Each such notice shall be effective for one year after its date of publication. This notice announces that the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State, is identifying 87 countries whose nationals are eligible to participate in the H-2A program and 88 countries whose nationals are eligible to participate in the H-2B program for the coming year.
