30-Day Notice - Importation Certificaion for Live Fish an Fish Eggs

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 208 / Monday, October 29, 2007 / Notices
How may employers determine whether
an EAD has been automatically
extended for six months through May 2,
2008, and is therefore acceptable for
completion of the Form I–9?
An EAD that has been automatically
extended for six months by this Notice
through May 2, 2008, will be a Form I–
766 bearing the notation ‘‘A–12’’ or ‘‘C–
19’’ on the face of the card under
‘‘Category,’’ and have an expiration date
of November 2, 2007, on the face of the
card. New EADs or extension stickers
showing the May 2, 2008, expiration
date of the six-month automatic
extension will not be issued. Employers
should not request proof of Burundian
citizenship.
Employers should accept an EAD as a
valid ‘‘List A’’ document and not ask for
additional Form I–9, Employment
Eligibility Verification, documentation
if presented with an EAD that has been
extended pursuant to this Federal
Register Notice, and the EAD reasonably
appears on its face to be genuine and to
relate to the employee. This does not
affect the right of an applicant for
employment or an employee to present
any legally acceptable document as
proof of identity and eligibility for
employment.
Note to Employers: Employers are
reminded that the laws requiring
employment eligibility verification and
prohibiting unfair immigration-related
employment practices remain in full force.
This Notice does not supersede or in any way
limit applicable employment verification
rules and policy guidance, including those
setting forth re-verification requirements. For
questions, employers may call the USCIS
Customer Assistance Office Employer
Hotline at 1–800–357–2099. Also, employers
may call the U.S. Department of Justice
Office of Special Counsel for Immigration
Related Unfair Employment Practices (OSC)
Employer Hotline at 1–800–255–8155.
Employees or applicants may call the OSC
Employee Hotline at 1–800–255–7688 for
information regarding the automatic
extension. Additional information is
available on the OSC Web site at http://
www.usdoj.gov/crt/osc/index.html.

How may employers determine an
employee’s eligibility for employment
once the automatic six-month extension
expires on May 2, 2008?
Eligible TPS aliens will possess an
EAD with an expiration date of May 1,
2009. The EAD will be a Form I–766
bearing the notation ‘‘A–12’’ or ‘‘C–19’’
on the face of the card under
‘‘Category,’’ and should be accepted for
the purposes of verifying identity and
employment authorization.
What documents may a qualified
individual show to his or her employer
as proof of employment authorization
and identity when completing Form I–9,
Employment Eligibility Verification?
During the first six months of this
extension, qualified individuals who
have received a six-month automatic
extension of their EADs by virtue of this
Federal Register Notice may present
TPS-based EADs to their employers, as
described above, as proof of identity and
employment authorization through May
2, 2008. To minimize confusion over
this extension at the time of hire or reverification, qualified individuals may
also present a copy of this Federal
Register Notice regarding the automatic
extension of employment authorization
documentation through May 2, 2008.
After May 2, 2008, a qualified
individual may present a new EAD
valid through May 1, 2009.
In the alternative, any legally
acceptable document or combination of
documents listed in List A, List B, or
List C of the Form I–9 may be presented
as proof of identity and employment
eligibility.

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 208 / Monday, October 29, 2007 / Notices

Abstract: The Lacey Act (18 U.S.C.
42)(Act) prohibits the possession or
importation of any animal or plant
deemed to be and prescribed by
regulation to be injurious to:
(1) Human beings;
(2) The interests of agriculture,
horticulture, and forestry; or
(3) Wildlife or the wildlife resources
of the United States.
The Department of the Interior is
charged with enforcement of this Act.
The Act and regulations at 50 CFR 16
allow for the importation of animals
classified as injurious if specific criteria
are met. To effectively carry out
responsibilities and protect the aquatic
resources of the United States, the Fish
and Wildlife Service (we, Service) must
gather information on the animals being
imported with regard to their source,
destination, and health status. It is also
imperative that we ensure the
qualifications of those individuals who
provide the fish health data upon which
we base our decision to allow
importation.
We use three forms to collect this
information:
(1) FWS Form 3–2273 (Title 50
Certifying Official Form). New
applicants and those seeking
recertification as a Title 50 certifying
official provide information so that we
can assess their qualifications.
Information includes, but is not limited
to:
(a) Name, position title, current place
of employment (with address) and work
phone number, fax number, and e-mail
address.
(b) Professional degrees.
(c) Primary duties.
(d) Areas of expertise and related
certifications.
(e) Facilities available for diagnostic
tests and available equipment.
(2) FWS Form 3–2274 (U.S. Title 50
Certification Form). The certifying
official uses this form to affirm the
health status of the fish or their
reproductive products to be imported.
Information includes, but is not limited
to:
(a) Certifying official’s name and date
of most recent certification.
(b) Number, life stage, and species of
animals or eggs.
(c) Site and date of sample collection.
(d) Name and address of laboratory
conducting the assays.
(e) Site from which the animals or
eggs will be shipped.
(f) Dates of the shipment.
(g) Means of shipment and anticipated
border crossing.
(3) FWS Form 3–2275 (Title 50
Importation Request Form). We use the
information on this form to ensure the

VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001

safety of the shipment and to track and
control importations. Information
includes, but is not limited to:
(a) Name and address of company/
agency and facility receiving animals or
eggs.
(b) Number, life stage, and species of
animals or eggs.
(c) Origin of animals or eggs.
(d) Name and address of exporter.
Comments: On July 23, 2007, we
published in the Federal Register (72 FR
40165) a notice of our intent to request
that OMB renew this information
collection. In that notice, we solicited
comments for 60 days, ending on
September 21, 2007. We did not receive
any comments.
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
(1) whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
(3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, e-mail address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment, including your personal
identifying information, may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask OMB in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that it will be done.
