In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security proposes to update and reissue a current Department of Homeland Security system of records titled ``Department of Homeland Security/United States Citizenship and Immigration Services011 E- Verify Program System of Records.''

The Department of Homeland Security is updating this Privacy Act System of Records Notice for the E-Verify Program in order to provide notice that E-Verify is: (1) Adding a new category of records derived from participating Motor Vehicle Agencies' systems through the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators Network; (2) adding a new category of records derived from individual employees subject to employment verification; and (3) changing the verification process to include the validation of information from a driver's license, driver's permit, or identification card from a state or jurisdiction that has signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Department of Homeland Security under the Records and Information from Departments of Motor Vehicles for E-Verify program. These changes are more thoroughly spelled out in an accompanying E-Verify Privacy Impact Assessment update, which is found on the Department of Homeland Security Privacy Web site (https://www.dhs.gov/privacy).

As discussed below, we preliminarily determine that sales have been made below normal value (``NV'').

Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Residential Clothes Dryers and Room Air Conditioners
In a direct final rule published on April 21, 2011, DOE adopted amended energy conservation standards for residential clothes dryers and room air conditioners. As required by EPCA, DOE also published simultaneously a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) that proposed identical energy efficiency standards. The standards set forth in the direct final rule and NOPR were consistent with the consensus agreement that served as the basis for those rulemaking actions. The consensus agreement also provided specific compliance dates for both productsJune 1, 2014 for room air conditioners and January 1, 2015 for clothes dryers. In the direct final rule and NOPR, however, DOE provided for a compliance date 3 years after the date of publication in the Federal Register, or April 21, 2014. As such, the compliance date of the direct final rule and NOPR did not correspond with the consensus agreement. DOE now proposes to amend the compliance dates set forth in the direct final rule and corresponding NOPR to be consistent with the compliance dates set out in the consensus agreement.

Notice of a Regional Project Waiver of Section 1605 (Buy American) of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) to the City of South Burlington, VT
The EPA is hereby granting a waiver of the Buy American requirements of ARRA Section 1605 under the authority of Section 1605(b)(1) [inconsistent with the public interest] to the City of South Burlington, Vermont (``City'') for the installation of two specific turbo aeration blower units for the City's Airport Parkway Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade project. This is a project specific waiver and only applies to the use of the specified products for the ARRA project under construction. Any other ARRA recipient that wishes to use the same products must apply for a separate waiver based on project specific circumstances. The City was provided written representations by the manufacturer (K Turbo USA) during 2009 and early 2010 that the turbo aeration blower units being supplied would be substantially transformed in the United States and would be in compliance with the Buy American provisions of ARRA. However, as a result of a recent on- going criminal investigation, the written representations provided by the manufacturer that the specified aeration blowers units had undergone substantial transformation in the United States have been questioned. Based on the information provided by the City, EPA agrees with the City that, if the K-Turbo units in question are determined to be non-American made, requiring the installation of domestically manufactured turbo aeration blower units will extend the time frame of the project by approximately five months due to the redesign, procurement, submittal delivery, submittal review, fabrication, delivery, and replacement of the aeration blower installation at the construction site. This delay is inconsistent with the public interest, and a waiver of the Buy American provisions in these circumstances is justified. The Regional Administrator is making this determination based on the review and recommendations of the Municipal Assistance Unit. The Assistant Administrator of the Office of Administration and Resources Management has concurred on this decision to make an exception to the requirements of Section 1605(a) of ARRA. This action allows the installation of the two specified turbo aeration blower units that have already been delivered to the construction site as noted in the City's March 31, 2011 request.
