Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 11 / Tuesday, January 18, 2011 / Notices
of removal against citizens, subjects,
nationals, and residents of that country;
(3) the number of orders of removal
executed against citizens, subjects,
nationals, and residents of that country;
and (4) such other factors as may serve
the U.S. interest. See 8 CFR
214.2(h)(5)(i)(F)(1)(i) and 8 CFR
214.2(h)(6)(i)(E)(1).
In December 2008, DHS published in
the Federal Register two notices,
‘‘Identification of Foreign Countries
Whose Nationals Are Eligible To
Participate in the H–2A Visa Program,’’
and ‘‘Identification of Foreign Countries
Whose Nationals Are Eligible To
Participate in the H–2B Visa Program,’’
which designated 28 countries whose
nationals are eligible to participate in
the H–2A and H–2B programs. See 73
FR 77043 (Dec. 18, 2008); 73 FR 77729
(Dec. 19, 2008). The notices ceased to
have effect on January 17, 2010 and
January 18, 2010, respectively. See 8
CFR 214.2(h)(5)(i)(F)(2) and 8 CFR
214.2(h)(6)(i)(E)(3).
To allow for the continued operation
of the H–2A and H–2B programs, the
Secretary of Homeland Security
published, with the concurrence of the
Secretary of State, a notice in the
Federal Register on January 19, 2010,
‘‘Identification of Foreign Countries
Whose Nationals Are Eligible To
Participate in the H–2A and H–2B
Programs.’’ The notice provided for the
continued eligibility of the 28 countries
initially listed in the Federal Register
notices of January 17 and January 18,
2009, and added 11 additional
countries. See 75 FR 2879 (Jan. 19,
2010).
The Secretary of Homeland Security
has determined, with the concurrence of
the Secretary of State, that 38 countries
previously designated in the January 19,
2010 notice continue to meet the
standards identified in that notice for
eligible countries and therefore should
remain designated as countries whose
nationals are eligible to participate in
the H–2A and H–2B programs. The
Secretary of Homeland Security has
determined, however, with the
concurrence of the Secretary of State,
that Indonesia should no longer
continue to be designated as an eligible
country because Indonesia is not
meeting the standards set out in the
regulation. See 8 CFR
214.2(h)(5)(i)(F)(1)(i) and 8 CFR
214.2(h)(6)(i)(E)(1). Accordingly, DHS
has removed Indonesia from the list of
eligible countries.
Further, the Secretary of Homeland
Security, with the concurrence of the
Secretary of State, has determined that
it is now appropriate to add 15
additional countries to the list of
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:24 Jan 14, 2011
Jkt 223001
countries whose nationals are eligible to
participate in the H–2A and H–2B
programs. This determination is made
taking into account the four factors
identified above. The Secretary of
Homeland Security considered other
pertinent factors including, but not
limited to, evidence of past usage of the
H–2A and H–2B programs by nationals
of the countries to be added, as well as
evidence relating to the economic
impact on particular U.S. industries or
regions resulting from the addition or
continued non-inclusion of specific
countries. In consideration of all of the
above, this notice designates for the first
time Barbados, Estonia, Fiji, Hungary,
Kiribati, Latvia, Macedonia, Nauru,
Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Slovenia,
Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and
Vanuatu as countries whose nationals
are eligible to participate in the H–2A
and H–2B programs.
Designation of Countries Whose
Nationals Are Eligible To Participate in
the H–2A and H–2B Nonimmigrant
Worker Programs
Pursuant to the authority provided to
the Secretary of Homeland Security
under sections 214(a)(1), and 215(a)(1)
and 241 of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1184(a)(1),
1185(a)(1), and 1231), I have designated,
with the concurrence of the Secretary of
State, that nationals from the following
countries are eligible to participate in
the H–2A and H–2B nonimmigrant
worker programs:
Frm 00039
Fmt 4703
This notice does not affect the status
of aliens who currently hold valid H–2A
or H–2B nonimmigrant status.
Nothing in this notice limits the
authority of the Secretary of Homeland
Security or her designee or any other
Federal agency to invoke against any
foreign country or its nationals any
other remedy, penalty, or enforcement
action available by law.
Janet Napolitano,
Secretary.
