files is password-protected and under
the direct supervision of the system
manager. The system manager has the
capability of printing audit trails of

The safeguards in the following
paragraphs apply only to records that
are maintained in government-certified
cloud systems. All cloud systems that
provide IT services and process
Department of State personally
identifiable information (PII) must be
specifically authorized by the
Department of State Authorizing Official
and Senior Agency Official for Privacy.
Information that conforms with
Department-specific definitions for
FISMA low, moderate, or high
categorization are permissible for cloud
usage and must specifically be
authorized by the Department’s Cloud
Management Office and the Department
of State Authorizing Official. Specific
security measures and safeguards will
depend on the FISMA categorization of
the information in a given cloud system.
In accordance with Department policy,
systems that process more sensitive
information will require more stringent
controls and review by Department
cybersecurity experts prior to approval.
Prior to operation, all Cloud systems
must comply with applicable security
measures that are outlined in FISMA,
FedRAMP, OMB regulations, National
Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) Special Publications (SP) and
Federal Information Processing
Standards (FIPS) and Department of
State policies and standards.
All data stored in cloud environments
categorized above a low FISMA impact
risk level must be encrypted at rest and
in-transit using a federally-approved
encryption mechanism. The encryption
keys shall be generated, maintained, and
controlled in a Department data center
by the Department key management
authority. Deviations from these
encryption requirements must be
approved in writing by the Department
of State Authorizing Official. High
FISMA impact risk level systems will
additionally be subject to continual
auditing and monitoring, multifactor
authentication mechanisms utilizing
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and
NIST 800–53 controls concerning
virtualization, servers, storage and
networking, as well as stringent
measures to sanitize data from the cloud
service once the contract is terminated.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE
[Public Notice: 11574]
Certification of Mexico
ACTION:
Notice of country certification.
On October 21, 2021, the
Department of State certified to
Congress that Mexico’s turtle excluder
device (TED) program was determined
to again be comparable to the United
States program. Wild-caught shrimp
harvested in Mexico is again eligible to
enter the United States in accordance
with Section 609(b)(2)(A) and (B).

SUMMARY:
Section
609 of Public Law 101–162 (‘‘Sec. 609’’)
prohibits imports of wild-caught shrimp
or products from shrimp harvested with
commercial fishing technology unless
the President certifies to the Congress by
May 1, 1991, and annually thereafter,
that either: (1) The harvesting nation has
adopted a regulatory program governing
the incidental taking of relevant species
of sea turtles in the course of
commercial shrimp harvesting that is
comparable to that of the United States
and that the average rate of that
incidental taking by the vessels of the
harvesting nation is comparable to the
average rate of incidental taking of sea
turtles by United States vessels in the
course of such harvesting; or (2) the

particular fishing environment of the
harvesting nation does not pose a threat
of the incidental taking of sea turtles in
the course of shrimp harvesting. The
President has delegated the authority to
make this certification to the Secretary
of State (‘‘Secretary’’) who further
delegated the authority within the
Department of State (‘‘Department’’).
The Revised Guidelines for the
Implementation of Sec. 609 were
published in the Federal Register on
July 8, 1999, at 64 FR 36946.
The Department suspended the
certification of Mexico, effective May 1,
2021, because its sea turtle protection
program was no longer comparable to
that of the United States. The
Government of Mexico subsequently
implemented a plan of action to
strengthen sea turtle conservation in its
shrimp trawl fisheries, resulting in
significantly improved use of turtle
excluder devices by its fishing industry,
as verified by a team of representatives
from the Department and the National
Marine Fisheries Service. The
Department has now certified Mexico
under Sec. 609(b)(2)(A) and (B).
The Department has communicated
this decision under Sec. 609 to the
Office of Trade of U.S. Customs and
Border Protection.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Oceans,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
22, 2021, concurrently filed with their
original notice of intent to file an
application, CP and KCS jointly filed a
petition to establish a procedural
schedule. Applicants’ proposed
procedural schedule provides for a 10-
PO 00000

Fmt 4703

month period between the date an
application is filed and the date on
which the Board would issue its final
decision on the merits. (Pet. 1.) 1
Applicants request that the Board adopt
their proposed procedural schedule so
that the ‘‘substantial benefits’’ of the
proposed transaction would not be
‘‘unnecessarily delayed,’’ and assert that
their proposal, which is based on the
procedural schedule adopted in
Canadian National Railway—Control—
Illinois Central Corp., Docket No. FD
33556, is appropriate, given the
similarities between the two
transactions.2 (Pet. 1–2.)
Given the high level of interest in this
proceeding, as well as the complexity
and magnitude of issues that may
potentially arise, the Board proposes
modifications to the schedule proposed
by Applicants to ensure sufficient time
for the submission and review of
evidence and arguments, as well as for
the careful consideration of the merits of
the proposed transaction. Specifically,
for deadlines pertaining to responsive
applications, the Board proposes to
conform to the time frames set forth in
49 U.S.C. 11325 and 49 CFR 1180.4
(2000). The Board also proposes more
time for the filing of a rebuttal in
support of, and responses to comments
on, the primary application, as well as
more time for responses to any
responsive applications. Additionally,
the Board’s proposed schedule provides
that any necessary public hearing or oral
argument would be held on a date to be
determined later in the proceeding.
Therefore, the Board proposes the
following procedural schedule: 3
F—Primary application and any
related application(s) filed.
F+30—Board notice of acceptance of
primary application and any related
application(s) to be published in the
Federal Register.
F+45—Notices of intent to participate
due.
F+60—Proposed Safety Integration
Plan (SIP) due.4
1 In Applicants’ amended notice, they express
their continued ‘‘desire that the Board adopt a
schedule for its review of the proposed transaction
of ten months or less.’’ (Amended Notice 3.)
2 On April 1, 2021, The Freight Rail Customer
Alliance, National Coal Transportation Alliance,
and Private Railcar Food and Beverage Association,
Inc. (collectively, Shipper Associations), submitted
a letter asserting that the transaction in Docket No.
FD 33556 does not serve as a good benchmark,
given the larger size and value of the Applicants’
proposed transaction. (Shipper Associations
Comment 4.)
3 ‘‘F’’ designates the filing date of the application,
and ‘‘F+n’’ means ‘‘n’’ days following that date.
Applicants filed their application on October 29,
2021.
4 Preparation of a SIP is required under 49 CFR
1106.4.
