Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 32 / Thursday, February 19, 2009 / Notices
(INS) published a notice in the Federal
Register describing pilot programs that
are required by section 403 of IIRIRA.
On December 20, 2004, U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services (USCIS)
announced the extension and expansion
of one of these programs, the Basic Pilot,
which was renamed the E-Verify
Program in 2007. The E-Verify Program
permits participating employers to
electronically verify the employment
authorization of newly hired employees
against Social Security Administration
and, in some cases, Department of
Homeland Security, databases.

Program Evaluations
Section 405 of IIRIRA required that
evaluation reports on the verification
pilot programs be completed and sent to
Congress. Those evaluation reports were
submitted to Congress in 2001 and 2002.
Since that time the former INS and now
USCIS have continued to evaluate and
report on the electronic employment
verification program to ensure that it is
meeting the E-Verify Program’s goals of
reducing unauthorized employment,
reducing verification-related
discrimination, protecting employee
privacy and confidentiality, and
minimizing employer burden. USCIS is
currently evaluating the impact of
expanded participation in the E-Verify
Program under Arizona law. This
meeting is being held as part of the
evaluation to help the evaluators
identify strengths and weaknesses of the
E-Verify Program’s implementation
under Arizona law from multiple
perspectives, obtain insights into the
issues and impacts that might arise with
implementation of E-Verify in a
mandatory use environment, suggest
how those issues might be addressed,
and prioritize future research topics.
USCIS understands that expanded EVerify Program participation in Arizona
relates to the enactment of certain
requirements of Arizona State law; the
purpose of the evaluation and this
stakeholder meeting are to better
understand effects on the E-Verify
Program from the Federal perspective,
rather than to analyze, construe or take
a position as to the scope or merits of
any particular provision of Arizona law.
Summary of Agenda
• Introductions.
• Update on the E-Verify Program.
• Overview of the fiscal year (FY)
2008 evaluation.
• Evaluation goals for FY 2009.
• Breakout group meetings to address
topics such as addressing identity fraud,
understanding and resolving tentative
nonconfirmations, identifying program
strengths and recommending program

improvements focusing on specific
types of employers (e.g., designated
agents, employers using designated
agents, employment and temporary help
agencies, small employers, multi-site
employers, and companies with large
concentrations of immigrant workers).
• Discussion of output from
individual breakout groups.
• Questions and comments.
