Notice. AGENCY: ACTION: Under Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) may approve petitions for H–2A and H–2B nonimmigrant status only for nationals of countries that the Secretary of Homeland Security, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, has designated by notice published in the Federal Register. That notice must be renewed each year. This notice announces that the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State, is identifying 58 countries whose nationals are eligible to participate in the H–2A and H–2B programs for the coming year. New countries on this year’s list include Haiti, Iceland, Montenegro, Spain, and Switzerland. DATES: Effective Date: This notice is effective January 18, 2012, and shall be without effect at the end of one year after January 18, 2012. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Francis Cissna, Office of Policy, Department of Homeland Security, Washington, DC 20528, (202) 447–3835. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: USCIS generally may approve H–2A and H–2B petitions only for nationals of countries that the Secretary of Homeland Security, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, has designated as participating countries. Such designation must be published as a notice in the Federal Register and expires after one year. USCIS may, however, allow a national from a country not on the list to be named as a beneficiary of an H–2A or H–2B petition based on a determination that such participation is in the U.S. interest. See 8 CFR 214.2(h)(5)(i)(F) and 8 CFR 214.2(h)(6)(i)(E). In designating countries to include on the list, the Secretary of Homeland tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:07 Jan 17, 2012 Jkt 226001 Security, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, will take into account factors including, but not limited to: (1) The country’s cooperation with respect to issuance of travel documents for citizens, subjects, nationals, and residents of that country who are subject to a final order of removal; (2) the number of final and unexecuted orders 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 77,043 (Dec. 18, 2008); 73 FR 77,729 (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 December 18 and December 19, 2008, and added 11 additional countries. See 75 FR 2,879 (Jan. 19, 2010). A notice in the Federal Register on January 18, 2011, ‘‘Identification of Foreign Countries Whose Nationals Are Eligible to Participate in the H–2A and H–2B Programs,’’ provided for the continued eligibility of 38 of the countries listed in the 2010 notice, removed Indonesia from the list, as Indonesia was not meeting the standards set forth in the regulation, and added 15 countries. See 76 FR 2,915 (Jan. 18, 2011). The Secretary of Homeland Security has determined, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, that the 53 countries previously designated in the January 18, 2011 notice continue to meet the standards identified in that notice for eligible countries and PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 therefore should remain designated as countries whose nationals are eligible to participate in the H–2A and H–2B programs. Further, the Secretary of Homeland Security, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, has determined that it is now appropriate to add five additional countries to the list of 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 also 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 Haiti, Iceland, Montenegro, Spain, and Switzerland 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 non-immigrant worker programs: Argentina Australia Barbados Belize Brazil Bulgaria Canada Chile Costa Rica Croatia Dominican Republic Ecuador El Salvador Estonia Ethiopia Fiji Guatemala Haiti Honduras Hungary Iceland Ireland Israel Jamaica E:\FR\FM\18JAN1.SGM 18JAN1
