252 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 2 / Monday, January 5, 2015 / Notices 

entered into E-Verify from Employment 

Eligibility Verification (Form I–9) differs 

from federal or state government 

records. Employers may not terminate, 

suspend, delay training, withhold pay, 

lower pay or take any adverse action 

against an employee based on the 

employee’s decision to contest a TNC or 

because the case is still pending with EVerify. A Final Nonconfirmation (FNC) 

case result is received when E-Verify 

cannot verify an employee’s 

employment eligibility. An employer 

may terminate employment based on a 

case result of FNC. Work-authorized 

employees who receive an FNC may call 

USCIS for assistance at 888–897–7781 

(TTY for the hearing impaired is at 877– 

875–6028). To report an employer that 

discriminates against an employee in 

the E-Verify process based on 

citizenship or immigration status, or 

based on national origin, contact OSC’s 

Worker Information Hotline at 800–255– 

7688 (TTY 800–237–2515). Additional 

information about proper 

nondiscriminatory Employment 

Eligibility Verification (Form I–9) and EVerify procedures is available on the 

OSC Web site at http://www.justice.gov/ 

crt/about/osc/ and the USCIS Web site 

at http://www.dhs.gov/E-verify. 

Note Regarding Federal, State, and 

Local Government Agencies (Such as 

Departments of Motor Vehicles) 

While Federal government agencies 

must follow the guidelines laid out by 

the Federal government, state and local 

government agencies establish their own 

rules and guidelines when granting 

certain benefits. Each state may have 

different laws, requirements, and 

determinations about what documents 

you need to provide to prove eligibility 

for certain benefits. Whether you are 

applying for a Federal, state, or local 

government benefit, you may need to 

provide the government agency with 

documents that show you are a TPS 

beneficiary and/or show you are 

authorized to work based on TPS. 

Examples of such documents are: 

(1) Your unexpired EAD that has been 

automatically extended, or your EAD 

that has not expired; 

(2) A copy of this Federal Register 

Notice if your EAD is automatically 

extended under this Notice; 

(3) A copy of your Application for 

Temporary Protected Status Notice of 

Action (Form I–797) for this reregistration; 

(4) A copy of your past or current 

Application for Temporary Protected 

Status Notice of Action (Form I–797), if 

you received one from USCIS; and/or 

(5) If there is an automatic extension 

of work authorization, a copy of the fact 

sheet from the USCIS TPS Web site that 

provides information on the automatic 

extension. 

Check with the government agency 

regarding which document(s) the agency 

will accept. You may also provide the 

agency with a copy of this Federal 

Register Notice. 

Some benefit-granting agencies use 

the USCIS Systematic Alien Verification 

for Entitlements Program (SAVE) to 

verify the current immigration status of 

applicants for public benefits. If such an 

agency has denied your application 

based solely or in part on a SAVE 

response, the agency must offer you the 

opportunity to appeal the decision in 

accordance with the agency’s 

procedures. If the agency has received 

and acted upon or will act upon a SAVE 

verification and you do not believe the 

response is correct, you may make an 

InfoPass appointment for an in-person 

interview at a local USCIS office. 

Detailed information on how to make 

corrections, make an appointment, or 

submit a written request can be found 

at the SAVE Web site at http://

www.uscis.gov/save, then by choosing 

‘‘How to Correct Your Records’’ from 

the menu on the right.

ACTION: Notice of receipt of applications; 

request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, invite the public to 

comment on the following applications 

to conduct certain activities with 

endangered or threatened species. The 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act), prohibits activities with 

endangered and threatened species 

unless a Federal permit allows such 

activities. Both the Act and the National 

Environmental Policy Act require that 

we invite public comment before 

issuing these permits. 

DATES: To ensure consideration, written 

comments must be received on or before 

February 4, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Susan Jacobsen, Chief, 

Division of Classification and 

Restoration, by U.S. mail at Division of 

Classification and Recovery, U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service, P.O. Box 1306,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Availability of Comments 

The Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) 

prohibits activities with endangered and 

threatened species unless a Federal 

permit allows such activities. Along 

with our implementing regulations in 

the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 

50 CFR part 17, the Act provides for 

permits, and requires that we invite 

public comment before issuing these 

permits. A permit granted by us under 

section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Act authorizes 

applicants to conduct activities with 

U.S. endangered or threatened species 

for scientific purposes, enhancement of 

survival or propagation, or interstate 

commerce. Our regulations regarding 

implementation of section 10(a)(1)(A) 

permits are found at 50 CFR 17.22 for 

endangered wildlife species, 50 CFR 

17.32 for threatened wildlife species, 50 

CFR 17.62 for endangered plant species, 

and 50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant 

species.
