Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 241 / Monday, December 15, 2008 / Notices
• Are a national of El Salvador (or an
alien having no nationality who last
habitually resided in El Salvador);
• Applied for and received an EAD
under the designation of El Salvador for
TPS; and
• Have not had TPS withdrawn or
denied.
This automatic extension is limited to
EADs issued on Form I–766,
Employment Authorization Document,
bearing an expiration date of March 9,
2009. These EADs must also bear the
notation ‘‘A–12’’ or ‘‘C–19’’ on the face
of the card under ‘‘Category.’’
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
If employment authorization is valid
until September 9, 2009, why should I
file for re-registration now?
DHS has granted a one time automatic
extension of EADs through September 9,
2009. This allows USCIS additional
time to process EAD applications for reregistrants and ensure that a gap in
status does not occur. Applications for
re-registration that are received by
USCIS on or before December 30, 2008
may be processed prior to the EAD
expiration date of March 9, 2009.
However, in order to maintain TPS
benefits through September 9, 2010, all
TPS beneficiaries must comply with the
re-registration requirements, and submit
any associated application fees or
applications for waivers of the fees,
described in Federal Notice 73 FR 57128
(October 1, 2008), to USCIS. Those
applications that are received after
December 30, 2008 may take
considerably longer to process.
Although this Notice extends the EAD
through September 9, 2009, applicants
for re-registration should file their
applications early to allow ample time
for processing so that a gap in TPS
benefits does not occur. There will not
be a second automatic extension for
EAD.
How may employers determine whether
an EAD has been automatically
extended for six months, through
September 9, 2009, and is therefore
acceptable for completion of the Form
I–9, Employment Eligibility
Verification?
An EAD that has been automatically
extended for six months by this Notice
through September 9, 2009, will bear
the notation ‘‘A–12’’ or ‘‘C–19’’ on the
face of the Form I–766 under
‘‘Category,’’ and have an expiration date
of March 9, 2009, on the face of the
card. New EADs or extension stickers
showing the September 9, 2009,
expiration date of the six-month
automatic extension will not be issued.
Employers should not request proof of
Salvadoran citizenship.
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 217001
Employers should accept an EAD as a
valid ‘‘List A’’ document and not ask for
additional Form I–9 documentation if
presented with an EAD that has been
extended pursuant to this Federal
Register Notice, and the EAD reasonably
appears on its face to be genuine and to
relate to the employee. This extension
does not affect the right of an applicant
for employment or an employee to
present any legally acceptable document
as proof of identity and eligibility for
employment.
Note to Employers: Employers are
reminded that the laws requiring
employment eligibility verification and
prohibiting unfair immigration-related
employment practices remain in full force.
This Notice does not supersede or in any way
limit applicable employment verification
rules and policy guidance, including those
setting forth re-verification requirements. For
questions, employers may call the USCIS
Customer Assistance Office at 1–800–357–
2099. Employers may also call the U.S.
Department of Justice Office of Special
Counsel for Immigration Related Unfair
Employment Practices (OSC) Employer
Hotline at 1–800–255–8155. Employees or
applicants may call the OSC Employee
Hotline at 1–800–255–7688 for information
regarding the automatic extension.
Additional information is available on the
OSC Web site at https://www.usdoj.gov/crt/
osc/.
How may employers determine an
employee’s eligibility for employment
once the automatic six-month extension
expires on September 9, 2009?
Eligible TPS aliens will possess an
EAD on Form I–766 with an expiration
date of September 9, 2010. The EAD
will bear the notation ‘‘A–12’’ or ‘‘C–19’’
on the face of the card under
‘‘Category,’’ and should be accepted for
the purposes of verifying identity and
employment authorization.
What documents may a qualified
individual show to his or her employer
as proof of employment authorization
and identity when completing Form
I–9?
Qualified individuals who have
received a six-month automatic
extension of their EADs by virtue of this
Federal Register Notice may present
their TPS-based EAD to their employers,
as described above, as proof of identity
and employment authorization through
September 9, 2009. To minimize
confusion over this extension at the
time of hire or re-verification, qualified
individuals may also present a copy of
this Federal Register Notice regarding
the automatic extension of employment
authorization documentation through
September 9, 2009. After September 9,
2009, a qualified individual may present
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
a new EAD valid through September 9,
2010.
In the alternative, any legally
acceptable document or combination of
documents as listed on the Form I–9
may be presented as proof of identity
and employment eligibility.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 241 / Monday, December 15, 2008 / Notices
OMB, for emergency processing, a
proposed information collection
requirement as described below. This
Notice is soliciting comments from
members of the public and affecting
agencies concerning the proposed
collection of information to: (1) Evaluate
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (3) Enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
Minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to

This notice also lists the following
information:
Title of Proposal: Disaster Housing
Assistance Program (DHAP) Incremental
Rent Transition Study.
Description of Information Collection:
This document provides notice that this
emergency request is necessary at this
time because it is an essential part of an
important study of the incremental rent
transition (IRT) aspect of DHAP. This
study will compare families
transitioning from stepped-up rents (i.e.,
Phase I families) and $0 rent (i.e., Phase
II/Phase III families) to market rate or
assisted housing and measure their
outcomes over time. This Information
Collection would enable the Department
to answer the question of how do you
transition people most effectively from
rental assistance to market rate housing
after a disaster. Additionally, since
DHAP differs from the regular Housing
Choice Voucher (HCV) program, this
study will enable HUD to see if DHAP
vouchers and their differential rents are
having a different effect on housing,
employment, education, health, and
other outcomes after DHAP ends
February 28, 2009.
OMB Control Number: 2528–Pending.
Agency Form Numbers: None.
Members of Affected Public: State,
Local or Tribal Government.
Estimation of the total numbers of
hours needed to prepare the information
collection including number of
respondents, frequency of responses,
and hours of response: The estimated
total number of burden hours needed to
prepare the information collection is
3,000; the number of respondents is
3000; the frequency of response is once.
Status: This is a request for a new
collection.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended.
