Title: Requiring Completion of Security Checks Before Issuance of Evidence of Alien Registration
Abstract: This interim rule amends Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations governing registration of aliens under sections 262 and 264 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act). The rule, which codifies existing DHS practices, provides that DHS will issue alien registration documents only once all appropriate background and security checks have been completed to the satisfaction of the Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary). This interim rule establishes time frames, under certain circumstances, for the issuance of such registration documentation and procedures for delaying the issuance of such documentation when DHS determines that the alien may pose a risk to national security or public safety.
