freedom by relocating to another part of

the proposed country of removal.

(ii) In cases where the applicant has

established past persecution before an

immigration judge, the Service shall

bear the burden of establishing the

requirements of paragraphs (b)(1)(i)(A)

or (B) of this section.

(2) Future threat to life or freedom. An

applicant who has not suffered past

persecution may demonstrate that his or

her life or freedom would be threatened

in the future in a country if he or she

can establish that it is more likely than

not that he or she would be persecuted

on account of race, religion, nationality,

membership in a particular social group,

or political opinion upon removal to

that country. Such an applicant cannot

demonstrate that his or her life or

freedom would be threatened if the

asylum officer or immigration judge

finds that the applicant could

reasonably avoid a future threat to his

or her life or freedom by relocating to

another part of the proposed country of

removal. In evaluating whether it is

more likely than not that the applicant’s

life or freedom would be threatened in

a particular country on account of race,

religion, nationality, membership in a

particular social group, or political

opinion, the asylum officer or

immigration judge shall not require the

applicant to provide evidence that he or

she would be singled out individually

for persecution if:

(i) The applicant establishes that in

that country there is a pattern or

practice of persecution of a group of

persons similarly situated to the

applicant on account of race, religion,

nationality, membership in a particular

social group, or political opinion; and

(ii) The applicant establishes his or

her own inclusion in and identification

with such group of persons such that it

is more likely than not that his or her

life or freedom would be threatened

upon return to that country.

(3) Reasonableness of internal

relocation. For purposes of

determinations under paragraphs (b)(1)

and (b)(2) of this section, it would not

be reasonable to expect an applicant to

relocate within a country to avoid

persecution if the asylum officer or

immigration judge finds that there is a

reasonable possibility that the applicant

would face other serious harm in the

place of potential relocation. In cases

where the persecutor is a national

government, it shall be presumed that

internal relocation would not be

reasonable, unless the Service

establishes that it would be reasonable

for the applicant to relocate. In cases

where the applicant has established past

persecution before an immigration

judge, the Service shall bear the burden

of establishing that it would be

reasonable for the applicant to relocate.

In cases where the applicant has not

established past persecution, the

applicant shall bear the burden of

establishing that it would not be

reasonable for him or her to relocate.

Proposed Technical Changes;

Standard for the Flammability of

Children’s Sleepwear: Sizes 7 Through

14; Correction

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety

Commission.

ACTION: Proposed technical changes;

correction.

SUMMARY: This document corrects a

table in a proposed rule published in

the Federal Register of May 21, 1998,

regarding technical changes to the

flammability standard for children’s

sleepwear. The table showing the

distance from the shoulder for upper

arm measurement for sizes 7 through 14

inadvertently omitted some fractions.

This correction provides the complete

and correct table. Due to the minor

nature of this correction the

Commission does not intend to extend

the comment period for the proposed

rule. However, if a commenter believes

that additional time is necessary to

comment due to the error, he/she may

request an extension.
