Need for Correction

On January 4, 2023, DHS published a proposed rule in the Federal Register at 88 FR 402 proposing amendments to certain immigration and naturalization benefit request fees charged by USCIS (FR Doc. 2022-27066). There were two typographical errors in the proposed fees listed in Table 1 that were noticed after the document was scheduled for publication. DHS was able to work with the Office of the Federal Register to correct these typographical errors in the version of the proposed rule that posted for public inspection on January 3, 2023. However, the printing of the January 4, 2023 edition of the Federal Register was too far along in production and the errors were not corrected in the official publication. First in Table 1 on page 410, fifth row from the bottom for I-129CW and I-129, Petition for a CNMI Nonimmigrant Worker (with biometric services fee), the proposed fee needs to change from “$1,055” to “$1,015” in the 4th column, and the difference values need to change from “$595” to “$470” and from “129%” to “86%” in the 5th and 6th columns, respectively. Second, in Table 1 on page 411, sixth row from the top for I-765, Application for Employment Authorization—Online (with biometric services), the proposed fee needs to from “$650” to “$555” in the 4th column, and the difference values need to change from “$240” to “$60” and “59%” to “12%” in the 5th and 6th columns, respectively.

Correction of Publication

Accordingly, Table 1 beginning on page 407 of the proposed rule, FR Doc. 2022-27066, published on January 4, 2023, at 88 FR 402, is corrected and republished as follows:
