Title: Information Relating to Aliens' Duty To Surrender When Ordered Removed From the United States 
Abstract: The Department of Justice published an NPRM in 1998 and a supplemental NPRM in 2002 (RIN 1115-AE82) to establish that aliens who become subject to a final order of removal have a legal obligation to surrender for removal. This rule amends the regulations of the Department of Justice to provide that immigration judges and the Board of Immigration Appeals will inform aliens in removal proceedings that they have an affirmative obligation to surrender to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) upon the issuance of a final order of removal by an immigration judge or the Board. Aliens will be informed that the failure to surrender to DHS as required under the DHS rule will result in the denial of any forms of discretionary relief from removal while the alien remains in the United States and for a period of 10 years after the alien's departure from the United States. This rule is being published jointly with DHS.
