Title: ●Qualifications, Designation and Duties of Civil Surgeons, and Revocation of Civil Surgeon Designations  
Abstract: Civil surgeons are physicians authorized to conduct legally required medical examinations of aliens applying for certain immigration benefits. The Department of Homeland Security regulations do not define uniform standards for civil surgeon designation or procedures for granting and revoking civil surgeon designations. This rule proposes to amend the regulations to clearly define the roles and responsibilities of the civil surgeon, as well as the role of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services which is responsible for administering the civil surgeon program.
