8 CFR Part 214
[INS No. 1727-95]
RIN 1115-AE22
Adding Daytona, Florida and Memphis, Tennessee to the List of
Ports of Entry Accepting Applications for Direct Transit Without Visa
AGENCY: Immigration and Naturalization Service, Justice.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service
(the Service) regulations by adding Daytona, Florida, and Memphis,
Tennessee, to the list of ports of entry where, except for transit from
one part of foreign contiguous territory to another part of the same
territory, an alien must make application for admission to the United
States for direct transit without visa. This change is necessary to
accommodate the increase in international commerce serving Daytona,
Florida, and Memphis, Tennessee.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 22, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Robert F. Hutnick, Assistant Chief Inspector, Immigration and
Naturalization Service, 425 I Street, NW., Room 7228, Washington, DC
20536, telephone number (202) 616-7499.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final rule adds Daytona, Florida, and
Memphis, Tennessee, to 8 CFR 214.2(c)(1) as ports of entry where,
except for transit from one part of foreign contiguous territory to
another part of the same territory, application for direct transit
without visa must be made. The Daytona Beach International Airport in
Daytona, Florida, will be adding additional international passenger
service, specifically arrivals transiting between Frankfurt, Germany,
and San Andres, Colombia. The Memphis International Airport in Memphis,
Tennessee, has added international passenger service which will be
arriving from Amsterdam, The Netherlands, transiting to Canada, Mexico,
and the Caribbean. By allowing these airports to accept applications
for direct transit without visa, both Daytona and Memphis will be able
to accommodate these transit air passengers.
The Service's implementation of this rule as a final rule is based
on the ``good cause'' exception found at 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). The
reasons and necessity for immediate implementation are as follows: This
rule is necessary to accommodate the increase in international carriers
serving Daytona, Florida, and Memphis, Tennessee, and to facilitate
travel for the public.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, in
accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), has
reviewed this regulation and, by approving it, certifies that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. This rule merely allows the Daytona, Florida, and the
Memphis, Tennessee, airports to accommodate international passengers by
providing authority to accept applications for direct transit without
visa. This rule with facilitate travel for the public.
Executive Order 12866
This rule is not considered by the Department of Justice,
Immigration and Naturalization Service, to be a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866, section 3(f),
Regulatory Planning and Review, and the Office of Management and Budget
has waived its review process under section 6(a)(3)(A).
Executive Order 12612
The regulation proposed herein will not have substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship between the National
Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, in
accordance with Executive Order 12612, it is determined that this rule
does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
