Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  8 USC 1288(d)

CFR Citation:  22 CFR 89 (Revision)

Legal Deadline:  Final, Statutory, December 31, 1998.
Legal deadline reflects the statutory requirement that the list be

Abstract: The above-mentioned statute requires the Secretary of State 
to compile, and update annually through Notice-and-Comment rulemaking 
procedures, a list, by particular longshore activity, of countries 
where performance of such activity is prohibited by law, regulation, or 
in practice in the country concerned. According to the statute cited 
above, the Attorney General will use this list for enforcing 
restrictions on work performed by crewmembers of vessels from such 
countries. Compilation of the list itself does not involve any 
significant costs and is based upon information being provided to the 
Department of State by U.S. diplomatic missions overseas as well as by 
the public. Questions regarding the policy justification for the list 
and its use are best directed to the Departments of Labor, 
Transportation, and Justice.
