*The Standards Council of Canada
(SCC) voted to end its Laboratory
Accreditation Program for Substance
Abuse (LAPSA) effective May 12, 1998.
Laboratories certified through that
program were accredited to conduct
forensic urine drug testing as required
by U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT) regulations. As of that date, the
certification of those accredited
Canadian laboratories will continue
under DOT authority. The responsibility
for conducting quarterly performance
testing plus periodic on-site inspections
of those LAPSA-accredited laboratories
was transferred to the U.S. HHS, with
the HHS’ NLCP contractor continuing to
have an active role in the performance
testing and laboratory inspection
processes. Other Canadian laboratories
wishing to be considered for the NLCP
may apply directly to the NLCP
contractor just as U.S. laboratories do.
Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to
be qualified, HHS will recommend that
DOT certify the laboratory (Federal
Register, July 16, 1996) as meeting the
minimum standards of the Mandatory
Guidelines published in the Federal
Register on April 30, 2010 (75 FR
22809). After receiving DOT
certification, the laboratory will be
included in the monthly list of HHScertified laboratories and participate in
the NLCP certification maintenance
program.

Extension of Existing Employment
Authorization Documents for Liberians
Eligible for Deferred Enforced
Departure
U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS),
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

On September 26, 2014,
President Obama issued a memorandum
to the Secretary of Homeland Security
(‘‘Secretary’’), Jeh Charles Johnson,
directing him to extend for an
additional 24 months the deferred
enforced departure (DED) of certain
Liberians and to provide for work
authorization during that period. The
DED extension runs from October 1,
2014, through September 30, 2016. This
Notice provides instructions for eligible

Liberians on how to apply for the full
24 month extension of employment
authorization. Finally, this Notice
provides instructions for DED-eligible
Liberians on how to apply for
permission to travel outside the United
States during the 24 month DED period.
USCIS will issue new employment
authorization documents (EADs) with a
September 30, 2016 expiration date to
Liberians whose DED has been extended
under the Presidential Memorandum of
September 26, 2014, and who apply for
EADs under this extension. Given the
timeframes involved with processing
EAD applications, DHS recognizes that
not all DED-eligible Liberians will
receive new EADs before their current
EADs expire on September 30, 2014.
Accordingly, this Notice also
automatically extends for 6 months
(through March 30, 2015) the validity of
DED-related EADs that have an
expiration date of September 30, 2014,
and explains how Liberians covered
under DED and their employers may
determine which EADs are
automatically extended and their impact
on Employment Eligibility Verification
(Form I–9) and E-Verify processes.
DATES: The 24 month extension of DED
is valid through September 30, 2016.
The 6-month automatic extension of
employment authorization for Liberians
who are covered under DED, including
the extension of their EADs as specified
in this Notice, is effective on October 1,
2014, and expires on March 30, 2015.
