no nationality who last habitually

resided in Sudan) who have been

‘‘continuously physically present’’ and

have ‘‘continuously resided in the

United States’’ since November 4, 1997

may apply for Temporary Protected

Status within the registration period

which begins on November 4, 1997 and

ends on November 3, 1998.

(2) I estimate that there are no more

than 4,000 nationals of Sudan (and

aliens having no nationality who last

habitually resided in Sudan) who are

currently in nonimmigrant or unlawful

status and therefore eligible for

Temporary Protected Status.

(3) Except as specifically provided in

this notice, applications for TPS by

nationals of Sudan (and aliens having

no nationality who last habitually

resided in Sudan) must be filed

pursuant to the provisions of 8 CFR part

244. Aliens who wish to apply for TPS

must file an Application for Temporary

Protected Status, Form I–821, together

with an Application for Employment

Authorization, Form I–765, during the

registration period, which begins on

November 4, 1997 and will remain in

effect until November 3, 1998.

(4) A fee of fifty dollars ($50) will be

charged for each Application for

Temporary Protected Status, Form I–

821, filed during the registration period.

(5) The fee prescribed in 8 CFR

103.7(b)(1), which is currently seventy

dollars ($70), will be charged for each

Application for Employment

Authorization, Form I–765, filed by an

alien requesting employment

authorization. An alien who does not

request employment authorization must

nevertheless file Form I–765, together

with Form I–821, for informational

purposes, but in such cases Form I–765

will be without fee.

(6) Pursuant to section 244(b)(3)(A) of

the Act, the Attorney General will

review, at least 60 days before

November 3, 1998, the designation of

Sudan under the TPS program to

determine whether the conditions for

designation continue to exist. Notice of

that determination, including the basis

for the determination, will be published

in the Federal Register. If there is an

extension of designation, late initial

registration for TPS shall only be

allowed pursuant to the requirements of

8 CFR 244.2(f)(2).

(7) Information concerning the TPS

program for nationals of Sudan (and

aliens having no nationality who last

habitually resided in Sudan) will be

available at local Immigration and

Naturalization Service offices upon

publication of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Under the Job Training Partnership

Act Program, title IIB, the Department of

Labor has established the Summer

Youth Employment and Training

Program to: (1) Enhance the basic

education skills of youth; (2) encourage

school completion or enrollment in

supplementary or alternative school

programs; provide eligible youth with

exposure to the world of work; and (3)

enhance the citizenship skills of youth.

The Department of Labor is responsible

for overseeing these programs. As a part

of the Department’s oversight

responsibilities, ETA will conduct a

uniform survey of a representative

sample of service delivery areas (ADA’s)

to determine how the Department can

effectively measure customer

satisfaction. The result of this survey

will be used to assist in the

development of a comprehensive system

for assessing customer satisfaction with

the summer program.

II. Current Actions

ETA has revised its monitoring

instrument to collect more information

on customer satisfaction. This data will

be used to determine satisfaction

experiences of program participants,

work site supervisors/employers and

educational instructors. The information

obtained will permit the Department to

fulfill requests from the U.S. Congress,

the Administration, the media and the

public.
