The purpose of this information collection is to comply with section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act). Title VII of the Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008 (CNRA), extends the immigration laws of the United States to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). As of November 28, 2009, employers, recruiters, and referrers for a fee (hereafter referred to as employers) in the CNMI must verify the identity and employment authorization of each employee they hire, regardless of the individual’s citizenship. The current employment eligibility verification form (Form I-9) does not contain any employment authorization documents that certain aliens in the CNMI, who will continue to be authorized to work under CNMI law after November 28, 2009, can present. To allow CNMI employers to comply with section 274A of the Act as amended by the CNRA, we must provide a separate form, designated as the Form I-9 CNMI, Employment Eligibility Verification. The Form I-9 CNMI contains special instructions only for CNMI employers and employees, and lists the documents that certain alien workers may use to demonstrate employment authorization in the CNMI.
