Services 

Reinstatement of Deferred Enforced 

Departure and Continuation of 

Employment Authorization and 

Automatic Extension of Existing 

Employment Authorization Documents 

for Eligible Liberians 

AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services (USCIS), 

Department of Homeland Security. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On January 20, 2021, 

President Biden issued a memorandum 

to the Secretary of Homeland Security 

(Secretary) directing the Secretary to 

reinstate Deferred Enforced Departure 

(DED) for eligible Liberians, and to 

provide for continued work 

authorization through June 30, 2022. 

Eligible Liberian nationals (and persons 

without nationality who last habitually 

resided in Liberia) covered under DED 

as of January 10, 2021 may remain in 

the United States through June 30, 2022. 

This notice extends through June 30, 

2022 employment authorization for 

Liberians covered under DED and also 

automatically extends DED-related 

Employment Authorization Documents 

(EADs) for those who already have an 

EAD with a printed expiration date of 

March 30, 2020 or January 10, 2021. The 

reinstatement of DED for Liberians is 

intended to allow additional time for 

eligible Liberians to apply for 

adjustment of status on or before 

December 20, 2021 under the extension 

of the Liberian Refugee Immigration 

Fairness (LRIF) provision in section 901 

of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 

2021. Liberians who apply for 

adjustment of status under LRIF may 

immediately apply for employment 

authorization consistent with that 

provision. 

DATES: DED and employment 

authorization for individuals covered 

under DED for Liberians is extended 

through June 30, 2022. Automatically 

extended DED-related EADs, as 

specified in this notice, expire after June 

30, 2022.

Purpose of This Action 

Pursuant to the President’s 

constitutional authority to conduct the 

foreign relations of the United States, 

President Biden has concluded that 

foreign policy considerations warrant a 

reinstatement of DED for Liberians 

through June 30, 2022.1 Through this 

notice, as directed by the President, 

DHS is extending DED and employment 

authorization for covered Liberians 

through June 30, 2022 and automatically 

extending the validity of DED-related 

EADs bearing a printed expiration date 

of March 30, 2020 or January 10, 2021 

through June 30, 2022.2 The President 

authorized the reinstatement of DED to 

allow for continued employment 

authorization for individuals covered 

under DED. Liberians who apply for 

adjustment of status on or before 

December 20, 2021 under the extension 

of the LRIF provision in section 901 of 

the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 

2021 may immediately apply for 

employment authorization consistent 

with that provision. See Consolidated 

Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2021,

Section 7611, available at https://

The extension of the LRIF provision in 

section 901 of the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2021 did not 

provide for continued employment 

authorization for DED-covered 

individuals who have not yet applied 

for adjustment of status. Therefore, the 

President directed that DED be 

reinstated for eligible Liberians and 

certain other persons without 

nationality who were covered by DED 

for Liberians to provide for their 

continued employment authorization 

through June 20, 2022 while they apply 

for adjustment of status under LRIF. See 

Presidential Memorandum for the 

Secretary of State and the Secretary of 

Homeland Security on Reinstating 

Deferred Enforced Departure for 

Liberians January 20, 2021, available at: 

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefingroom/presidential-actions/2021/01/20/ 

reinstating-deferred-enforced-departurefor-liberians/. This notice also explains 

how Liberians covered under DED and 

their employers may determine which 

EADs are automatically extended and 

how this impacts the Employment 

Eligibility Verification (Form I–9), EVerify, and USCIS Systematic Alien 

Verification for Entitlements Program 

(SAVE) processes. Note that DED only 

applies to individuals who have 

continuously resided in the United 

States since October 1, 2002, and who 

held Temporary Protected Status (TPS) 

on September 30, 2007, under the TPS 

designation for Liberia, which 

terminated on that date. Id.; see also 71 

FR 55000 (Sept. 20, 2006) (termination 

of TPS Liberia notice). 

Employment Authorization and 

Eligibility 

How will I know if I am eligible for 

employment authorization under the 

Presidential Memorandum that 

reinstated DED for eligible Liberians? 

The procedures for employment 

authorization in this notice apply only 

to individuals who are Liberian 

nationals (and persons without 

nationality who last habitually resided 

in Liberia) who: 

• Have continuously resided in the 

United States since October 1, 2002; 

• Held TPS on September 30, 2007, 

the termination date of a former TPS 

designation for Liberia; and 

• Were covered under DED for 

Liberians as of January 10, 2021. 

This DED reinstatement does not 

include any individual: 

• Who would be ineligible for TPS for 

the reasons set forth in section 

244(c)(2)(B) of the Immigration and 

Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1254a(c)(2)(B); 

• Who sought or seeks LPR status 

under the LRIF provision but whose 

applications have been or are denied by 

the Secretary; 

• Whose removal the Secretary 

determines is in the interest of the 

United States, subject to the LRIF 

provision and other applicable law; 

• Whose presence or activities in the 

United States the Secretary of State has 

reasonable grounds to believe would 

have potentially serious adverse foreign 

policy consequences for the United 

States; 

• Who has voluntarily returned to 

Liberia or his or her country of last 

habitual residence outside the United 

States for an aggregate period of 180 

days or more, as specified in subsection 

(c) of the LRIF provision; 

• Who was deported, excluded, or 

removed prior to January 20, 2021; or 

• Who is subject to extradition. 

Does this Federal Register notice 

automatically extend my current EAD 

through June 30, 2022? 

Regardless of your country of birth, if 

you are a national of Liberia (or a person 

having no nationality who last 

habitually resided in Liberia), you were 

covered under DED for Liberians as of 

January 10, 2021, and you are an 

individual approved for DED by the 

President, this notice automatically 

extends your DED-based EAD with a 

marked expiration date of March 30, 

2020, or January 10, 2021 bearing the 

notation A–11 on the front of the card 

under ‘‘Category,’’ though June 30, 2022. 

This means that your EAD is valid 

through June 30, 2022, even though its 

marked expiration date has passed. 

When hired, what documentation may I 

show to my employer as evidence of 

identity and employment authorization 

when completing Form I–9? 

You can find the Lists of Acceptable 

Documents on the third page of Form I– 

9 as well as the Acceptable Documents 

web page at www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/ 

acceptable-documents. Employers must 

complete Form I–9 to verify the identity 

and employment authorization of all 

new employees. Within 3 days of hire, 

employees must present acceptable 

documents to their employers as 

evidence of identity and employment 

authorization to satisfy Form I–9 

requirements. 

You may present any document from 

List A (which provides evidence of both 

identity and employment authorization) 

or one document from List B (which 

provides evidence of your identity) 

together with one document from List C 

(which provides evidence of 

employment authorization), or you may 

present an acceptable receipt as 

described in the Form I–9 Instructions. 

Employers may not reject a document 

based on a future expiration date. You 

can find additional information about 

Form I–9 on the I–9 Central web page 

at www.uscis.gov/I-9Central. 

An EAD is an acceptable document 

under List A. See the section ‘‘How do 

my employer and I complete Form I–9 

using my automatically extended EAD 

for a new job?’’ of this Federal Register 

notice for further information. If your 

EAD has an expiration date of March 30, 

2020 or January 10, 2021 on its face, and 

states A–11 under ‘‘Category,’’ it has 

been extended automatically consistent 

with the President’s directive and by 

this Federal Register notice, and you 

may choose to present this EAD to your 

employer as proof of identity and 

employment eligibility for Form I–9 

through June 30, 2022. To minimize 

confusion over this extension at the 

time of hire, you may also show your 

employer a copy of this Federal Register 

notice confirming the extension of your 

employment authorization through June 

30, 2022. See the section ‘‘How do my 

employer and I complete Form I–9 using 

my automatically extended EAD for a 

new job?’’ for further information. As an 

alternative to presenting your 

automatically extended EAD, you may 

choose to present any other acceptable 

document from List A, a combination of 

one selection from List B and one 

selection from List C, or an acceptable 

receipt. 

What documentation may I present to 

my employer for Form I–9 if I am 

already employed but the expiration 

date listed on my current DED-related 

EAD has passed? 

Even though your EAD has been 

automatically extended, your employer 

is required by law to ask you about your 

continued employment authorization. If 

your employer did not keep a copy of 

your EAD when you initially presented 

it, your employer may need to re-inspect 

your automatically extended EAD to 

check the ‘‘Card Expires’’ date and 

‘‘Category’’ code. In this situation 

presented, your employer should update 

the EAD expiration date in Section 2 of 

Form I–9. See the section ‘‘What 

corrections should my current employer 

make to Form I–9 if my employment 

authorization has been automatically

extended?’’ of this Federal Register 

notice for further information. You may 

show this Federal Register notice to 

your employer to explain what to do for 

Form I–9 and to show that your EAD 

has been automatically extended 

through June 30, 2022. 

The last day of the automatic 

extension for your EAD is June 30, 2022. 

Before you start work on July 1, 2022, 

your employer is required by law to 

reverify your employment authorization 

in Section 3 of Form I–9. At that time, 

you must present any document from 

List A or any document from List C on 

Form I–9, Lists of Acceptable 

Documents, or an acceptable List A or 

List C receipt described in the Form I– 

9 Instructions, to reverify your 

employment authorization. 

If your original Form I–9 was a 

previous version, your employer must 

complete Section 3 of the current 

version of Form I–9, and attach it to 

your previously completed Form I–9. 

Your employer can check the I–9 

Central web page at www.uscis.gov/I9Central for the most current version of 

Form I–9. 

Your employer may not specify which 

List A or List C document you must 

present and cannot reject an acceptable 

receipt. 

Can I obtain a new EAD? 

Yes, if you remain eligible for DED, 

you can obtain a new EAD, regardless of 

whether you have had an EAD 

previously; however, you do not need to 

apply for a new EAD to benefit from this 

automatic extension. If you are currently 

covered under DED and want to obtain 

a new DED-based EAD valid through 

June 30, 2022, then you must file Form 

I–765, Application for Employment 

Authorization, and pay the associated 

fee. If you are currently covered under 

DED and are eligible for permanent 

resident status under LRIF, you may file 

Form I–765 concurrently with or after 

you file Form I–485, Application to 

Register Permanent Residence or Adjust 

Status. You may be eligible for a fee 

waiver, if you meet the eligibility 

criteria. See Form I–912, Request for Fee 

Waiver. 

Can my employer require that I provide 

any other documentation to prove my 

status, such as proof of my Liberian 

citizenship? 

No. When completing Form I–9, 

including reverifying employment 

authorization, employers must accept 

any documentation that appears on the 

Form I–9 Lists of Acceptable Documents 

that reasonably appears to be genuine 

and that relates to you, or an acceptable 

List A, List B, or List C receipt. 

Employers do not need to reverify List 

B identity documents. Employers may 

not request documentation that does not 

appear on the Lists of Acceptable 

Documents. Therefore, employers may 

not request proof of Liberian citizenship 

when completing Form I–9 for new 

hires or reverifying the employment 

authorization of current employees. If 

presented with an EAD that has been 

automatically extended, employers 

should accept such document as a valid 

List A document, as long as the EAD 

reasonably appears to be genuine and 

relates to the employee. Refer to the 

‘‘Note to Employees’’ section of this 

Federal Register notice for important 

information about your rights if your 

employer rejects lawful documentation, 

requires additional documentation, or 

otherwise discriminates against you 

based on your citizenship or 

immigration status, or your national 

origin. 

What happens after June 30, 2022, for 

purposes of employment authorization? 

After June 30, 2022, employers may 

no longer accept EADs that are 

automatically extended under this 

Federal Register notice and employees 

will need to present other evidence of 

continued work authorization. 

What can I do to adjust status based on 

LRIF? 

Individuals who are eligible for 

permanent resident status under LRIF 

and who wish to prevent a gap in 

employment authorization should 

submit their completed Form I–485 and 

associated Form I–765 as early as 

possible. Liberian nationals applying to 

adjust status under LRIF must properly 

file Form I–485, and USCIS must 

receive Form I–485, by December 20, 

2021.3 For more information on 

applying for adjustment of status under 

LRIF, see https://www.uscis.gov/greencard/green-card-eligibility/liberianrefugee-immigration-fairness. 

How do my employer and I complete 

Form I–9 using an automatically 

extended EAD for a new job? 

When using an automatically 

extended EAD to complete Form I–9 for 

a new job on or before June 30, 2022, for 

Section 1, you should: 

a. Check ‘‘An alien authorized to work 

until’’ and enter June 30, 2022 as the 

expiration date; and 

b. Enter your USCIS Number or ANumber where indicated (your EAD or 

other document from DHS will have 

your USCIS number or A-Number 

printed on it; the USCIS Number is the 

same as your A-Number without the A 

prefix). 

For Section 2, your employer should: 

a. Determine if the EAD is autoextended by ensuring it is in Category 

A–11 and has a ‘‘Card Expires’’ date of 

March 30, 2020 or January 10, 2021; 

b. Write in the document title; 

c. Enter the issuing authority; 

d. Enter the document number; and 

e. Write June 30, 2022 as the 

expiration date. 

Before the start of work on July 1, 

2022, employers must reverify the 

employee’s employment authorization 

in Section 3 of Form I–9. 

What corrections should my current 

employer make to Form I–9 if my EAD 

has been automatically extended? 

If you presented an unexpired DEDrelated EAD when you first started your 

job and your EAD has now been 

automatically extended, your employer 

may need to reinspect your current EAD 

if your employer does not have a copy 

of the EAD on file. Your employer 

should determine if your EAD is 

automatically extended by ensuring that 

it contains Category A–11 and has a 

Card Expires date of March 30, 2020 or 

January 10, 2021. If your employer 

determines that your EAD has been 

automatically extended, your employer 

should update Section 2 of your 

previously completed Form I–9 as 

follows: 

a. Write EAD Ext. and June 30, 2022 

as the expiration date in the Additional 

Information field; and 

b. Initial and date the correction. 

Note: This is not considered a 

reverification. Employers do not need to 

complete Section 3 until either this 

notice’s automatic extension of EADs 

has ended or the employee presents a 

new document to show continued 

employment authorization, whichever is 

sooner. By July 1, 2022, when the 

employee’s automatically extended EAD 

has expired, employers are required by 

law to reverify the employee’s 

employment authorization in Section 3. 

If your original Form I–9 was a previous 

version, your employer must complete 

Section 3 of the current version of Form 

I–9 and attach it to your previously 

completed Form I–9. Your employer can 

check the I–9 Central web page at 

www.uscis.gov/I-9Central for the most 

current version of Form I–9. 

If I am an employer enrolled in E-Verify, 

how do I verify a new employee whose 

EAD has been automatically extended? 

Employers may create a case in EVerify for a new employee by providing 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
9534 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 29 / Tuesday, February 16, 2021 / Notices 

the Document number from Form I–9 in 

the Document Number field in E-Verify. 

If I am an employer enrolled in E-Verify, 

what do I do when I receive a ‘‘Work 

Authorization Documents Expiration’’ 

alert for an automatically extended 

EAD? 

E-Verify automated the verification 

process for DED-related EADs that are 

automatically extended. If you have 

employees who provided a DED-related 

EAD when they first started working for 

you, you will receive a ‘‘Work 

Authorization Documents Expiring’’ 

case alert when the auto-extension 

period for this EAD is about the expire. 

Before this employee starts work on July 

1, 2022, you must reverify his or her 

employment authorization in Section 3 

of Form I–9. Employers should not use 

E-Verify for reverification. 

Note to All Employers 

Employers are reminded that the laws 

requiring proper employment eligibility 

verification and prohibiting unfair 

immigration-related employment 

practices remain in full force. This 

Federal Register notice does not 

supersede or in any way limit 

applicable employment verification 

rules and policy guidance, including 

those rules setting forth reverification 

requirements. For general questions 

about the employment eligibility 

verification process, employers may call 

USCIS at 888–464–4218 (TTY 877–875– 

6028) or email USCIS at I-9Central@

dhs.gov. USCIS accepts calls and emails 

in English and many other languages. 

For questions about avoiding 

discrimination during the employment 

eligibility verification process (Form I– 

9 and E-Verify), employers may call the 

U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights 

Division, Immigrant and Employee 

Rights Section (IER) Employer Hotline 

at 800–255–8155 (TTY 800–237–2515). 

IER offers language interpretation in 

numerous languages. Employers may 

also email IER at IER@usdoj.gov. 

Note to Employees 

For general questions about the 

employment eligibility verification 

process, employees may call USCIS at 

888–897–7781 (TTY 877–875–6028) or 

email USCIS at I-9Central@dhs.gov. 

USCIS accepts calls in English, Spanish 

and many other languages. Employees 

or applicants may also call the IER 

Worker Hotline at 800–255–7688 (TTY 

800–237–2515) for information 

regarding employment discrimination 

based upon citizenship, immigration 

status, or national origin, including 

discrimination related to Form I–9 and 

E-Verify. The IER Worker Hotline 

provides language interpretation in 

numerous languages. 

To comply with the law, employers 

must accept any document or 

combination of documents from the 

Lists of Acceptable Documents if the 

documentation reasonably appears to be 

genuine and to relate to the employee, 

or an acceptable List A, List B, or List 

C receipt as described in the Form I–9 

Instructions. Employers may not require 

extra or additional documentation 

beyond what is required for Form I–9 

completion. Further, employers 

participating in E-Verify who receive an 

E-Verify case result of ‘‘Tentative 

Nonconfirmation’’ (TNC) must promptly 

inform employees of the TNC and give 

such employees an opportunity to 

contest the TNC. A TNC case result 

means that the information entered into 

E-Verify from Form I–9 differs from 

records available to DHS. 

Employers may not terminate, 

suspend, delay training, withhold pay, 

lower pay, or take any adverse action 

against an employee because of the TNC 

while the case is still pending with EVerify. A ‘‘Final Nonconfirmation’’ 

(FNC) case result is received when EVerify cannot confirm an employee’s 

employment eligibility. An employer 

may terminate employment based on a 

case result of FNC. Work-authorized 

employees who receive an FNC may call 

USCIS for assistance at 888–897–7781 

(TTY 877–875–6028). For more 

information about E-Verify-related 

discrimination or to report an employer 

for discrimination in the E-Verify 

process based on citizenship, 

immigration status, or national origin, 

contact IER’s Worker Hotline at 800– 

255–7688 (TTY 800–237–2515). 

Additional information about proper 

nondiscriminatory Form I–9 and EVerify procedures is available on the

Note Regarding Federal, State, and 

Local Government Agencies (Such as 

Departments of Motor Vehicles) 

For Federal purposes, individuals 

covered under DED for Liberians 

presenting an EAD referenced in this 

Federal Register notice do not need to 

show any other document, such as an I– 

797, Notice of Action, to prove that they 

qualify for this extension. However, 

while Federal Government agencies 

must follow the guidelines laid out by 

the Federal Government, state and local 

government agencies establish their own 

rules and guidelines when granting 

certain benefits. Each state may have 

different laws, requirements, and 

determinations about what documents 

you need to provide to prove eligibility 

for certain benefits. Whether you are 

applying for a Federal, state, or local 

government benefit, you may need to 

provide the government agency with 

documents that show you are covered 

under DED and/or show you are 

authorized to work based on DED. 

Examples of such documents are: 

• Your current EAD; 

• Your automatically extended EAD 

with a copy of this Federal Register 

notice, providing an automatic 

extension of your EAD; and/or 

• A copy of the notice of approval of 

your past Application for Temporary 

Protected Status Form I–797, Notice of 

Action, if you received one from USCIS, 

coupled with a copy of the January 20, 

2021, Presidential Memorandum 

reinstating DED for Liberians. 

Check with the government agency 

regarding which document(s) the agency 

will accept. Some benefit-granting 

agencies use the SAVE program to 

confirm the current immigration status 

of applicants for public benefits. While 

SAVE can verify when an individual 

has DED, each agency’s procedures 

govern whether they will accept a 

particular document, such as an EAD or 

an I–94. If an agency accepts the type of 

DED-related document you are 

presenting, such as an EAD, the agency 

should accept your automatically 

extended DED-related EAD. You should: 

a. Present the agency with a copy of 

this Federal Register notice showing the 

extension of DED and of your DEDrelated EAD with your alien number; 

b. Explain that SAVE will be able to 

verify the continuation of your DED 

using this information; and 

c. Ask the agency to initiate a SAVE 

query with your information and follow 

through with additional verification 

steps, if necessary, to get a final SAVE 

response confirming your DED. 

You can also ask the agency to look 

for SAVE notices or contact SAVE if 

they have any questions about your 

immigration status or automatic 

extension of your DED-related EAD. In 

most cases, SAVE provides an 

automated electronic response to 

benefit-granting agencies within 

seconds, but, occasionally, verification 

can be delayed. You can check the 

status of your SAVE verification by 

using CaseCheck at save.uscis.gov/ 

casecheck/, then by clicking the ‘‘Check 

Your Case’’ button. CaseCheck is a free 

service that lets you follow the progress 

of your SAVE verification using your 

date of birth and one immigration 

identifier number. If an agency has 

denied your application based solely or 

in part on a SAVE response, the agency

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

instituted this investigation under 

section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (‘‘section 

337’’), based on a complaint filed by 

Lashify, Inc. of Glendale, California 

(‘‘Complainant’’). See 85 FR 68366–67. 

The complaint, as supplemented, 

alleges a violation of section 337 based 

upon the importation into the United 

States, sale for importation, or sale after 

importation into the United States of 

certain artificial eyelash extension 

systems, products, and components 

thereof by reason of infringement of 

certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 

10,660,388 and 10,721,984 and U.S. 

Design Patent Nos. D877,416 and 

D867,664. The complaint also alleges 

the existence of a domestic industry. 

The notice of investigation names nine 

respondents, including CVS Health 

Corporation of Woonsocket, Rhode 

Island and Ulta Beauty, Inc. of 

Bolingbrook, Illinois. See id. The Office 

of Unfair Import Investigations is also a 

party to the investigation. See id. 

On January 8, 2021, Complainant filed 

a motion seeking leave to amend the 

complaint and notice of investigation to 

substitute: (1) CVS Pharmacy, Inc. in 

place of CVS Health Corporation and (2) 

Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc. 

in place of Ulta Beauty, Inc. No 

responses to the motion were filed. 

On January 22, 2021, the ALJ issued 

the subject ID (Order No. 10) granting 

Complainant’s motion for leave to 

amend the complaint and notice of 

investigation to reflect the substitutions. 

Order No. 10 (Jan. 22, 2021). The subject 

ID finds that Complainant’s motion is 

supported by good cause pursuant to 

Commission Rule 210.14(b) (19 CFR 

210.14(b)) and that there is no prejudice 

if the motion is granted. No party 

petitioned for review of the subject ID. 

The Commission has determined not 

to review the subject ID. CVS Pharmacy, 

Inc. and Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & 

Fragrance, Inc. are named as 

respondents in this investigation; and 

CVS Health Corporation and Ulta 

Beauty, Inc. are terminated from the 

investigation. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on February 

10, 2021. 

The authority for the Commission’s 

determination is contained in section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in Part 

210 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part 

210).
