(d) Medical treatment or observation. Any alien crewman denied a conditional landing permit or whose conditional landing permit issued under § 252.1 (d) (1) of this chapter is revoked may, upon the request of the master or agent, be paroled into the United States under the provisions of section 212(d) (5) of the Act in the custody of the agent of the vessel or aircraft and at the expense of the transportation line for medical treatment or observation.
