        <RULE_TITLE>Classification and Clarification of Form I-9 Substantive and Technical or Procedural Paperwork Failures and Violations</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to amend its regulations to classify and clarify certain Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9) paperwork failures and violations set forth in the good faith compliance provision of section 411 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), Public Law 104-208.  This proposed rule would define a substantive violation, and a technical or procedural failure.  The proposed rule further would revise the current DHS regulations that delineate the circumstances in which an employer may be subject to penalties for substantive violations, or may not be subject to penalties for technical or procedural failures, due to the good faith compliance provision when completing the Form I-9 regardless of the method of creation, retention, and storage of the Form I-9.]]></ABSTRACT>
