SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The notice of July 26, 1999 (64 FR 40389-40390) applied to those
aliens who filed an abbreviated NACARA motion to reopen by September
11, 1998, as provided in 63 FR 31890 (June 11, 1998). The notice was
issued to clarify the deadline to submit an application for suspension
of deportation or special rule cancellation of removal and supporting
documentation to complete a NACARA motion to reopen. Initially, the
Department established a February 8, 1999, deadline for eligible aliens
to submit the application for suspension of deportation or special rule
cancellation of removal and all the accompanying documentation in
support of the NACARA motion to reopen. See 63 FR 31890, 31895 (June
11, 1998). In the final NACARA motion to reopen rule, the Department
extended the deadline to complete a NACARA motion to reopen to 150 days
after the rule implementing section 203 of NACARA becomes effective.
See 64 FR 13663 (March 22, 1999). The rule implementing section 203 of
NACARA was published on May 21, 1999, and the effective date was June
21, 1999. The July 26, 1999 notice alerted those eligible aliens that
the 150-day period to complete the NACARA motion to reopen had started
to run.
Need for Correction
As published in the Federal Register on July 26, 1999 (64 FR
40389), the notice concerning submission of certain motions to reopen
pertaining to suspension of deportation and cancellation of removal
inadvertently did not calculate the actual ending date for submission
of those motions.
Correction of Publication
Accordingly, the publication on July 26, 1999 (64 FR 40389) of the
notice that was the subject of FR Doc. 99-18930 is corrected as
follows:
1. On page 40389, column 3, in the SUMMARY, beginning three lines
from the bottom, remove the parenthetical phrase and add ``November 18,
1999'' in its place.
2. On page 40389, column 3, under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
five lines from the bottom, correct the spelling of Mary Giovagnoli's
name by removing ``Giovagnolia'' and adding in its place
``Giovagnoli''.
3. On page 40390, in the first column, under the heading ``When Is
the Deadline to Complete a NACARA Motion To Reopen'', beginning three
lines from the bottom, remove the parenthetical phrase and add
``November 18, 1999'' in its place.
Dated: July 29, 1999.
