The Form I-9 was developed to facilitate compliance with Section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended by the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, making employment of unauthorized aliens unlawful and diminishing the flow of illegal workers in the United States.
US Code:
8 USC 1324a
Name of Law: Immigration and Nationality Act
There is an increase in the estimated burden hours as previously reported for this information collection. In Section 1 of Form I-9, DHS is adding new data fields to collect foreign passport number and country of issuance for aliens authorized to work who also record their Admission number.DHS is automating its collection of Form I-94 information for individuals seeking admission at a port of entry into the United States. In order to aid in this automation process, DHS has determined that new information must be collected, specifically foreign passport information. Collecting this information will enable DHS to more efficiently confirm the veracity of the individual's attestation in Section 1 during the course of a Form I-9 inspection and confirm the individual's employment eligibility where E-Verify is being used. In addition, DHS is adding to Section 1 new optional data fields to collect the employee's e-mail address or telephone number. This will allow DHS to contact an employee following a Form I-9 inspection or concerning his or her E-Verify case. DHS is also making some clarifying changes to the Form I-9 and the instructions to the form.As a result of these changes, the time per response has increased by 21 minutes for the respondents (previously reported .15 hours (9 minutes)) and by 2 minutes for record keepers to conduct record keeping activities (previously reported .05 hours (3 minutes), which caused the burden hours to increase by 27,900,000 hours, from 12,700,000 hours to 40,600,000 hours.
