SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The interim regulation that is the subject of these corrections 
amends the regulations of the Immigration and Naturalization Service 
(INS) and Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) to implement 
the provisions of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant 
Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) governing expedited and regular 
removal proceedings, handling of asylum claims, and other activities 
involving the apprehension, determination, hearing of claims and 
ultimately the removal of inadmissible and deportable aliens. This rule 
also incorporates a number of changes which are part of the 
Administration's reinvention and regulation streamlining effort.
