commercial facilities (title III). Those regulations included 
accessibility guidelines required for facilities covered by title III--
the ADA Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (ADAAG)--
but did not specifically include guidelines for facilities covered by 
title II, such as courthouses or prisons. Title II entities now have 
the option of using ADAAG (without certain exceptions applicable only 
to title III facilities) or another existing standard, the Uniform 
Federal Accessibility Standards.
The final rule will amend titles II and III to adopt a revised version 
of ADAAG, which incorporates new guidelines for facilities typically 
covered by title II. The new guidelines were issued as an interim rule 
by the Access Board and were published on the same day as the 
Department's proposed rule. The Department's final rule will also amend 
the compliance procedures set forth in subpart F of the title II 
regulation.

1887. UNFAIR IMMIGRATION-RELATED EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

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 finalized 
to incorporate the Immigration Act of 1990 amendments. In addition, as 
the case law develops under this new statute, issues have arisen which 
have not been addressed or defined by the statute or regulations. 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 antidiscrimination 
provisions would promote a better understanding of the 
antidiscrimination provisions and lead to a decline in employers' 
discriminatory practices.

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.

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: This rule would implement the provisions of the Domestic 
Chemical Diversion Act of 1993, which was passed by Congress and signed 
by the President on December 17, 1993. The provisions amend the 
Chemical Diversion and Trafficking Act of 1988. The DCDCA grants DEA 
the authority to exercise more effective control over the manufacture, 
distribution, import, and export of List I chemicals. The DCDCA also 
removes the exemption granted to drug products which contain ephedrine, 
thus eliminating a previously unrestricted source of the chemical for 
clandestine laboratories which illicitly manufacture methamphetamine 
and methcathinone.

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.

1901. MOTIONS AND APPEALS IN IMMIGRATION PROCEEDINGS

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  5 USC 301; 8 USC 1103; 8 USC 1252 note; 8 USC 1252b; 
8 USC 1362; 28 USC 509; 28 USC 510; 28 USC 1746; Sec. 2, Reorg. Plan 
No. 2 of 1950; 3 CFR, 1949 to 1953 Comp, p 1002

CFR Citation:  8 CFR 1; 8 CFR 3; 8 CFR 103; 8 CFR 208; 8 CFR 212; 8 CFR 
242

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Statutory, June 1991.

Abstract: Proposed regulations were published in the Federal Register 
on June 7, 1994 (59 FR 29386) (hereinafter referred to as the June 
proposed rulemaking), concerning motions and appeals in immigration 
proceedings and on May 13, 1994 (59 FR 24977) (hereinafter referred to 
as the May proposed rulemaking), concerning fees. The June proposed 
rulemaking was promulgated to implement section 545 of the Immigration 
Act of 1990, Public Law 101-649, which requires both time and number 
limitations on motions to reopen and reconsider and changes in the 
substantive and procedural aspects of motion and appeal practice. The 
May proposed rulemaking was promulgated to establish an alternative 
procedure for filing proof of fee payments with the Board of 
Immigration Appeals (Board).
Since the publication of these two proposed rules, the agency has 
further examined its current appeal procedures and has decided to 
establish a uniform central system for filing and tracking appeals 
before the Board. Under the proposed procedure, parties would file a 
notice of appeal from a decision of an Immigration Judge and remit the 
appeal fee or fee waiver petition with the notice of appeal directly to 
the Board. The rule would also require that motions to reopen and 
motions to reconsider decisions of the Board be filed directly with the 
Board accompanied by the appropriate fee or fee waiver petition. This 
rule would supersede the May and June proposed rulemakings.
This proposed centralization of the appeals procedure is fundamentally 
interrelated to the proposed changes of both the May and June proposed 
rulemakings. Therefore, the agency has determined to merge these 
substantive and procedural proposals into one rule and to provide an 
opportunity for public comment on this merged rule. The June proposed 
rule has been changed to clarify certain provisions and to reflect many 
of the commentors' concerns. The single unified proposed rule is 
published herein and addresses both the language of section 545(d) of 
the Immigration Act of 1990 and new procedural changes to the filing of 
appeals, motions, and their concomitant fees with the Board.

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

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 streamlines the regulatory process for executing a 
final order of exclusion by sliding forward the 72-hour waiting period, 
which currently falls after the Service assumes custody of the alien 
pursuant to a notice to surrender or arrest, to the period immediately 
after service of the decision upon the alien, in conformity to the 
current deportation procedure. The rule also eliminates the subsequent 
step of obtaining the alien's specific consent or request to waive the 
72-hour period when the alien has already waived appeal of the 
Immigration Judge's exclusion or deportation order on the record of 
proceeding before the Immigration Judge. These revisions are necessary 
in order to eliminate unnecessary detention costs to the taxpayer and 
potential delays resulting from the current 72-hour provision.

CFR Citation:  8 CFR 212

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule proposes to amend the Immigration and 
Naturalization Service (Service) regulations which permit district 
directors in individual cases, to waive a nonimmigrant visa or passport 
requirement, under section 212(d)(4)(A) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (Act), if they are satisfied that a nonimmigrant alien 
is unable to present these documents because of an unforeseen 
emergency. The rule will clarify that carriers are liable for fines 
imposed under section 273(a) of the Act for bringing nonimmigrants to 
the United States who do not have a valid passport, nonimmigrant visa, 
or border crossing identification card, even if a waiver of these 
documents is granted by the district director at the time of entry into 
the United States. This rule is necessary to conform to the statutory 
requirement that a fine be imposed when a nonimmigrant is transported 
to the United States without the proper documentation.

Abstract: The INS rule would amend existing regulations concerning 
applications for evidence of lawful permanent residence. It would 
clarify the filing venue for Form I-90, Application by a Lawful 
Permanent Resident for an Alien Registration Receipt Card, and also the 
circumstances in which that application would be exempted from the 
filing fee. The rule would help to minimize confusion over certain 
aspects for filing for replacement cards. INS 1671
The Service may also propose regulations which will delay the effective 
date of previously issued changes to Title 8 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations. The Alien Registration Receipt Card (Form I-151) was to 
become invalid as of 3-20-95, this rule would provide for an extension 
of that date through 3-20-96. INS 1703

which would have INS change its procedures. The impact of the rule 
change would be that both the INS and the cruise ships would be 
required to complete additional paperwork, however it would result in a 
strengthening of controls and the elimination of weaknesses.

necessary to reduce INS resources expended on the inspection of non-

inspects those crew members every 90-days with another physical 
presentation. The inspectors inspect every new arriving and departing 
crew member and obtain crew manifests on all voyages of the vessel. The 
use of the 90-day waiver is necessary to meet the statutory requirement 
of inspecting everyone arriving in the US, while concurrently

Abstract: The INS proposes to change regulations at 8 CFR 214.2(c)(2) 
relating to persons entitled to pass in transit to and from the UN 
Headquarters District. The current rules restrict aliens in transit to 
the UN from traveling beyond the UN Headquarters District (defined as a 
25-mile radius of Columbus Circle, NY,NY). The proposed changes would 
allow an alien on official business in possession of a C-2 nonimmigrant 
visa to travel outside the UN Headquarters District unless otherwise 
provided by the Secretary of State. The changes also describe the term 
``official business'' so that alien consultants to the UN may be 
included in the regulations.
The rule will also amend current regulations to comply with the 
decision rendered by the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit 
dated 11-3-94. The INS would change the regulations to comply with the 
Courts decision and to allow the INS to collect information with which 
to control the admission and temporary stay of nonimmigrant aliens in 
the US.

Legal Deadline: None

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)(H) of the 
Immigration and Nationality Act.

Abstract: This rule reduces the number of INS-issued documents that are 
[[Page 23511]] acceptable for purposes of completing the Employment 
Eligibility Verification Form (Form I-9). This rule will further 
simplify compliance with the employment eligibility verification 
requirements and address the concerns of employers who allege confusion 
created by the number of acceptable documents.
A supplemental proposed rule will be issued which will create a 
requirement on the part of the employee to sign an attestation in 
Section 3 of Form I-9, during the reverification process indicating 
that they are still authorized to work in the United States. The 
supplemental rule will also address other issues raised through 
comments and Service developments relating to Employment Authorization 
Documents (EADs). (INS No. 1399S)
A public notice is under consideration which would provide for a 
Demonstration Project concerning the electronic preparation and storage 
of INS Forms I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification Form. (INS No. 
1713)

Statement of Need: In a March 1990 report, the General Accounting 
Office (GAO) noted that the multiplicity of acceptable work eligibility 
documents can give rise to confusion and uncertainty in the minds of 
employers seeking to determine whether individuals are eligible to 
work. (Immigration Reform: Employer Sanctions and the Question of 
Discrimination 62 (GAO/GGD-90-62, Mar. 1990)). A reduction in the 
number of acceptable documents should reduce confusion and uncertainty 
on the part of employers, and thereby reduce potential employment 
discrimination based upon misapplication of the employment eligibility 
verification requirements.

Summary of the Legal Basis: The legal basis of authority for this 
regulation is set forth above in Legal Authority. No aspect of this 
regulatory action is required by statute or court order.

Alternatives: One often repeated criticism of employer sanctions is the 
number of documents that are acceptable for completing the Form I-9. 
The INS has taken steps to address this criticism. In July 1988, the 
INS committed to the establishment of procedures for a uniform 
employment authorization policy. First, the INS limited the number and 
types of paper documents on which employment could be authorized. 
Second, the INS introduced the standardized Employment Authorization 
Document (Form I-688B). Finally, a final rule published on September 
20, 1993, and effective September 20, 1994, revises the INS regulations 
by terminating the validity of all prior versions of the Alien 
Registration Receipt Card and establishing the current Alien 
Registration Receipt Card, Form I-551, as the exclusive registration 
card for use by lawful permanent residents (LPRs). The INS has 
determined that further steps can be taken to streamline the employment 
eligibility verification system by reducing the number of documents 
acceptable for Form I-9 purposes.

Anticipated Costs and Benefits: Employment is often the magnet that 
attracts individuals to come to or stay in the United States illegally. 
The employer sanctions provisions help reduce the strength of this 
magnet by requiring employers to hire only those individuals who may 
legally work in the United States. This rule, by reducing the number of 
documents that are acceptable for employment eligibility verification 
purposes, will reduce confusion and uncertainty on the part of 
employers in the application of the employment eligibility verification 
requirements. This, in turn, will increase employer compliance and 
thereby result in more jobs being available for those who are 
authorized to work in the United States. In addition, by reducing 
confusion and uncertainty on the part of employers, this rule will 
reduce potential employment discrimination based upon misapplication of 
the employment eligibility verification requirements.

Risks: An employment eligibility verification system that relies on a 
multiplicity of documents, and is difficult to understand, may result 
in employment discrimination based upon misapplication of the 
employment eligibility verification requirements. In addition, a 
complicated employment eligibility verification system may encourage 
fraud and result in individuals who are authorized to work in the 
United States being displaced by unauthorized individuals.

CFR Citation:  8 CFR 212

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This regulation implements section 511 of the Immigration Act 
of 1990, Pub. L. 101-649, by providing that a lawful permanent resident 
applying for advance permission to enter the United States under 
section 212(c) of the Act may not be granted such permission if he or 
she has been convicted of an aggravated felony and has served a term of 
imprisonment of at least five years.
The Immigration and Nationality Technical Corrections Act of 1994, Pub. 
L. 103-416, revised the definition of ``aggravated felony'', thereby 
requiring changes to the interim regulations. A second interim rule 
will be promulgated.
This rule will also provide that certain specified aliens are 
ineligible for discretionary relief under section 212(c) of the Act for 
a period of five years from the date of the barring act if the alien 
fails to appear for deportation, appear at an asylum hearing, or 
voluntarily depart.

thereby requiring further modifications to the regulatory document. A 
second interim rule will therefore be promulgated.

Abstract: This rule codifies existing policy guidelines on the 
classification of nonimmigrant treaty aliens. The regulation is 
necessary to fulfill U.S. treaty obligations, avoid confusion and 
ensure uniform adjudication of applications, and to facilitate change 
of status and stay of business traders and investors.
The rule responds to the need for uniformity between the Immigration 
and Naturalization Service and the Department of State, which have dual 
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.

1963. TEMPORARY ALIEN WORKERS SEEKING CLASSIFICATION UNDER THE 
IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  8 USC 1101; 8 USC 1103; 8 USC 1184; 8 USC 1186A; 8 
USC 1187; 8 CFR 2; 8 USC 1104; 8 USC 1182; 8 USC 1221; 8 USC 1281; 8 
USC 1282

CFR Citation:  8 CFR 214

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: These regulations implement provisions of the Immigration Act 
of 1990 (IMMACT), Pub. L. 101-649, as they relate to temporary alien 
workers seeking nonimmigrant classification and admission to the US 
under sections 101(a)(15)(H),(L),(O), and (P) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (Act).
INS Regulation No. 1653 proposes to bring the H, O, and P 
Classification regulations into conformity with the employer sanctions 
provisions of Section 274a of the Act. It precludes foreign employers 
from filing petitions for O and P nonimmigrant aliens. Prospective 
foreign employers seeking to utilize these classifications will be 
required to employ the services of an established US agent in order to 
file a petition for an O or P nonimmigrant. The rule also would amend 
the H nonimmigrant regulations by requiring foreign employers seeking 
to petition for H-2B nonimmigrants to also utilize the services of an 
established US agent.

1977. RULES AND PROCEDURES FOR ADJUDICATION OF APPLICATION FOR 
ASYLUM OR WITHHOLDING OF DEPORTATION AND EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION

Priority:  Regulatory Plan

Legal Authority:  5 USC 552; 5 USC 552a; 8 USC 1101; 8 USC 1103; 8 USC 
1201; 8 USC 1252 note; 8 USC 1252b; 8 USC 1304; 8 USC 1356; 31 USC 9701

CFR Citation:  8 CFR 103; 8 CFR 208; 8 CFR 236; 8 CFR 242; 8 CFR 274a

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule would amend existing regulations to streamline the 
procedures employed in the adjudication of asylum applications 
submitted in the first instance to Asylum Officers within the INS. The 
rule also restricts applications for employment authorization based on 
an underlying asylum application to those applicants whose asylum 
applications have been pending more than 150 days.
A supplement to the final rule adds a revision date to 8 CFR 299.1 for 
Form I-589 which has been revised to reflect changes prescribed in the 
new asylum regulations. The supplement also specifies the date on which 
all applications for asylum and for withholding of deportation must be 
filed using the new version of the Form I-589. (INS 1651N)
A final rule will also be generated by the Service which will give 
authority to issue charging documents initiating exclusion and 
deportation proceedings to the Assistant Commissioner, Refugee, Asylum, 
and Parole, and to Supervisory Asylum Officers. (INS 1343)

Statement of Need: The volume of asylum applications filed has 
increased from 56,000 in 1991, to over 150,000 in fiscal year 1993. 
Approximately 398,000 asylum applications were pending as of August 1, 
1994. To help process the increase in asylum claims, the Service is 
doubling the Asylum Officer Corps to a total of 331 officers in 1994. 
If asylum reform is not implemented, the asylum backlog will continue 
to grow.
This rule is necessary because the existing system for adjudicating 
asylum claims lacks the capacity to keep pace with the incoming 
applications and does not permit the expeditions removal from the 
United States of those persons whose claims fail. A significant and 
growing percentage of current asylum applications appear on their face 
to be nonmeritorious or abusive. Current regulations unduly lengthen 
and complicate the adjudications process without appreciable benefit to 
deserving asylum applicants.

Summary of the Legal Basis: The legal basis of authority for this 
regulation is set forth above in Legal Authority. No aspect of this 
regulatory action is required by statute or court order.

Alternatives: INS reviewed the existing regulations to determine what 
streamlining measures could be undertaken without the need for 
regulatory change. This process was undertaken by INS in consultation 
with various representatives of nongovernmental organizations. It was 
determined that no significant changes could be made to the process 
under the existing regulations. As a result, a DOJ working group was 
convened to undertake the development of a comprehensive reform 
proposal. A consultant who is an expert in immigration law was hired to 
assist in this process.

Anticipated Costs and Benefits: This rule would institute a user fee 
for filing asylum applications so that the processing of these 
applications will be self-sustaining to the extent possible. 
[[Page 23519]] These fees were set at a level which will allow INS to 
provide the service to asylum applicants without increasing the 
Service's budget. INS believes that it would impose a hardship on 
asylum applicants if they were required to pay the entire cost of the 
service rendered them. Therefore, part of the cost per asylum applicant 
is currently recovered though a surcharge to the fees for filing 
applications other than asylum.

Risks: The risk of not proceeding with reform of the asylum process is 
that asylum applicants whose claims are not decided will continue to 
receive indefinite work authorization. This indefinite work 
authorization puts such applicants into an immigration limbo while 
their applications are delayed because of the backlog of claims. An 
additional risk of the current system is that persons without 
legitimate claims can file asylum applications as a way of remaining in 
the United States and working during the pendency of their claims. 
Nonmeritorious claims delay the processing of meritorious claims and 
the receipt of those benefits provided by law for asylees such as the 
accrual of residency for naturalization and family reunification visas.

1981. REORGANIZATION OF THE IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE

Priority:  Regulatory Plan

1201; 8 USC 1252 note; 8 USC 1252b; 8 USC 1304; 8 USC 1356; 31 USC 
9701; 8 CFR 2

CFR Citation:  8 CFR 100; 8 CFR 103

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule revises the existing organizational structure 
within the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service). On January 
14, 1994, the Attorney General approved a reorganization plan for the 
Service. The changes effected by this rule are necessary to implement 
that plan. (INS Regulation 1501).
INS Regulation 1682-94 further revises the organizational structure of 
the Service as defined in 8 CFR 100.4.

Statement of Need: This rule is necessary to establish a classic 
structure that empowers field managers and allows INS Headquarters to 
steer, not row. It positions INS to reinvent itself, to rethink the way 
its officers approach their tasks and missions, so that INS can meet 
the organizational challenges of a future where effectively 
administering the Nation's immigration system has become a key national 
priority.

Summary of the Legal Basis: The legal basis of authority for this 
regulation is set forth above in Legal Authority. No aspect of this 
regulatory action is required by statute or court order.

Alternatives: INS reviewed previous reports analyzing INS management 
problems; held formal meetings with key INS personnel, including the 
National Immigration and Naturalization Service Council leadership, the 
District Directors Association and the Chief Patrol Agents Association; 
held telephone conferences with Regional Administrators and with Staff 
Assistants for Field Operations; conducted telephone interviews with 
mid-level field managers selected by random process; established a 
working group, representing major functions and offices; and sought 
views from external stakeholders with interest in INS. After 
consideration of all opinions and input, INS is adopting a new 
organizational structure with a back-to-basics philosophy where 
accountability at all levels, high standards of integrity, and quality 
performance will be required.

Anticipated Costs and Benefits: The plan is designed as much for the 
future as it is for today. Its premise is that the energy of the INS 
management team should be focused on the effectiveness of the Service's 
programs and operations. It is this improving of managerial 
effectiveness that is the primary anticipated benefit of this 
reorganization.
Some of the costs and benefits of this reorganization are intangible 
and cannot be measured until the new structure has been operational. 
However, cost savings are expected to follow naturally from increased 
managerial effectiveness.
The new structure provides clear lines of authority and vests 
responsibility and accountability at the most appropriate levels.

Risks: Not applicable.

National Council of State Boards of Nursing uses to administer the 
permanent state licensure examination (NCLEX). With the change in 
testing procedures the rule will provide that nurses entering the US, 
on the basis of a temporary license issued by the state of intended 
employment, pass the NCLEX within 6 months after the date of their 
initial admission to the US.

application for participation in a Dedicated Commuter Lane (DCL), 
instead of at the time of approval of the application. The DCL program 
is a pilot project established at selected land border ports of entry 
to expedite the transborder movement of eligible, pre-screened, low-
risk groups through designated traffic lanes. The rule clarifies the 
fee requirements for use of the DCL.

CFR Citation:  8 CFR 103; 8 CFR 212; 8 CFR 217; 8 CFR 245

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule allows certain persons in the US to adjust status 
to that of a lawful permanent resident before October 1, 1997. These 
persons, although eligible for immigrant visa issuance abroad, have 
been barred from adjustment of status because they had entered the US 
without inspection or had violated the conditions of temporary 
nonimmigrant status. The rule allows prospective lawful permanent or 
conditional residents to avoid the difficulties and expense of travel 
to a US consulate or embassy abroad. It continues to penalize these 
violators of the immigration laws by requiring most adult applicants to 
pay an additional sum in excess of the standard adjustment filing fee. 
After adjusting status they may lawfully live and work in the US and 
may later be eligible to seek US citizenship through naturalization.

Nationality Technical Corrections Act, Public Law 103-416. The changes 
allow certain foreign medical graduates who entered the US in J-1 
status, and their J-2 dependent spouse and children to obtain a waiver 
of the 2 year home country physical presence requirement pursuant to a 
request by a State Department of Public Health, or its equivalent, thus 
allowing them to work at a health care facility in an area designated 
by the Secretary, Health and Human Services, as having a shortage of 
health care professionals. This rule will allow foreign medical 
graduates to change their nonimmigrant status in the US from J-1 
exchange visitor to H-1B speciality occupation worker.

to accompany or follow-to-join a principal alien.

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Statutory, March 13, 1995.

Abstract: This rule develops, in cooperation with the States, a 
national voluntary motor vehicle theft prevention program under which 
the owner of a motor vehicle may voluntarily sign a consent form with a 
participating State or locality in which the motor vehicle owner states 
that the vehicle is not normally operated under certain specified 
conditions. Under this program, the owner agrees to display program 
decals or devices on the owner's vehicle and to permit law enforcement 
officials in any State to stop the motor vehicle and take reasonable 
steps to determine whether the vehicle is being operated by or with the 
permission of the owner, if the vehicle is being operated under the 
specified conditions.
Participating States and localities will authorize law enforcement 
officials in the State or locality to stop motor vehicles displaying 
program decals or devices under the specified conditions and take 
reasonable steps to determine whether the vehicle is being operated by 
or with the permission of the owner.
This rule establishes: the uniform design or device to be displayed by 
motor vehicles participating in this program; the voluntary consent 
form used to enroll in the program; and the specified conditions under 
which stops may be authorized (which may not be based on race, creed, 
color, national origin, gender or age).

2030. REVISION OF REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE REMISSION OR MITIGATION 
OF CIVIL AND CRIMINAL FORFEITURES

Priority:  Regulatory Plan

Legal Authority:  28 USC 509; 28 USC 510; 28 USC 515 to 518; 28 USC 
524; 8 USC 1324; 15 USC 1177; 17 USC 509; 18 USC 512; 18 USC 981; 18 
USC 982; 18 USC 1467; 18 USC 1955; 18 USC 1963; 18 USC 2253; 18 USC 
2254

CFR Citation:  28 CFR 9

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This regulation amends and adopts rules that govern the 
processing of petitions for remission and mitigation of forfeitures by 
the Criminal Division, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal 
Bureau of Investigation, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, 
and the United States Marshals Service of the United States Department 
of Justice. It is intended to provide a basis for similar rules to be 
adopted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the Internal 
Revenue Service, the United States Secret Service of the Department of 
the Treasury, and the United States Postal Service. The Department 
proposes this regulation in an effort to ameliorate the harsh results 
in individual forfeiture cases and to provide relief to innocent 
persons whose property is used by others for criminal purposes.

Statement of Need: The current regulations need to be updated to 
simplify the petition process, to provide for consistent rulings on 
petitions, to remedy deficiencies in the current regulations, and to 
provide for petitions filed by or on behalf of certain victims in fraud 
cases. These regulations are necessary because forfeiture is now being 
increasingly sought in white collar crime cases involving thousands of 
victims.

Summary of the Legal Basis: The legal basis of authority for this 
regulation is set forth above in Legal Authority. No aspect of this 
regulatory action is required by statute or court order.

Alternatives: Regulations governing the remission or mitigation of 
civil and criminal forfeitures provide essential procedures for the 
Attorney General to avoid the unfair forfeiture of innocent persons' 
property interests and to mitigate the sometimes unreasonable and harsh 
results of forfeitures. The alternative to issuance of this regulation 
would be to continue the current system of multiple regulations issued 
by the above described agencies.

Anticipated Costs and Benefits: No additional cost is anticipated to 
result from the revised regulations because petitions for remission or 
mitigation are already an integral part of forfeiture program 
operations. The anticipated benefit of the revised regulations is the 
satisfaction of the needs stated in the above Statement of Need.

Risks: Not applicable.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: United States Trustees appoint private trustees to serve in 
bankruptcy cases filed under title 11, United States Code. Pursuant to 
28 USC section 586(d), the Attorney General is required to prescribe by 
rule qualifications for membership on panels from which the United 
States Trustees appoint trustees to serve in specific bankruptcy cases 
filed under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, the Attorney 
General is required to prescribe by rule qualifications for appointment 
as a standing trustee in cases filed under chapters 12 and 13 of the 
Bankruptcy Code. The qualifications prescribed by the Attorney General 
pursuant to 28 USC section 586(d) are found at 28 CFR 58.3, 58.4. This 
rule amends those qualifications by adding a requirement that the 
applicant have three years of either bankruptcy experience or 
experience as a fiduciary. In addition, this rule clarifies that the 
United States Trustees have authority not only to establish panels of 
trustees in the first instance, but also to revise and periodically 
reconstitute such panels. Finally, the rule sets forth certain 
technical amendments to 28 CFR Part 58.

2040.  VIOLENT OFFENDER INCARCERATION AND TRUTH IN 
SENTENCING INCENTIVE GRANT PROGRAM

Priority:  Other Significant

Legal Authority:  Subtitle A title II Violent Crime Cont and Law Enf 
Act of 1994; PL 103-322; 108 Stat 1796

CFR Citation:  28 CFR 91

Legal Deadline:  Other, Statutory, January 13, 1995.
Sec 20105 of title II of Violent Crime Cont and Law Enf Act of 1994 
requires the Attorney General to issue rules and regulations re use of 
title II grant funds within 90 days of Act enactment.

Abstract: This regulation implements authorization for grants to 
States, and States organized in multistate compacts, for assistance to 
adult and juvenile correctional systems. The program recognizes that 
States and local jurisdictions have experienced substantial increases 
in jail, prison and juvenile confinement populations in recent years, 
resulting in escalating costs and serious difficulties in managing 
overcapacity correctional populations. Because of these constraints, 
correctional systems have often been unable to implement new programs, 
develop alternative confinement strategies, or open new facilities. 
This program seeks to provide funds to address the immediate needs of 
correctional facilities and programs.
In particular, the program emphasizes the need to make available both 
conventional jail and prison space for the confinement of violent 
offenders and to ensure that violent offenders remain incarcerated for 
substantial periods of time through the implementation of truth in 
sentencing laws. Accordingly, subtitle A directs the Attorney General 
to award grants to construct, develop, expand, modify, operate or 
improve correctional facilities and other correctional facilities that 
will free secure prison space for the confinement of violent offenders.
