Important Announcement for Class

Members of American Baptist

Churches v. Thornburgh (ABC)

Regarding Changes of Address and

Temporary Closure of the ABC Post

Office Box

AGENCY: Immigration and Naturalization

Service, Justice.

ACTION: Notice Regarding Changes of

Address and Temporary Closure of ABC

Post Office Box.

SUMMARY: This Notice informs ABC

class members who previously

submitted a Change of Address Form (I–

855) to the ABC Post Office Box in

Washington, DC, between the period

July 1, 1996, through December 6, 1996,

that they will need to resubmit these

forms to the address listed in this

notice. This action is necessary since

the ABC Post Office Box was

temporarily closed, and mail received

between the period August 14, 1996,

through December 6, 1996, was either

returned to the sender by the Post Office

or was never properly received by the

Immigration and Naturalization Service

(‘‘the Service’’). This notice also

reminds ABC class members of the need

to notify the Service of any change in

address and explains how to obtain

change of address forms and other

information about ABC.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 18, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Joanna Ruppel, Asylum Officer, Asylum

Division, Office of International Affairs,

Immigration and Naturalization Service,

425 I Street, NW., Washington, DC,

20536, Attn: ULLICO, Third Floor;

Telephone number (202) 305–2741.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Any ABC

class member who previously sent a

Change of Address Form (Form I–855)

to the ABC Post Office Box between July

1, 1996, through December 6, 1996,

must resubmit that change of address

form immediately to the following

address: ABC Project, Immigration and

Naturalization Service, P.O. Box 96821,

Washington, DC 20090.

The ABC Post Office Box was

mistakenly closed, and mail received at

the ABC Post Office Box between

August 14, 1996, and December 6, 1996,

was returned to sender or otherwise not

properly received by the Immigration

and Naturalization Service. The Service

regrets any inconvenience this error has

caused class members.

All ABC class members are reminded

that they must notify the Service at the

ABC Post Office Box within 10 days of

any change of address. An ABC class

member may lose the right to an ABC

asylum interview and may have his or

her asylum request denied if he or she

fails to appear for an interview because

the Service did not receive written

notification of the address change. The

Service encourages any class member

who is unsure whether the Service has

the most recent address to resend his or

her address to the ABC Post Office Box

listed in this notice.

Other than by request, the Service

will begin ABC interviews no sooner

than April 7, 1997, and interview

notices will not be issued until 60 days

from the date of this notice. Any ABC

class member may request an expedited

ABC interview by sending a written

request to the Asylum Office that has

jurisdiction over the applicant’s place of

residence.

An ABC class member may call 1–

800–755–0777 to obtain information

and to order ABC change of address

forms and a list of legal service

organizations provided by attorneys

representing the ABC class. The legal

service organizations on the list may be

able to help class members who have

questions or need advice.

Note: The attached ABC Change of Address

Form, Form I–855, will not appear in the

Code of Federal Regulations.

Dated: January 7, 1997.

Commissioner, Immigration and

Naturalization Service.

Request For Volunteers To Participate

in a Foreign Student/Exchange Visitor

Program Pilot

AGENCY: Immigration and Naturalization

Service, Justice.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Immigration and

Naturalization Service (INS), consistent

with its statutory authority to regulate

foreign students and exchange visitors

under sections 101(a)(15)(F), (J) and (M)

of the Immigration and Nationality Act

as amended (the Act), and in

consultation with the United States

Information Agency (USIA), the

Department of State (DOS), and the

Department of Education (DoE), is

initiating a pilot program (hereinafter

referred to as ‘‘the pilot’’) for the 1997/

1998 academic year, commencing with

the 1997 fall semester, to redesign and

improve the collection and reporting of

information regarding foreign students

and exchange visitors as required under

Subtitle D, section 641, of the Illegal

Immigration Reform and Immigrant

Responsibility Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–

208). The INS and USIA are seeking out

schools and exchange visitor programs

located in Alabama, Georgia, North

Carolina, and South Carolina willing to

volunteer as participants in the

operation of the pilot. The states of

Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and

North Carolina have been identified

based on their location within the

eastern time zone; their being subject to

uniform jurisdiction under the Atlanta

District Office, which also has

immigration jurisdiction for the Port-ofEntry at Hartsfield International airport;

and Atlanta’s accessibility to INS

headquarters project managers and

contractors via daily direct non-stop air

flights to and from the Washington, DC.,

area. The types of schools and exchange

visitor programs solicited include

universities, colleges, vocational

training schools, flight schools, and post

secondary English as Second Language

schools. Since the INS is limiting pilot

participation to approximately 20

schools and/or exchange visitor

programs, it is possible that not all

eligible applicants will be selected. The

INS will conduct an on-site visit prior

to selecting pilot participants.

DATES: Requests to participate in the

pilot must be submitted in writing on or

before February 26, 1997. The limited

period for submission of requests to

participate in the pilot is necessitated by

the statutory requirement that INS

establish a national foreign student and

exchange visitor information collection

program by January 1, 1998. The INS

will notify all schools, institutions, and

exchange visitor programs of the status

of their request on or before March 31,

1997.
