The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is issuing a new regulation to adopt the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance codified at 2 CFR part 182.

In doing so, the Department is also removing regulations implementing the Government-wide common rule on drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance, currently located within Part 17 of Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). DATES: This final rule is effective on March 28, 2011 without further notice. Submit comments by March 28, 2011 on any unintended changes this action makes in DHS policies and procedures for drug-free workplaces. All comments or unintended changes will be considered and, if warranted, DHS will revise the rule.

When an individual uses E-Verify Self Check, he will be notified either that 1. his information matched the information contained in federal databases and he would be deemed work-authorized, or 2. his information was not matched to information contained in federal databases which would be considered a ``mismatch.'' If the information was a mismatch, he will be given instructions on where and how to correct his record(s). This newly established system will be included in the Department of Homeland Security's inventory of record systems.
