Immigration and Naturalization Service

[INS No. 1776–96]

Discontinuation of the Nicaraguan

Review Process

AGENCY: Immigration and Naturalization

Service, Justice.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the

extension until June 12, 1997, of the

transitional work authorization criteria

to be applied to applications filed by

Nicaraguans affected by the termination

of the Nicaraguan Review Program

(NRP) on June 13, 1995. The extension

of these criteria is designed to afford

Nicaraguans affected by the termination

of the NRP, who have yet to file a

motion to reopen their deportation

proceedings to apply for suspension of

deportation as well as those who will

not have met the seven-years physical

presence requirement for suspension of

deportation by June 12, 1996, the

opportunity to benefit from these

transitional criteria.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 5, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Robert A. Jacobson, Director, Policy

Development and Special Programs

Branch, Detention and Deportation

Division, Immigration and

Naturalization Service, 425 I Street,

NW., Room 3008, Washington, DC

20536, telephone (202) 514–2871.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

In a Federal Register Notice dated

June 13, 1995, 60 FR 31168, the INS

announced the termination of the

Nicaraguan Review Program. The INS

advised that Nicaraguans affected by the

termination of the NRP, i.e. certain

Nicaraguans who are subject to orders of
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 5, 1996 / Notices 28599

deportation that became final before

June 13, 1995, may be eligible to apply

for suspension of deportation pursuant

to section 244 of the Immigration and

Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1254, if they:

(1) Have been present in the United

States for at least 7 years; (2) are persons

of good moral character; (3) are persons

whose deportation would impose an

extreme hardship to themselves or to

their spouse, parent, or child who is

either a United States citizen or a

lawful, permanent resident. The INS

further advised that to apply for such

relief, aliens with final orders must file

a motion to reopen with the

Immigration Court pursuant to 8 CFR

3.23 and 242.22 or the Board of

Immigration Appeals (BIA) pursuant to

8 CFR 3.2 and 3.8.

The INS also announced certain

transitional criteria for the processing of

work authorization requests filed by

Nicaraguans affected by the termination

of the NRP and whose employment

authorization no longer would be

extended automatically. Specifically,

the INS provided that it would treat the

filing of a motion to reopen deportation

proceedings accompanied by an

application for suspension of

deportation as a sufficient basis upon

which such a person may apply for

work authorization. In such cases, work

authorization may be granted upon a

finding that the alien has met the

physical presence requirement for

suspension of deportation.

In an effort to moderate any lingering

disruptive effects that the termination of

the NRP may cause, the transitional

criteria for suspension-based work

authorization applications filed by

Nicaraguans subject to orders of

deportation that became final before

June 13, 1995, will be extended for one

year, through June 12, 1997. This

extension will afford Nicaraguans

affected by the termination of the NRP

who have yet to file a motion to reopen

their deportation proceedings to apply

for suspension of deportation as well as

those who will not have met the sevenyears physical presence requirement for

suspension of deportation by June 12,

1996, the opportunity to benefit from

these transitional criteria.

Dated: May 24, 1996.

Commissioner, Immigration and

Naturalization Service.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment Standards Administration

Proposed Collection; Comment

Request

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as

part of its continuing effort to reduce

paperwork and respondent burden,

conducts a preclearance consultation

program to provide the general public

and Federal agencies with an

opportunity to comment on proposed

and/or continuing collections of

information in accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This

program helps to ensure that requested

data can be provided in the desired

format, reporting burden (time and

financial resources) is minimized,

collection instruments are clearly

understood, and the impact of collection

requirements on respondents can be

properly assessed. Currently, the

Employment Standards Administration

is soliciting comments concerning the

proposed revision collection of the

Application of the Employee Polygraph

Protection Act (EPPA) of 1988.

A copy of the proposed information

collection request can be obtained by

contacting the office listed below in the

ADDRESSES section of this notice.

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted to the office listed in the

ADDRESSES section below on or before

August 8, 1996. The Department of

Labor is particularly interested in

comments which:

• Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

• Evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

• Enhance the quality, utility and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

• Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the

use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submissions

of responses.

ADDRESSES: Mr. Rich Elman, U.S.

Department of Labor, 200 Constitution

Ave., NW., Room S–3201, Washington,

DC 20201, telephone (202) 219–6375

(this is not a toll-free number), fax 202–

219–6592.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

EPPA prohibits most private

employers (Federal, State and local

governments are exempted from this

Act) from using any lie detector tests

either for preemployment screening or

during the course of employment. The

law contains certain limited exceptions

which authorize polygraph tests under

certain conditions, including (1) Testing

of employees who are reasonably

suspected of involvement in a

workplace incident that results in

economic loss or injury to the

employer’s business; (2) testing by the

Federal government of experts,

consultants, or employees of Federal

contractors engaged in national security

intelligence or counterintelligence

functions; (3) testing of some

prospective employees of private

armored car, security alarm, and

security guard firms; and (4) the testing

of some current and prospective

employees in firms authorized to

manufacture, distribute or dispense

controlled substances. Employers who

violate any of the Act’s provisions may

be assessed civil monetary penalties up

to $10,000. This information collection

is necessary to carry out this Act and

require the keeping of records necessary

or appropriate for administration of the

Act. In addition to recordkeeping

requirements which were previously

cleared under OMB 1215–0170, this

information collection contains a third

party notification which was not

previously subject to PRA.

II. Current Actions

The Department of Labor seeks the

revision approval to collect this

information in order to carry out its

responsibility to ensure that individuals

subjected to polygraph testing are

afforded the rights and protections

contained in EPPA. Failure to collect

this information would make it

extremely difficult for the Wage and

Hour Division to enforce the provisions

of the Act. Hours for third party

notification not previously in the

information collection are now

included.

Type of Review: Revision.

Agency: Employment Standards

Administration.

Title: Application of the Employee

Polygraph Protection Act of 1988.

OMB Number: 1215–0170.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households; Businesses or other forprofit; Not-for-profit institutions.
