Title: Removal of International Entrepreneur Parole Program 
Abstract:

On January 17, 2017, DHS published the International Entrepreneur Final Rule (the IE final rule) in the Federal Register at 82 FR 5238, with an original effective date of July 17, 2017. On May 29, 2018, DHS published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) proposing to remove the international entrepreneur parole program from DHS regulations and solicited public comments on the proposal. DHS is withdrawing the May 29, 2018, proposed rule. The May 29, 2018, proposed rule relied on the direction from EO 13767. On February 2, 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order 14010 which revoked Executive Order 13767, and issued Executive Order 14012, which directed agencies to identify actions that fail to promote access to the legal immigration system.
