SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments 

The information collection notice was 

previously published in the Federal 

Register on August 18, 2021, at 86 FR 

46263 allowing for a 60-day public 

comment period. USCIS received twelve 

comments in connection with the 60- 

day notice. 

USCIS made edits to the I–129H1 

Form and Instructions in response to 

comments. USCIS also removed form 

items and instructional language that 

were associated with the final rule 

published on January 8, 2021 titled, 

Modification of Registration 

Requirement for Petitioners Seeking To 

File Cap-Subject H–1B Petitions (86 FR 

1676) (H–1B Selection Final Rule). That 

rule was withdrawn on December 22, 

2021 via publication of a final rule in 

the Federal Register titled Modification 

of Registration Requirement for 

Petitioners Seeking To File Cap-Subject 

H–1B Petitions, Implementation of 

Vacatur (86 FR 72516), as were 

information collection elements 

associated with that rule that would 

have gone into effect had the rule not 

been withdrawn. Therefore, the form 

items and instructional language 

associated with the January 2021 final 

rule that were included in the 60-day 

notice version of Form I–129H1 are not 

being implemented.
