PART 234_DESIGNATION OF PORTS OF ENTRY FOR ALIENS ARRIVING BY CIVIL 

AIRCRAFT--Table of Contents

 

Sec. 234.4  International airports for entry of aliens.



    International airports for the entry of aliens shall be those 

airports designated as such by the Commissioner. An application for 

designation of an airport as an international airport for the entry of 

aliens shall be made to the Commissioner and shall state whether the 

airport: (a) Has been approved by the Secretary of Commerce as a 

properly equipped airport, (b) has been designated by the Secretary of 

the Treasury as a port of entry for aircraft arriving in the United 

States from any place outside thereof and for the merchandise carried 

thereon, and (c) has been designated by the Secretary of Health, 

Education, and Welfare as a place for quarantine inspection. An airport 

shall not be so designated by the Commissioner without such prior 

approval and designation, and unless it appears to the satisfaction of 

the Commissioner that conditions render such designation necessary or 

advisable, and unless adequate facilities have been or will be provided 

at such airport without cost to the Federal Government for the proper 

inspection and disposition of aliens, including office space and such 

temporary detention quarters as may be found necessary. The designation 

of an airport as an international airport for the entry of aliens may be 

withdrawn whenever, in the judgment of the Commissioner, there appears 

just cause for such action.
