IER offers language interpretation in 

numerous languages. Employers may 

also email IER at IER@usdoj.gov or get 

more information online at 

www.justice.gov/ier. 

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@

uscis.dhs.gov. USCIS accepts calls in 

English, Spanish and many other 

languages. Employees or job applicants 

may also call the U.S. Department of 

Justice, Civil Rights Division, Immigrant 

and Employee Rights Section (IER) 

Worker Hotline at 800–255–7688 (TTY 

800–237–2515) for information 

regarding employment discrimination 

based on 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’’ (mismatch) must 

promptly inform employees of the 

mismatch and give such employees an 

opportunity to take action to resolve the 

mismatch. A mismatch 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 or 

lower pay, or take any adverse action 

against an employee because of a 

mismatch while the case is still pending 

with E-Verify. 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 

IER website at https://www.justice.gov/ 

ier and the USCIS and E-Verify websites 

at https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central and 

https://www.e-verify.gov. 

Note Regarding Federal, State, and 

Local Government Agencies (Such as 

Departments of Motor Vehicles) 

For Federal purposes, if you present 

an automatically extended EAD 

referenced in this Federal Register 

notice, you do not need to show any 

other document, such as a Form I–797C, 

Notice of Action reflecting receipt of a 

Form I–765 EAD renewal application or 

this Federal Register notice, to prove 

that you qualify for this extension. 

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 a TPS 

beneficiary, show you are authorized to 

work based on TPS or other status, or 

that may be used by DHS to determine 

if you have TPS or another immigration 

status. Examples of such documents are: 

• Your current EAD with a TPS 

category code of A–12 or C–19, even if 

your country of birth noted on the EAD 

does not reflect the TPS designated 

country of Afghanistan; 

• Your Form I–94, Arrival/Departure 

Record; 

• Your Form I–797, Notice of Action, 

reflecting approval of your Form I–765; 

or 

• Form I–797 or Form I–797C, Notice 

of Action, reflecting approval or receipt 

of a past or current Form I–821, if you 

received one from USCIS. 

Check with the government agency 

requesting documentation regarding 

which document(s) the agency will 

accept. Some state and local government 

agencies use the SAVE program to 

confirm the current immigration status 

of applicants for public benefits. 

While SAVE can verify that an 

individual has TPS, each agency’s 

procedures govern whether they will 

accept an unexpired EAD, Form I–797, 

Form I–797C, or Form I–94, Arrival/ 

Departure Record. If an agency accepts 

the type of TPS-related document you 

present, such as an EAD, the agency 

should accept your automatically 

extended EAD, regardless of the country 

of birth listed on the EAD. It may assist 

the agency if you: 

a. Give the agency a copy of the 

relevant Federal Register notice 

showing the extension of TPS-related 

documentation in addition to your 

recent TPS-related document with your 

A-number, USCIS number, or Form I–94 

number; 

b. Explain that SAVE will be able to 

verify the continuation of your TPS 

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 verifying your TPS. 

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 TPS-related 

documentation. 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 https://save.uscis.gov/casecheck/. 

CaseCheck is a free service that lets you 

follow the progress of your SAVE 

verification case using your date of birth 

and one immigration identifier number 

(such as A-number, USCIS number, or 

Form I–94 number) or Verification Case 

Number. If an agency has denied your 

application based solely or in part on a 

SAVE response, the agency must offer 

you the opportunity to appeal the 

decision in accordance with the 

agency’s procedures. If the agency has 

received and acted on or will act on a 

SAVE verification and you do not 

believe the SAVE response is correct, 

the SAVE website, https://

www.uscis.gov/save, has detailed 

information on how to make corrections 

or update your immigration record, 

make an appointment, or submit a 

written request to correct records.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in 

Section A. 

The Federal Register notice that 

solicited public comment on the 

information collection for a period of 60 

days was published on March 10, 2023 

at 88 FR 15061. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: Study 

of Child Care in Public Housing: PHA 

and ECE Center Interviews Data 

Collection. 

OMB Approval Number: 2528–New. 

Type of Request: New collection. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

purpose of this proposed information 

collection is to interview key 

stakeholders and HUD assisted families 

to support the Study of Childcare in 

Public Housing. This is a multi-site 

study including six Public Housing 

Authorities (PHAs) in three states. 

Individual interviews will be 

conducted with key stakeholders and 

PHA residents in each of the six sites.1

These interviews are key to our 

understanding of the Early Care and 

Education (ECE) needs, preferences, and 

use of families in PHA-owned housing. 

Furthermore, these interviews will help 

us better understand the barriers and 

facilitators to operating co-located PHA 

and ECE programs. 

Stakeholder interviews: Within each 

site, a key set of stakeholders will be 

identified through the landscape scan. 

Key stakeholders will include those 

involved in the operations of either a 

PHA, an ECE program, or a co-located 

ECE program in PHA housing in a given 

community. Within each site, we 

anticipate conducting up to 16 

stakeholder interviews with a mix of 

virtual or in-person interviews, 

depending on the preferences of the 

stakeholders and local public health 

guidelines.2 Potential stakeholders may 

include: PHA directors, PHA resident 

advisory board members, PHA 

supportive service staff, Head Start 

grantee directors, Pre-K directors, child 

care resource and referral centers, state 

child care subsidy office directors, and 

state Head Start Collaboration Office 

directors. 

We anticipate conducting semistructured interviews with key 

stakeholders. Interview questions will 

address, but not be limited to, the 

following topics: (1) Whether there is a 

co-located ECE; (2) If there is a colocated ECE, processes for licensure and 

quality rating assessments (if 

applicable); (3) Facilitators and 

challenges with operating co-located 

ECE (as applicable); (4) How local ECE 

policies effect the colocation of ECE and 

PHAs; (5) How PHAs support families 

in accessing ECE; (6) Proximity of ECE 

programs to PHA (e.g., whether the 

program is in a child care desert or 

location with many options available); 

and (7) Characteristics of local ECE 

programs (e.g., cost, capacity, licensure 

status, ages served, home- or centerbased, and hours of operation). 

PHA resident interviews: In-depth 

interviews are critical to understanding 

sensitive topics that people might be 

reluctant to discuss in a group. Given 

our previous experience with qualitative 

data collection in various housing 

programs and contexts, we anticipate 

that individual interviews will allow us 

to better understand the specific needs 

and experiences of families. We plan to 

work closely with resident advisory 

boards and key stakeholders in each site 

to identify the best process for recruiting 

families to participate in the study. 

Recruitment strategies will be 

responsive to local contexts and 

sensitive to families’ preferences. We 

anticipate recruiting families with 

diverse needs and experiences, 

including variation in child age, 

employment status, and childcare 

arrangements. We will work with the 

resident advisory board, as applicable, 

to vet interview questions prior to data 

collection. 

We anticipate conducting semistructured interviews with residents. 

Interview questions will address, but 

not be limited to, the following topics: 

(1) ECE needs, preferences, and use; (2) 

What families look for in terms of the 

quality of care; (3) Facilitators and 

barriers to accessing ECE (e.g., cost, 

location, etc.), (4) Interest and use of colocated ECE programs; and (5) Support 

received from PHAs in accessing ECE. 

This Federal Register Notice provides 

an opportunity to comment on the data 

collection instruments and associated 

materials to be administered to the 

participants in the Study of Childcare in 

Public Housing. 

Respondents: Public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

With some exceptions, the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), 

prohibits activities that constitute take 

of listed species unless a Federal permit 

is issued that allows such activity. The 

ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes 

hunting, shooting, harming, wounding, 

or killing, and also such activities as 

pursuing, harassing, trapping, capturing, 

or collecting. 

The ESA and our implementing 

regulations in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) at title 50, part 17, 

provide for issuing such permits and 

require that we invite public comment 

before issuing permits for activities 

involving listed species. 

A recovery permit we issue under the 

ESA, section 10(a)(1)(A), authorizes the 

permittee to conduct activities with 

endangered or threatened species for 

scientific purposes that promote 

recovery or enhance the species’ 

propagation or survival. These activities 

often include such prohibited actions as 

capture and collection. Our regulations 

implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for 

these permits are found at 50 CFR 17.22 

for endangered wildlife species, 50 CFR 

17.32 for threatened wildlife species, 50 

CFR 17.62 for endangered plant species, 

and 50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant 

species. 

Permit Applications Available for 

Review and Comment 

Documents and other information 

submitted with these applications are 

available for review by any party who 

submits a request as specified in 

ADDRESSES. Our release of documents is 

subject to Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) 

and Freedom of Information Act (5 

U.S.C. 552) requirements.
