                  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-AF61). We received the rule on
          December 20, 2001. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on
          December 21, 2001. 66 Fed. Reg. 65811.

          The final rule adjusts the fee schedule of the Immigration Examinations Fee Account
          for certain immigration and naturalization applications and petitions, as well as the
          fee for fingerprinting of applicants who apply for certain immigration and
          naturalization benefits.

          Enclosed is our assessment of the INS' compliance with the procedural steps
          required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
          Our review indicates that the INS complied with the applicable requirements.
