Sec.  241.9  Notice to transportation line of alien's removal.

    (a) An alien who has been ordered removed shall, immediately or as 
promptly as the circumstances permit, be offered for removal to the 
owner, agent, master, commanding officer, person in charge, purser, or 
consignee of the vessel or aircraft on which the alien is to be removed, 
as determined by the district director, with a written notice specifying 
the cause of inadmissibility or deportability, the class of travel in 
which such alien arrived and is to be removed, and with the return of 
any documentation that will assist in effecting his or her removal. If 
special care and attention are required, the provisions of Sec.  241.10 
shall apply.
    (b) Failure of the carrier to accept for removal an alien who has 
been ordered removed shall result in the carrier being assessed any 
costs incurred by the Service for detention after the carrier's failure 
to accept the alien for removal, including the cost of any 
transportation as required under section 241(e) of the Act. The User Fee 
Account shall not be assessed for expenses incurred because of the 
carrier's violation of the provisions of section 241 of the Act and this 
paragraph. The Service will, at the carrier's option, retain custody of 
the alien for an additional 7 days beyond the date of the removal order. 
If, after the third day of this additional 7-day period, the carrier has 
not made all the necessary transportation arrangements for the alien to 
be returned to his or her point of embarkation by the end of the 
additional 7-day period, the Service will make the arrangements and bill 
the carrier for its costs.
