The Coast Guard is disestablishing the permanent safety zone at Trunkline LNG in Lake Charles, LA and replacing it with a security zone with new boundaries. The Coast Guard is also establishing two additional permanent security zones on the waters of the Calcasieu River for the mooring basins at Cameron LNG in Hackberry, LA and PPG Industries in Lake Charles, LA. The Coast Guard is also disestablishing the Calcasieu River ship channel moving safety zone and replacing it with a moving security zone. The revised moving security zone extends channel edge to channel edge on the Calcasieu Channel and shoreline to shoreline on the Calcasieu River, 2 miles ahead and 1 mile astern of certain designated vessels while in transit on the Calcasieu Channel or Calcasieu River. Meeting, crossing or overtaking situations are not permitted within the security zone unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port. The moving security zone may commence at any point while certain vessels are transiting the Calcasieu Channel or Calcasieu River on U.S. territorial waters (12 nautical miles) in the Captain of the Port (COTP) Port Arthur zone. These security zones are needed to protect vessels, waterfront facilities, the public, and other surrounding areas from destruction, loss, or injury caused by sabotage, subversive acts, accidents, or other actions of a similar nature. Unless exempted under this rule, entry into or movement within these security zones is prohibited without permission from the Captain of the Port or a designated representative.

The Coast Guard announces that it will impose conditions of entry on vessels arriving from the country of the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe.

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 the Department of Homeland Security is updating and reissuing the Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration006 Correspondence and Matters Tracking Records system of records, last published on August 18, 2003, to reflect necessary programmatic changes. As a result of the biennial review of this system, modifications are being made to the system of records' authorities, routine uses, data retention and disposal, notification procedures, and system location. The Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration Correspondence and Matters Tracking Records system covers records associated with the management, tracking, retrieval, and response to incoming correspondence, all outgoing correspondence, memoranda, documentation, injuries, claims, and complaints associated with all subject matters over which the Transportation Security Administration exercises jurisdiction. For example, records pertaining to individuals who make a complaint to the agency's contact center are covered by this system.

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security is giving notice that it proposes to establish a new Department of Homeland Security system of records notice titled, ``Department of Homeland Security Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman-001 Virtual Ombudsman System of Records.'' This system of records will ensure the efficient and secure processing of information to aid the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman in providing assistance to individuals, employers, and their representatives in resolving problems with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services; identify areas in which individuals, employers, and their representatives have problems working with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services; and to the extent possible, propose changes to mitigate problems pursuant to 6 U.S.C. 272. This newly established system will be included in the Department of Homeland Security's inventory of record systems.
