Legal Deadline: None

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.

1983. AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES FOR 
BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES; CHILDREN'S FACILITIES

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  42 USC 12186; 5 USC 301; 28 USC 509; PL 101-336; 28 
USC 510

CFR Citation:  28 CFR 36

Legal Deadline: None

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 Standards for Accessible Design 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.

In the proposed rule regarding the implementation of the Domestic

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the proposed regulations were subsequently withdrawn for reassessment 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.

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.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Consistent with the White House National Performance Review 
initiative, DEA has conducted a review of Title 21, Code of Federal 
Regulations, Parts 1300 to End. In the course of this review, DEA has 
identified a number of areas in the regulations where steps can be 
taken to eliminate outdated requirements, consolidate related sections, 
and otherwise streamline the regulations. This action should reduce the 
regulations and provide a more consistent and easily understood 
framework of guidelines for industry to follow in complying with the 
requirements of the Controlled Substances Act.

Legal Authority:  8 USC 1103; 8 USC 1252b; 8 USC 1362

CFR Citation:  8 CFR 292

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This interim rule with request for comments amends 8 CFR part 
292 by revising two of the current restrictions on law students and law 
graduates who wish to appear before the Immigration and Naturalization 
Service (INS) and the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), 
including the Board of Immigration Appeals and the Immigration Courts. 
Currently, section 292.1(a)(2) requires that a law student who wishes 
to appear before INS and/or EOIR file a statement that he or she is 
participating, under the direct

supervision of a faculty member or an attorney, in a legal aid program 
or clinic conducted by a law school. This interim rule amends this 
provision to also allow a law student to appear before INS and/or EOIR 
if he or she is under the direct supervision of an attorney in a legal 
aid program or clinic conducted by a nonprofit organization. This 
amendment merely permits law students, like law graduates, to appear 
while participating in an independent legal aid program.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This regulation provides changes to the grounds of exclusion 
applicable to those seeking admission to the US either on a temporary 
or permanent basis, and sets forth the circumstances under which 
discretionary waivers of excludability are available. The amendments 
reflect statutory changes made by section 601 of the Immigration Act of 
1990 (IMMACT), as well as subsequent technical amendments to the 
statute including NIH Revitalization Act, 1994. Technical Corrections 
Act, and the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996. 
The rule is necessary to ensure implementation of, and regulatory 
compliance with, the statute as enacted by Congress.

adjustment of status of aliens who, though granted asylum, are 
determined to be inadmissible aliens pursuant to the provisions set 
forth in IMMACT.

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: 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 recovers the costs of the processing 
of requests for immigration benefits, and is needed to comply with 
specific Federal immigration laws and Federal user fee statute and 
regulations.

Abstract: This rule proposes to amend the Immigration and 
Naturalization Service (``the Service'') regulations by establishing a 
procedure whereby bona fide alien crewmen actively serving on board a 
maritime ferry or a maritime commercial cruise ship may, at the 
discretion of the Service, be inspected one time during every ninety-
day period during which the cruise ship conducts operations between 
Ports-Of-Entry (POEs) in the United States and a foreign country. This 
rule is necessary in order for the Service to formally codify the long-
standing practice of authorizing certain maritime crewmen landing 
privileges in the United States without further inspection during the 
intervening time between 90-day full-crew inspections.

Legal Authority:  8 USC 1101; 8 USC 1103; 8 USC 1324a; 8 CFR 2

CFR Citation:  8 CFR 274a

Abstract: The Service is considering further changes to streamline the 
verification and enforcement process requirements related to the 
Employer Sanctions provisions of the Immigration Control and Reform 
Act.
INS No. 1738 will allow INS to issue and serve a notice of intent to 
fine upon an alleged violator after the INS has determined that a 
person or entity has violated section 274a of the Act. This rule will 
also allow interested parties to electronically generate blank copies 
of the Employment Eligibility Verification Form, (Form I-9).
INS No. 1737 will allow the INS to discontinue its practice of 
providing any person or entity required to retain Forms I-9 with at 
least 3 days notice prior to an inspection of the Forms I-9. This 
practice is not mandated by law, and the INS believes that it may have 
impeded investigations by giving employers the opportunity to make 
changes or corrections to forms or to fraudulently create or destroy 
Forms I-9.

Abstract: This rule will delete part 231, section 1(b) from title 8 of

present an Arrival/Departure Manifest as required under Section 231 of 
the Immigration and Naturalization Act. This will necessitate the 
carrier to present an Arrival/Departure Record, Form I-94T, for each 
in-transit passenger coming to the United States. Under the current 
regulations, carriers are exempt presentation if the in-transit 
passenger arrives and departs on the same aircraft on a direct through 
flight. The rule will eliminate this exemption. The change is necessary 
so that the Service can identify and intercept those passengers who are 
listed in federal lookout systems as being ineligible for admission to 
the United States or wanted for past criminal action by a law 
enforcement agency.

sufficient revenue is generated through the various Immigration 
examinations Fee Account fees to fund the Cuban-Haitian Entrant 
Program.
INS No. 1768 proposes to adjust the Immigration Examinations Fee 
account to reflect the cost of providing immigration and naturalization 
services, plus surcharges for the Asylum Program, as directed by 
Congress. The fee adjustment is necessary to comply with Federal 
statutes and Federal cost accounting standards. Implementation of this 
rule will ensure that sufficient funds are available for immigration 
and naturalization services, the Asylum Program, and to improve the 
quality of services provided to users.

CFR Citation:  8 CFR 103

Legal Deadline:  NPRM, Statutory, September 1, 1996.

Abstract: Section 401(a) of the Personal Responsibility and Work 
Reconciliation Act of 1996 provides that, with limited exceptions, only 
qualified aliens, as defined under section 431, may receive certain 
Federal public benefits. Section 401(b)(2) provides an exception which 
allows aliens who are ``lawfully present in the United States'' as 
determined by the Attorney General to receive Social Security benefits 
under title II of the Social Security Act.
This interim rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service 
(Service) regulations to define the term ``an alien who is lawfully 
present in the United States'' so that the Social Security 
Administration may determine which aliens are eligible for benefits 
under title II of the Social Security Act. Aliens who are considered 
``lawfully present in the United States,'' however, must otherwise 
satisfy the requirements for benefits under title II of the Social 
Security Act.

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. Both the Service and the Department 
of State will use the same form for processing requests for E 
classification. 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 and enforcement by 
Service field offices throughout the United States and in the reviewing 
courts.

CFR Citation:  8 CFR 214

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This regulation implements provisions of the Immigration Act 
of 1990 (IMMACT), Pub. L. 101-649, relating to temporary alien workers 
seeking nonimmigrant classification and admission to the US under 
sections 101(a)(15)(H),(O), and (P) of the Immigration and Nationality 
Act (Act).

[[Page 62725]]

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.

CFR Citation:  8 CFR 214

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule amended existing regulations concerning admission 
of certain nurses seeking nonimmigrant classification under the H-1A 
category. This rule is necessary due to a change in the method that the 
National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCLEX) uses to administer 
the permanent state licensure examination. 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.
(This class no longer exists and a final rule will be published to 
remove applicable reference).

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.

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.

Legal Deadline: None

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.

[[Page 62730]]

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.

adopted by U.S. citizens abroad. It allows certain U.S. parents who do 
not meet physical presence requirements to use the physical presence of 
their U.S. parent (the child's U.S. grandparent). The purpose of the 
rule is to relax the requirements of U.S. citizenship for children born 
to or adopted by U.S. citizens abroad.
INS No. 1764 reserves the authority to schedule all administrative 
oath-taking ceremonies with the District Director. The rule will not 
impact the Immigration Judges' authority to administer the oath at

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: In response to the President's direction to each agency to 
undertake a review of its regulations for the purpose of reducing the 
regulations or, when possible, rendering them more readable and 
comprehensible, the Immigration and Naturalization Service is engaging 
in a thorough line-by-line review of all regulations in Title 8 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations (8 CFR). As a result, the Service is 
amending its regulations consistent with the President's directive by 
publishing a series of separate rulemakings in the Federal Register. 
Over the course of the next two fiscal years, these rulemakings will 
address all parts of 8 CFR by updating obsolete references;by 
eliminating portions dealing with terminated programs;by removing 
language relating to purely procedural matters involving only internal 
Service processes; by elimination of references which unnecessarily 
duplicate language contained in the statute or in other portions of the 
regulations; and by streamlining awkward and confusing language.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Attorney General is required to establish a National 
Stolen Passenger Motor Vehicle Information System pursuant to the Anti 
Car Theft Act of 1992 (49 USC 33109 to 33111). The FBI is coordinated 
efforts in this matter and, under delegated authority from the Attorney 
General, the FBI is issuing this rule to establish a national system to 
verify the theft status of major motor vehicle component parts. The 
system will include certain information about each passenger motor 
vehicle reported to a law enforcement agency as stolen and not 
recovered. The rule provides how an individual or entity may obtain 
information from the system on whether a vehicle or part is listed as 
stolen. The rule also provides verification procedures to be followed

mind, and unusual swiftness of action regardless of his or her own 
personal safety, and who was eighteen years of age or younger at the
