Title: Elimination of Immigration and Naturalization Service-Issued Mexican and Canadian Border Crossing Cards and Consent to Reapply for Admission After Removal 
Abstract: This rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) regulations to eliminate the use of Form I-175, Application for Nonresident Alien Canadian Border Crossing Card, and Form I-190, Application for Nonresident Alien Mexican Border Crossing Card. It also terminates the production of Form I-185, Nonresident Alien Canadian Border Crossing Card, and Form I-586, Nonresident Alien Mexican Border Crossing Card. In addition, this rule prohibits the use of Form I-186 (previous version of Mexican Border Crossing Card), Form I-185 and Form I-586 Border Crossing Cards (BCC's) after September 30, 2001, or whatever other date may be enacted for required use of a card containing a machine readable biometric identifier for entry (such as the fingerprint or handprint of the alien). Under the provisions of this rulemaking, an alien seeking entry into the United States by presentation of a BCC must complete a biometric verification upon each entry. This rule also amends the provisions regarding consent to reapply after removal to conform with the requirements of IIRIRA.
