<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 130 / Friday, July 6, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
intent was to eliminate any confusion
about with whom regulated entities and
other persons should interact when
complying with these various rules.
In that document, the FAA assigned
amendment number 65–56 to the rule.
However, the FAA previously assigned
that amendment number to a final rule
that published on December 16, 2014,
entitled ‘‘Elimination of the air traffic
control tower operator certificate for
controllers who hold a federal aviation
administration credential with a tower
rating on’’ (79 FR 74607). The correct
amendment number should have been
65–57A, and this action fixes that error.
Correction
1. On page 9162, in the first column,
in the heading under the docket number
correct ‘‘65–56’’ to read ‘‘65–57A’’.
Issued under authority provided by 49
U.S.C. 106(f), 44701(a), and 44703 in
Washington, DC, on June 27, 2018.

AGENCY:
ACTION:
As a result of this rule, the
Department of State finalizes without
change a final rule establishing that a
passport and a visa is required of a
British, French, or Netherlands national,
or of a national of Antigua, Barbados,
Grenada, Jamaica, or Trinidad and
Tobago, who has residence in British,
French, or Netherlands territory located
in the adjacent islands of the Caribbean
area, or has residence in Antigua,
Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, or Trinidad
and Tobago, if the alien is proceeding to
the United States as an agricultural
worker. In light of past experience, and
to promote consistency of treatment
across H–2A agricultural workers,
prudent border management requires
that these temporary workers obtain a
visa, which already is required of most
other H–2A agricultural workers. The
previous rule created a vulnerability by
allowing temporary workers from these
countries to enter the United States

without a visa. As a consequence of the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) revising its regulations in parallel
with State Department actions,
temporary workers from these countries
will continue to need H–2A visas to
enter the United States.
DATES: The rule is effective on August
6, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
February 4, 2016, the Department of
State (Department) published an interim
final rule that would require a British,
French, or Netherlands national, or a
national of Antigua, Barbados, Grenada,
Jamaica, or Trinidad and Tobago, who
has a residence in British, French, or
Netherlands territory located in the
adjacent islands of the Caribbean area,
or has residence in Antigua, Barbados,
Grenada, Jamaica, or Trinidad and
Tobago, to obtain a passport and visa if
the alien is proceeding to the United
States as an agricultural worker. A
minor correction was published on
February 12, 2016.
For further information about this
rulemaking, please see the interim final
rule, published at 81 FR 5906 and
correction, published at 81 FR 7454.
Analysis of Comments: Public
comments were due on April 4, 2016.
The Department received three
comments. One comment supported the
rule as a necessary security measure.
The Department will not make any
changes in response to this comment.
The remaining two comments were not
responsive to the rulemaking. One
comment was critical of United States
immigration policies gemerally, and the
other indicated support for the rule but
focused on issues related to domestic
agricultural concerns. Accordingly, the
rule is final as published.
Regulatory Findings
The Regulatory Findings included in
the interim final rule are incorporated
herein.
Executive Order 12866 and 13771
OMB has designated this rule ‘‘not
significant’’ under E.O. 12866. This rule
is not subject to the requirements of E.O.
13771 (82 FR 9339, February 3, 2017)
because this rule is not significant under
E.O. 12866 .
The costs of this rulemaking are
discussed in the companion DHS rule,
RIN 1651–AB09, included elsewhere in
this edition of the Federal Register.
That discussion is incorporated by

reference herein. The Department has
reviewed the costs and benefits of this
rule to ensure its consistency with the
regulatory philosophy and principles set
forth in Executive Order 12866 and has
determined that the benefits of this rule
justify its costs.
Accordingly, the interim rule
amending 22 CFR part 41 which was
published at 81 FR 5906 on February 4,
2016, is adopted as final without
change.

Rules Governing Public Access
Department of the Navy,
Department of Defense.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This final rule removes DoD’s
regulation requiring individuals wishing
to visit Kaho‘olawe Island, Hawaii, to
receive advance authorization from the
Commanding Officer of Naval Base,
Pearl Harbor before doing so. This part
provided entry procedures for
individuals wishing to visit Kaho‘olawe
Island, Hawaii, and its adjacent waters
due to ongoing military training
operations and the presence of
unexploded ordnance (UXO). On
November 11, 2003, upon the
completion of UXO clearance and
environmental restoration, control of
access to Kaho‘olawe was passed from
the United States to the State of Hawaii.
Since that time, Navy has not exercised
access control to Kaho‘olawe Island or
its adjacent waters. This part is no
longer required.
DATES: This rule is effective on July 6,
2018.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Steven James at 703–601–0514.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It has been
determined that publication of this rule
removal in the CFR for public comment
is impracticable, unnecessary, and
contrary to public interest since it is
based on removing policies and
procedures that are no longer in effect,
and which have not been in effect for
over 14 years.
