| Title: Reduction of the Number of Acceptable Documents and Other Changes to Employment Verification Requirements | |
| Abstract: On September 30, 1996, the President signed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA). Section 412(a) of IIRIRA requires a reduction in the number of documents that may be accepted in the employment verification process. Section 412(d) clarifies the applicability of section 274A to the Federal Government. Section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act requires agencies to review rules that have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities every 10 years. The Service is conducting this review in conjunction with IIRIRA implementation. This proposed rulemaking implements sections 412(a) and (d) of IIRIRA and proposes other changes to the employment verification process identified through that review. A revised Form I-9 is included with the proposed rulemaking. ^PIt should be noted that this action supersedes the previously published regulatory plan titled "Reduction in the Number of Documents Accepted for Employment Verification." In order to avoid confusion, this regulatory action is being referenced under the current RIN, which captures all prior actions related to employment verification. | |

| Additional Information: The deadline for implementing section 412(a) of IIRIRA has been extended to March 31, 1998 by P.L. 105-54. This rulemaking has been delayed by the need to coordinate implementation with other provisions of IIRIRA, by several complex policy and regulatory issues that have taken time to resolve, and by the review required by section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. ^PINS No. 1890-97; PL 104-208, title 4. ^PINS Nos. 1399 and 1399S-94, Control of Employment of Aliens, Supplemental Rule; Action for INS No. 1399 and 1399S is canceled as a result of IIRIRA requirements. ^PINS No. 1399E is an extracted portion of INS No. 1399, published separately to allow for the production of a new, more secure Employment Authorization Document. ^PINS No. 1713-95, Demonstration Project for Electronic I-9s, contact Bob Reed, (202) 514-2998. ^PInterim Rule INS No. 1818 was published on 9/30/97 at 62 FR 51001 to maintain the status quo as much as possible until the Service completes the more comprehensive document reduction initiative designated by INS No. 1890-97 | |
