August 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On August 16, 2011, President Obama issued a memorandum to the Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano directing her to extend for an additional 18 months the deferred enforced departure (DED) of certain Liberians and to provide for work authorization during that period. The DED extension runs from September 30, 2011, through March 31, 2013. This notice provides instructions for eligible Liberians on how to apply for the full 18-month extension of employment authorization. Finally, this notice provides instructions for DED- eligible Liberians on how to apply for permission to travel outside the United States during the 18-month DED period. USCIS will issue new employment authorization documents (EADs) with a March 31, 2013 expiration date to Liberians whose DED has been extended under the presidential memorandum and who apply for EADs under this extension. Given the timeframes involved with processing EAD applications, DHS recognizes that all DED-eligible Liberians may not receive new EADs until after their current EADs expire on September 30, 2011. Accordingly, this Notice automatically extends the validity of DED-related EADs that have an expiration date of September 30, 2011, for 6 months, through March 31, 2012, and explains how Liberians covered under DED and their employers may determine which EADs are automatically extended and their impact on Form I-9 and E-Verify processes.

In particular, PHMSA is considering whether integrity management (IM) requirements should be changed, including adding more prescriptive language in some areas, and whether other issues related to system integrity should be addressed by strengthening or expanding non-IM requirements.

With respect to non-IM requirements, PHMSA is considering whether revised requirements are needed on new construction or existing pipelines concerning mainline valves, including valve spacing and installation of remotely operated or automatically operated valves; whether requirements for corrosion control of steel pipelines should be strengthened; and whether new regulations are needed to govern the safety of gathering lines and underground gas storage facilities.
