Extension and Redesignation of Venezuela for Temporary Protected
Status--Correction
AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Department
of Homeland Security (DHS).
ACTION: Notice; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects a technical error that appears in the
USCIS notice titled ``Extension and Redesignation of Venezuela for
Temporary Protected Status'' that published in the Federal Register on
October 3, 2023. This document aligns and makes consistent the date
through which Temporary Protected Status (TPS) will be granted to
certain beneficiaries and the validity period of their related
employment authorization document (EAD). This correction only affects
individuals with an initial Venezuela TPS application (Form I-821) or
initial Venezuela TPS-related EAD application (Form I-765) that was
pending as of October 3, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 3, 2023, DHS published a notice
in the Federal Register at 88 FR 68130 titled ``Extension and
Redesignation of Venezuela for Temporary Protected Status.'' This
document makes a technical correction to that notice (FR Doc. 2023-
21865), correcting two incorrect references in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section of the notice. This document aligns the dates that
appear in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section with the dates that
appears in the DATES section.
The corrections are as follows:
(1) On page 68134, under the section ``Required Application Forms
and Application Fees To Register or Re-Register for TPS,'' USCIS is
correcting the date in the third paragraph, second sentence; and
(2) On page 68135, under the section ``How can TPS beneficiaries
obtain an Employment Authorization Document (EAD)?'' USCIS is
correcting the date in the first paragraph, sixth sentence regarding
the date through which the EAD will be valid if the Form I-765 is
approved.
In both instances, the dates should be September 10, 2025, not
April 2, 2025. The ``continuous residence'' date for applicants for TPS
under the redesignation of Venezuela remains as July 31, 2023, and is
not affected by this document.
Correction
In FR 2023-21865, Federal Register of October 3, 2023, USCIS is
correcting the following:
1. On page 68134, third column, third paragraph, second sentence
under the section ``Required Application Forms and Application Fees To
Register or Re-Register for TPS,'' is corrected to read as follows:
If USCIS approves an individual's Form I-821, USCIS will grant the
individual TPS through September 10, 2025.
2. On page 68135, second column, fourth sentence, is corrected to
read as follows:
If USCIS approves a pending TPS-related Form I-765, USCIS will
issue the individual a new EAD that will be valid through September 10,
2025.
