Hatch Chairman The Honorable Patrick J. Leahy Ranking Minority Member Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate The Honorable Henry J. Hyde Chairman The Honorable John Conyers, Jr. Ranking Minority Member Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives Subject: Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service: Adjustment of Certain Fees of the Immigration Examinations Fee Account 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), entitled Adjustment of Certain Fees of the Immigration Examinations Fee Account (RIN: 1115-AE42). We received the rule on August 12, 1998. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on August 14, 1998. 63 Fed. Reg. 43604. The final rule adjusts the fees schedule of the Immigration Examinations Fee Account (IEFA) for certain immigration adjudication and naturalization applications and petitions. Fees collected from persons filing these applications and petitions are deposited in the IEFA and are used to fund the cost of processing immigration adjudication and naturalization applications and petitions and associated support services; the cost of providing similar services to asylum and refugee applicants; and the cost of similar services provided to other immigrants at no charge. The rule ensures that the fees that fund the IEFA generate sufficient revenue to recover the full cost of providing these services. GAO/OGC-98-71
