SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In an

interim rule published in the Federal

Register on September 5, 2000 (65 FR

53528–53531, Docket No. 00–036–1), we

stated that we were amending the citrus

canker regulations by adding portions of

Hendry, Hillsborough, and Palm Beach

Counties, FL, to the list of quarantined

areas and by expanding the boundaries

of the quarantined areas in Broward,

Collier, Dade, and Manatee Counties,

FL, due to recent detections of citrus

canker in these areas.

Although Palm Beach County was

listed, our description of quarantined

Palm Beach County. Palm Beach County

should not have been listed. We are

correcting this error in this document.

Fingerprinting Certain Applicants for a

Replacement Permanent Resident

Card (Form I–551)

AGENCY: Immigration and Naturalization

Service, Justice.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This rule amends the

Immigration and Naturalization Service

(Service) regulations clarifying which

applicants for a replacement Permanent

Resident Card (Form I–551) are required

to be fingerprinted. This change is

necessary to correct an inadvertent error

in the regulations, which currently

requires all applicants for a replacement

Permanent Resident Card to be

fingerprinted.

DATES: This final rule is effective

September 26, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Pamela T. Wallace, Adjudications

Officer, Immigration Services Division,

Office of Field Operations, Immigration

and Naturalization Service, 801 I Street,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Why Is the Service Changing the

Fingerprinting Requirements for a

Replacement Permanent Resident Card

(Formally Alien Registration Receipt

Card)?

On March 17, 1998, the Service

published on interim rule in the Federal

Register at 63 FR 12979 implementing

a new program to fingerprint applicants

and petitioners for immigration benefits.

The new program changed procedures

for fingerprinting applicants and

petitioners for all immigration benefits,

including applicants for a replacement

Alien Registration Receipt Card (name

was changed to Permanent Resident

Card effective January 20, 1999, 63 FR

70313). The interim rule removed the

requirement for applicants and

petitioners to file applications and

petitions with a completed Fingerprint

Card (Form FD–258). Instead, under the

interim rule, the Service would notify

57724 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 187 / Tuesday, September 26, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

applicants and petitioners after they

filed their applications or petitions to

appear at an Application Support Center

or other Service-designated location,

including State or local law enforcement

agencies, to be fingerprinted.

Before publication of the interim rule,

the regulations required an applicant for

a replacement Alien Registration

Receipt Card (currently Permanent

Resident Card) to be fingerprinted:

• Only if he or she was applying for

a replacement Alien Registration

Receipt Card because he or she had

reached the age of 14 years, unless

• The existing Alien Registration

Receipt Card would expire before his or

her 16th birthday.

The interim rule inadvertently

changed the regulations to require all

applicants for a replacement of, or

renewal of, an Alien Registration

Receipt Card (currently Permanent

Resident Card) to be fingerprinted.

What Does This Final Rule Do?

This final rule amends the Service’s

regulations to correct the inadvertent

error made in the interim rule. The

Service will fingerprint an applicant

filing Form I–90 for replacement of, or

renewal of, a Permanent Resident Card

only if:

• He or she is applying for a

replacement Permanent Resident Card

because he or she has reached the age

of 14 years.

Accordingly, § 264.5(e)(3)(i) will be

amended to clarify that except for those

applications filed pursuant to

§ 264.5(b)(8), applicants for a

replacement Permanent Resident Card

are not required to be fingerprinted on

Form FD–258, unless otherwise

instructed by the Attorney General.

Will the Service Finalize the March 17,

1998, Interim Rule?

Yes, the Service will finalize the

interim rule later this fiscal year and

address all comments at that time.

Good Cause Exception

The Service’s implementation of this

rule as a final rule is based on the ‘‘good

cause’’ exceptions found at 5 U.S.C.

553(b)(B) and (d)(3). The reason and

necessity for immediate implementation

of this final rule without prior notice

and comment are as follows:

Alien Registration Receipt Cards

(currently Permanent Resident Cards),

that were issued with 10-year expiration

dates, are beginning to expire and must

be renewed. Under the current

regulations all permanent residents who

have a Permanent Resident Card that is

expiring must be fingerprinted after they

file a Form I–90, Application to Replace

Permanent Resident Card.

This final rule is needed to correct an

inadvertent error in the regulations so

that the Service only requires certain

applicants for a replacement Permanent

Resident Card to be fingerprinted.

Accordingly, delaying

implementation of this final rule would:

• Require all applicants to be

fingerprinted unnecessarily,

• Delay the filing and adjudication of

these applications, and

• Would be contrary to the public

interest.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Commissioner of the Immigration

and Naturalization Service, in

accordance with the Regulatory

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), has

reviewed this regulation and, by

approving it, certifies that this rule will

not have a significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small

entities. This rule affects individual

applicants for a replacement Permanent

Resident Card. It does not affect small

entities as that term is defined in 5

U.S.C. 601(b).

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

This rule will not result in the

expenditure by State, local, and tribal

governments in the aggregate, or by the

private sector, of $100 million or more

in any 1 year, and it will not

significantly or uniquely affect small

governments. Therefore, no actions were

deemed necessary under the provisions

of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

of 1995.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996

This rule is not a major rule as

defined by section 804 of the Small

Business Regulatory Enforcement Act of

1996. This rule will not result in an

annual effect on the economy of $100

million or more; a major increase in

costs or prices; or significant adverse

effects on competition, employment,

investment, productivity, innovation, or

on the ability of United States-based

companies to compete with foreignbased companies in domestic and

export markets.

Executive Order 12866

This rule is considered by the

Department of Justice, Immigration and

Naturalization Service, to be a

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under

Executive Order 12866, section 3(f),

Regulatory Planning and Review.

Accordingly, this regulation has been

submitted to the Office of Management

and Budget for review.

Executive Order 13132

This rule adopted herein will not

have substantial direct effects on the

States, on the relationship between the

National Government and the States, or

on the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government. Therefore, in

accordance with section 6 of Executive

Order 13132, it is determined that this

rule does not have sufficient federalism

implications to warrant the preparation

of a federalism summary impact

statement.

Executive Order 12988 Civil Justice

Reform

This rule meets the applicable

standards set forth in sections 3(a) and

3(b)(2) of E.O. 12988.

List of Subjects in 8 CFR Part 264

Aliens, Immigration, Reporting and

recordkeeping requirements.

Accordingly, part 264 of chapter I of

title 8 of the Code of Federal

Regulations is amended as follows:

PART 264—REGISTRATION AND

FINGERPRINTING OF ALIENS IN THE

UNITED STATES

1. The authority citation for part 264

continues to read:

Authority: 8 U.S.C. 1103, 1201, 1201a,

1301–1305.

§ 264.5 [Amended]

2. In § 264.5, paragraph (e)(3)(i) is

amended by adding the phrase ‘‘filing

under paragraph (b)(8) of this section’’

immediately after the word ‘‘applicant’’

and before the word ‘‘shall’’.

Dated: February 9, 2000.
