SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority

In accordance with the provisions of

the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5

U.S.C. app. 2 (1972), and 41 CFR 101–

6.1001–6.1035 (1992), the DACOIM is

established with the concurrence of the

Commissioner, Immigration and

Naturalization Service, and the Attorney

General.

Background

The establishment of the DACOIM is

in response to an increase in the overall

immigrant population of all fourteen

counties in the New York District. The

mass settlement of new immigrants

seeking Service benefits is immersed

into an existing atmosphere of

misconceptions and mistrust, which has

caused an increase in tension between

the immigrant and non-immigrant

communities. Establishment of this

advisory council is intended to

eliminate any misconceptions and

mistrust while trying to build and

maintain a good relationship with all

members of the community. The

DACOIM will also serve to enhance

public confidence in immigration policy

and procedures and demonstrate the

Service’s commitment to strengthen the

New York District’s response time to

immigration matters and enhance

communications with all sources.

Purpose

The DACOIM is authorized by the

Attorney General to (1) assess New York

District policies and procedures that

impact customer service, (2) analyze

and recommend improvements as

needed, (3) serve as a community base

for anchoring outreach activities and

education, and (4) establish mechanisms

to assess tension and control rumors.

Membership

The DACOIM will be composed of

fifteen voting members who will be

appointed by the District Director. Six of

these members shall be representatives

from the Department of Justice,

Immigration and Naturalization Service,

New York District. The remaining nine

members shall be private citizens

representing organizations who reflect

balanced perspectives and interests

regarding immigration and

naturalization matters and community

relations. In addition, the DACOIM will

be comprised of two non-voting

members, as follows: a Consular or

Embassy official, representing the

Society of Foreign Consuls, who will

serve in a permanent advisory capacity

to the DACOIM, and a representative

designated by the Commissioner,

Immigration and Naturalization Service.

This composition will attain a balanced

membership.

The DACOIM will function solely as

an advisory body in compliance with

the provision of the Federal Advisory

Committee Act. Its charter has been

filed and approved, in accordance with

the provisions of the Act.

Dated: September 4, 1997.

Commissioner, Immigration and

Naturalization Service.
