the accepted attestation to the Department of Homeland Security office having jurisdiction over the port where the longshore work will be performed
by alien crewmen. A copy of the attestation indicating the Department’s acceptance will be provided to the employer. The employer may then use
alien crewmembers for longshore work at the port for which this attestation has been accepted in accordance with the Department of Homeland
Security regulations, unless the Department subsequently acts to suspend or invalidate the attestation. If the employer’s attestation is not accepted
