NFCPaymentTagReaderSession EU Restriction

Hello, Public documentation for NFCPaymentTagReaderSession states that it is currently limited to European Union (EU). Could you please advise when will this restriction be lifted and NFCPaymentTagReaderSession be made available outside of the EU? Are there any other capabilites available to be able to read EMV card data via NFC on a financial services or card issuer's iOS mobile app? Thank you!

Also, does NFCPaymentTagReaderSession permit a non-payment authentication read of a payment AID, in the US or elsewhere, and what entitlement does it require?
