DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 5601] 

Notice of Effective Date for 

Implementation of Five-Year Professor 

and Research Scholar Exchange 

Program 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: By final rule adopted May 19, 

2005, 70 FR 28815, the Department of 

State amended its regulations and 

extended the permitted program 

duration from three to five years for 

professor and researcher participants in 

the Exchange Visitor Program. This rule 

also established clear eligibility 

requirements for repeat participation as 

a professor or researcher in the 

Exchange Visitor Program following a 

two-year bar. Implementation of these 

changes was delayed until the 

Department of Homeland Security could 

complete modifications to the Student 

and Exchange Visitor Information 

System (SEVIS) necessary to permit 

these changes to be reflected in SEVIS. 

By SEVIS broadcast on October 6th, 

2006, The Department of Homeland 

Security announced its ability to 

facilitate these changes effective 

November 4, 2006. 

Accordingly, as of November 4, 2006, 

current and future professor and 

researcher program participants will be 

eligible for five years of program 

participation as provided for in the final 

rule. These participants will also be 

subject to the eligibility requirements 

for repeat participation set forth in the 

final rule. Requirements governing 

initial eligibility for participation as a 

professor or researcher are unchanged. 

The final rule published May 19, 2005 

also established a new ‘‘G–7’’

administrative classification for certain 

program sponsors. The Department will 

contact directly those sponsors eligible 

for the classification. No action, inquiry, 

or request regarding this classification is 

necessary on the part of existing 

sponsors. This certification will be 

published in the Federal Register. 

Dated: October 25, 2006.

Director, Office of Exchange Coordination 

and Designation, Department of State.
