Northern Mariana Islands Covenant Implementation Act

Northern Mariana Islands Covenant Implementation Act - Amends the Covenant to Establish a Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in Political Union with the United States of America (the Covenant Act) to apply the Immigration and Nationality Act to the Commonwealth over a ten-year transition period during which the Attorney General shall implement an immigration transition program for it. States that the transition program shall provide for the issuance of nonimmigrant temporary alien worker visas, as well as family-sponsored and employment-based immigrant visas. Sets forth a statutory scheme for: (1) temporary alien workers; (2) immigrants; (3) investor visas; (4) lawful entry under Commonwealth immigration laws; and (5) travel restrictions for certain asylum applicants. Directs the Secretaries of the Interior and of Labor to develop a technical assistance program to aid employers in securing employees from among U.S. labor or lawfully admissible freely associated state citizen labor. Authorizes the Attorney General and the Department of Labor to establish Immigration and Naturalization Service, Executive Office of Immigration Review, and Department of Labor operations in the Northern Mariana Islands. Directs the President to report to certain congressional committees an evaluation of the overall effect of the transition program and the Immigration and Nationality Act upon the Northern Mariana Islands. Prohibits the Commonwealth from permitting an increase in the total number of temporary alien workers present on the Islands during the period between enactment of this Act and the effective date of the transition program. Sets for the Commonwealth a minimum wage through December 31, 1998, of $3.35 per hour, adjusted annually thereafter in increments of $.30 or the amount necessary to increase the minimum wage rate to the rate required by the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, whichever is less. Applies permanently to the Commonwealth the minimum wage rate required by the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 once the incrementally increased rate equals such rate. Amends the Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the United States and other Federal law to prohibit affixation of the "Made in the USA" label to a textile fiber product from the Northern Mariana Islands, and prohibit its duty-free entry into the U.S. customs territory as the product of an insular possession, unless it is produced in a factory certified by the U.S. Department of Labor to use full-time employee equivalents of labor in the required percentage of qualified hours of labor performed by a citizen, national, other protected individual, or a citizen of the Freely Associated States of the Republic of Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, or the Federated States of Micronesia.
