NOTICE
SECTION 256 OF THE IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT (8 USC 1286)
Note: The authorities and responsibilities of the Attorney General now be long to the Secretary of Homeland Security
It shall be unlawful for any person, including the owner, agent consignee, charterer, master or commanding officer vessel
or aircraft, to pay off or discharge an alien crewman, except an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence, employed
on board a vessel or aircraft arriving in the United States without first having obtained the consent of the Attorney General.

United States in violation of the provisions of this section, such owner, agent, consignee, charterer, master, commanding
officer or other person, shall pay to the Commissioner the sum of $3,000 for each such violation. No vessel or aircraft
shall be granted clearance pending the determination of the question of the liability to the payment of such sums or while
such sums remain unpaid, except that clearance may be granted prior to the determination of such question of the liability
to the payment of such sums or while such sums remain unpaid, except that clearance may be granted prior to the
determination of such question upon the deposit of an amount sufficient to cover such sums, or of a bond approved by the
commissioner with sufficient surety to secure the payment thereof. Such fine may, in the discretion of the Attorney
General be mitigated to not less than $1,500 for each violation, upon such terms as he shall think proper.
