SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Rural Development has identified a technical error associated with the publication of the interim rule, in which 7 CFR Parts 1779 and 3575 were mistakenly repealed. These two parts, which are the regulations for the Community Facilities and Water and Waste Disposal guaranteed loan programs, should not have been repealed at this time because, in part, there are other Community Facilities and Water and Waste Disposal regulations that cross-reference these two parts. Rural Development considered publishing a technical correction notice to reinstate these two regulations. Due to time constraints for publication in the Federal Register prior to the effective date of January 16, 2009, there was insufficient time for full consideration of these technical corrections. Therefore, Rural Development determined that the best course of action was to delay the effective date of the interim rule by 30 days. Dated: January 9, 2009. Doug Faulkner, Acting Under Secretary for Rural Development. [FR Doc.

There was an inadvertent error in that document. In the amendatory language for amendment 2b at 73 FR 28030, DHS inadvertently revised the fifth sentence to 8 CFR 103.7(c)(1) instead of the sixth sentence.

ACTION: Interim final rule; solicitation of comments. SUMMARY: Section 702 of the Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008 (CNRA) extends the immigration laws of the United States to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) and provides for a visa waiver program for travel to Guam and the CNMI. This rule implements section 702 of the CNRA by amending U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations to replace the current Guam Visa Waiver Program with a new GuamCNMI Visa Waiver Program. Accordingly, this interim final rule sets forth the requirements for nonimmigrant visitors who seek admission for business or pleasure and solely for entry into and stay on Guam or the CNMI without a visa for a period of authorized stay of no longer than forty-five days. In addition, this rule establishes six ports of entry in the CNMI in order to administer and enforce the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program and to allow for immigration inspections in the CNMI, including arrival and departure controls, under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). DATES: Effective Date: This interim final rule is effective January 16, 2009. Implementation Date: Beginning June 1, 2009, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will begin operation of this program and required compliance with this interim final rule will begin.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Need for Correction

    On May 15, 2008, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 
published a final rule in the Federal Register at 73 FR 28026 
establishing a fee-for-service Genealogy Program within U.S. 
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to streamline and improve 
the process for acquiring historical records of deceased individuals. 
There was an inadvertent error in that document. In the amendatory 
language for amendment 2b at 73 FR 28030, DHS inadvertently revised the 
fifth sentence to 8 CFR 103.7(c)(1) instead of the sixth sentence. As a 
result the fifth sentence in 8 CFR 103.7(c)(1) is incorrect. This 
document corrects the error.
