Title: Regulations Relating to Temporary Protected Status 
Abstract: Regulations published under this RIN implement provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act as established by section 302 of the Immigration Act of 1990, Pub. L. 101-649, which allow for the establishment and implementation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Currently, nationals of four countries (Liberia, Somalia, Rwanda, and Bosnia-Hercegovina) have been accorded TPS Status. Such designations are accomplished by notice published in the Federal Register. Previously published TPS regulations were cited by RIN 1115-AC30. Current regulatory actions: 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.
