This rule modifies several regulations applicable to agricultural (H-2A) and nonagricultural (H-2B) temporary nonimmigrant workers, including by providing additional whistleblower protections for these workers, eliminating the differential treatment of nationals of countries designated as eligible, and establishing a 60-day grace period for workers after the revocation or cessation of eligible employment.
