§ 308. Working hours and premium pay for officers and em-
ployees of the Immigration and Naturalization
Service
(a) REGULATING WORKING HOURS.—The Attorney General may regulate
the working hours of officers and employees of the Immigration and Natu-
ralization Service performing work at a port to coincide with the customary
working hours at that port. This subsection does not change the length of
a working day or the rate provided in subsection (b) of this section.
(b) PREMIUM PAY RATES.—An officer or employee of the Service per-
forming work related to the inspection and landing of passengers and crew
of a vessel, aircraft, or vehicle arriving in the United States from a foreign
port is entitled to premium pay at the following rates:
(1) For overtime work, the rate is one-half day’s pay for each 2
hours (or part of a 2-hour period of at least one hour), but the total
pay for the period between the end of the individual’s regular shift and
the beginning of the individual’s next regular shift may not be more
than 2.5 days’ pay.
(2) For work on a Sunday or holiday, the rate is 2 days’ pay.

to in subsection (b) of this section, the master, owner, agent, or consignee
of the vessel, aircraft, or vehicle shall pay to the Attorney General an
amount equal to the pay to which the officer or employee is entitled under
subsection (b). The amount shall be paid if the officer or employee was or-
dered to report for work and did report, even if an inspection did not take
place. However, this paragraph does not apply to an inspection, at a des-
ignated port of entry, of passengers arriving by an international ferry,
bridge, or tunnel, or by a vessel on the Great Lakes and connecting water-
ways, an aircraft, or a vehicle, when the vessel, aircraft, or vehicle is operat-
ing on a regular schedule.
(2) The Attorney General shall deposit in the Treasury an amount paid
under this subsection. The amount shall be credited to the appropriation
‘‘Immigration and Naturalization Service—Salaries and Expenses’’. The
amount credited to the appropriation is available for payment of the over-
time, Sunday, and holiday pay.
§ 309. Providing immigration services for scheduled flights
Notwithstanding section 308(c)(1) of this title or any other law, the im-

than 45 minutes after their presentation for inspection, when needed and
at no cost to the air carrier or passengers, except for the fee specified in
section 6909(a) of this title, at—
(1) airports at which immigration services are provided; and
(2) places outside the United States at which an immigration officer
is stationed to provide immigration services.
§ 310. Reimbursement for immigration inspection services
(a) INSPECTIONS IN FOREIGN CONTIGUOUS TERRITORIES.—Section 209
of title 18 does not prohibit reimbursement for the services of an immigra-
tion officer related to inspecting aliens in a foreign contiguous territory. The
reimbursement shall be credited to the appropriation ‘‘Immigration and
Naturalization Service—Salaries and Expenses’’.
(b) REQUESTED INSPECTION SERVICES.—The Attorney General may re-
ceive reimbursement from the owner, operator, or agent of a private or com-
mercial vessel or aircraft, or from a seaport or airport authority, for ex-
penses incurred by the Attorney General in providing immigration inspec-
tion services requested by the owner, operator, agent, or authority, including
the salaries and expenses of individuals employed by the Attorney General
to provide the services. The Attorney General’s authority to receive reim-
bursement under this section ends as soon as an amount is appropriated
to provide the services.
§ 311. Travel expenses and expenses of interment
(a) TRAVEL EXPENSES.—Under regulations prescribed by the Attorney
General, an officer or employee of the Immigration and Naturalization Serv-
ice is entitled to travel expenses when the officer or employee—

ment.
§ 312. Providing services and articles at immigrant stations

Statutes (41 U.S.C. 5), the Attorney General may award an exclusive con-
tract to provide money exchange services, to transport passengers or bag-
gage, to provide food and eating facilities, or to provide similar services at
an immigrant station only to the lowest responsible and capable bidder (ex-
cept an alien). The Attorney General may charge a reasonable rental for
the use of United States Government property in providing the services.
However, the Attorney General may provide a necessary service at an immi-
grant station if the Attorney General finds that it would be more economical
and efficient.
(b) SALE OF NECESSARY ARTICLES BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.—If
aliens detained at an immigrant station cannot readily obtain articles that
the Attorney General decides are necessary to their health and welfare, the

gration and Naturalization Service, for a photographic studio operated by

seeking to comply with the immigration and nationality laws. The Attorney
General shall supervise a studio operated under this section.

burse the Immigration and Naturalization Service for expenses paid by the

for the fiscal year in which the expenses were incurred.

pended from the appropriation ‘‘Immigration and Naturalization Service—
Salaries and Expenses’’ to buy evidence and later recovered shall be credited
to that appropriation for the fiscal year in which the recovery is made.

Notwithstanding section 3302 of title 31, the amounts collected from the
increase in penalties resulting from the amendments made by sections
203(b), 543(a), and 544 of the Immigration Act of 1990 (Public Law 101–
649, 104 Stat. 5018, 5057, 5059) shall be credited to the appropriation—

§ 315. Interest on immigration bonds
(a) EARNING OF INTEREST.—The Attorney General shall deposit in the
Treasury cash received as security on an immigration bond, with the cash
to be held in trust for the obligor on the bond. The cash shall earn interest
at a rate the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes, but the rate may not
be more than 3 percent a year. Interest shall accrue from the date of de-
posit through the date of withdrawal or the date of breach of the bond,
whichever is earlier. However, cash received as security on an immigration
bond and deposited by the Attorney General in the postal savings system
discontinued on April 27, 1966, shall earn interest under this subsection
from the date the cash stopped earning interest under the system. Appro-
priations to the Department of the Treasury for interest on uninvested
amounts are available for payment of the interest.
(b) DISPOSITION OF INTEREST.—Interest earned under this section shall
be disposed of in the same way as the principal, except that interest earned
before the date of a breach shall be paid to the obligor on the bond.
