Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 64 / Tuesday, April 3, 2012 / Notices
If a student has been approved for
employment authorization under TPS,
how does he or she apply for
authorization to take a reduced course
load under this notice?
There is no further application
process. The student only needs to
demonstrate economic hardship caused
by the March 1, 2011 civil unrest in
Syria to his or her DSO and receive the
DSO recommendation in SEVIS. No
other EAD will be issued.
Can a student who has been granted
TPS, and has allowed his or her F–1
status to lapse, apply for reinstatement
to F–1 student status?
Yes. Current regulations permit a
student who falls out of student status
to apply for reinstatement. See 8 CFR
214.2(f)(16). For example, this provision
would apply to a student who worked
on a TPS-related EAD or dropped his or
her course load before publication of
this notice, and therefore fell out of
student status. The student must satisfy
the criteria set forth in the student status
reinstatement regulations.

How long will this notice remain in
effect?
This notice grants temporary relief
until October 3, 2013 to a specific group
of F–1 students whose country of
citizenship is Syria. DHS will continue
to monitor the situation in Syria. Should
the special provisions authorized by this
notice need to be modified or extended,
DHS will announce such changes in the
Federal Register.
Paperwork Reduction Act
An F–1 student seeking off-campus
employment authorization due to severe
economic hardship must demonstrate to
the DSO at the school where he or she
is enrolled that this employment is
necessary to avoid severe economic
hardship. If the DSO agrees that the
student should receive such
employment authorization, he or she
must recommend application approval
to USCIS by entering information in the
remarks field of the student’s SEVIS
record. The authority to collect this
information is currently contained in
the SEVIS collection of information
currently approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under
OMB Control Number 1653–0038.
This notice also allows F–1 students
whose country of citizenship is Syria
and who are experiencing severe
economic hardship as a direct result of
civil unrest in Syria since March 1,
2011, to obtain employment
authorization, work an increased
number of hours while school is in
session, and reduce their course load,

while continuing to maintain their F–1
student status.
To apply for work authorization an F–
1 student must complete and submit
currently approved Form I–765
according to the instructions on the
form. The authority to collect the
information contained on the current
Form I–765 has previously been
approved by OMB under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) under OMB
Control No. 1615–0040. Although there
will be a slight increase in the number
of Form I–765 filings because of this
notice, the number of filings currently
contained in the OMB annual inventory
for Form I–765 is sufficient to cover the
additional filings. Accordingly, there is
no further action required under the
PRA.
Janet Napolitano,
Secretary.
