	Several commenters objecting to the NPRM’s provisions regarding administrative closure pointed to a press announcement and web page by TRAC, issued on September 10, 2020, during the comment period. See TRAC, What’s New: The Life and Death of Administrative Closure, Sept. 10, 2020, available at https://trac.syr.edu/ whatsnew/email.200910.html (last visited Nov. 25, 2020), and TRAC, The Life and Death of Administrative Closure, Sept. 10, 2020, available at https://trac.syr.edu/immigration/ reports/623/ (last visited Nov. 25, 2020) (‘‘TRAC Report’’). Commenters asserted that TRAC’s analysis undermined the Department’s bases for the rule related to administrative closure. External Link
