SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulation,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final regulation that is the subject of these corrections 
streamlines the motions and appeals practice before the Board of 
Immigration Appeals and establishes a centralized procedure for filing 
notices of appeal, fees, fee waiver requests, and briefs directly with 
the Board. The new regulation also establishes time and number 
limitations on motions to reconsider and on motions to reopen and makes 
certain changes to appellate procedures to reflect the statutory 
directives of section 545 of the Immigration Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-
649, 104 Stat. at 4978).

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulation contains errors which may prove 
to be misleading and are in need of clarification.
