Official abstract

On December 17, 2008, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published an interim rule in the Federal Register amending its regulations governing the types of acceptable identity and employment authorization documents and receipts for completion of the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. On February 3, 2009, USCIS delayed the effective date of the interim rule until April 3, 2009. On February 23, 2009, DHS published a final rule that amended the same section of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) as the interim rule, resulting in an inadvertent error in the interim rule's amendatory language. This document corrects that inadvertent error.
