Information Hotline at 800–255–7688
(TTY 800–237–2515). Additional
information about proper
nondiscriminatory Employment
Eligibility Verification (Form I–9) and EVerify procedures is available on the
OSC Web site at http://www.justice.gov/
crt/about/osc/ and the USCIS Web site
at http://www.dhs.gov/E-verify.
Note Regarding Federal, State, and
Local Government Agencies (Such as
Departments of Motor Vehicles)
While Federal Government agencies
must follow the guidelines laid out by
the Federal Government, State and local
government agencies establish their own
rules and guidelines when granting
certain benefits. Each State may have
different laws, requirements, and
determinations about what documents
you need to provide to prove eligibility
for certain benefits. Whether you are
applying for a Federal, State, or local
government benefit, you may need to
provide the government agency with
documents that show you are a TPS
beneficiary and/or show you are
authorized to work based on TPS.
Examples are:
(1) Your unexpired EAD;
(2) A copy of this Federal Register
Notice if your EAD is automatically
extended under this Notice;
(3) A copy of your Application for
Temporary Protected Status Notice of
Action (Form I–797) for this reregistration;
(4) A copy of your past or current
Application for Temporary Protected
Status Approval Notice (Form I–797), if
you received one from USCIS; and/or
(5) If there is an automatic extension
of work authorization, a copy of the fact
sheet from the USCIS TPS Web site that
provides information on the automatic
extension.
Check with the government agency
regarding which document(s) the agency
will accept. You may also provide the
agency with a copy of this Federal
Register Notice.
Some benefit-granting agencies use
the USCIS Systematic Alien Verification
for Entitlements Program (SAVE) to
verify the current immigration status of
applicants for public benefits. If such an
agency has denied your application
based solely or in part on a SAVE
response, the agency must offer you the
opportunity to appeal the decision in
accordance with the agency’s
procedures. If the agency has received
and acted upon or will act upon a SAVE
verification and you do not believe the
response is correct, you may make an
InfoPass appointment for an in-person
interview at a local USCIS office.

I. Background
The Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 113–
2, approved January 29, 2013) made
available $16 billion in Community
Development Block Grant disaster
recovery (CDBG–DR) funds for
necessary expenses related to disaster
relief, long-term recovery, restoration of
infrastructure and housing, and
economic revitalization in the most
impacted and distressed areas, resulting
from a major disaster declared pursuant
to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act of 1974
(42 U.S.C. 5121 et. seq.) (Stafford Act),
due to Hurricane Sandy and other
eligible events in calendar years 2011,
2012, and 2013. On March 1, 2013, the
President issued a sequestration order
pursuant to Section 251A of the
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
Control Act, as amended (2 U.S.C.
901a), and reduced the amount of
funding for CDBG–DR grants under the
Appropriations Act to $15.18 billion. To
date, a total of $15.18 billion has been
allocated or set aside: $13 billion in
response to Hurricane Sandy, $514
million in response to disasters
occurring in 2011 or 2012, $655 million
in response to 2013 disasters, and $1
billion set aside for the National
Disaster Resilience Competition.
This notice specifies a waiver and
alternative requirements and modifies
requirements for Hurricane Sandy
grantees in receipt of allocations under
the Appropriations Act, which are
described within the Federal Register
notices published by the Department on
March 5, 2013 (78 FR 14329), April 19,
2013 (78 FR 23578), August 2, 2013 (78
FR 46999), November 18, 2013 (78 FR
69104), March 27, 2014 (79 FR 17173),
July 11, 2014 (79 FR 40133), October 16,
2014 (79 FR 62182), April 2, 2015 (80
FR 17772), and May 11, 2015 (80 FR
26942), referred to collectively in this
notice as the ‘‘prior notices.’’ The
requirements of the prior notices
continue to apply, except as modified
by this notice.1
II. Applicable Rules, Statutes, Waivers,
and Alternative Requirements

the Secretary to waive, or specify
alternative requirements for, any

provision of any statute or regulation
that the Secretary administers in
connection with HUD’s obligation or
use by the recipient of these funds
(except for requirements related to fair
housing, nondiscrimination, labor
standards, and the environment).
Waivers and alternative requirements
are based upon a determination by the
Secretary that good cause exists and that
the waiver or alternative requirement is
not inconsistent with the overall
purposes of Title I of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974
(42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.) (HCD Act).
Regulatory waiver authority is also
provided by 24 CFR 5.110, 91.600, and
570.5.
For the waivers and alternative
requirements described in this notice,
the Secretary has determined that good
cause exists and that the waivers and
alternative requirements are not
inconsistent with the overall purpose of
the HCD Act. Grantees may request
waivers and alternative requirements
from the Department as needed to
address specific needs related to their
recovery activities. Under the
requirements of the Appropriations Act,
waivers must be published in the
Federal Register no later than 5 days
before the effective date of such waiver.
1. Exemptions from Infrastructure
Program and Project Requirements—
Obligated Assistance from Federal
Grant Program Projects and Completed
Projects—(Hurricane Sandy Grantees
only). The March 27, 2014, Federal
Register notice, at paragraph II.1.b.,
Obligated Public Assistance Grant
Program Projects (78 FR 17174),
provides an exemption from certain
infrastructure requirements described in
paragraph 2 of the Federal Register
notice published November 18, 2013, at
78 FR 69107, for those projects to which
the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) had obligated Public
Assistance (PA) funds on or before
November 25, 2013. After consideration
of the factors discussed below, HUD is
now modifying this exemption. As of
the effective date of this notice, the
infrastructure requirements described in
paragraph 2 at 78 FR 69107 will not
apply to an infrastructure project carried
out by a Hurricane Sandy CDBG–DR
grantee if FEMA or any other Federal
agency has obligated funds to that
infrastructure project on or before
January 15, 2014, or if the infrastructure
project was completed on or before
January 15, 2014.
Oftentimes CDBG–DR grantees are
awarded Federal recovery funds for
which CDBG–DR can be used as the
source for the required non-Federal
local match of funds. These Federal
