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.
