# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

## Nonimmigrant Aliens Subject To Special Registration Requirements 

                    On August 12, 2002, the Attorney General published a final rule in the                     **Federal Register**                     at 67 FR 52584 to revise the special registration requirements for nonimmigrant aliens whose presence in the United States requires closer monitoring. The final rule requires that when a nonimmigrant alien subject to special registration departs from the United States, that immigrant must report to an Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) inspecting officer at any port-of-entry (POE), unless INS has, by publication in the                     **Federal Register**                    , specified that POE as a port from which nonimmigrant aliens subject to special registration may not depart. This rule became effective on October 1, 2002.                 

                    On September 30, 2002, the INS published a notice in the                     **Federal Register**                     at 67 FR 61352 listing POEs through which nonimmigrant aliens who have been specially registered may depart from the United States. The notice set forth an affirmative list of POEs that could be used by specially registered nonimmigrant aliens rather than specifying ports that could not be used.                           ( print page 45062)    

                    On February 19, 2003, the INS published a notice in the                     **Federal Register**                     at 68 FR 8047 expanding the list of POEs through which nonimmigrant aliens who have been specially registered may depart from the United States. On February 26, 2003, that notice was corrected by a publication in the                     **Federal Register**                     at 68 FR 8967.                 

As a result of the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) now has jurisdiction over the inspections functions of the former INS. 

This notice lists all of the POEs that may be used for departure by special registrants. It expands the previously published list by adding seventeen (17) newly designated POEs; this notice also, however, removes one (1) POE from the previous list.

## Notice of Where To Report for Final Registration and Departure 

The regulations governing the manner in which aliens are registered in the United States are contained in 8 CFR 264.1. Upon registration, whether registered at a POE upon admission to the United States or subsequent to admission, each nonimmigrant alien subject to special registration will be issued an information packet that will list each POE authorized for departure and other instructions on how to comply with 8 CFR 264.1. This packet will also contain specific information regarding hours of operation, directions and contact numbers. 

                    Due to the limited availability of current resources, specifically departure staff and facilities, CBP must limit the POEs authorized for departure registration to effectively capture departure data. As more POEs become available to examine special registrants upon departure, CBP will designate additional POEs by notice in the                     **Federal Register**                     and make the list available on the following Web site:                     *http://www.ice.gov/​graphics/​specialregistration/​WalkawayMaterial.pdf.*
