SUMMARY: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: sroberts on PROD1PC70 with RULES Need for Correction On December 17, 2008, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) published an interim rule at 73 FR 76505 amending its regulations governing the types of acceptable identity and employment authorization documents and receipts that employees VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:34 Jan 15, 2009 Jkt 217001 may present to their employers for completion of the Form I–9, Employment Eligibility Verification. The rule inadvertently included extraneous language in two paragraphs at 8 CFR 274a.2(b)(1)(vi)(B)(1) and (2). These paragraphs describe a type of receipt that can be presented by lawful permanent residents to their employers in lieu of the Form I–551, Permanent Resident Card, for completion of the Form I–9. As explained in the preamble on page 76507, column 3, in the first sentence under the paragraph heading, ‘‘Adding references to Form I–94A,’’ (see also the last sentence under the paragraph heading, ‘‘C. Revising References to Temporary I–551s’’), the only change the rule was making to 8 CFR 274a.2(b)(1)(vi)(B) was to add references to the Form I–94A next to each reference to the Form I–94, ArrivalDeparture Record. In error, the regulatory text amending 8 CFR 274a.2(b)(1)(vi)(B)(1) at 73 FR 76511 inadvertently included the extraneous language, ‘‘with an unexpired foreign passport’’ in the sentence, ‘‘Presents the arrival portion of Form I–94 or Form I– 94A with an unexpired foreign passport containing an unexpired ‘Temporary I– 551’ stamp and a photograph of the individual, which is designated for purposes of this section as a receipt for Form I–551;’’. In addition, the regulatory text amending 8 CFR 274a.2(b)(1)(vi)(B)(2) inadvertently included the extraneous language, ‘‘or statement,’’ in the sentence, ‘‘Presents the Form I–551 by the expiration date of the ‘Temporary I– 551’ stamp or, if the stamp or statement has no expiration date, within one year from the issuance date of the arrival portion of the Form I–94 or Form I– 94A;’’. Note that DHS places only Temporary I–551 ‘‘stamps’’ and not Temporary I–551 ‘‘statements’’ on Forms I–94 when issuing temporary evidence of lawful permanent resident status using Forms I–94.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Need for Correction

    On December 17, 2008, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services 
(USCIS) published an interim rule at 73 FR 76505 amending its 
regulations governing the types of acceptable identity and employment 
authorization documents and receipts that employees may present to 
their employers for completion of the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility 
Verification.
    The rule inadvertently included extraneous language in two 
paragraphs at 8 CFR 274a.2(b)(1)(vi)(B)(1) and (2). These paragraphs 
describe a type of receipt that can be presented by lawful permanent 
residents to their employers in lieu of the Form I-551, Permanent 
Resident Card, for completion of the Form I-9.
    As explained in the preamble on page 76507, column 3, in the first 
sentence under the paragraph heading, ``Adding references to Form I-
94A,'' (see also the last sentence under the paragraph heading, ``C. 
Revising References to Temporary I-551s''), the only change the rule 
was making to 8 CFR 274a.2(b)(1)(vi)(B) was to add references to the 
Form I-94A next to each reference to the Form I-94, Arrival-Departure 
Record. In error, the regulatory text amending 8 CFR 
274a.2(b)(1)(vi)(B)(1) at 73 FR 76511 inadvertently included the 
extraneous language, ``with an unexpired foreign passport'' in the 
sentence, ``Presents the arrival portion of Form I-94 or Form I-94A 
with an unexpired foreign passport containing an unexpired `Temporary 
I-551' stamp and a photograph of the individual, which is designated 
for purposes of this section as a receipt for Form I-551;''.
    In addition, the regulatory text amending 8 CFR 
274a.2(b)(1)(vi)(B)(2) inadvertently included the extraneous language, 
``or statement,'' in the sentence, ``Presents the Form I-551 by the 
expiration date of the `Temporary I-551' stamp or, if the stamp or 
statement has no expiration date, within one year from the issuance 
date of the arrival portion of the Form I-94 or Form I-94A;''. Note 
that DHS places only Temporary I-551 ``stamps'' and not Temporary I-551 
``statements'' on Forms I-94 when issuing temporary evidence of lawful 
permanent resident status using Forms I-94.
    This document corrects these two errors by removing the extraneous 
language from the regulatory text.
