DHS/USICE RIN: 1653-AA51 Publication ID: Spring 2009 
Title: Removal of Obsolete Procedures and Requirements for F and M Nonimmigrant Students for Schools Authorized To Enroll F and M Nonimmigrant Students 
Abstract: On October 30, 2001, the President issued Homeland Security Directive No. 2, requiring periodic reviews of all institutions certified to accept nonimmigrant students. The Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002 (Border Security Act), enacted May 12, 2004, also requires a periodic review of approved schools every two years. This direct final rule deletes obsolete, pre-SEVIS policies and procedures in various regulations. The continued presence of this outdated verbiage contributes to confusion, inefficiency, and misunderstanding by students and academic institutions.
