Extension of the Designation of 

Nicaragua for Temporary Protected 

Status and Automatic Extension of 

Employment Authorization 

Documentation for Nicaraguan TPS 

Beneficiaries 

AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services, Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This Notice announces that 

the Secretary of Homeland Security 

(Secretary) has extended the designation 

of Nicaragua for temporary protected 

status (TPS) for 18 months from its 

current expiration date of July 5, 2010, 

through January 5, 2012. This Notice 

also sets forth procedures necessary for 

nationals of Nicaragua (or aliens having 

no nationality who last habitually 

resided in Nicaragua) with TPS to reregister and to apply for an extension of 

their employment authorization 

documents (EADs) with U.S. 

Citizenship and Immigration Services 

(USCIS). Re-registration is limited to 

persons who previously registered for 

TPS under the designation of Nicaragua 

and whose applications have been 

granted or remain pending. Certain 

nationals of Nicaragua (or aliens having 

no nationality who last habitually 

resided in Nicaragua) who have not 

previously applied for TPS may be 

eligible to apply under the late initial 

registration provisions. 

New EADs with a January 5, 2012, 

expiration date will be issued to eligible 

TPS beneficiaries who timely re-register 

and apply for EADs. Given the 

timeframes involved with processing 

TPS re-registration applications, the 

Department of Homeland Security 

recognizes the possibility that all reregistrants may not receive new EADs 

until after their current EADs expire on 

July 5, 2010. Accordingly, this Notice 

automatically extends the validity of 

EADs issued under the TPS designation 

of Nicaragua for 6 months, through 

January 5, 2011, and explains how TPS 

beneficiaries and their employers may 

determine which EADs are 

automatically extended. 

DATES: The extension of the TPS 

designation of Nicaragua is effective 

July 6, 2010, and will remain in effect 

through January 5, 2012. The 60-day reregistration period begins May 5, 2010, 

and will remain in effect until July 6, 

2010.

What is Temporary Protected Status? 

• TPS is an immigration status 

granted to eligible nationals of a country 

designated for TPS under the Act (or to 

persons without nationality who last 

habitually resided in the designated 

country). 

• During the period for which the 

Secretary has designated a country for 

TPS, TPS beneficiaries are eligible to 

remain in the United States and may 

obtain work authorization, so long as 

they continue to meet the terms and 

conditions of their TPS status. 

• The granting of TPS does not lead 

to permanent resident status. 

• When the Secretary terminates a 

country’s TPS designation, beneficiaries 

return to the same immigration status 

they maintained before TPS (unless that 

status has since expired or been 

terminated) or to any other status they 

may have obtained while registered for 

TPS. 

What authority does the Secretary of 

Homeland Security have to extend the 

designation of Nicaragua for TPS? 

Section 244(b)(1) of the Immigration 

and Nationality Act (the Act), 8 U.S.C. 

1254a(b)(1), authorizes the Secretary, 

after consultation with appropriate 

agencies of the government, to designate 

a foreign State (or part thereof) for TPS.1


sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
24738 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 86 / Wednesday, May 5, 2010 / Notices 

2002 (HSA), Public Law 107–296, 116 Stat. 2135, 

any reference to the Attorney General in a provision 

of the Immigration and Nationality Act describing 

functions transferred under the HSA from the 

Department of Justice to the Department of 

Homeland Security ‘‘shall be deemed to refer to the 

Secretary’’ of Homeland Security. See 6 U.S.C. 557 

(2003) (codifying HSA, tit. XV, sec. 1517). 

The Secretary may then grant TPS to 

eligible nationals of that foreign State 

(or aliens having no nationality who last 

habitually resided in that State). Section 

244(a)(1)(A) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 

1254a(a)(1)(A). 

At least 60 days before the expiration 

of a TPS designation, the Secretary, after 

consultation with appropriate agencies 

of the government, must review the 

conditions in a foreign State designated 

for TPS to determine whether the 

conditions for the TPS designation 

continue to be met and, if so, must 

determine the length of an extension of 

the TPS designation. Section 

244(b)(3)(A), (C) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 

1254a(b)(3)(A), (C). If the Secretary 

determines that the foreign State no 

longer meets the conditions for the TPS 

designation, the Secretary must 

terminate the designation. Section 

244(b)(3)(B) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 

1254a(b)(3)(B). 

When was Nicaragua designated for 

TPS? 

On January 5, 1999, the Attorney 

General designated Nicaragua for TPS 

based on an environmental disaster 

within that country, specifically the 

devastation resulting from Hurricane 

Mitch. 64 FR 526. See section 

244(a)(b)(1)(B) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 

1254a(b)(1)(B). The last extension of 

TPS for Nicaragua was announced on 

October 1, 2008, based on the 

Secretary’s determination that the 

conditions warranting the designation 

continued to be met. 73 FR 57138. This 

announcement is the ninth extension of 

TPS for Nicaragua. 

Why is the Secretary extending the TPS 

designation for Nicaragua through 

January 5, 2012? 

Over the past year, DHS and the 

Department of State (DOS) have 

continued to review conditions in 

Nicaragua. Based on this review, and 

after consulting with the Department of 

State, the Secretary has determined that 

an 18-month extension is warranted 

because there continues to be a 

substantial, but temporary, disruption of 

living conditions in Nicaragua resulting 

from Hurricane Mitch, and Nicaragua 

remains unable, temporarily, to 

adequately handle the return of its 

nationals. 

Hurricane Mitch resulted in the loss 

of thousands of lives, displacement of 

thousands more, collapse of physical 

infrastructure, and severe damage to the 

country’s economic system. See 64 FR 

526 (Jan. 5, 1999) (discussing 

devastation caused by Hurricane Mitch). 

The government and people of 

Nicaragua continue to rely heavily on 

international assistance, and recovery 

from Hurricane Mitch is still 

incomplete. 

Nicaragua has not fully recovered 

from Hurricane Mitch. The regions most 

devastated by Hurricane Mitch, the 

mountainous north and the isolated 

Atlantic coast, continue to be the 

poorest and least developed in the 

country. Most rural roads in these 

regions have not been properly 

rehabilitated since Hurricane Mitch. 

Despite Millennium Challenge 

Corporation-sponsored road projects in 

some of the more populous areas of 

eastern Chinandega Department along 

the Honduran border, rural feeder roads 

remain in poor condition. They remain 

impassible during the rainy season. A 

significant number of the 90 health 

centers and 400 health posts in isolated 

rural areas destroyed by Mitch have not 

been rebuilt. Some of the over 500 

primary schools that suffered structural 

damage due to Mitch are still unusable. 

In addition, more recent natural 

disasters have slowed the recovery from 

Hurricane Mitch. In September 2007, 

Hurricane Felix, a category 5 storm, 

struck the area affected by Hurricane 

Mitch and was followed by heavy rains 

and flooding. More than 20,450 homes, 

along with 100 schools, clinics, 

community centers, and churches were 

destroyed, and 130 people died. 

Tropical depression Alma followed in 

May 2008 and further exacerbated the 

damage caused by the earlier storms. 

Nicaragua continues to suffer from 

chronic poverty and food 

insufficiencies, which have 

compounded recovery challenges. 

Environmental disasters have destroyed 

over 100,000 acres of crops. In addition, 

continued environmental disasters have 

damaged water supplies, leaving whole 

communities lacking potable water. 

According to the United Nations World 

Food Programme (WFP), these recurring 

environmental disasters destroyed the 

country’s economic base. 

Approximately 48% of the population 

lives below the poverty line, and 

approximately 17% live in extreme 

poverty. 

Nicaragua is also currently unable to 

handle adequately the return of 

thousands of its nationals who now 

have TPS in the United States, but no 

other immigration status. Their return 

would aggravate Nicaragua’s 

deteriorating economy by increasing 

unemployment already exacerbated by 

the recent global economic crisis. 

Economic development has also been 

hindered and disrupted by electoral 

fraud and weak and poorly constructed 

infrastructure, such as the poor 

condition of rural roads. Nicaragua 

remains ill-equipped to handle 

adequately the return of Nicaraguans 

currently in the United States who are 

TPS beneficiaries. 

Based on this review and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Government agencies, the Secretary 

finds that: 

• The conditions that prompted the 

January 5, 1999, designation of 

Nicaragua for TPS continue to be met. 

See section 244(b)(3)(A) of the Act, 8 

U.S.C. 1254a(b)(3)(A). 

• There continues to be a substantial, 

but temporary, disruption in living 

conditions in Nicaragua as the result of 

an environmental disaster. See section 

244(b)(1)(B) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 

1254a(b)(1)(B). 

• Nicaragua continues to be unable, 

temporarily, to adequately handle the 

return of its nationals (or aliens having 

no nationality who last habitually 

resided in Nicaragua). See section 

244(b)(1)(B) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 

1254a(b)(1)(B). 

• The designation of Nicaragua for 

TPS should be extended for an 

additional 18-month period. See section 

244(b)(3)(C) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 

1254a(b)(3)(C). 

• There are approximately 3,000 

nationals of Nicaragua (or aliens having 

no nationality who last habitually 

resided in Nicaragua) who are eligible 

for TPS under this extended 

designation. 

Notice of Extension of the TPS 

Designation of Nicaragua 

By the authority vested in me as 

Secretary of Homeland Security under 

section 244 of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 1254a, 

I have determined after consultation 

with the appropriate government 

agencies that the conditions that 

prompted designation of Nicaragua for 

temporary protected status (TPS) on 

January 5, 1999, continue to be met. See 

section 244(b)(3)(A) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 

1254a(b)(3)(A). On the basis of this 

determination, I am extending the TPS 

designation of Nicaragua for 18 months

Employment Authorization Document 

(EAD) 

May I request an interim EAD at my 

local USCIS office? 

No. USCIS will not issue interim 

EADs to TPS applicants and reregistrants at local offices. 

Am I eligible to receive an automatic 

6-month EAD extension from July 6, 

2010, through January 5, 2011? 

To receive an automatic 6-month 

extension of your EAD: 

• You must be a national of Nicaragua 

(or an alien having no nationality who 

last habitually resided in Nicaragua) 

who has applied for and received an 

EAD under the designation of Nicaragua 

for TPS, and 

• You have not had TPS withdrawn 

or denied. 

This automatic extension is limited to 

EADs issued on Form I–766, 

Employment Authorization Document, 

bearing an expiration date of July 5, 

2010. These EADs must also bear the 

notation ‘‘A–12’’ or ‘‘C–19’’ on the face of 

the card under ‘‘Category.’’ 

What documents may a qualified 

individual show to his or her employer 

as proof of employment authorization 

and identity when completing Form I–9? 

During the first six months of this 

extension, qualified individuals who 

have received a 6-month automatic 

extension of their EADs by virtue of this 

Federal Register notice may present 

their extended TPS-based EADs, as 

described above, to their employers as 

proof of identity and employment 

authorization through January 5, 2011. 

To minimize confusion over this 

extension at the time of hire or reverification, qualified individuals may 

also present a copy of this Federal 

Register notice regarding the automatic 

extension of employment authorization 

documentation through January 5, 2011. 

After January 5, 2011, TPS 

beneficiaries may present their EADs on 

Form I–766 with an extension date of 

January 5, 2012, to their employers as 

proof of employment authorization and 

identity. The EAD will bear the notation 

‘‘A–12’’ or ‘‘C–19’’ on the face of the card 

under ‘‘Category.’’ After January 5, 2011, 

employers may not accept EADs that no 

longer have a valid date. 

Employers should not request proof of 

Nicaraguan citizenship. Employers 

should accept the EADs as valid ‘‘List A’’ 

documents. Employers should not ask 

for additional Form I–9 documentation 

if presented with an EAD that has been 

automatically extended or a new valid 

EAD pursuant to this Federal Register 

notice, and the EAD reasonably appears 

on its face to be genuine and to relate 

to the employee. Employees also may 

present any other legally acceptable 

document or combination of documents 

listed on the Form I–9 as proof of 

identity and employment eligibility.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Public Assistance Program provides, 

following a Presidentially-declared 

major disaster or emergency, 

supplemental Federal disaster grant 

assistance for the repair, replacement, or 

restoration of disaster damaged, 

publicly-owned facilities and the 

facilities of certain Private Non-Profit 

(PNP) organizations. To be eligible 

under the Public Assistance Program, 

work must be required as the result of 

the emergency or major disaster, be 

located within the designated area, and 

be the legal responsibility of an eligible 

applicant. Emergency work that must be 

performed to reduce or eliminate an 

immediate threat to life, to protect 

public health and safety, and to protect 

improved property that is threatened in 

a significant way as a result of the major 

disaster or emergency includes debris 

removal. 

This policy was developed to provide 

guidance for determining the eligibility 

of debris removal from navigable 

waterways, the coastal and inland 

zones, and wetlands under the Public 

Assistance Program. Recent disaster 

activity, including Hurricanes Katrina 

and Ike, demonstrated the need for 

additional guidance to clarify the roles 

and responsibilities of FEMA, the U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and 

the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) in 

removing debris, wreckage, and sunken 

vessels from waterways. This policy 

draws upon recent disaster experience 

in delineating eligibility for debris 

removal from waterways under the 

Public Assistance Program. The USACE 

and USCG reviewed and provided input 

on this policy. 

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 5170b, 5173, and
