Department of State's Implementation of OMB Guidance on Nonprocurement Debarment and Suspension
The Department of State (DOS) is moving its regulations on nonprocurement debarment and suspension from their current location in title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to title 2 of the CFR, and is adopting the format established by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in a document of interim final guidance on nonprocurement debarment and suspension published in the Federal Register on August 31, 2005. In today's rule, DOS establishes a new 2 CFR part 601 that adopts OMB's final government-wide guidance on nonprocurement debarment and suspension and contains supplemental DOS nonprocurement debarment and suspension provisions. In addition, this rule removes 22 CFR part 137, the existing DOS nonprocurement debarment and suspension regulations and updates references to 22 CFR part 137 in 22 CFR part 145 and 22 CFR part 133 to conform with this change. These changes constitute an administrative simplification that makes no substantive change in DOS policy or procedures for nonprocurement debarment and suspension.
Visas: Documentation of Nonimmigrants Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, as Amended
This final rule amends the Department of States regulations related to students and exchange visitors to reflect changes introduced by Public Law108-441, and numerous administrative and procedural changes that have occurred with respect to these paragraphs following the transfer of the exchange visitor INA 212(e) waiver authority in 1999 from the United States Information Agency (USIA) to the Bureau of Consular Affairs in the Department of State. A number of these changes are non-substantive (i.e., agency name changes [the Department of Homeland Security in place of the Immigration and Naturalization Service], updating of office designations, etc.). Other changes reflect statutory amendments regarding waivers for the exchange visitor physicians and the proposed reconstitution of the Exchange Visitor Waiver Review Board.
Passports
The proposed rule would reorganize, restructure, and update the passport regulations contained in 22 CFR part 51 in order to make them easier for the users to access the information, to better reflect current practices and changes in statutory authority, and to remove outdated provisions.
