                Proclamation 10149 of February 24, 2021

                
Revoking Proclamation 10014

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                The suspension of entry imposed in Proclamation 10014 
                of April 22, 2020 (Suspension of Entry of Immigrants 
                Who Present a Risk to the United States Labor Market 
                During the Economic Recovery Following the 2019 Novel 
                Coronavirus Outbreak), as extended by section 1 of 
                Proclamation 10052 of June 22, 2020 (Suspension of 
                Entry of Immigrants and Nonimmigrants Who Present a 
                Risk to the United States Labor Market During the 
                Economic Recovery Following the 2019 Novel Coronavirus 
                Outbreak), and section 1 of Proclamation 10131 of 
                December 31, 2020 (Suspension of Entry of Immigrants 
                and Nonimmigrants Who Continue To Present a Risk to the 
                United States Labor Market During the Economic Recovery 
                Following the 2019 Novel Coronavirus Outbreak), does 
                not advance the interests of the United States. To the 
                contrary, it harms the United States, including by 
                preventing certain family members of United States 
                citizens and lawful permanent residents from joining 
                their families here. It also harms industries in the 
                United States that utilize talent from around the 
                world. And it harms individuals who were selected to 
                receive the opportunity to apply for, and those who 
                have likewise received, immigrant visas through the 
                Fiscal Year 2020 Diversity Visa Lottery. Proclamation 
                10014 has prevented these individuals from entering the 
                United States, resulting, in some cases, in the delay 
                and possible forfeiture of their opportunity to receive 
                Fiscal Year 2020 diversity visas and to realize their 
                dreams in the United States.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of 
                the United States, by the authority vested in me by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, including sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the 
                Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 
                1185(a), hereby find that the unrestricted entry into 
                the United States of persons described in section 1 of 
                Proclamation 10014 is not detrimental to the interests 
                of the United States. I therefore hereby proclaim the 
                following:

                Section 1. Revocation. Proclamation 10014, section 1 of 
                Proclamation 10052, and section 1 of Proclamation 10131 
                are revoked.

                Sec. 2. Review of Agency Guidance. The Secretary of 
                State, the Secretary of Labor, and the Secretary of 
                Homeland Security shall review any regulations, orders, 
                guidance documents, policies, and any other similar 
                agency actions developed pursuant to Proclamation 10014 
                and, as appropriate, issue revised guidance consistent 
                with the policy set forth in this proclamation.

                Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this 
                proclamation shall be construed to impair or otherwise 
                affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or 
the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

                    (b) This proclamation shall be implemented 
                consistent with applicable law and subject to the 
                availability of appropriations.
                    (c) This proclamation is not intended to, and does 
                not, create any right or benefit, substantive or 
                procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by

[[Page 11848]]

                any party against the United States, its departments, 
                agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or 
                agents, or any other person.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-fourth day of February, in the year of our Lord 
                two thousand twenty-one, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                fifth.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
