sumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for

riod; and 
‘‘(B) shall ensure that premium processing 
requestors have direct and reliable access to 
current case status information as well as the

essing units at each service center or office that 
provides premium processing services.’’.

gration benefit requests so designated.
