CHAPTER I--IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Sec. 274a.14  Termination of employment authorization.

    (a) Automatic termination of employment authorization. (1) 
Employment authorization granted under Sec. 274a.12(c) of this chapter 
shall automatically terminate upon the occurrence of one of the 
following events:
    (i) The expiration date specified by the Service on the employment 
authorization document is reached;
    (ii) Exclusion or deportation proceedings are instituted (however, 
this shall not preclude the authorization of employment pursuant to 
Sec. 274a.12(c) of this part where appropriate); or
    (iii) The alien is granted voluntary departure.

    (2) Termination of employment authorization pursuant to this 
paragraph does not require the service of a notice of intent to revoke; 
employment authorization terminates upon the occurrence of any event 
enumerated in paragraph (a)(1) of this section.
    However, automatic revocation under this section does not preclude 
reapplication for employment authorization under Sec. 274.12(c) of this 
part.
    (b) Revocation of employment authorization--(1) Basis for revocation 
of employment authorization. Employment authorization granted under 
Sec. 274a.12(c) of this chapter may be revoked by the district director:
    (i) Prior to the expiration date, when it appears that any condition 
upon which it was granted has not been met or no longer exists, or for 
good cause shown; or
    (ii) Upon a showing that the information contained in the 
application is not true and correct.
    (2) Notice of intent to revoke employment authorization. When a 
district director determines that employment authorization should be 
revoked prior to the expiration date specified by the Service, he or she 
shall serve written notice of intent to revoke the employment 
authorization. The notice will cite the reasons indicating that 
revocation is warranted. The alien will be granted a period of fifteen 
days from the date of service of the notice within which to submit 
countervailing evidence. The decision by the district director shall be 
final and no appeal shall lie from the decision to revoke the 
authorization.
    (c) Automatic termination of temporary employment authorization 
granted prior to June 1, 1987. (1) Temporary employment authorization 
granted prior to June 1, 1987, pursuant to 8 CFR 274a.12(c) 
(Sec. 109.1(b) contained in the 8 CFR edition revised as of January 1, 
1987), shall automatically terminate on the date specified by the 
Service on the document issued to the alien, or on December 31, 1996, 
whichever is earlier. Automatic termination of temporary employment 
authorization does not preclude a subsequent application for temporary 
employment authorization.
    (2) A document issued by the Service prior to June 1, 1987, that 
authorized temporary employment authorization for any period beyond 
December 31, 1996, is null and void pursuant to paragraph (c)(1) of this 
section. The alien shall be issued a new employment authorization 
document upon application to the Service if the alien is eligible for 
temporary employment authorization pursuant to 274A.12(c).
    (3) No notice of intent to revoke is necessary for the automatic 
termination of temporary employment authorization pursuant to this part.
