SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA
proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community
listed below, in accordance with section
110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR
67.4(a).
These proposed flood hazard
determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required
by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that
are required. They should not be
construed to mean that the community
must change any existing ordinances
that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements.
The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or
pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities.
These flood hazard determinations are
used to meet the floodplain
management requirements of the NFIP.
The communities affected by the
flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any
request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown
Community
51695
on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS report
that satisfies the data requirements
outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b) is considered
an appeal. Comments unrelated to the
flood hazard determinations also will be
considered before the FIRM and FIS
report become effective.
Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel
(SRP) is available to communities in
support of the appeal resolution
process. SRPs are independent panels of
experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and
other pertinent sciences established to
review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide
recommendations for resolution. Use of
the SRP only may be exercised after
FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation
process for at least 60 days without a
mutually acceptable resolution of an
appeal. Additional information
regarding the SRP process can be found
online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/
srp_overview.pdf.
The watersheds and/or communities
affected are listed in the tables below.
The Preliminary FIRM, and where
applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection
at both the online location https://
hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/
prelimdownload and the respective
Community Map Repository address
listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary
studies, the studies can be identified by
the unique project number and
Preliminary FIRM date listed in the
tables. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center
at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:53 Aug 22, 2022
Jkt 256001
Background
On March 15, 2022, President Biden
signed the EB–5 Reform and Integrity
Act of 2022, Div. BB of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2022 (Pub. L. 117–
103) into law, which revised INA
203(b)(5). The law immediately repealed
the former Regional Center (RC)
Program statute at Departments of
Commerce, Justice, and State, the
Judiciary, and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act 1993, Public Law
102–395, 106 Stat. 1828, § 610(b).
The law also reauthorized a
substantially reformed EB–5 Regional
Center (RC) Program which became
effective on May 14, 2022. Though
USCIS will continue to provide similar
services for the newly reformed RC
program as it did under the former RC
program (such as initial designations,
petition adjudications, etc.), the newly
authorized RC program has a different
legal framework and requirements from
the previously authorized program.
Consequently, the current form I–526,
Immigrant Petition by Alien
Entrepreneur, associated with the EB–5
Program, would not gather sufficient
information to adjudicate investor
petitions under the new program.
Accordingly, USCIS split the former
Form I–526, Immigrant Petition by
Alien Entrepreneur, into two versions:
Form I–526, Immigrant Petition by
Standalone Investor, and Form I–526E,
Immigrant Petition by Regional Center
Investor. The revision of Form I–526
resulted in creating two separate forms
to better streamline the adjudication
process for Standalone Investors and
Regional Center Investors; specifically,
Form I–526 will be used by a
Standalone Investor and Form I–526E
will be used by an investor pooling their
investment with one or more qualified
immigrants under the new EB–5
Regional Center Program to petition for
status as an immigrant to the United
States under section 203(b)(5) of the
Immigration Nationality Act (INA), as
amended. USCIS began accepting the
new Form I–526 and Form I–526E
starting on July 12, 2022. USCIS will
continue to adjudicate all Forms I–526
filed before March 15, 2022 (the date of
the enactment of the EB–5 Reform and
Integrity Act of 2022), according to the
applicable eligibility requirements at the
time the petition was filed.
On June 24, 2022, the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of
California preliminarily enjoined USCIS
from ‘‘treating as deauthorized the
previously designated regional centers’’
PO 00000
Frm 00057
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
including ‘‘processing new I–526
petitions from immigrants investing
through previously authorized regional
centers . . . just as the agency would do
for a newly approved regional center.’’
Behring v. Mayorkas, Order Granting
Plaintiff’s Motion for a Preliminary
Injunction, Case No. 22–cv–02487–VC
(N.D. Cal. Jun 24, 2022). As USCIS is
working to implement the Court Order,
if it determines changes to the Forms I–
526 and I–526E are necessary, it will
pursue such changes through either this
form revision process or other
appropriate mechanism.
Comments
You may access the information
collection instrument with instructions
or additional information by visiting the
Federal eRulemaking Portal site at:
https://www.regulations.gov and
entering USCIS–2007–0021 in the
search box. All submissions will be
posted, without change, to the Federal
eRulemaking Portal at https://
www.regulations.gov, and will include
any personal information you provide.
Therefore, submitting this information
makes it public. You may wish to
consider limiting the amount of
personal information that you provide
in any voluntary submission you make
to DHS. DHS may withhold information
provided in comments from public
viewing that it determines may impact
the privacy of an individual or is
offensive. For additional information,
please read the Privacy Act notice that
is available via the link in the footer of
https://www.regulations.gov.
Written comments and suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
should address one or more of the
following four points:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
