---------------------------------------

notice also contains a correction of a citation in the interim rule.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 6, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: H. Edward Odom, Chief, Legislation and Regulations Division, Visa Services, Department of State, Washington, DC 20520-0106, (202) 663-1204.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An interim rule implementing the new subsection 222(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), and requesting comments, was published on January 7, 1998 [63 FR 669]. The period for comments has expired; no comments have been received. The rule will thus stand as originally published, with a correction of the reference to INA 214(k) in 22 CFR 41.101(c)(1) which should read 214(l). As there are now two 214(l)'s in the INA, this reference is to the first one, i.e., the subsection relating to a waiver of the 2-year foreign residence requirement.
As the final regulation is identical to the interim regulation other than for the correction of a citation, it is not being reprinted in full herein.
List of Subjects in 22 CFR Part 41
Aliens, Nonimmigrants, Passports, Visas.
In view of the foregoing, the interim rule amending 22 CFR parts 40 and 41 which was published at 63 FR 669 on January 7, 1998, is adopted as a final rule with the following change:
PART 41--[CORRECTED]
1. The authority citation for part 41 continues to read:
Authority: 8 U.S.C. 1104.
Sec. 41.101 [Corrected]
2. In Sec. 41.101(c)(1), correct the reference to ``INA 214(k)'' to read ``INA 214(l)''.
Dated: May 20, 1998.Donna J. Hamilton,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs.
