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withdrawn whenever, in the judgment of the Commissioner, there appears 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