                Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on
                a major rule promulgated by the Department of Justice, Immigration and
                Naturalization Service (INS) and Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR),
                entitled Inspection and Expedited Removal of Aliens; Detention and Removal of
                Aliens; Conduct of Removal Proceedings; Asylum Procedures (RIN: 1115-AE47).
                We received the rule on March 14, 1997. It was published in the Federal Register as
                a interim rule on March 6, 1997. 62 Fed. Reg. 10312.

                The interim rule implements the provisions of the Illegal Immigration Reform and
                Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) governing expedited and regular
                removal proceedings, handling asylum claims and other activities involving the
                apprehension, detention, hearing of claims and ultimately the removal of
                inadmissible and deportable aliens.
