Title: Authorizing Collection of Fee Levied on F, J, and M Nonimmigrant Classifications Under Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) 
Abstract: This rule amends INS regulations to establish a $95.00 fee that schools and exchange visitor programs must collect and remit on behalf of academic and vocational students and exchange visitors categorized as F-1, M-1, and J-1 nonimmigrants respectively. The fee will be collected and remitted by schools and exchange visitor programs when students and exchange visitors first register or enroll in school or first commence exchange program participation in the United States. This rule is necessary to implement section 641 of IIRIRA as well as the authority that the INS already has under sections 103 and 214 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) and under 31 USC 9701 and section 286(m) of the Act. The rule will amend the INS fee schedule and regulations to reflect the change. In addition, this rule explains which F-1, J-1, M-1 nonimmigrants are required to pay the fee, those who are exempt from the fee requirement, and describes the consequences that an F-1, J-1, or M-1 nonimmigrant faces upon failure to pay the fee. The rule specifies the consequences that an approved school or exchange program faces if it fails to collect the fee under section 641(e) of IIRIRA.
