It is still in the form which has not been revised since 91. I was trying to say that the INS has removed the RTD (and other documents) from the regulations as a list A document for quite sometime. When they get around to print a new version of the form, that new rule will be reflected therein. In the interim the Government is withholding enforcement of the new rule. I know that it sounds academic, but just bear in mind that the RTD can be gone for I-9 purposes any day.

Well .. if you folks did went out to the web site and checked out the I-9 Form then what you missed is this ...
Special Instructions:
Please note the following changes to the I-9 process:
Form I-766 (Employment Authorization Document), although not listed on the 11/21/91 version of the Form I-9, is an acceptable List A document #10.
Form I-151, is no longer an acceptable List A document #5. However, Form I-551 remains an acceptable List A document #5.
The following documents have been removed from the list of acceptable identity and work authorization documents: Certificate of U.S. Citizenship (List A #2), Certificate of Naturalization (List A #3), Unexpired Reentry Permit (List A #8), and Unexpired Refugee Travel Document (List A #9).
Link to the above information is :

This should clear up the confusion ... now as the question goes how long it has been in effect ...That I don't know.

Confusion is still there
The confusion is still there:
First, download the form from the same link you provided andwill see that pages 1 and 2 correspond to Rev. 11/21/91 and page 3 (List of acceptable documents) corresponds to Rev 10/4/00; however, the RTD remains in List A.
Second, check what INS has posted in their website:
CURRENT VERSION OF FORM I-9
The current version of the Form I-9 and the Handbook for Employers are dated 11/21/91. Both documents are undergoing revision to reflect changes in U.S. immigration law since they were issued, but the publication date has not been established. The proposed changes and Form I-9 published in February 1998 are not currently in effect. Interim changes made on September 30, 1997 are currently in effect.
So, who understands this?
It's going to be a shame not to have the RTD in List A of documents. Meanwhile, I believe that while employers are not aware or this inconsistency is cleared, the RTD is to be accepted

I found this on INS web site. This is regarding the difference in Special instructions about a form and the instructions on the forms itself.
