#  Fees.

**AGENCY:**

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, DHS.

**ACTION:**

Final rule; correction.

**SUMMARY:**

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is issuing a final rule to restore text that was inadvertently deleted in a September 7, 2011, final rule entitled *Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Transitional Worker Classification* . In that rule, we had sought to modify the title of a paragraph, but inadvertently removed the body of the paragraph. This correction restores the text of the paragraph.

**DATES:**

This final rule is effective November 8, 2011.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Paola Rodriguez Hale, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Department of Homeland Security, 20 Massachusetts Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20529-2060 telephone (202) 272-1470.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

**Need for Correcting Amendment**

In the final rule *Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Transitional Worker Classification,* published in the *Federal Register* on September 7, 2011 at 76 FR 55502, DHS intended to revise only the heading of paragraph (b)(1)(i)(J) of § 103.7, which pertains to various U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services fees. The heading of that paragraph was revised from “Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker in CNMI (Form I-129CW)” to “Petition for a CNMI-Only Nonimmigrant Transitional Worker (Form I-129CW).” We did not intend to alter the specific amount of the fee, contained in the text of the paragraph. However, in that final rule, paragraph (b)(1)(i)(J) of § 103.7 was inadvertently revised in its entirety, eliminating all text except for the heading. This document corrects the error by restoring the original text of the paragraph.

**List of Subjects in 8 CFR Part 103**

Administrative practice and procedure, Authority delegations (Government agencies), Freedom of information, Privacy, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Surety bonds.

**Correcting Amendment**

Accordingly, 8 CFR part 103.7 is amended by making the following correcting amendment:
