#  [Corrected]

**AGENCY:**

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, DHS.

**ACTION:**

Interim rule; correction.

**SUMMARY:**

This document contains corrections to the interim rule published in the *Federal Register* on September 17, 2007. The rule established the requirements and procedures for aliens seeking U nonimmigrant status. A review of the interim rule after publication identified erroneous references to filing fees for Form I-918, “Petition for U Nonimmigrant Status,” and Form I-918, Supplement A.

**DATES:**

Effective Date: October 17, 2007.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Laura Dawkins, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Department of Homeland Security, 20 Massachusetts Avenue, NW., Room 2304, Washington, DC 20529, telephone: (202) 272-8350.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

**Need for Correction**

On September 17, 2007, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) published an interim rule at 72 FR 53014 establishing the requirements and procedures for aliens seeking U nonimmigrant status. The *SUMMARY* and *SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION* sections of the interim rule made contradictory statements regarding whether there is a filing fee for Form I-918, “Petition for U Nonimmigrant Status,” and Form I-918, Supplement A. The regulation text itself contained an amendment to 8 CFR 103.7(b)(1) and language in new 8 CFR 214.14(c) reflecting that USCIS would charge a filing fee for Form I-918 and Form I-918, Supplement A. As correctly stated in the Supplementary Information (page 53031, third column, paragraph D.), USCIS will charge no fee for Forms I-918 and I-918, Supplement A, but will charge the established fee for biometric services for each person ages 14 through 79 inclusive with each U nonimmigrant status petition.

**8 CFR Part 103**

**Correction of Publication**

Accordingly, the publication on September 17, 2007 (72 FR 53014) of the interim rule that was the subject of FR Doc. E7-17807 is corrected as follows:

**PART 103—POWERS AND DUTIES; AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS**

§ 103.7

1. On page 53035, in the first column, remove the part heading “PART 103—POWERS AND DUTIES; AVAILABILITY OF RECORDS”.

**8 CFR Part 103**

2. On page 53035, in the first column, remove the regulatory changes to part 103, by removing amendments 1 and 2.

**8 CFR Part 214**

**PART 214—NONIMMIGRANT CLASSES**

§ 214.14

3. On page 53037, in the second column, in paragraph (c)(1) introductory text, in the eighth line, the phrase “applicable fees” should read “applicable biometric fee”.

Dated: September 24, 2007.
