Title: Regulations Relating to Temporary Protected Status 
Abstract: Regulations implement provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act as established by section 302 of the Immigration Act of 1990, Public Law 101-649, which allow for the establishment and implementation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Currently, nationals of countries have been accorded TPS through the publication of separate Federal Register Notices. Current regulatory actions include: INS No. 1608 provides for exceptions to deadlines for registering for TPS and updates the application process. INS No. 1612 provides for the removal of obsolete TPS language. INS No. 2229 terminates TPS for Sierra Leone.
