SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Submitting Comments
See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
section in the NPRM (77 FR 75300) for
further information on how to comment
on the proposals in the NPRM and how
DHS will handle comments received.
The ‘‘Additional Information’’ section
also contains related information about

II. Background
On December 19, 2012, DHS issued an
NPRM entitled, ‘‘Standards to Prevent,
Detect, and Respond to Sexual Abuse
and Assault in Confinement Facilities.’’
77 FR 75300. The NPRM required
commenters to submit their comments
for receipt by February 19, 2013. DHS
recently learned of upcoming
maintenance to the Federal
eRulemaking Portal, https://
www.regulations.gov, and the Federal
Document Management System (FDMS),
currently scheduled for February 16–18,
2013. These systems will not be
available during that time. To avoid
confusion during the end of the
comment period and to ensure that all
interested parties have an opportunity
to comment on the NPRM, DHS is
extending the comment period by one
week.
Absent unforeseen circumstances,
DHS does not anticipate any further

extension of the comment period for
this rulemaking.
Extension of Comment Period
DHS has determined that a one-week
extension of the comment period is
sufficient to provide the public adequate
time to submit comments,
notwithstanding the projected outages
to the Federal eRulemaking Portal and
FDMS. Accordingly, the public
comment period for the NPRM is
extended through February 26, 2013.

Interstate Movement of Sharwil
Avocados From Hawaii
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
We are proposing to amend
the Hawaii quarantine regulations to
allow the interstate movement of
untreated Sharwil avocados from
Hawaii into the continental United
States. As a condition of movement,
Sharwil avocados from Hawaii would
have to be produced in accordance with
a systems approach that would include
requirements for registration and
monitoring of places of production and
packinghouses, an orchard trapping
program, grove sanitation, limits on
harvest periods and distribution areas,
and harvesting and packing
requirements to ensure that only intact
fruit that have been protected against
infestation are shipped. This action
would allow for the interstate
movement of Sharwil avocados from
Hawaii into other States while
continuing to provide protection against
the introduction of quarantine pests.
DATES: We will consider all comments
that we receive on or before April 8,
2013.
