Accordingly, NMFS determined that the issuance of the initial IHA qualified to be categorically excluded from further NEPA review. NMFS has determined that the application of this categorical exclusion remains appropriate for this reissued IHA. Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) requires that each Federal agency insure that any action it authorizes, funds, or carries out is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any endangered or threatened species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of designated critical habitat. To ensure ESA compliance for the issuance of IHAs, NMFS consults internally whenever we propose to authorize take for endangered or threatened species. However, no incidental take of ESAlisted species is authorized or expected to result from this activity. Therefore, NMFS has determined that formal consultation under section 7 of the ESA is not required for this action. Authorization NMFS has issued an IHA to the ACOE for in-water construction activities associated with the specified activity from July 15, 2023 through July 14, 2024. All previously described mitigation, monitoring, and reporting requirements from the initial 2021 IHA are incorporated. Dated: June 6, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Abstract of Patent Application(s) A thermomodulating heat pipe is provided including a heat pipe envelope having a capillary wick extending substantially continuously the full length of the heat pipe and a void space interior of the capillary wick. The heat pipe envelope has a nominal evaporator section, a nominal condenser section where the nominal condenser section includes an active condenser portion and an inactive condenser portion, and a reservoir section extending from the inactive condenser portion. At a nominal condition, a heat pipe fluid is provided with a liquid phase filling the capillary wick and a vapor phase filling the void space of the nominal evaporator section and the active condenser portion, a non-condensable gas filling the void space of at least the reservoir section and the inactive condenser portion. Depending on thermal conditions, both prograde and retrograde heat transfer are enabled. Intellectual Property U.S. Application No. 18/204,114, filed on May 31, 2023, and entitled, ‘‘Thermomodulating Heat Pipe.’’ The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated as an objection and may be considered as an alternative to the proposed license.

The ASD(HA) approved temporary modifications to TRICARE regulations in response to the COVID–19 pandemic and the President’s national emergency for the COVID–19 outbreak (Proclamation 9994, 85 Federal Register (FR) 15337). Interim final rules (IFRs) implementing temporary changes to the TRICARE regulation were published on May 12, 2020 (85 FR 27921); September 3, 2020 (85 FR 54914); October 30, 2020 (85 FR 68753); and January 12, 2023 (88 FR 1992). All provisions of the IFR published on May 12, 2020, and all but one provision of the IFR published on September 3, 2020, were finalized, with changes, in a final rule published June 1, 2022 (87 FR 33001). The temporary provisions in the four IFRs, as modified by the final rule where applicable, were set to expire automatically, depending on the particular temporary provision, at: (1) the termination of the President’s national emergency; (2) the termination of the associated Secretary of HHS’s PHE; (3) the termination of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS’s) Hospitals Without Walls initiative; or (4) at the end of the fiscal year in which the HHS PHE terminates. On January 30, 2023, the Biden Administration announced plans to terminate both the President’s national emergency and the HHS PHE on May 11, 2023.1 CMS has previously stated that the Hospital Without Walls initiative would terminate when the HHS PHE ended.2 Public Law 118–3 was subsequently enacted on April 10, 2023, immediately terminating the President’s national emergency.3 Several provisions in the IFRs are permanent changes; these provisions will not expire.
