SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Need for Correction

On December 19, 2008, the Department of Homeland Security published a final rule in the Federal Register at 73 FR 78104 changing requirements affecting H-2B nonimmigrants and their employers. At 8 CFR 214.2, DHS inadvertently:

• Stated in amendment 5.aa that a new sentence would be added at the end of paragraph (h)(11)(i)(A) instead of saying that the last sentence of the paragraph was being revised;
• Omitted a period after the paragraph heading for paragraph (h)(6)(C); and
• Ended the sentence in paragraph (h)(11)(iii)(A)(2) with a “:” instead of a “;”.

Correction of Publication

Accordingly, the publication on December 19, 2008, at 73 FR 78104 of the interim final rule that was the subject of FR Doc. E8-30094 is corrected as follows:

PART 214-NONIMMIGRANT CLASSES

§ 214.2

[Corrected]

1. On page 78127, third column, amendment 5.aa., revise the amendatory language from “Adding a new sentence to the end of paragraph (h)(11)(i)(A)” to “Revising the last sentence of paragraph (h)(11)(i)(A)”.

2. On page 78128, second column, add a period immediately after the word “ revocation” in the heading to paragraph (h)(6)(C).

3. On page 78130, in the second column, at the end of paragraph (h)(11)(iii)(A)( 2), revise “: or” to read “; or”.

Dated: January 13, 2009.
