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 that may prove
to be misleading and are in need of clarification.

Accordingly, the publication on April 29, 1996 of the final
regulation (EOIR 102F), which was the subject of FR Doc. 96-10157 is
corrected as follows:

line 13, the word ``shall'' is corrected to read ``may'' and in line
17, the last sentence of the paragraph is corrected to read ``Such
motion may be consolidated with, and considered by the Board in
connection with the appeal to the Board.''
Sec. 246.7 [Corrected]
2. On page 18910, in the first column, Sec. 246.7, line 4, the
following language is removed: ``except that no appeal shall lie from
