DEPARTMENT OF STATE
22 CFR Part 41
[Public Notice: 5646]
Visas: Documentation of
Nonimmigrants Under the Immigration
and Nationality Act, as Amended
State Department.
Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: This final rule amends
guidance to consular offices for the
waiver of personal appearance of
applicants for nonimmigrant visas
contained at 22 CFR 41.102, to conform
to the requirements of Section 222(h) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act, as
added by section 5301 of the
Intelligence Reform and Terrorism
Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA). The
final rule replaces the interim rule
published in the Federal Register on
July 7, 2003 and reflects legislation
enacted subsequent to that rule.
DATES: This rule is effective on
December 18, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Charles Robertson, Legislation and
Regulations Division, Visa Services,
Department of State, Washington, DC
20520–0106, (202) 663–1221, e-mail
(robertsonce3@state.gov).
Why is the Department promulgating
this rule?
Section 5301 of the Intelligence
Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of
2004 (IRTPA) added a new Section
222(h) to the Immigration and
Nationality Act (INA). Section 222(h)
Frm 00014
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Are there any exceptions to these new
requirements?
Section 5301 of IRTPA provides for
some exceptions from the new interview
requirements. In addition, as the
President noted in the signing statement
for IRTPA, the interview requirement is
viewed ‘‘as advisory’’ with respect to
foreign diplomats or foreign officials,
because it otherwise would
impermissibly burden the President’s
constitutional authority to conduct
foreign relations. Therefore, the
regulations continue to permit
exemptions from the interview
requirements of persons in A–1, A–2, C–
2, C–3, G–1, G–2, G–3 G–4, NATO–1,
NATO–2, NATO–3, NATO–4, NATO–5,
or NATO 6 classifications, and
applicants for diplomatic or officials
visas as described in 22 CFR 41.26 and
41.27.
Regulatory Findings
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
sets out detailed statutory requirements
for personal interviews of nonimmigrant visa applicants in the INA for
the first time. Previously, INA Section
222(e) left the question of personal
appearance of nonimmigrant visa
applicants to be defined by regulation.
The Department’s interim rule
published on July 7, 2003 (68 FR 40168)
defined the requirements for personal
appearance. This final rule replaces the
previous interim rule to reflect the
requirements of IRTPA and the new INA
Section 222(h). Most of new Section
222(h) can be implemented through the
Department’s existing personal
appearance regulations and current
requirements for fingerprint collection,
but a few changes in the regulations are
needed to conform fully to the new
interview requirements. The most
significant change is that a consular
officer must now interview persons in
the same age ranges as persons covered
by the biometric collection requirement.
In addition to the existing list of
situations in which an interview may
not be waived, the personal interview
requirement may not be waived for NIV
applicants from third countries and
applicants who have been previously
refused visas or found ineligible for
visas, where that ineligibility was not
overcome.
Administrative Procedure Act
This regulation involves a foreign
affairs function of the United States and,
therefore, in accordance with 5 U.S.C.
553 (a)(1), is not subject to the rule
making procedures set forth at 5 U.S.C.
553.
