SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Need for Correction

On December 12, 2008, the Department of Homeland Security published an interim rule in the Federal Register at 73 FR 75540 to permit aliens in lawful T or U nonimmigrant status to apply for adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident. At 8 CFR 245.24 DHS inadvertently:

Ended the sentence in paragraph (d)(9) with a ``:'' instead of a ``;'',

Omitted the word ``facts'' immediately after the word

``specific'' at the end of paragraph (d)(9), and

Ended the sentence in paragraph (d)(10) with a ``period'' rather than a ``; and''.

Correction of Publication 0

Accordingly, the publication on December 12, 2008, at 73 FR 75540 of the interim final rule that was the subject of FR Doc. E8-29277 is corrected as follows:

PART 245--ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS TO THAT OF PERSON ADMITTED FOR

PERMANENT RESIDENCE

Sec. 245.24 [Corrected] 0 1. On page 75561, in the second column, at the end of paragraph (d)(9), revise the term ``by specific:'' to read: ``by specific facts;''. 0 2. On page 75561, in the second column, at the end of paragraph

(d)(10), remove the ``.'' and add a ``; and'' in its place.

Dated: December 30, 2008.

Acting Deputy Director, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
