New travel rules set for no-visa travelers

LONDON - U.S. officials say people from countries that do not need visas to enter the United States must begin registering under a new travel authorization program before making their journey.

Travelers from the 35 countries are asked to obtain an authorization from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security at least 72 hours before their flight departs to the U.S.

The program has been voluntary since August but is now mandatory.
