of first landing of the aircraft.
....
Under this rule, CBP is proposing regulatory changes that include requiring
the advance electronic information of notice of arrival combined with
passenger manifest data for those aboard private aircraft that arrive in
and depart from the United States. Additionally, this rule proposes
amendments regarding notice of arrival requirements, landing rights, and
departure requirements."
