FEDERALLY ASSISTED PROGRAMS
Significance:
Subject to OMB review: Yes
Legal Authority: 20 USC 1682
CFR Citation: 28 CFR 42 subpart J (New)
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: This proposed rule would implement title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972, as amended (title IX). Title IX prohibits
discrimination on the basis of a person's sex in an educational program
or activity receiving Federal financial assistance from a Federal
department such as the Department of Justice (the Department). On June
17, 1980, the Department of Justice published a notice of proposed
rulemaking to implement title IX (45 FR 41001), but that proposed rule
was never issued as a final rule. Subsequent legislation and judicial
decisions require several revisions of the proposed regulation.
Therefore, the Department is initiating a new rulemaking proceeding.
The economic impact of this regulation should be limited. Existing
Department of Education title IX regulations already cover almost all
State and local education programs. Furthermore, the scope of this
regulation is limited to such activities as FBI and DEA training of
local law enforcement personnel, the provision by INS of citizenship
textbooks to schools for use by aliens, and similar programs.

Abstract: This regulation will temporarily suspend certain requirements
for detectable warnings in the Americans with Disabilities Act
Accessibility Guidelines. The Architectural and Transportation Barriers
Compliance Board (Access Board) plans to conduct additional research on
detectable warnings at curb ramps and hazardous vehicular areas in
response to potential safety concerns. The Access Board, the Department
of Justice, and the Department of Transportation published on July 9,
1993, the proposed rule to suspend the detectable warning requirements
while the research is conducted. This rule will finalize the
suspension.

1982. RECORDS AND REPORTS OF LISTED CHEMICALS AND CERTAIN
MACHINES (ELIMINATION OF EPHEDRINE THRESHOLD)
Legal Authority: 21 USC 802; 21 USC 830; 21 USC 871(b)
CFR Citation: 21 CFR 1310
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: This rule would eliminate the threshold level for ephedrine
for domestic distributions and import/export transactions. Under the
Chemical Diversion and Trafficking Act (CDTA), DEA established
threshold amounts for transactions involving the chemicals regulated by
the CDTA. Domestic distributions and import/export transactions meeting
or exceeding the established threshold levels are subject to specific
recordkeeping and reporting requirements. The existing threshold would
be eliminated for ephedrine since DEA has found that clandestine
methamphetamine and methcathinone laboratories are utilizing processes
which routinely use quantities of the chemicals well below the existing
threshold. The change would deter the undocumented transfer of
ephedrine to individuals who are illicitly producing methamphetamine
and methcathinone.

CFR Citation: 21 CFR 1310; 21 CFR 1313
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: This rule would amend 21 CFR, parts 1310 and 1313, to require
that persons importing or exporting regulated chemicals: report to DEA
the actual date of importation or exportation and the actual amount of
regulated chemicals imported or exported; establish a 60-day time limit
on the validity of chemical import/export declarations; and clarify
that the threshold levels for hydrochloric acid, anhydrous hydrochloric
acid, and sulfuric acid apply to both exports and transshipments to
designated countries. 21 U.S.C. 971 requires that persons provide DEA
with notification of imports and exports of regulated chemicals at
least 15 days in advance of the proposed transactions. Experience has
shown that the actual date of import/export and amount of chemicals
involved often vary significantly from the proposed date and amounts
reported to DEA. The proposed changes will allow DEA to collect and
maintain accurate information regarding regulated chemical imports/
exports.

USC 871(b); 21 USC 875; 21 USC 877
CFR Citation: 21 CFR 1301
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: In years past, most pharmaceutical manufacturers and
wholesalers, as a service to their customers, accepted returns of
outdated/damaged merchandise. Also, agencies such as DEA and state
Boards of Pharmacy accepted surrendered drugs or witnessed their
disposal by controlled substance registrants. Over the past several
years, environmental concerns and regulations have eliminated many of
the disposal options which had been available. As a result, drug
producers and government agencies alike are increasingly reluctant to
be involved in the disposal process. Due to these factors and the time
and resources expended by DEA and manufacturers, a disposer
registration has become an essential link in the legitimate
distribution chain. Therefore, DEA will propose the establishment of a
new category of controlled substance registrant as a disposer.

Legal Authority: 21 USC 822(d)

Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: This rule would revise the language under title 21, Code of
Federal Regulations, section 1301.24 to clarify DEA's policy regarding
the exemption of certain agents and employees of DEA registrants. The
Administrator of DEA is granted the authority to waive the requirement
of registration for certain manufacturers, distributors and dispensers
for controlled substances pursuant to Section 302 of the Controlled
Substances Act (21 U.S.C. Section 822(d)). There has been confusion on
the part of dispensers regarding the exemptions allowed under section
1301.24 with respect to practitioners who act as agents or employees of
DEA registrants. The amended language would clarify the circumstances
under which practitioners may administer, dispense and prescribe
controlled substances as agents or employees of DEA registrants in lieu
of being registered themselves.

Abstract: DEA proposes to amend its regulations to eliminate the

registration of certain manufacturers and importers of controlled
substances. The current regulations require that DEA hold a hearing
whenever such is requested by another applicant or registrant. The
proposed change would provide for a hearing only when the Administrator
determines that a hearing is necessary to receive factual evidence and/
or expert testimony with respect to issues raised by the application or
objections thereto.

use their exempt status to obtain registrations for private practice
outside of their official duties. By limiting the exemption, DEA will

exemption status of these individuals.

The rule also provides the States flexibility by permitting the use of
abstracts of criminal conviction records, if that option makes
providing the needed records easier.
The rule will help the States meet the requirements of Section 507 of

Abstract: This rule proposes to amend the regulations to allow the

The imbalance between workload and resources available to land border
operations has necessitated the implementation of appropriate solutions
to supplement the appropriate resources. The revenue generated by the
collection of land border user fees will enable the Service to allocate
additional resources to improve service to the public at land border
POEs.

Abstract: The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) imposed
sanctions against employers who hire aliens not authorized to work.
Since many of the nation's agricultural employers have become dependent
upon such workers to meet production and harvesting needs, Congress
created the Special Agricultural Workers (SAW) Program and the
Replenishment Agricultural Workers (RAW) Program to grant permanent
resident status to certain agricultural workers. To clarify the process
through which employers can employ nonimmigrant seasonal and temporary
agricultural workers, Congress moved agricultural employment from H-2
classification into a separate H-2A class, and incorporated a labor
certification process into the statute. This rule established special
H-2A regulatory criteria, and supplemented the Department of Labor's
rules covering the temporary agricultural labor certification process.
This rule has amended Service regulations which pertain to temporary
alien workers seeking classification under section 101(a)(15)9H) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act.

jurisdiction over E treaty aliens. The rule will promote uniformity in
adjudication between Service field officers and State consular
officers, encourage trade and investment in the United States by
citizens of countries with whom the United States has treaties, and
stimulate continuing and prospective businesses and job opportunities
beneficial to the United States economy. It will also ensure fair and
consistent adjudication and enforcement by Service field offices
throughout the United States and in the reviewing courts.

Legal Deadline: NPRM, Statutory, October 1, 1993.
Department of State and Department of Justice must implement program by
October 1, 1993.
Abstract: On August 24, the Federal Register published an interim rule
on the investor pilot program. Under this program, regional economic
development centers will be able to participate in the immigrant
investor program. Once a regional economic development center has been
designated by INS Headquarters Adjudications, an immigrant investor can
make an investment of at least $500,000 or $1,000,000 depending on the
location of the investment, within the regional center. This program
will be more attractive to immigrant investors because the requirement
that 10 U.S. workers be employed by the immigrant investor's enterprise
will be relaxed. The 10 new jobs can be indirectly created by the new
investment. Participation in the investor pilot program is limited to
300 immigrant visas per year.

the intent of Congress to streamline the deportation proceedings of
aliens in the United States.

Abstract: The current regulations need to be updated to simplify the

remedy deficiencies in the current regulations, and to provide for
petitions filed by or on behalf of certain victims in fraud cases.
There is an urgent need to promulgate these regulations because
forfeiture is now being increasingly sought in white collar crime
cases, involving thousands of victims, that cannot be concluded until
these current regulations are revised.

Abstract: This proposed rule would require an Immigration Judge to
enter an order of deportation or exclusion, without a hearing, if
satisfied that the alien voluntarily entered into a plea-negotiated or
otherwise stipulated request for an order of deportation or exclusion.
It further codifies the well established practice of an Immigration
Judge in conducting telephonic hearings in deportation, exclusion, or
rescission cases, as well as codifying the authority of the Immigration
Judge to hold video teleconferenced hearings.

Legal Authority: 8 USC 1324b
CFR Citation: 28 CFR 44.100 to 44.305
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: This section prohibits discrimination on the basis of
national origin and citizenship status. The existing regulations
implementing the antidiscrimination provisions of section 274B of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1324b, need to be modified to
incorporate the Immigration Act of 1990 amendments. As currently
written, portions of the existing regulations conflict with the amended
statute. This conflict creates a significant problem in the enforcement
and the comprehension of the antidiscrimination provisions. In
addition, as the case law develops under this new statute, two issues
have arisen. First, many issues have not been addressed or defined by
the statute or regulations. Second, while it is possible for these
issues to be decided on a case by case basis, the case law is not
reported by any service. This has created a significant problem in the
comprehension of the antidiscrimination provisions. The main objectives
of this rulemaking will be to eliminate contradictions, to incorporate
additions, to promote a better understanding of the antidiscrimination
provisions, and to determine whether additional clarification of the

Abstract: The Immigration Act of 1990 provides that an alien
entrepreneur and his or her family may obtain lawful permanent
residence on a conditional basis, subject to the requirements of a
timely petition and interview for removal of the condition two years
after obtaining such status. Termination of such status is made
reviewable in deportation proceedings before an Immigration Judge. This
proposed rule sets forth the procedures that an Immigration Judge will
follow in reviewing the termination by the Immigration and
Naturalization Service of conditional permanent resident status of
alien entrepreneurs and their families.

Abstract: This rule amends 28 CFR part 68, which contains the rules of
practice and procedure for administrative hearings conducted to enforce
sections 274A, 274B, and 274C of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Sections 274A and 274B were added to the INA by the Immigration Reform
and Control Act of 1986, and were amended by title V of the Immigration
Act of 1990, which added section 274C to the INA. These amendments are
necessary to bring the practices and provisions established in part 68
into conformity with the provisions of the INA. Specifically, these
amendments will clarify the amount of time a party has to appeal to the
United States Court of Appeals and Administrative Law Judge's order in
a section 274A or a section 274C proceeding.

the authority of an Immigration Judge to waive the appearance of minors
and represented aliens at hearings. Further, the rule establishes the
procedural requirements for custody hearings, pre-hearing conferences,

the assumption that the submission contained a full and accurate
statement of the company's planned activities. This procedure would
address the concerns of cruise ship companies that are reluctant to
undertake operations in an area that they perceive to be complex and
with respect to which it may be considered difficult to predict the
legality of the proposed conduct.
