SUMMARY:

4. Form ID referenced in 239.63, 249.446, 269.7, and 274.402 is amended by revising the page titled General Instructions to read as follows:

22 CFR Part 41

or her designated sponsor, and provides a brief description of the exchange visitors program, including the start and end date, category of exchange, and an estimate of the cost of the exchange program. The prospective exchange visitor must provide a properly executed Form DS2019 to a consular officer to be issued a J1 nonimmigrant visa. See 22 CFR 41.62a1. After being admitted to the United States, a responsible officer extending the program of an exchange visitor is required to provide the exchange visitor a duly executed Form DS2019
reflecting the extension and provide a notification copy of such form to the Department of State. 22 CFR 62.43b.
By amending 22 CFR 41.112, this rule will update the Departments regulations governing the process through which the validity of an expired nonimmigrant visa may be automatically extended to the date of application for readmission under certain circumstances. Certain exchange visitors may apply with DHS for readmission after an absence of 30 days or less solely in a contiguous territory or adjacent islands other than Cuba by presenting a current Form DS2019 and a valid passport.3 22 CFR
41.112d2ii. Additionally, in cases where DHS has changed the original nonimmigrant classification to another nonimmigrant classification, the validity of the expired or unexpired nonimmigrant visa may be considered to be automatically extended to the date of application for admission, and the visa may be converted as necessary to that changed classification. 22 CFR
41.112d1ii.
Regulatory Findings Administrative Procedure Act This rule constitutes a rule of policy and procedure, and as a result, it is exempt from notice and comment under 5 U.S.C. 553b3A.
Regulatory Flexibility Act/Executive Order 13272: Small Business Because this final rule is exempt from notice and comment rulemaking under 5 U.S.C. 553b, it is exempt from the regulatory flexibility analysis requirements set forth by the Regulatory 3 To be eligible to seek admission based on automatic extension of nonimmigrant visa validity, the applicant must have maintained and intend to resume nonimmigrant status; be applying for readmission within the authorized period of initial admission or extension of stay; not require authorization for admission under section 212d3
of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.
1182d3; not have applied for a new visa while abroad; and not be a national of a country identified as supporting terrorism in the Departments annual Patterns of Global Terrorism report.
