Screening Requirements of Carriers

This rule proposes to amend the Immigration and Naturalization Service (``the Service'') regulations by establishing procedures carriers must undertake for the proper screening of passengers at the ports of embarkation to become eligible for a reduction, refund, or waiver of a fine imposed under section 273 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act). This rule is necessary to enable the Service to reduce, refund, or waive fines for carriers that have taken appropriate measures to properly screen passengers being transported to the United States, while continuing to impose financial penalties against those carriers that fail to properly screen passengers.
