Requiring the same reports for all 

handlers does not significantly 

disadvantage any handler that is smaller 

than the industry average.

Findings and Determinations 

The findings and determinations 

hereinafter set forth supplement those 

that were made when the Arizona-Las 

Vegas order was first issued and when 

it was amended. The previous findings 

and determinations are hereby ratified 

and confirmed, except where they may 

conflict with those set forth herein. 

The following findings are hereby 

made with respect to the Arizona-Las 

Vegas order: 

(a) Findings upon the basis of the 

hearing record. A public hearing was 

held upon certain proposed 

amendments to the tentative marketing 

agreement and to the order regulating 

the handling of milk in the Arizona-Las 

Vegas marketing area. The hearing was 

held pursuant to the provisions of the 

Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act 

of 1937, as amended (7 U.S.C. 601–674), 

and the applicable rules of practice and 

procedure (7 CFR Part 900). 

Upon the basis of the evidence 

introduced at such hearing and the 

record thereof, it is found that: 

(1) The Arizona-Las Vegas order as 

hereby amended, and all of the terms 

and conditions thereof, will tend to 

effectuate the declared policy of the Act; 

(2) The parity prices of milk, as 

determined pursuant to Section 2 of the 

Act, are not reasonable in view of the 

price of feeds, available supplies of 

feeds, and other economic conditions 

which affect market supply and demand 

for milk in the aforesaid marketing area. 

The minimum prices specified in the 

order as hereby amended are such 

prices as will reflect the aforesaid 

factors, insure a sufficient quantity of 

pure and wholesome milk, and be in the 

public interest; and 

(3) The Arizona-Las Vegas order as 

hereby amended regulates the handling 

of milk in the same manner as, and is 

applicable only to persons in the 

respective classes of industrial or 

commercial activity specified in, a 

marketing agreement upon which a 

hearing has been held. 

(b) Determinations. It is hereby 

determined that: 

(1) The refusal or failure of handlers 

(excluding cooperative associations 

specified in Sec. 8c(9) or the Act) of 

more than 50 percent of the milk that is 

marketed within the specified marketing 

area to sign a proposed marketing 

agreement tends to prevent the 

effectuation of the declared policy of the 

Act; 

(2) The issuance of this order 

amending the Arizona-Las Vegas order 

is the only practical means pursuant to 

the declared policy of the Act of 

advancing the interests of producers as 

defined by the order as hereby 

amended; 

(3) The issuance of the order 

amending the Arizona-Las Vegas order 

is favored by at least two-thirds of the 

producers who were engaged in the 

production of milk for sale in the 

marketing area. 

List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 1131 

Milk marketing orders. 

Order Relative to Handling 

It is therefore ordered, that on and 

after the effective date hereof, the 

handling of milk in the Arizona-Las 

Vegas marketing area shall be in 

conformity to and in compliance with 

the terms and conditions of the order, as 

amended, and as hereby further 

amended, as follows: 

■ The provisions of the order amending 

the order contained in the interim 

amendment of the order issued by the 

Administrator, Agricultural Marketing 

Service, on February 23, 2005, and 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 1, 2005 (70 FR 9846), are adopted 

without change and shall be and are the 

terms and provisions of this order. 

Dated: November 18, 2005.

and Reduced Course Load for Certain 

F–1 Nonimmigrant Students Adversely 

Affected by Hurricane Katrina 

AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of temporary rule 

suspension. 

SUMMARY: This document informs the 

public of the suspension of certain 

regulatory requirements for a specific 

group of F–1 nonimmigrant students 

who were enrolled in academic 

institutions located in areas that have 

been adversely affected by Hurricane 

Katrina. F–1 students who are granted 

short-term employment authorization 

pursuant to this document will be 

deemed to be engaged in a ‘‘full course 

of study’’ for the duration of their 

employment authorization, provided 

such students satisfy the minimum 

course load requirement set forth in this 

document. 

DATES: This document is effective 

November 25, 2005, and will remain in 

effect until February 1, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

What action is the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) taking under 

this Notice? 

The Secretary of Homeland Security 

is exercising his authority under 8 CFR 

214.2(f)(9) to temporarily suspend the 

applicability of certain requirements 

governing on-campus and off-campus 

employment. F–1 students, who are 

granted employment authorization 

pursuant to this Notice, will be deemed 

to be engaged in a ‘‘full course of study’’

for the duration of their employment 

authorization, provided such students 

satisfy the minimum course load 

requirement set forth in this Notice. See 

8 CFR 214.2(f)(6)(F). 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 226 / Friday, November 25, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 70993 

Who is covered by this Notice? 

This Notice applies exclusively to 

nonimmigrant aliens admitted to the 

United States in F–1 classification for 

duration of status under section 

101(a)(15)(F)(i) of the Immigration and 

Nationality Act (Act), who: (1) On 

August 29, 2005, were lawfully present 

in the United States in F–1 status and 

enrolled in an institution, which is 

approved by DHS for enrollment of F–

1 students and located in an area 

adversely affected by Hurricane Katrina; 

(2) are currently maintaining valid F–1 

status; and (3) are experiencing severe 

economic hardship as a direct result of 

Hurricane Katrina. This Notice also 

applies to nonimmigrant aliens 

admitted to the United States in F–2 

classification under section 

101(a)(15)(F)(ii) of the Act, who are the 

dependents (spouse or minor children) 

of F–1 students covered by this Notice, 

provided that the F–1 student continues 

to maintain F–1 status. 

F–1 students otherwise covered by 

this Notice, who transfer to other 

academic institutions, which are 

approved by DHS for enrollment of F–

1 students, remain eligible for the relief 

provided by means of this Notice. 

Why is DHS taking this action? 

Hurricane Katrina caused loss of life, 

caused extensive damage to property, 

and has disrupted normal activities in 

the states of Alabama, Louisiana, and 

Mississippi. Certain academic 

institutions that are located in the 

affected areas are consequently unable 

to operate normally, or at all, during the 

current academic term. Approximately 

5,500 F–1 students were enrolled in 

academic institutions located in the 

areas adversely affected by Hurricane 

Katrina. As a result of this catastrophic 

natural disaster, many of these F–1 

students are suffering severe economic 

hardship resulting from, among other 

things, costs incurred to replace lost or 

damaged possessions, and/or to transfer 

to other academic institutions. 

Moreover, many of these F–1 students 

are experiencing difficulty in satisfying 

the normal regulatory requirements for 

maintaining valid F–1 status, which 

include the pursuit of a ‘‘full course of 

study’’ pursuant to 8 CFR 214.2(f)(6). 

DHS is taking action to provide relief 

to these F–1 students so they may obtain 

short-term employment authorization, 

and consequently reduce their course 

load. 

Which academic institutions are 

covered by this Notice? 

This Notice lists the specific 

campuses of academic institutions, 

which are approved by DHS for 

enrollment of F–1 students and located 

in the areas adversely affected by 

Hurricane Katrina. In the event that 

DHS, after the publication of this 

Notice, identifies other academic 

institutions, which are approved by 

DHS for enrollment of F–1 students and 

located in areas adversely affected by 

Hurricane Katrina, DHS will extend the 

relief authorized under this Notice to 

eligible F–1 students who were enrolled 

in those academic institutions on 

August 29, 2005.

214.2(f)(6)(i)(F), F–1 students, who are 

granted employment authorization 

pursuant to this Notice, will be deemed 

to be engaged in a ‘‘full course of study’’

for the duration of their employment 

authorization, provided such students 

satisfy the minimum course load 

requirement set forth in this Notice. 

What is the minimum course load 

requirement set forth in this Notice? 

Pursuant to 8 CFR 214.2(f)(5)(v), 

undergraduate level F–1 students who 

are granted employment authorization 

pursuant to this Notice must remain 

registered for a minimum of 6 semester/ 

quarter hours of instruction per 

academic term, and graduate level F–1 

students who are granted employment 

authorization pursuant to this Notice 

must remain registered for a minimum 

of 3 semester/quarter hours of 

instruction per academic term. In 

addition, pursuant to 8 CFR 

214.2(f)(6)(i)(G), F–1 students granted 

employment authorization pursuant to 

this Notice, both at the undergraduate 

level and the graduate level, may count 

the equivalent of one class or three 

credits per semester/quarter of on-line 

or distance education toward satisfying 

this minimum course load requirement. 

How may F–1 students covered by this 

Notice obtain employment 

authorization pursuant to this Notice? 

1. On-Campus Employment 

An F–1 student covered by this 

Notice, who seeks to pursue on-campus 

employment pursuant to this Notice, 

70996 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 226 / Friday, November 25, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 

must demonstrate to the Designated 

School Official (DSO) at the academic 

institution where the F–1 student 

currently is enrolled that such 

employment is necessary to avoid 

severe economic hardship resulting 

from Hurricane Katrina. See 8 CFR 

214.2(f)(9)(i). The DSO should sign, 

date, and include the following notation 

in the student employment box on page 

3 of Form I–20: ‘‘Approved for more 

than 20 hours per week of on-campus 

employment until February 1, 2006, 

pursuant to Hurricane Katrina Special 

Student Relief.’’ By making this 

notation, the DSO certifies that the F–

1 student is covered by this Notice. 

2. Off-Campus Employment 

An F–1 student covered by this 

Notice, who seeks to pursue off-campus 

employment pursuant to this Notice, 

must file a complete Form I–765, 

Application for Employment 

Authorization, including required 

supporting documentation, with the 

USCIS Texas Service Center at: 

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration 

Services, Texas Service Center, P.O. Box 

853062, Mesquite, TX 75815–3062. 

The front of the envelope, on the 

bottom right-hand side, should include 

the following notation: ‘‘HURRICANE 

KATRINA SPECIAL STUDENT 

RELIEF.’’ Failure to include this 

notation may result in significant 

processing delays. 

An application package is complete if 

it contains: (1) A properly completed 

Form I–765, Application for 

Employment Authorization, with the 

required fee or, if the F–1 student 

believes he or she is eligible for a waiver 

of this fee, a written affidavit or 

unsworn declaration, which requests 

waiver of the fee under 8 CFR 103.7(c) 

and explains the reasons why the 

student is unable to pay the prescribed 

fee, and (2) Form I–20 with a 

recommendation for off-campus 

employment from the DSO at the 

academic institution where the F–1 

student is currently enrolled. See 8 CFR 

214.2(f)(9)(ii)(D). The DSO should sign, 

date, and include the following notation 

in the student employment box on page 

3 of Form I–20: ‘‘Approved for more 

than 20 hours per week of off-campus 

employment until February 1, 2006, 

pursuant to Hurricane Katrina Special 

Student Relief.’’ By making this 

notation, the DSO certifies that the F–

1 student is covered by this Notice. 

If U.S. Citizenship and Immigration 

Services (USCIS) approves the F–1 

student’s Form I–765, Application for 

Employment Authorization, USCIS will 

send the student a Form I–766, 

Employment Authorization Document, 

to evidence his or her employment 

authorization. The Form I–766 will 

contain an expiration date that will not 

extend beyond February 1, 2006. If 

USCIS denies the F–1 student’s Form I–

765, Application for Employment 

Authorization, USCIS will notify the 

student of the decision, and the 

reason(s) for the denial. 

Is there a cut-off date for the filing of 

a Form I–765, Application for 

Employment Authorization, pursuant to 

this Notice? 

No. DHS has not established a cut-off 

date for the filing of a Form I–765, 

Application for Employment 

Authorization, pursuant to this Notice. 

Any benefits granted by means of this 

Notice, however, will expire no later 

than February 1, 2006. While USCIS 

will exercise its best efforts to process 

such applications in as prompt a 

manner as possible, F–1 students 

applying for employment authorization 

pursuant to this Notice should bear in 

mind this expiration date when 

submitting their Forms I–765, 

Applications for Employment 

Authorization. 

Will F–2 dependents (spouse or minor 

children) of F–1 students covered by 

this Notice be eligible to apply for 

employment authorization? 

No. Pursuant to 8 CFR 214.2(f)(15)(i), 

an F–2 dependent (spouse or minor 

children) of an F–1 student, may not 

accept employment. 

Will F–1 students covered by this 

Notice be required to apply for 

reinstatement after February 1, 2006? 

No. F–1 students, who are granted 

employment authorization pursuant to 

this Notice, will be deemed to be 

engaged in a ‘‘full course of study’’ for 

the duration of their employment 

authorization, provided such 

undergraduate level F–1 students 

remain registered for a minimum of 6 

semester/quarter hours of instruction 

per academic term, and such graduate 

level F–1 students remain registered for 

a minimum of 3 semester/quarter hours 

of instruction per academic term. See 8 

CFR 214.2(f)(5)(v). Such F–1 students, 

therefore, would not be required to 

apply for reinstatement under 8 CFR 

214.2(f)(16) if they are otherwise 

maintaining F–1 status. 

How long will this Notice remain in 

effect? 

This Notice grants temporary relief to 

a specific group of F–1 students for the 

estimated length of the current 

academic term. As such, this Notice will 

remain in effect until February 1, 2006. 

During this period, DHS will continue 

to monitor the adverse impact of 

Hurricane Katrina in the affected areas 

to determine if modification or 

rescission of these special provisions is 

warranted. Should these special 

provisions be modified or rescinded 

prior to February 1, 2006, DHS will 

announce such changes in the Federal 

Register.
