ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: On March 15, 2013, President
Obama issued a memorandum to the
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet
Napolitano directing her to extend for
an additional 18 months the deferred
enforced departure (DED) of certain
Liberians and to provide for work
authorization during that period. The
DED extension runs from April 1, 2013,
through September 30, 2014. This notice
provides instructions for eligible
Liberians on how to apply for the full
18-month extension of employment
authorization. Finally, this notice
provides instructions for DED-eligible
Liberians on how to apply for
permission to travel outside the United
States during the 18-month DED period.
USCIS will issue new employment
authorization documents (EADs) with a
September 30, 2014 expiration date to
Liberians whose DED has been extended
under the Presidential Memorandum of
March 15, 2013, and who apply for
EADs under this extension. Given the
timeframes involved with processing
EAD applications, DHS recognizes that
not all DED-eligible Liberians will
receive new EADs before their current
EADs expire on March 31, 2013.
Accordingly, this notice also
automatically extends for 6 months
(through September 30, 2013) the
validity of DED-related EADs that have
an expiration date of March 31, 2013
and explains how Liberians covered
under DED and their employers may
determine which EADs are
automatically extended and their impact
on Employment Eligibility Verification
(Form I–9) and E-Verify processes.
DATES: The 6-month automatic
extension of employment authorization
for Liberians who are covered under
DED, including the extension of their
EADs as specified in this notice, is
effective on April 1, 2013. This
automatic extension expires on
September 30, 2013. The 18-month
extension of DED is valid through
September 30, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Presidential Memorandum Extending
DED for Certain Liberians
Pursuant to his constitutional
authority to conduct the foreign
relations of the United States, President
Obama has directed that Liberian
nationals (and eligible persons without
nationality who last resided in Liberia)
who are physically present in the
United States, have continuously
resided in the United States since
October 1, 2002, and who remain
eligible for DED through March 31, 2013
be provided DED for an additional 18month period. See Presidential
Memorandum—Deferred Enforced
Departure for Liberians, March 15, 2013
(‘‘Presidential Memorandum’’) at https://
m.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/
2013/03/15/presidential-memorandumdeferred-enforced-departure-liberians.
Only individuals who held TPS under
the former Liberia TPS designation as of
September 30, 2007 are eligible for DED,
provided they have continued to meet
all other eligibility criteria established
by the President. The President also
directed the Secretary of Homeland
Security (Secretary) to implement the
necessary steps to authorize
employment authorization for eligible
Liberians for 18 months from April 1,
2013 through September 30, 2014.
