Forms I-9

AGENCY: Immigration and Naturalization Service, Justice.

ACTION: Notice extending deadline for submission of applications.

SUMMARY: The Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) published 
a notice in the Federal Register on November 30, 1995 at 60 FR 61630. 
The notice provided application requirements and guidance to 
businesses, consortium of businesses, or other employing entities which 
might be interested in participating in a demonstration project dealing 
with the electronic production and/or storage of a Form I-9, Employment 
Eligibility Verification Form. The proposed demonstration project 
discussed in the notice was the result of numerous inquiries made by 
members of the business community expressing a desire to electronically 
produce and/or store the Form I-9.
    This subsequent notice serves to inform the public that the Service 
has decided to extend the deadline for applications for the 
demonstration project. This extension is in response to the 
considerable number of requests the Service has received from the 
business community to allow for additional time to prepare 
applications.

DATES: Written applications, responding to all of the Application 
Requirements and Criteria cited in the November 30, 1995 Federal 
Register notice published at 60 FR 61630, or available on the Internet 
at gopher:justice.usdoj.gov, must be submitted on or before March 8, 
1996.

Immigration and Naturalization Service, 425 I Street, NW., Room 1000, 
Washington, DC 20536, Attention: Form I-9 Demonstration Project.
