Department of Homeland Security January 30, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Base (1% annual chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and modified BFEs are made final for the communities listed below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are the basis for the floodplain management measures that each community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security, U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is publishing this notice of system of records for the Department's ICE Pattern Analysis and Information Collection (ICEPIC) system. A proposed rulemaking is also published in this issue of the Federal Register in which the Department proposes to exempt portions of this system of records from one or more provisions of the Privacy Act because of criminal, civil, and administrative enforcement requirements. Due to urgent homeland security and law enforcement mission needs, ICEPIC is currently in limited operation. Recognizing that ICE is publishing a notice of system of records for an existing system, ICE will carefully consider public comments, apply appropriate revisions, and republish the ICEPIC notice of system of records within 180 days of receipt of comments. Additionally, a Privacy Impact Assessment will be posted on the Department's privacy Web site. (See https://www.dhs.gov/privacy and follow the link to ``Privacy Impact Assessments.'')

The Department of Homeland Security is issuing a final rule exempting from certain provisions of the Privacy Act a revised and updated Privacy Act system of records maintained by the Office of Investigations in the Office of the Inspector General. The system of records is the ``Investigative Data Management System.''
