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

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

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/

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice announces that
the Secretary of Homeland Security
(Secretary) is suspending certain
regulatory requirements for F–1
nonimmigrant students whose country
of citizenship is Venezuela, regardless
of country of birth (or individuals
having no nationality who last
habitually resided in Venezuela), and
who are experiencing severe economic
hardship as a direct result of the crisis
in Venezuela. The Secretary is taking
action to provide relief to these
Venezuelan students who are in lawful
F–1 nonimmigrant student status, so the
students may request employment
authorization, work an increased
number of hours while school is in
session, and reduce their course load
while continuing to maintain their F–1
nonimmigrant student status. The U.S.
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) will deem an F–1 nonimmigrant
student granted employment
authorization by means of this notice to
be engaged in a ‘‘full course of study’’
for the duration of the employment
authorization, if the nonimmigrant

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
What action is DHS taking under this
notice?
The Secretary is exercising authority
under 8 CFR 214.2(f)(9) to temporarily
suspend the applicability of certain
requirements governing on-campus and
off-campus employment for F–1
nonimmigrant students whose country
of citizenship is Venezuela regardless of
country of birth (or individuals having
no nationality who last habitually
resided in Venezuela), who are present
in the United States in lawful F–1
nonimmigrant student status on the date
of publication of this notice, and who
are experiencing severe economic
hardship as a direct result of the
situation in Venezuela. The original
Notice that was prompted by emergent
circumstances, which applied to F–1
nonimmigrant students who met certain
criteria, including having been lawfully
present in the United States in F–1
nonimmigrant status on April 22, 2021,
was effective from April 22, 2021, until
September 9, 2022. See 86 FR 21328
(Apr. 22, 2021). A subsequent Notice
provided for an 18-month extension of
the original Notice from September 10,
2022, through March 10, 2024. See 87
FR 55017 (Sept. 8, 2022). Effective with
this publication, suspension of the
employment limitations is available
through September 10, 2025, for those

who are in lawful F–1 nonimmigrant
status on the date of publication of this
Notice. DHS will deem an F–1
nonimmigrant student granted
employment authorization through this
Notice to be engaged in a ‘‘full course
of study’’ for the duration of the
employment authorization, if the
student satisfies the minimum course
load set forth in this notice.1 See 8 CFR
214.2(f)(6)(i)(F). Those covered by the
Notice ending on March 10, 2024 (see
87 FR 55017), will receive an extension
of Special Student Relief under this
Notice through September 10, 2025.
Who is covered by this notice?
This notice applies exclusively to F–

of the following conditions:
(1) Are a citizen of Venezuela
regardless of country of birth (or an
individual having no nationality who
last habitually resided in Venezuela);
(2) Were lawfully present in the
United States on the date of publication
of this notice in F–1 nonimmigrant
status under section 101(a)(15)(F)(i) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA), 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(F)(i);
(3) Are enrolled in an academic

enrollment for F–1 nonimmigrant

(4) Are currently maintaining F–1

both) after this notice is effective to be engaging in
a ‘‘full course of study,’’ see 8 CFR 214.2(f)(6), and
eligible for employment authorization, through the
end of any academic term for which such student
is matriculated as of Sept. 10, 2025, provided the
student satisfies the minimum course load
requirements in this notice.
