Abstract: Section 401(b) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA); Section 401(b) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA); Public Law. 104-208, dated September 30, 1996, provided for the establishment of a Basic Pilot Program to last 4 years. The Basic Pilot Program's operation has been repeatedly extended by Congress; See Basic Pilot Extension Act, Public Law 107-128 (2002); Basic Pilot Program Extension and Expansion Act, Public Law 108-156 (2003); Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2009, Public Law 110-329 (2008). DHS renamed the Basic Pilot "E-Verify" in August 2007. The E-Verify Program allows employers to electronically verify the employment eligibility status of newly hired employees by matching information provided by employees on the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, against existing information contained in the Verification Information System (VIS), a composite information system that checks against Social Security Administration (SSA), Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of State.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The decrease in the estimated time burden hours is attributed to the launch of the E-Verify I-9 NextGen pilot program. There was a decrease in number of respondents receiving existing user annual training and the number of respondents receiving new user training is now included, but this did not increase the over number of responses or estimated time burden hours. The number of queries and initial cases decreased due to the NextGen pilot program impacts, such as reducing the amount of queries to be completed within E-Verify by employers. There is no change to the total estimated cost burden to respondents.
