Sec. 215.7  Instructions from the Administrator required in certain cases.

    In the absence of appropriate instructions from the Administrator of 
the Bureau of Security and Consular Affairs, departure-control officers 
shall not exercise the authority conferred by Sec. 215.2 in the case of 
any alien who seeks to depart from the United States in the status of a 
nonimmigrant under section 101(a)(15) (A) or (G) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act, or in the status of a nonimmigrant under section 11(3), 
11(4), or 11(5) of the Agreement between the United Nations and the 
United States of America regarding the Headquarters of the United 
Nations (61 Stat. 756): Provided, That in cases of extreme urgency, 
where the national security so requires, a departure-control officer may 
preliminarily exercise the authority conferred by Sec. 215.2 pending the 
outcome of consultation with the Administrator, which shall be 
undertaken immediately. In all cases arising under this section, the 
decision of the Administrator shall be controlling: Provided, That any 
decision to prevent the departure of an alien shall be based upon a 
hearing and record as prescribed in this part.
