AGENCY: ACTION: This public notice provides information on how to apply for the DV–2014 Program. SUMMARY: srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Instructions for the 2014 Diversity Immigrant Visa Program (DV–2014) This notice is issued pursuant to 22 CFR 42.33(b)(3) which implements sections 201(a)(3), 201(e), 203(c), and 204(a)(1)(I) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended, (8 U.S.C. 1151, 1153, and 1154(a)(1)(I)). The congressionally mandated Diversity Immigrant Visa Program is administered on an annual basis by the Department of State and conducted based on United States law, specifically Section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). This law provides for a class of immigrants known as ‘‘diversity immigrants,’’ with visas made available to persons from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the United States. For Fiscal Year 2014, 50,000 diversity visas (DV) will be available. VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:28 Sep 27, 2012 Jkt 226001 The annual DV program makes visas available to persons meeting simple, but strict, eligibility requirements. A computer-generated, random drawing chooses selectees for DVs. The visas are distributed among six geographic regions, and within each region, no single country may receive more than seven percent of the available DVs in any one year. Visas are allocated to natives of countries with historically lower rates of U.S. immigration. Natives of countries who have sent more than 50,000 immigrants to the United States over the past five years are not eligible to apply for the Diversity Visa program. For DV–2014, natives of the following countries are not eligible to apply because the countries sent a total of more than 50,000 immigrants to the United States in the previous five years: Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China (mainland-born), Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, South Korea, United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and Vietnam. The term ‘‘country’’ in this notice includes countries, economies, and other jurisdictions explicitly listed at the end of these instructions. Persons born in Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, and Taiwan are eligible. Changes in eligibility this year: For DV–2014, natives of Guatemala are now eligible for selection. The Department of State implemented the electronic registration system beginning with DV–2005 in order to make the DV process more efficient and secure. The Department utilizes special technology and other means to identify PO 00000 Frm 00103 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 those who commit fraud for the purposes of illegal immigration or those who submit multiple entries. Diversity Visa Registration Period Entries for the DV–2014 DV program must be submitted electronically between noon, Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) (GMT–4), Tuesday, October 2, 2012, and noon, Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) (GMT–4), Saturday, November 3, 2012. Applicants may access the electronic DV Entry Form (E–DV) at www.dvlottery.state.gov during the registration period. Paper entries will not be accepted. We strongly encourage applicants not to wait until the last week of the registration period to enter. Heavy demand may result in Web site delays. No entries will be accepted after noon, EDT, on November 3, 2012. Requirements for Entry To enter the DV program, you must be a native of one of the listed countries. In most cases, this means the country in which you were born. However, there are two other ways you may be able to qualify. First, if you were born in a country whose natives are ineligible but your spouse was born in a country whose natives are eligible, you can claim your spouse’s country of birth— provided that both you and your spouse are on the selected entry, are issued visas, and enter the United States simultaneously. Second, if you were born in a country whose natives are ineligible, but neither of your parents was born there or resided there at the time of your birth, you may claim nativity in one of your parents’ countries of birth if it is a country E:\FR\FM\28SEN1.SGM 28SEN1

uses form SSA-7011-F4 to document the alleged wages. Specifically, the 
agency uses the form to resolve discrepancies in the individual's 
Social Security earnings record and to process claims for Social 
Security benefits. We only send Form SSA-7011-F4 to employers if we are 
unable to locate the earnings information in our own records. The 
respondents are employers who can verify wage allegations made by wage 
earners.

    2. Request for Deceased Individual's Social Security Record--20 CFR 
402.130--0960-0665. When a member of the public requests an 
individual's Social Security record, SSA needs the name and address of 
the requestor as well as a description of the requested record to 
process the request. SSA uses the information the respondent provides 
on Form SSA-711, or via an Internet request through SSA's electronic 
Freedom of Information Act (eFOIA) Web site, to (1) verify the wage 
earner is deceased and (2) access the correct Social Security record. 
Respondents are members of the public requesting deceased individuals' 
Social Security records.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.
