{"abstract":"Through this notice, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announces that the Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary) is extending the designation of Sudan for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 months, beginning on October 20, 2023, and ending on April 19, 2025. This extension allows existing TPS beneficiaries to retain TPS through April 19, 2025, so long as they otherwise continue to meet the eligibility requirements for TPS. Existing TPS beneficiaries who wish to extend their status through April 19, 2025, must re-register during the 60-day re-registration period described in this notice. The Secretary is also redesignating Sudan for TPS. The redesignation of Sudan allows additional Sudanese nationals (and individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Sudan) who have been continuously residing in the United States since August 16, 2023 to apply for TPS for the first time during the initial registration period described under the redesignation information in this notice. In addition to demonstrating continuous residence in the United States since August 16, 2023 and meeting other eligibility criteria, initial applicants for TPS under this designation must demonstrate that they have been continuously physically present in the United States since October 20, 2023, the effective date of this redesignation of Sudan for TPS.","action":"Notice of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) extension and redesignation.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY","name":"Homeland Security Department","id":227,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/homeland-security-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/227","parent_id":null,"slug":"homeland-security-department"},{"raw_name":"U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services","name":"U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services","id":499,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/u-s-citizenship-and-immigration-services","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/499","parent_id":227,"slug":"u-s-citizenship-and-immigration-services"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2023/08/21/2023-17877.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"88 FR 56864","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Extension of Designation of Sudan for TPS: The 18-month designation of Sudan for TPS begins on October 20, 2023, and will remain in effect for 18 months, ending on April 19, 2025.
