SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Need for Correction
On September 17, 2007, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) published an interim rule at 72 FR 53014 establishing the requirements and procedures for aliens seeking U nonimmigrant status. The SUMMARY and SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION sections of the interim rule made contradictory statements regarding whether there is a filing fee for Form I-918, "Petition for U Nonimmigrant Status," and Form I-918, Supplement A. The regulation text itself contained an amendment to 8 CFR 103.7(b)(1) and language in new 8 CFR 214.14(c) reflecting that USCIS would charge a filing fee for Form I-918 and Form I-918, Supplement A. As correctly stated in the Supplementary Information (page 53031, third column, paragraph D.), USCIS will charge no fee for Forms I-918 and I-918, Supplement A, but will charge the established fee for biometric services for each person ages 14 through 79 inclusive with each U nonimmigrant status petition.
Correction of Publication
Accordingly, the publication on September 17, 2007 (72 FR 53014) of the interim rule that was the subject of FR Doc. E7-17807 is corrected as follows:
PART 103-POWERS AND DUTIES; AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS
§ 103.7 [Corrected]
1. On page 53035, in the first column, remove the part heading "PART 103-POWERS AND DUTIES; AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS".
2. On page 53035, in the first column, remove the regulatory changes to part 103, by removing amendments 1 and 2.
PART 214-NONIMMIGRANT CLASSES
§ 214.14 [Corrected]
3. On page 53037, in the second column, in paragraph (c)(1) introductory text, in the eighth line, the phrase "applicable fees" should read "applicable biometric fee".
