Sec. 40.66  Subject of civil penalty.

    (a) General. An alien who is the subject of a final order imposing a 
civil penalty for a violation under INA 274C shall be ineligible for a 
visa under INA 212(a)(6)(F).
    (b) Waiver of ineligibility. If an applicant is ineligible under 
paragraph (a) of this section but appears to the consular officer to 
meet the prerequisites for seeking the benefits of INA 212(d)(12), the 
consular officer shall inform the alien of the procedure for applying to 
INS for relief under that provision of law. A visa may not be issued to 
the alien until the consular officer has received notification from INS 
of the approval of the alien's application under INA 212(d)(12).
