Resumo

On September 15, 1997, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) published a notice in the Federal Register describing pilot programs that are required by section 403 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA). The pilots include: (1) The Basic Pilot--requiring participating employers to verify employment authorization for all new employees, regardless of citizenship; (2) the Citizen Attestation Pilot; and (3) the Machine-Readable Document Pilot. The purpose of this notice is to announce to interested members of the public a meeting on the current status of the evaluation of the Pilots and to solicit comments and suggestions on the proposed methodology for the Basic Pilot.
