Extension of the Designation of Haiti
for Temporary Protected Status
U.S. Citizenship and

ACTION: Notice.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Through this Notice, the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) announces that the Secretary of
Homeland Security (Secretary) is
extending the designation of Haiti for
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 6
months, from July 23, 2017, through
January 22, 2018. The Secretary has
determined that a limited, 6-month
extension is warranted because,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:43 May 23, 2017
Jkt 241001
although Haiti has made significant
progress in recovering from the January
2010 earthquake that prompted its
initial designation, conditions in Haiti
supporting its designation for TPS
continue to be met at this time. The
Secretary is committed to making TPS
determinations that fully comply with
the Immigration and Nationality Act
and the intent of the program to provide
a temporary form of immigration relief
and protection to eligible individuals
who cannot return to their home
country due to ongoing armed conflict,
environmental disasters, or other
extraordinary and temporary conditions.
This Notice also sets forth procedures
necessary for nationals of Haiti (or
aliens having no nationality who last
habitually resided in Haiti) to re-register
for TPS and to apply for renewal of their
Employment Authorization Documents
(EAD) with U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS). USCIS
will issue EADs with a January 22, 2018
expiration date to eligible Haiti TPS
beneficiaries who timely re-register and
apply for EADs under this extension.
Provided a Haiti TPS beneficiary timely
re-registers and properly files an
application for an EAD during the 60day re-registration period, his or her
employment authorization will be
automatically extended for an
additional period not to exceed 180
days from the date the current EAD
expires, i.e., January 18, 2018. See 8
CFR 274a.13(d)(1). TPS beneficiaries are
reminded that, prior to January 22,
2018, the Secretary will re-evaluate the
designation for Haiti and decide anew
whether extension, redesignation, or
termination is warranted. During this
period, beneficiaries are encouraged to
prepare for their return to Haiti in the
event Haiti’s designation is not
extended again, including requesting
updated travel documents from the
Government of Haiti.
DATES: Extension of Designation of Haiti
for TPS: The 6-month extension of the
TPS designation of Haiti is effective July
23, 2017, and will remain in effect
through January 22, 2018. The 60-day
re-registration period runs from May 24,
2017 through July 24, 2017.

process and additional information on

The extension allows TPS
beneficiaries to maintain TPS through
January 22, 2018, so long as they
continue to meet the eligibility
requirements for TPS. The Secretary has
determined that an extension is
warranted because the conditions in
Haiti that prompted the TPS
designation, while significantly
improved, continue to be met. There
continue to be extraordinary and
temporary conditions in Haiti that
prevent Haitian nationals (or aliens
having no nationality who last
habitually resided in Haiti) from
returning to Haiti in safety. The
Secretary also has determined that
permitting such Haitian nationals to
continue to remain in the United States,
at this time, is not contrary to the
national interest of the United States.
TPS beneficiaries are reminded that,
prior to the conclusion of this six-month
