Immigration and Naturalization Service

[INS No. 1943–98; AG Order No. 2169–98]

Requirement for Registration and

Fingerprinting of Certain

Nonimmigrants

AGENCY: Immigration and Naturalization

Service, Justice.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice consolidates and

replaces two prior notices requiring the

registration and fingerprinting of certain

nonimmigrants. The prior notices were

published in response to continuing

concern for national security resulting

from terrorist attacks and uncovered

plots directed by nationals of certain

countries. This consolidation of prior

notices allows more flexibility in the

publication of such notices and clarifies

the Attorney General’s authority to

exempt certain nationals from countries

listed in this notice when such action is

deemed to be in the interest of foreign

policy or national security.

EFFECTIVE DATES: July 21, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Walter D. Cadman, Counterterrorism

Coordinator, Office of Field Operations,

Immigration and Naturalization Service,

425 I Street, NW., Room 7125,

Washington, D.C. 20536, telephone

(202) 305–3396.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

January 16, 1991, the Department of

Justice published a Final Rule in the

Federal Register at 56 FR 1566 requiring

the registration and fingerprinting of

certain nonimmigrants bearing Iraqi and

Kuwaiti travel documents who apply for

admission to the United States. The

requirement was promulgated in

response to the United States’

condemnation of Iraq’s invasion of

Kuwait, United States’ sanctions against

Iraq, and the theft of thousands of

Kuwaiti passports during the

occupation of Kuwait by Iraq, all of

which heightened the potential for

domestic anti-United States terrorist

activities. On December 23, 1993, the

Department published an Interim Rule

in the Federal Register at 58 FR 68024

that removed the requirement for the

registration and fingerprinting of certain

nonimmigrants bearing Iraqi and

Kuwaiti travel documents and added a

new paragraph (f) to 8 CFR 264.1.

Paragraph (f) of that section provides

that the Attorney General may require,

by public notice in the Federal Register,

certain nonimmigrants of specific

countries to be registered and

fingerprinted upon arrival in the United

States, pursuant to section 263(a)(6) of

the Immigration and Nationality Act, as

amended.

Under the authority of 8 CFR 264.1(f),

the Department published a notice

entitled Requirement for the

Registration and Fingerprinting of

Certain Nonimmigrants Bearing Iranian

and Libyan Travel Documents in the

Federal Register at 61 FR 46829

(September 5, 1996) and a notice

entitled Requirement for the

Registration and Fingerprinting of

Certain Nonimmigrants Bearing Iraqi

and Sudanese Travel Documents in the

Federal Register at 58 FR 68157

(December 23, 1993). This notice

replaces and consolidates these prior

notices.

Notice of Requirement for Registration

and Fingerprinting of Certain

Nonimmigrants

Pursuant to 8 CFR 264.1(f), I hereby

order as follows: nonimmigrant aliens

from the following countries shall be

registered on Form I–94 (Arrival/

Departure Record), photographed, and

fingerprinted on Form FD–258

(Fingerprint Chart) by the Immigration

and Naturalization Service at the Port of

Entry where the aliens apply for

admission to the United States: Iran;

Libya; Iraq; and Sudan.

Nonimmigrants who apply for

admission under section 101(a)(15)(A)

or 101(a)(15)(G) of the Immigration and

Nationality Act, as amended, are exempt

from the requirements of this notice. In

addition, the Attorney General, after

consultation with the Secretary of State,

may exempt certain nonimmigrants who

are nationals of the countries listed

herein from the requirements of this

notice when such action is deemed to be

in the interest of foreign policy or

national security. Nothing in the

foregoing sentence may be construed as

creating a right to apply for or receive

such an exemption

Dated: July 17, 1998.

Janet Reno,

Attorney General.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as

opportunity to comment on proposed

and/or continuing collections of

information in accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This

program helps to ensure that requested
39110 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 139 /Tuesday, July 21, 1998 / Notices

data can be provided in the desired

format, reporting burden (time and

financial resources) is minimized,

collection instruments are clearly

understood, and the impact of collection

requirements on respondents can be

Identity. MSHA is particularly

interested in comments which:

• Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

whether the information will have

practical utility;

• Evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

• Enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

• Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the

use of appropriate automated,

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submissions

of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Title 30 CFR part 41 implements this

requirement and provides for the

mandatory use of MSHA Form 2000–7,

Legal Identity Report, for notifying

MSHA of the legal identity of the mine

operator. The legal identity for a mine

operator is fundamental to enable the

Secretary to properly ascertain the

identity of persons charged with

violations of mandatory standards. It is

also used in the assessment of civil

penalties which, by statute, must take

into account the size of the business, its

economic viability, and its history of

previous violations. Because of the

rapid and frequent turnover in mining

company ownership and statutory

considerations regarding penalty

assessment, the operator is required to

file information regarding ownership

interest in other mines held by the

operator and relevant persons in a

partnership, corporation or other

organization. This information is also

necessary to the Office of the Solicitor

in determining proper parties to actions

arising under the Act. MSHA is

including 30 CFR Sections 41.10, 41.11

and 41.12 for regulatory clarification.

These references do not change or

increase the reporting or paperwork

burden requirements.

II. Current Actions

MSHA uses the information to

properly ascertain the identity of

persons chargeable with violations of

mandatory safety and health standards

and in the assessment of civil penalties.

The Office of the Solicitor uses the

information to expedite service of

documents upon the mine operator.
