Official abstract

This regulation establishes procedures by which federal and state law enforcement authorities (``LEAs'') may secure from the Immigration and Naturalization Service (``the Service'') and the Department of State (``State'') nonimmigrant classification for alien witnesses and informants who may eventually be granted lawful permanent resident (``LPR'') status because of their cooperation. The regulation is necessary to provide uniform standards and responsibilities for the admission, stay, monitoring, adjustment and, if necessary, departure of such alien witnesses and informants and to enable the government to comply with record-keeping and annual reporting requirements imposed by Congress.
