SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The final rule that is subject to this

correction changed several requirements

covering disposition of inedible

peanuts. In the import regulation (7 CFR

Part 999.600), the definition of Negative

aflatoxin content on page 1270,

incorrectly includes a reference to 25 or

less parts per billion (ppb) aflatoxin

content for inedible quality peanuts.

The final rule removed the 25 ppb level

from various other provisions of the

domestic and import regulations but

inadvertently left that designation in the

import regulation’s definition of the

term negative to aflatoxin. That term

only is applied to those peanut lots

determined to contain 15 or less ppb

aflatoxin content. This correction brings

the definition of the term Negative to

aflatoxin in the import regulation into

conformity with the same term used in

the two domestic peanut regulations, as

required by law.

Correction of Publication

Accordingly, final regulations

published January 9, 1997, FR Doc. 97–

283, § 999.600, paragraph (a)(10), on

page 1270, first column is corrected to

read as follows:

§ 999.600 [Corrected]

(a) * * *

(10) Negative aflatoxin content means

15 parts per billion (ppb) or less for

peanuts which have been certified as

meeting edible quality grade

requirements.

Review; List of Free Legal Services

Providers

AGENCY: Executive Office for

Immigration Review, Justice.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This final rule transfers the

responsibility for maintaining the list of

organizations providing free legal

services in immigration proceedings

from the Immigration and

Naturalization Service (INS) to the

Executive Office for Immigration

Review (EOIR), Office of the Chief

Immigration Judge, and amends the

regulations by permitting attorneys who

provide free legal services to indigent

aliens to apply to be included on the

list. The rule also amends the

regulations by transferring appellate

jurisdiction from the Associate

Commissioner for Examinations, INS, to

the Board of Immigration Appeals for

appeals from decisions on applications

to be included on the list of free legal

services providers and from decisions

on removals from such a list. Finally,

this rule will further implementation of

section 604(d)(4) of the recently enacted

Illegal Immigration Reform and

Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 by

requiring that the list of free legal

services providers maintained by the

Chief Immigration Judge include a list of

persons who have indicated their

availability to represent aliens in

asylum proceedings on a pro bono basis.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 31, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August

5, 1996, the Executive Office for

Immigration Review published a

proposed rule in the Federal Register

(61 FR 40552) amending 8 CFR parts 3

and 292a by transferring the

responsibility for maintaining the list of

entities that will provide free legal

services in immigration proceedings

from INS to EOIR, Office of the Chief

Immigration Judge. This list of

organizations and attorneys, qualified

pursuant to this rule, who can represent

aliens in immigration proceedings

before the Board of Immigration

Appeals and the Immigration Courts is

given to aliens who are parties in

immigration proceedings in an

Immigration Court. This rule amends

the present regulation by permitting

attorneys who provide free legal

services to indigent aliens to apply to be

included on the list of free legal services

providers.

In response to the above rulemaking,

EOIR received two comments. One

commenter noted that there may be

areas where Immigration Courts are
