Title: Suspension of Deportation and Cancellation of Removal 
Abstract: This rule amends the regulations of the Executive Office for Immigration Review by eliminating the conditional grant process at 8 CFR 1240.21 and establishing a permanent procedure for processing suspension of deportation and cancellation of removal cases. This rule is necessary to implement the numerical limitation on suspension of deportation and cancellation of removal and adjustment of status imposed by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) and the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act of 1997 (NACARA).
