Sec. 62.8  General program requirements.

    (a) Size of program. Sponsors, other than Federal government 
agencies, shall have no less than five exchange visitors per calendar 
year. The Department of State may in its discretion and for good cause 
shown reduce this requirement.
    (b) Minimum duration of program. Sponsors, other than federal 
government agencies, shall provide each exchange visitor, except short-
term scholars, with a minimum period of participation in the United 
States of three weeks.
    (c) Reciprocity. In the conduct of their exchange programs, sponsors 
shall make a good faith effort to achieve the fullest possible 
reciprocity in the exchange of persons.
    (d) Cross-cultural activities. Sponsors shall:

    (1) Offer or make available to exchange visitors a variety or 
appropriate cross-cultural activities. The extent and types of the 
cross-cultural activities shall be determined by the needs and interests 
of the particular category of exchange visitor. Sponsors will be 
responsible to determine the appropriate type and number of cross-
cultural programs for their exchange visitors. The Department of State 
encourages sponsors to give their exchange visitors the broadest 
exposure to American society, culture and institutions; and
    (2) Encourage exchange visitors to voluntarily participate in 
activities which are for the purpose of sharing the language, culture, 
or history of their home country with Americans, provided such 
activities do not delay the completion of the exchange visitors' 
programs.
