Extension of Designation of Rwanda

Under Temporary Protected Status

Program

AGENCY: Immigration and Naturalization

Service, Justice.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice extends, until

December 6, 1996, the Attorney

General’s designation of Rwanda under

the Temporary Protected Status (‘‘TPS’’)

program provided for in section 244A of

the Immigration and Nationality Act, as

amended (‘‘the Act’’). Accordingly,

eligible aliens who are nationals of

Rwanda, or who have no nationality and

who last habitually resided in Rwanda,

may re-register for Temporary Protected

Status and extension of employment

authorization. This re-registration is

limited to persons who already have

registered for the initial period of TPS

which ended on June 6, 1995.

EFFECTIVE DATES: This extension of

designation is effective on June 7, 1996,

and will remain in effect until December

6, 1996. The primary re-registration

procedures become effective on June 10,

1996, and will remain in effect until

July 9, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ronald Chirlin, Adjudications Officer,

Immigration and Naturalization Service,

Room 3214, 425 I Street, NW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under

section 244A of the Act, as amended by

section 302(a) of Public Law 101–649

and section 304(b) of Public Law 102–

232 (8 U.S.C. 1254a), the Attorney

General is authorized to grant

Temporary Protected Status in the

United States to eligible aliens who are

nationals of a foreign state designed by

the Attorney General, or who have no

nationality and who last habitually

resided in that state. The Attorney

General may designate a state upon

finding that the state is experiencing

ongoing armed conflict, environmental

disaster, or certain other extraordinary

and temporary conditions that prevent

nationals or residents of the country

from returning in safety.

Effective on June 7, 1994, the

Attorney General designated Rwanda for

Temporary Protected Status for a period

of 12 months, 59 FR 29440. The

Attorney General extended the

designation of Rwanda under the TPS

program for an additional 12-month

period until June 6, 1996, 60 FR 27790.

This notice extends the designation of

Rwanda under the Temporary Protected

Status program for an additional 6

months, in accordance with sections

244A(b)(3) (A) and (C) of the Act. This

notice also describes the procedures

which eligible aliens who are nationals

of Rwanda, or who have no nationality

and who last habitually resided in

Rwanda, must comply with in order to

re-register for TPS.

In addition to timely re-registrations

and late re-registrations authorized by

this notice’s extension of Rwanda’s TPS

designation, late initial registrations are

possible for some Rwandans under 8

CFR 240.2(f)(2). Such late initial

registration must have been

‘‘continuously physically present’’ in

the United States since June 7, 1994,

must have had a valid immigrant or

non-immigrant status during the

original registration period, and must

register no later than 30 days from the

expiration of such status. An

Application for Employment

Authorization, Form I–765, must always

be filed as part of either a re-registration

or as part of a late initial registration

together with the Application for

Temporary Protected Status, Form I–

821. The appropriate filing fee must

accompany Form I–765 unless a
