Extension and Redesignation of Sierra Leone Under the Temporary Protected Status Program

On November 4, 1997, the Attorney General designated Sierra Leone under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program for a period of twelve months. This initial designation allowed eligible nationals of Sierra Leone (and aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Sierra Leone) who had continuously resided in the United States since that date to apply for TPS. This initial designation, which expired November 3, 1998, was extended last year. This notice extends the TPS designation for Sierra Leone for another twelve-month period (until November 2, 2000), and sets forth the procedures necessary for nationals of Sierra Leone (and aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Sierra Leone) with TPS to re-register for TPS program. This notice also redesignates Sierra Leone under the TPS program, thereby expanding TPS edibility to include nationals of Sierra Leone (and aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Sierra Leone) who have been ``continuously present in the United States'' and who have ``continuously resided in the United States'' since November 9, 1999.
