Agency Information Collection Activities: E-Verify Program
Document Number: 2011-19423
Type: Notice
Date: 2011-08-01
Agency: Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), on July 13, 2011, USCIS published a 60-day notice, ``Memorandum of Understanding to Participate in the Basic Pilot Employment Eligibility Program; Verify Employment Eligibility Status'' in the Federal Register at 76 FR 41279. USCIS is correcting two errors in this notice. First, the title incorrectly read ``Memorandum of Understanding to Participate in the Basic Pilot Employment Eligibility Program; Verify Employment Eligibility Status''. Instead it should read ``E-Verify Program.'' Second, comments are not requested on the E-Verify Memorandum of Understanding as previously published. Instead, comments are requested on the burden for enrolling in E-Verify (and modifying an ID/IQ contract if applicable), inputting information directly from Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification into the E-Verify web interface, and performing initial and secondary queries (for example: referring and resolving tentative nonconfirmations.). Written comments and/or suggestions regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, especially regarding the estimated public burden and associated response time, should be directed to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), USCIS, Chief, Regulatory Products Division, Office of the Executive Secretariat, 20 Massachusetts Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20529-2020. Comments may also be submitted to DHS via facsimile to 202-272-0997 or via e-mail at USCISFRComment@dhs.gov. When submitting comments by e-mail please make sure to add OMB Control Number 1615-0092 in the subject box. The public comment period is unchanged and ends September 12, 2011, as cited in the previously published 60-day notice at 76 FR 41279 on July 13, 2011.

Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2011-08-01
Agency: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security
The Coast Guard proposes to establish a permanent regulated navigation area (RNA) on a portion of Elliott Bay in Seattle, Washington.

This RNA would prohibit activities that would disturb the seabed, such as anchoring, dragging, trawling, spudding or other activities that involve disrupting the integrity of the sediment caps that cover the superfund sites. It will not affect transit or navigation of the area.

Type: Proposed Rule

The Coast Guard proposes to amend the existing regulations that implement the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended (STCW Convention), as well as the Seafarer's Training, Certification and Watchkeeping Code (STCW Code). The changes proposed in this Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SNPRM) address the comments received from the public response to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), in most cases through revisions based on those comments, and propose to incorporate the 2010 amendments to the STCW Convention that will come into force on January 1, 2012. In addition, this SNPRM proposes to make other non-STCW changes necessary to reorganize, clarify, and update these regulations.
