SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The final regulation that is the subject of these corrections
streamlines the motions and appeals practice before the Board of
Immigration Appeals and establishes a centralized procedure for filing
notices of appeal, fees, fee waiver requests, and briefs directly with
the Board. The new regulation also establishes time and number
limitations on motions to reconsider and on motions to reopen and makes
certain changes to appellate procedures to reflect the statutory
directives of section 545 of the Immigration Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-
649, 104 Stat. at 4978).
Need for Correction
As published, the final regulation contains errors which may prove
to be misleading and are in need of clarification.
