Establishment of Form I-551, Alien Registration Receipt Card, as 
the Exclusive Form of Registration for Lawful Permanent Residence; 
Delay of Effective Date

AGENCY: Immigration and Naturalization Service, Justice.

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective dates.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) is 
delaying the effective date of a final rule previously published in the 
Federal Register on September 20, 1993, at 58 FR 48775-48780, which 
provided that the validity of Form I-151, Alien Registration Receipt 
Card, would terminate on September 20, 1994.

EFFECTIVE DATES: Effective September 14, 1994, the effective date for 
the regulation published on September 20, 1993, at 58 FR 48775-48780, 
amending 8 CFR Parts 204, 211, 223, 235, 251, 252, 274a, 299, 316, and 
334 is delayed until March 20, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 20, 1993, the Service published 
in the Federal Register at 58 FR 48775-48780 a final rule which 
provided, among other things, that the validity of the Form I-151, 
Alien Registration Receipt Card, would expire on September 20, 1994. 
The final rule amending 8 CFR Parts 204, 211, 223, 235, 251, 252, 274a, 
299, 316, and 334 was to take effect on September 20, 1994. The delay 
in the effective date until March 20, 1995, is necessary to allow 
additional time for the processing of applications filed to replace the 
old Form I-151 cards with the current Form I-551, Alien Registration 
Receipt Card, and to allow additional time to publish revised 
instructions for the use of employers.
    Resident aliens in possession of a Form I-151, Alien Registration 
Receipt Card, issued before 1979, who have not already applied to 
replace it with a valid, current Form I-551, Alien Registration Receipt 
Card, are urged to do so without delay. This may be done by filing Form 
I-90, Application to Replace Alien Registration Card. For the 
convenience of the public, these application forms may be ordered by 
telephone, toll-free, by calling: 1-800-755-0777.

    Dated: September 8, 1994.
Doris Meissner,
Commissioner, Immigration and Naturalization Service.
