Authority: 8 U.S.C. 1182(d)(3)(B)(i).
Following consultations with the
Secretary of State and the Attorney
General, I hereby conclude, as a matter
of discretion in accordance with the
authority granted to me by section
212(d)(3)(B)(i) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C.
1182(d)(3)(B)(i), as amended, as well as
the foreign policy and national security
interests deemed relevant in these
consultations, that subsections
212(a)(3)(B)(iv)(IV) and

of funds or other things of value for a
terrorist organization described in
subsection 212(a)(3)(B)(vi), 8 U.S.C.
1182(a)(3)(B)(vi), under duress, or for
solicitation of any individual for
membership in a terrorist organization
described in subsection 212(a)(3)(B)(vi),
8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(3)(B)(vi), under duress,
provided that the alien satisfies the
relevant agency authority that the alien:
(a) Is seeking a benefit or protection
under the INA and has been determined
to be otherwise eligible for the benefit
or protection;
(b) Has undergone and passed all
relevant background and security
checks;
(c) Has fully disclosed, to the best of
his or her knowledge, in all relevant

applications and interviews with U.S.
government representatives and agents,
the nature and circumstances of each
instance of solicitation and any other
activity or association falling within the
scope of section 212(a)(3)(B) of the INA,
8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(3)(B);
(d) Poses no danger to the safety and
security of the United States; and
(e) Warrants an exemption from the
relevant inadmissibility provision in the
totality of the circumstances.
Implementation of this determination
will be made by U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS), in
consultation with U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE), or by U.S.
consular officers, as applicable, who
shall ascertain, to their satisfaction, and
in their discretion, that the particular
applicant meets each of the criteria set
forth above.
When determining whether the
solicitation was provided under duress,
the following factors, among others, may
be considered: Whether the applicant
reasonably could have avoided, or took
steps to avoid, soliciting; the severity
and type of harm inflicted or threatened
and to whom the harm was directed;
and the perceived imminence of the
harm threatened and the perceived
likelihood that the harm would be
inflicted.
When considering the totality of the
circumstances, factors to be considered,
in addition to the duress-related factors
stated above, may include, among
others: The amount, type, and frequency
of solicitation provided; the nature of
the activities committed by the terrorist
organization; the alien’s awareness of
those activities; the length of time since
the solicitation was provided; the alien’s
conduct since that time; and any other
relevant factor.
This exercise of authority may be
revoked as a matter of discretion and
without notice at any time with respect
to any and all persons subject to it. Any
determination made under this exercise
of authority as set out above can inform
but shall not control a decision
regarding any subsequent benefit or
protection applications, unless such
exercise of authority has been revoked.
This exercise of authority shall not be
construed to prejudice, in any way, the
ability of the U.S. government to
commence subsequent criminal or civil
proceedings in accordance with U.S.
law involving any beneficiary of this
exercise of authority (or any other
person). This exercise of authority
creates no substantive or procedural
right or benefit that is legally
enforceable by any party against the
United States or its agencies or officers
or any other person.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
Notice informs the public that the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) has submitted to
OMB, for emergency processing, an
information collection package with
respect to implementing an FHA Energy
Efficient Mortgage Innovation pilot
program targeted to the single family
housing market. The Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 111–
117, approved December 16, 2009, 123
Stat. 3034) (2010 Appropriations Act),
which appropriated fiscal year 2010
funds for HUD, among other agencies,
appropriated $50 million for an Energy
Innovation Fund to enable HUD to
catalyze innovations in the residential
energy efficiency sector that have the
promise of replicability and help create
a standardized home energy efficient
retrofit market. Of the $50 million
appropriated for the Energy Innovation
Fund, the 2010 Appropriations Act
stated that ‘‘$25,000,000 shall be for the
Energy Efficient Mortgage Innovation
pilot program directed at the single
family housing market.’’ (See Pub. L.
111–117, at 123 Stat. 3089). The FHA
Home Energy Retrofit Loan Pilot
Program (Retrofit Pilot Program) is
designed by HUD to meet this statutory
directive and provides funding to
support that effort. Under the Retrofit
Pilot Program, HUD, through FHAapproved lenders, will insure loans for
homeowners who are seeking to make
energy improvements to their homes.
Lender participation in the Retrofit
Pilot Program is voluntary. To facilitate
HUD’s monitoring of lender use of
incentive payments funds, lenders will
be required to enter into a pilot program
agreement with HUD, to report to HUD
on their use of incentive payments
funds.
