AGENCY: ACTION: Notice. This notice announces that the Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary) is amending the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List by adding one qualifying field of study and a corresponding Department of Education Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code for that field. The list is used to determine whether a degree obtained by certain F–1 nonimmigrant students following the completion of a program of study qualifies as a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) degree as determined by DHS, as required for the F–1 student to be eligible to apply for a 24-month extension of their post-completion optional practical training (OPT). SUMMARY: DHS adopts the list announced in this notice as of July 23, 2024. DATES: What action is DHS taking under this notice? The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is updating the list of STEM fields of study that fall within the regulatory definition of ‘‘STEM field’’ to add one field of study.1 The list, known as the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List (‘‘STEM list’’),2 is used to determine whether a degree obtained by an F–1 nonimmigrant student qualifies as a STEM degree, as required for the F– 1 nonimmigrant student to be eligible to apply for a STEM OPT extension. The current format of the STEM list, which consists of four primary CIP code series designated at the two-digit level, and CIP codes in related fields designated at the six-digit level, was established in a final rule issued in 2016.3 The STEM list was most recently updated in 2023.4 Why is DHS taking this action? In 2016, DHS published a final rule providing a 24-month extension of OPT for F–1 nonimmigrant students who majored in a designated STEM field of study. See 81 FR 13040 (Mar. 11, 2016) (‘‘Improving and Expanding Training Opportunities for F–1 Nonimmigrant Students With STEM Degrees and CapGap Relief for All Eligible F–1 Students’’) (‘‘2016 STEM Rule’’). The 2016 STEM Rule stated that DHS will continue to accept for consideration suggested additions or deletions to the STEM list and may publish updates to the STEM list in the Federal Register. DHS announced the addition of qualifying fields of study to the STEM list in Federal Register notices published in 2022 (see 87 FR 3317 (Jan. 21, 2022)) and 2023 (see 88 FR 44381 (July 12, 2023)). These notices also included instructions for how interested parties, including members of the public, can nominate CIP codes for potential inclusion on or removal from the STEM list. Following publication of the 2023 Federal Register notice, DHS received a total of 133 nominations, representing 68 unique fields of study, to be added to the STEM list.5 DHS did not receive any nominations to remove CIP codes currently on the list. Nominators may resubmit a nomination FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sharon Snyder, Unit Chief, Policy and Response Center Unit, Student and Exchange Visitor Program; U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 500 12th Street SW, Stop 5600, Washington, DC 20536–5600; email: sevp@ice.dhs.gov, telephone: (703) 603– 3400.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 1 While the 2016 STEM Rule provided for ‘‘additions or deletions to the list,’’ no deletions will be made at this time. 2 ICE, DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List, https://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/ stemList2023.pdf (last visited June 6, 2024). 3 See 81 FR 13040, Mar. 11, 2016. 4 See 88 FR 44381, July 12, 2023. 5 These included nominations for medical fields focused on patient care and for business fields of study. Beginning with the 2016 STEM Rule (81 FR 13040, 13075), DHS has generally declined ‘‘to define ‘STEM field’ to include patient care and business fields of study.’’ E:\FR\FM\23JYN1.SGM 23JYN1
