The FHWA and the State of Arizona, acting by and through its Department of Transportation (State), propose a second renewal of the State's participation in the State Assumption of Responsibility for Categorical Exclusions program. This program allows FHWA to assign to States its authority and responsibility for determining whether certain designated activities within the geographic boundaries of the State, as specified in the proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), are categorically excluded from the requirement to prepare an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement under the National Environmental Policy Act. This MOU would renew and continue the State's participation in the program. The renewed MOU will amend the existing MOU by incorporating the following changes: Including language to reference the State's responsibility to report project impacts to environmental justice populations; clarifying that this assignment applies to any action to which a CE is applicable including non-highway projects; and adding a reference to the Final April 2020 Programmatic Agreement Pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act Regarding Implementation of Federal-Aid Transportation Projects in the State of Arizona (September 2020).

In accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we are providing opportunity for public comment on this action.

Federal law requires that state and tribal title IV-E/IV-B agencies (``agencies'') ensure that each child in foster care receives ``safe and proper'' care and has a case plan that addresses the specific needs of the child while in foster care to support their health and wellbeing. Federal law also requires that for children ages 14 and over, agencies must consult with them about their case plans. To ensure agencies meet these and other related statutory requirements, ACF proposes to specify the steps agencies must take when implementing the case plan and case review requirements for children in foster care who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, as well as children who are non-binary, or have non-conforming gender identity or expression (all of whom are referred to under the umbrella term LGBTQI+ for purposes of this regulation).

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is adopting its proposed rule to revise the table of reduction factors for early commencing dates of survivor annuities for spouses of separated employees who die before the date on which they would be eligible for unreduced deferred annuities. The annuity factor for spouses of deceased employees who die in service when those spouses elect to receive the basic employee death benefit in 36 installments under the Federal Employees' Retirement System (FERS) Act of 1986 remains unchanged. These revisions are necessary to ensure that the tables conform to the economic and demographic assumptions adopted by the Board of Actuaries and published in the Federal Register on April 14, 2023, as required by law.
