Abstract: This proposed amendment would revise the Department's 
regulation implementing Title II to clarify the requirement for 
installation of curb ramps at existing pedestrian walkways and to 
extend the time period for compliance beyond the current deadline of 
January 26, 1995. This amendment responds to public concerns about the 
unique and significant capital expense involved in the installation of 
curb ramps.
The amendment would establish a two-tier system under which public 
entities would be required to provide access to pedestrian walkways 
serving government offices, public transportation, public 
accommodations, places of employment, and the residences of individuals 
with disabilities by January 26, 2000. Access to existing pedestrian 
walkways in other areas would be required by January 26, 2005. The 
proposed rule would require public entities to included a schedule for 
the implementation of these requirements in their transition plans.

Abstract: On July 26, 1991, the Department published its final rules 
implementing titles II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act 
(ADA), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by 
public entities (title II) and in places of accommodation and 
commercial facilities (title III). Those regulations included 
accessibility guidelines but did not specifically include guidelines 
for facilities designed for children.
This rule amends the ADA accessibility guidelines to include guidelines 
based on children's dimensions and anthropometrics and applies to newly 
constructed and altered facilities that are designed for use primarily 
by children. The rule ensures that newly constructed and altered 
children's facilities are readily accessible to and usable by children 
with disabilities.

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.

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 is proposing the establishment of a 
new category of controlled substance registrant as a disposer.

Abstract: The Domestic Chemical Diversion Control Act of 1993 removed 
the exemption from regulation for chemical mixtures. Chemical mixtures 
are now regulated, unless specifically exempted by the Administrator. 
In the proposed rule regarding the implementation of the Domestic 
Chemical Diversion Control Act of 1993, DEA proposed regulations 
regarding exemption of chemical mixtures. Based on industry comments, 
the proposed regulations were subsequently withdrawn for reassessment 
and consultation with industry. These proposed regulations establish 
the new provisions regarding the exemption of chemical mixtures. Based 
on extensive consultations with industry, the regulations are intended 
to establish the least possible burden on industry while remaining 
consistent with the requirements of the law.

requirement for retailers and establishment of a threshold that will 
not require recordkeeping and reporting for sales of personal use 
quantities to legitimate users. Further, the number of products to be

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.

CFR Citation:  8 CFR 3

Legal Deadline: None

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 
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.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: On February 3, 1995, at 60 FR 6647, the Department of Justice 
published a rule finalizing the procedures implementing an 
administrative naturalization process as provided for by recent changes 
in the immigration laws. This rule amends those procedures slightly by 
extending concurrent jurisdiction to administer the oath of allegiance 
to Immigration Judges with certain officers of the Immigration and 
Naturalization Service. This change will provide a more formal setting 
for the oath of allegiance and add to the solemnity of the occasion 
upon which a person becomes a citizen of the United States. In 
addition, it will alleviate in some measure the burden on Service 
personnel and resources to hold periodic naturalization ceremonies by 
expanding the responsibility for this duty to Immigration Judges.

Abstract: The Visa Waiver Pilot Program allows nationals of designated 
countries to apply for admission to the US at land border ports as well 
as at air and sea ports and to enter the US for business or pleasure 
for up to 90 days without first obtaining a nonimmigrant visa.
INS No. 1447 permits nationals of 13 additional designated countries, 
Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, 
Luxembourg, Monaco, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, and San Marino to apply 
for admission for 90 days or less as nonimmigrant visitors for business 
or pleasure without first obtaining a nonimmigrant visa
INS No. 1447R amends section 217 by removing Andorra, Austria, Italy, 
and Monaco as countries participating in the Visa Waiver Pilot Program. 
This action is necessary because these countries no longer meet the 
criteria for continued participation in the program.
INS No. 1674 provided notice of the Congressional extension of the VWPP 
through 9-30-96.
INS No. 1685 extends the VWPP to nationals of Ireland and also allows 
nationals of designated countries whose method of arrival at port-of-

Abstract: The Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) is 
proposing a change in the criteria currently used for approving testing 
entities to administer standardized United States government, history 
and written and oral English testing for persons applying to become 
naturalized United States citizens. Dramatic increases in the number of 
individuals filing to become citizens and the need to strengthen the 
approval criteria in order to prevent fraud necessitate this change. 
After implementation, this rule will provide permanent procedures for 
approving testing entities to administer oral and written English 
language and civics testing and will allow the Service to focus 
manpower resources of naturalization interviews warranting greater 
investigation.
This rule while adding a section to 8 CFR, will assist the public by 
controlling the authorization of local testing centers, thereby 
eliminating fraud which is now plaguing the system.

72-HOUR NOTICE PROVISIONS

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Reinventing Government: This rulemaking is part of the Reinventing

CFR Citation:  8 CFR 237; 8 CFR 243

Legal Deadline: None

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.

Abstract: This document proposes to amend existing Immigration and 
Naturalization Service (Service) regulations to increase the fee 
imposed when a check submitted to the Service in payment of a fee is 
not honored by the bank upon which it is drawn, from $5.00 to $30.00. 
The purpose of the proposed change is to enable the Service to recoup 
the administrative costs incurred in processing all returned checks and 
other defaulted payments. This action will result in the Service no 
longer losing money as a result of bad check activity. The rule will 
apply to all returned checks, including Immigration User Fee payments 
bounce, fines, penalties, etc.. The rule is necessary in order for the 
INS to recover the entire cost associated with the processing of 
defaulted payments.

Abstract: This rule will allow the alien passenger to retain the 
departure Form I-94 while on vessels at sea instead of turning it in 
and having to prepare a new one for every entry into the US after 
departing from contiguous territory or adjacent islands. It is 
necessary to reduce INS resources expended on the inspection of non-
immigrant aliens traveling on cruise vessels which originated in the 
US. It will reduce the cost to the INS while facilitating the entry of 
bona fide travelers, and enhance the image of the INS with the tourism 
industry.

Abstract: Currently INS inspects all crew members on a cruise vessel 
that arrives for the first time in a US port-of-entry, then only 
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 
attempting to address the cruise industry's growth and INS' budgetary 
and personnel constraints.

Abstract: This rule sets forth the requirements that a carrier must 
satisfy in order that the INS may reduce, refund, or waive a fine 
incurred by the carrier for the transportation of an improperly 
documented alien to the US. The rule notifies the public of the 
requirements the INS expects the carriers to implement at ports of 
embarkation to satisfy the INS that they have properly screened all 
passengers on their vessel or aircraft bound for the US. The rule also 
notifies the public of the circumstances under which the INS may 
reduce, refund, or waive fines imposed on the carrier for the boarding 
of improperly documented aliens.
Certain qualified carriers that have achieved an Acceptable Performance 
Level (APL) in the number of improperly documented aliens brought to 
the United States, as determined by the INS, and having a satisfactory 
fines payment record, will be eligible for fines mitigation, the extent 
of the mitigation being determined by the carrier's APL.

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.

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 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.

The change applies to admission occurring on or after January 1, 1991.
The Immigration and Nationality Technical Corrections Act of 1994, Pub.

jurisdiction over E treaty aliens. It will encourage trade and 
investment in the United States by citizens of countries with whom the 
United States has treaties and ensure fair and consistent adjudication

Abstract: These regulations implement provisions of the Immigration Act

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.

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.
The rule will clarify that carriers are liable for fines imposed under

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.

Abstract: Two regulatory initiatives dealing with the processing of 
alien witnesses have been prepared by the INS. INS No. 1683-94 provides 
the application and approval process for the admission of aliens in S 
nonimmigrant classification. It provides guidance to the various law 
enforcement agencies needing alien witnesses and informants to complete 
critical law enforcement initiatives in the United States. INS no. 
1728-95 establishes a fee for the processing of Form I-854, Inter-
Agency Alien Witness and Informant Record, for Law Enforcement Agency 
(LEA) requests for S Nonimmigrant classification for eligible alien 
witnesses and informants. The fee is necessary to recover the costs of 
the processing of requests for immigration benefits on Form I-854 and 
results from an analysis of the cost of these services. The fee is 
needed to comply with specific Federal immigration laws and Federal 
user fee statute and regulations.

declared policy of establishing the current Form I-551 as the exclusive 
form of registration for lawful permanent residents.

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 specialty occupation worker.

widower were not included in the classification of immediate relative 
to accompany or follow-to-join a principal alien. This rule expands the 
definition of immediate relative to include children of an alien who 
qualifies as a widow or widower.

Government effort. It will revise text in the CFR to reduce burden or

CFR Citation:  8 CFR 238

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: To encourage the payment of fines, liquidated damages, and 
user fees, this notice informs interested parties that the INS intends 
to evaluate a transportation line's fines, user fees, and liquidated 
damages payment record before entering into any agreements with the 
transportation line. INS will also evaluate existing transportation 
line agreements for possible cancellation, if it is determined that 
fines, liquidated damages, or user fees imposed against or owed by the 
transportation line are not paid to the INS in a timely manner. This 
action is necessary to ensure timely payment of a transportation line's 
fines, liquidated damages, and user fees. In both cases the INS will 
notify the affected carrier to satisfy its debts to the INS. Delinquent 
fines have made this policy necessary. The National Fines Office 
currently shows that carrier fines which have been delinquent over 30 
days amount to over $5 million dollars.

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  8 USC 1103

CFR Citation:  8 CFR 273

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The INS informs interested parties of its intention to modify 
its fines policy regarding fines imposed on carriers for the 
transportation of aliens in possession of fraudulent documentation. The 
INS intends to fine carriers which bring aliens in possession of 
fraudulent documents where the fraud is reasonably apparent. The INS 
also affirms its policy with regard to other issues which include: 
fines and Transit Without Visa (TWOV) passengers arriving with 
cancelled visas, used ``one entry'' visas, or visas issued prior to the 
addition of accompanying children. This policy was first stated in an 
INS letter to the Air Transport Association dated March 12, 1992.
Ports-of-Entry will recommend fines against those carriers that 
transport aliens to the United States who are in possession of 
reasonably apparent fraudulent documents. This will increase the amount 
of fines for certain carriers that transport these fraudulently 
documented aliens and encourage all carriers to improve their screening 
procedures of passenger documentation prior to their embarkation for 
the United States.

delinquent in their fines, liquidated damages, and user fee payments. 
According to USCS regulations (19 CFR 122) USCS District Directors may 
deny or revoke a permit/license if specific reasons exist for denial or 
revocation. A denial to land by the USCS would remain in place until 
satisfactory arrangements were made with the INS for payment of 
delinquent fines, liquidated damages, or user fees.
Carriers that are delinquent in their fines, liquidated damages, or 
user fees, may have their permits to unlade passengers in the United 
States denied or revoked by the USCS upon request by the INS.

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

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 specified conditions under which stops may be 
authorized by owners who state that they do not ordinarily operate 
their vehicles under such conditions: (1) driving a vehicle between 
1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.; and (2) driving a vehicle across a United

the promulgation of general procedures unnecessary. It is also 
unnecessary to establish, by regulation, internal Department procedures

Legal Authority:  28 USC 586(d)

CFR Citation:  28 CFR 58

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.

systems for persons who are: (1) convicted of a criminal offense 
against a victim who is a minor; (2) convicted of a sexually violent 
offense; or (3) found to be a sexually violent predator. The 
establishment of such a system by a State is a condition for

Safe Streets Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 3756). Section 170101(a)(1) directs 
the Attorney General to establish guidelines for the States to follow 
in developing conforming registration systems. These guidelines fulfill 
the Attorney General's responsibility under that section.

Abstract: This rule eliminates an unnecessary provision which sets

unnecessary.

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.
