DEPARTMENT OF STATE

22 CFR Part 41

[Public Notice 3811]


Visas--Visa Classification Symbols: Corrections

AGENCY: Bureau of Consular Affairs, Department of State.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of State (the Department) is publishing this 
document to correct an error in a final rule published in the Federal 
Register [66 FR 32740] on June 18, 2001. The Department is also taking 
this opportunity to include the dependents of the SN categories to the 
N8 and N9 categories in accordance with the provisions of Pub. L. 105-
277.

DATES: This rule takes effect on October 24, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pam Chavez, Legislation and 
Regulations Division, Visa Office, (202) 663-1206.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 18, 2001, the Department amended 
section 41.12 of part 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations by adding 
the new nonimmigrant ``T'' classifications and the new nonimmigrant U 
classifications. The new T1 classification symbol would be used to 
classify victims of a severe form of trafficking in persons and the T2 
classification for the spouse, child and parent of the T1. The rule 
also created two new U visa classification symbols; the U1 
classification symbol for victims of criminal activity and the U2 for 
the spouse, child or parent of a U1.
    The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), however, has 
decided there should be separate visa classifications for the spouses, 
the children and the parents of the T1 and U1 principals. This rule 
corrects section 41.12 by revising the T2 and U2 classification symbols 
and creating additional classification symbols T3, T4, U3, and U4.
    This rule also amends the N8 and N9 categories to include 
dependents of the SN categories (NATO special immigrants) to comply 
with the provisions of Pub. L. 105-277. This rule corrects section 
41.12 to read as follows:

List of Subjects in 22 CFR Part 41

    Aliens, Nonimmigrants, Passports, and Visas.

    Accordingly, 22 CFR part 41 is corrected by making the following 
correcting amendments:

PART 41--VISAS: DOCUMENTATION OF NONIMMIGRANTS UNDER THE 
IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT, AS AMENDED

    1. The authority citation for part 41 continues to read as follows:

seq.


Sec. 41.12  (Amended)

    2. In the table in Sec. 41.12, revise the entries for N8 and N9, 
correct the entries for T2 and U2 and add the new visa classification 
symbols T3 and T4 and U3 and U4 to read as follows:
