[Public Notice 2336]


Bureau of Consular Affairs; Visas: Documentation of Immigrants 
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act as Amended; Correction

AGENCY: Bureau of Consular Affairs, Department of State.

ACTION: Correction to final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects the final rule published in the Federal 
Register on January 22, 1996 [61 FR 1523] which promulgates changes to 
the regulations implementing the Diversity Immigrant Program provided 
for in INA 201(a)(3), 201(e), 203(c), and 204(a)(1)(G), as amended. 
This document corrects the effective date of the final rule by amending 
it to read January 22, 1996.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date published in the Department of State 
rule published at 61 FR 1523 was incorrectly printed as February 21, 
1996. The correct effective date is January 22, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cornelius D. Scully, III, Director, 
Office of Legislation, Regulations, and Advisory Assistance, Bureau of 
Consular Affairs, Department of State, [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department's Public Notice 2319 
published at 61 FR 1523 incorrectly showed an effective date of 
February 21, 1996. The effective date of this rule should be January 
22, 1996. This rule amends Sec. 42.33 of 22 CFR Part 42. This rule 
modified the petitioning procedure by requiring aliens petitioning for 
selection to compete for visas, sign their petition and include a 
photograph. This rule also proves authority for collection of a 
processing fee in case it should be decided that a fee should be 
charged.

    Dated: February 9, 1996.
Mary A. Ryan,
Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs.
