SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Justice (Department) 
published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal 
Register on August 15, 2016, proposing to revise its regulations 
implementing section 274B of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 
concerning unfair immigration-related employment practices. 81 FR 
53965(August 15, 2016). The NPRM proposed to conform the Department's 
regulations to the statutory text as amended, simplify and add 
definitions of statutory terms, update and clarify the procedures for 
filing and processing charges of discrimination, ensure effective 
investigations of unfair immigration-related employment practices, 
reflect developments in nondiscrimination jurisprudence, reflect 
changes in existing practices (e.g., electronic filing of charges), 
reflect the new name of the office within the Department charged with 
enforcing this statute, and replace outdated references. The Department 
received several comments requesting that the 30-day public comment 
period be extended, including a request to extend the comment period by 
an additional 60 days. The requests indicated that more time was needed 
to provide meaningful, comprehensive responses to the NPRM.
    Rather than granting the requested 60-day extension, the Department 
has decided to grant a 30-day extension of the comment period. 
Accordingly, the comment period will now close on

[[Page 63156]]

October 14, 2016. The Department believes that this additional 30 days 
will provide the public with a sufficient opportunity to provide 
comments on this NPRM. Given the importance of ensuring that its 
regulations conform to section 274B of the INA, the Department seeks to 
continue moving this rulemaking forward. Comments on the NPRM should be 
provided by October 14, 2016, via the methods described above.

    Dated: September 7, 2016.

Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General.
