2016-11-30; vol. 81 # 230 - Wednesday, November 30, 2016 81 FR 86291 - Procedures Further Implementing the Annual Limitation on Suspension of Deportation and Cancellation of Removal
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Executive Office for Immigration Review Notice of proposed rulemaking. Written comments must be submitted on or before January 30, 2017. Comments received by mail will be considered timely if they are postmarked on or before that date. The electronic Federal Docket Management System (FDMS) will accept comments until midnight Eastern Time at the end of that day. 8 CFR Part 1240 Summary The Department of Justice proposes to amend the regulations of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) governing the annual statutory limitation on cancellation of removal and suspension of deportation decisions. First, the rule proposes to eliminate certain procedures created in 1998 that were used to convert 8,000 conditional grants of suspension of deportation and cancellation of removal to outright grants before the end of fiscal year 1998. The need for such procedures ceased to exist after the end of fiscal year 1998. Second, the Department proposes to authorize immigration judges and the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) to issue final decisions denying applications, without restriction, regardless of whether the annual limitation has been reached. This proposed amendment would decrease the high volume of reserved decisions that results when the annual limitation is reached early in the fiscal year; reduce the associated delays caused by postponing the resolution of pending cases before EOIR; and provide an applicant with knowledge of a decision in the applicant's case on or around the date of the hearing held on the applicant's suspension or cancellation application.
2015-10-01; vol. 80 # 190 - Thursday, October 1, 2015 80 FR 59503 - List of Pro Bono Legal Service Providers for Individuals in Immigration Proceedings
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Executive Office for Immigration Review Final rule. This rule is effective November 30, 2015. 8 CFR Parts 1003, 1240, and 1241 Summary This final rule adopts, as amended, the proposed rule entitled “List of Pro Bono Legal Service Providers for Aliens in Immigration Proceedings.” The final rule changes the name of the “List of Free Legal Service Providers,” maintained by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), to the “List of Pro Bono Legal Service Providers” (List). It enhances the eligibility requirements for providers to be included on the List. It authorizes the Director of EOIR, or his or her designee, to place providers on the List and remove them from the List. The rule also allows the public to comment on eligible applicants and requires approved providers to certify their eligibility every 3 years.
2014-09-17; vol. 79 # 180 - Wednesday, September 17, 2014 79 FR 55662 - List of Pro Bono Legal Service Providers for Aliens in Immigration Proceedings

2013-03-29; vol. 78 # 61 - Friday, March 29, 2013 78 FR 19077 - Forwarding of Asylum Applications to the Department of State
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Executive Office for Immigration Review Final rule. This rule is effective April 29, 2013. 8 CFR Parts 1208 and 1240 Summary This final rule adopts without substantive change the proposed rule with request for comments published in the Federal Register on October 31, 2011, and includes several non-substantive, technical corrections. The Department of Justice (Department) is amending its regulations to alter the process by which the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) forwards asylum applications for consideration by the Department of State (DOS), Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. Currently, EOIR forwards to DOS all asylum applications that are submitted initially in removal proceedings before an immigration judge. The final rule amends the regulations to provide for sending asylum applications to DOS on a discretionary basis. For example, EOIR may forward an application in order to ascertain whether DOS has information relevant to the applicant's eligibility for asylum. This change increases the efficiency of DOS' review of asylum applications and is consistent with similar changes already made by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
