How may employers determine whether
an EAD has been automatically
extended for six months through
September 30, 2009, and is therefore
acceptable for completion of the Form I–
9?
A Form I–766 (EAD) issued to a
Liberian national (or person without
nationality who last habitually resided
in Liberia) bearing the notation ‘‘A–12’’
or ‘‘C–19’’ on the face of the card under
‘‘Category,’’ and having an expiration
date of September 30, 2007, on the face
of the card, is acceptable for completion
of the Form I–9. Furthermore, a Form I–
766 (EAD) issued to a Liberian national
(or person without nationality who last
habitually resided in Liberia) bearing
the notation ‘‘A–11’’ on the face of the
card under ‘‘Category,’’ and having an
expiration date of March 31, 2009, on
the face of the card, is acceptable for
completion of the Form I–9. This notice
provides a six-month automatic
extension of such EADs until September
30, 2009. Employers should not request
proof of Liberian citizenship.
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. Employers are
reminded that an applicant for
employment or an employee can 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.

limit applicable employment verification

Through September 30, 2009,
Liberians (and persons without
nationality who last habitually resided
in Liberia) who are eligible for DED, as
described in the Presidential
Memorandum, may present a copy of
this Federal Register Notice regarding
the automatic extension of employment
authorization documentation, along
with:
• Their Form I–766s (EADs) bearing
the notation ‘‘A–12’’ or ‘‘C–19’’ on the
face of the cards under ‘‘Category,’’ and
having an expiration date of September
30, 2007, on the face of the cards, or
• Their Forms I–766 (EADs) bearing
the notation ‘‘A–11’’ on the face of the
cards under ‘‘Category,’’ and having an
expiration date of March 31, 2009, on
the face of the cards.

List C of the Form I–9 may be presented
as proof of identity and employment
eligibility.

Housing Block Grant Information
Collection
May I request an interim EAD at my
local district office?
No. USCIS will not issue interim
EADs to individuals eligible for DED
under the Presidential Memorandum at
local district offices.
May an individual who is covered by
DED under the Presidential
Memorandum travel outside of the
United States and be permitted to return
during the 12-month DED period?
Individuals covered under DED who
would want to travel outside of the
United States must apply for and
receive advance parole by filing Form I–
131, Application for Travel Document,
with required fees. See 8 CFR 223.2(a).
The determination whether to grant
advance parole is within the discretion
of DHS and is not guaranteed in all
cases. If you seek advance parole in
order to go to Liberia, you may risk
being found ineligible to re-enter the
United States under DED because the
President’s Memorandum excludes

This Notice also lists the following
information:
Title of Proposal: Indian Housing
Block Grant Information Collection.
OMB Control Number: 2577–0218.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use: Section
102 of the Native American Housing
Assistance and Self-Determination
Reauthorization Act of 2008
(NAHASDA) requires that an Indian
Tribe or Tribally designated housing
entity for the Tribe submit an Indian
Housing Plan (IHP), form HUD–52735.
The IHP provides a description of how
the Tribe or housing entity will use the
Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG)
funds to provide affordable housing for
its low to moderate income Tribal
members. The IHP will be reviewed on
a limited basis to determine that the
planned activities are in compliance
with NAHASDA requirements, as
defined at 24 CFR Part 1000.
Section 404 of NAHASDA requires
the IHBG recipient to review progress
made on implementing the IHP and
submit an Annual Performance Report
(APR), form HUD–52735–AS. The APR
is to include a description of how the
IHBG funds were used and to correlate
the uses of the funds to the goals and
objectives in the IHP. The regulations
authorize HUD to extend the APR due
date if the recipient submits a justified
request. The information in the APR
will be used to review the recipient’s
progress in implementing the IHP,
determine if the activities are eligible
and to determine if the recipient has the
capacity to continue implementing the
IHP in a timely manner. The
information in the APR also will be
used to provide Congress, stakeholders,
and other interested parties with
information on how the IHBG funds are
being used to meet affordable housing
needs within Native American
communities.
Throughout the year, the recipient is
to submit quarterly a Federal Cash
Transactions Report (HUD–272–I) that
provides a snapshot of the grant funds
drawn from the recipient’s line of credit
(Title 24 CFR 85.41 (c)). HUD uses the
financial information to monitor IHBG
expenses, investments, and activities.
Participants in the IHBG program are
responsible for notifying HUD of
changes to the Formula Current Assisted
Stock (FCAS) component of the IHBG
formula. HUD is notified of changes in
the FCAS through a Formula Response
Form (HUD–4117), as defined at 24 CFR
1000.302. A Tribe, TDHE, or HUD may
challenge the data from the U.S.
Decennial Census or provide an
alternative source of data by submitting
the Guidelines for Challenging U.S.
Decennial Census Data Document
(HUD–4119). Census challenges are due
June 15 of each fiscal year, as defined
at 24 CFR 1000.336. This information
collection is required of participants in
the IHBG program to demonstrate
compliance with eligibility and other
requirements of NAHASDA; provision
of correction or challenge
documentation of the formula
calculation; and provision of data for
HUD’s annual report to Congress. The
information gathered will be used to
allocate funds under the IHBG program.
The quality assurance of data reported
is a very important issue in maintaining
HUD’s databases used to monitor
participant’s proposed plans,
accomplishments, determine program
compliance, and to ensure fair and
equitable allocations. In some cases, the
FCAS information addressing the
conveyances and conversions of units
has resulted in the recouping of funds.
The information collected will allow
HUD to accurately audit the program.

Title of Proposal: Indian Housing Block Grant Information
Collection.
OMB Control Number: 2577-0218.
Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use:
Section 102 of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-
Determination Reauthorization Act of 2008 (NAHASDA) requires that an
Indian Tribe or Tribally designated housing entity for the Tribe submit
an Indian Housing Plan (IHP), form HUD-52735. The IHP provides a
description of how the Tribe or housing entity will use the Indian
Housing Block Grant (IHBG) funds to provide affordable housing for its
low to moderate income Tribal members. The IHP will be reviewed on a
limited basis to determine that the planned activities are in
compliance with NAHASDA requirements, as defined at 24 CFR Part 1000.
Section 404 of NAHASDA requires the IHBG recipient to review
progress made on implementing the IHP and submit an Annual Performance
Report (APR), form HUD-52735-AS. The APR is to include a description of
how the IHBG funds were used and to correlate the uses of the funds to
the goals and objectives in the IHP. The regulations authorize HUD to
extend the APR due date if the recipient submits a justified request.
The information in the APR will be used to review the recipient's
progress in implementing the IHP, determine if the activities are
eligible and to determine if the recipient has the capacity to continue
implementing the IHP in a timely manner. The information in the APR
also will be used to provide Congress, stakeholders, and other
interested parties with information on how the IHBG funds are being
used to meet affordable housing needs within Native American
communities.
Throughout the year, the recipient is to submit quarterly a Federal
Cash Transactions Report (HUD-272-I) that provides a snapshot of the
grant funds drawn from the recipient's line of credit (Title 24 CFR
85.41 (c)). HUD uses the financial information to monitor IHBG
expenses, investments, and activities.
Participants in the IHBG program are responsible for notifying HUD
of changes to the Formula Current Assisted Stock (FCAS) component of
the IHBG formula. HUD is notified of changes in the FCAS through a
Formula Response Form (HUD-4117), as defined at 24 CFR 1000.302. A
Tribe, TDHE, or HUD may challenge the data from the U.S. Decennial
Census or provide an alternative source of data by submitting the
Guidelines for Challenging U.S. Decennial Census Data Document (HUD-
4119). Census challenges are due June 15 of each fiscal year, as
defined at 24 CFR 1000.336. This information collection is required of
participants in the IHBG program to demonstrate compliance with
eligibility and other requirements of NAHASDA; provision of correction
or challenge documentation of the formula calculation; and provision of
data for HUD's annual report to Congress. The information gathered will
be used to allocate funds under the IHBG program. The quality assurance
of data reported is a very important issue in maintaining HUD's
databases used to monitor participant's proposed plans,
accomplishments, determine program compliance, and to ensure fair and

the conveyances and conversions of units has resulted in the recouping
of funds. The information collected will allow HUD to accurately audit
the program.
