The Coast Guard is establishing a Special Local Regulation for the ``Swim Harbor Island'' swim event, to be held on the waters adjacent to and surrounding Harbor Island in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. This Special Local Regulation is necessary to provide for the safety of life on navigable waters during the event.

The Commander, First Coast Guard District, has issued a temporary deviation from the regulation governing the operation of the Route 35 Bridge across Cheesequake Creek, mile 0.0, at Morgan, South Amboy, New Jersey.

The Coast Guard published a Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register on August 1, 2012 (77 FR 45539) proposing rate adjustments for pilotage services on the Great Lakes. The charge rate, as listed in Sec. 401.407, Area 5 (Designated Waters) of that NPRM, is incorrect.

On May 10, 2012, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) published a 60-day notice in the Federal Register at 77 FR 27474 to extend, without change, this information collection, but incorrectly stated in the title, ``Revision of an Existing Information Collection Request'' due to a typographical error. USCIS, however, correctly stated in the body of this 60-day notice that the type of information collection request was for an ``Extension of an existing information collection.'' This document corrects the typographical error in title of the 60-day notice to read, ``Extension, without Change, of a Currently Approved Collection.''

USCIS received one comment submission in connection with the 60-day notice and USCIS acknowledges receipt in item 8 of the supporting statement.

The Coast Guard is proposing changes to the existing regulated navigation area in the navigable waters of New Haven Harbor, Quinnipiac River and Mill River. The current RNA pertains only to the operation of tugs and barges. The changes would allow periodic, temporary closure of the area which will be needed during construction of the new Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge, and which could be needed at other times as well. This proposed revision would allow the Coast Guard to suspend all vessel traffic through the RNA during periods of temporary closure. This rule is necessary to provide for the safety of life in the regulated area.

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of Homeland Security proposes to update and reissue the Department of Homeland Security system of records notice currently titled,'' Department of Homeland Security/U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services006 Fraud Detection and National Security Data - System and renaming it Fraud Detection and National Security Records.'' This system of records assists the Department of Homeland Security/U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in performing its statutory missions including strengthening the integrity of the nation's legal immigration system by ensuring that immigration benefits are not granted to individuals that may pose a threat to national security and/ or public safety. In addition, this system of records assists the Department of Homeland Security/U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' recording, tracking, and managing immigration inquiries, investigative referrals, law enforcement requests, and case determinations involving benefit fraud, criminal activity, public safety and national security concerns. This system of records is being updated to more clearly describe the functions of the Fraud Detection and National Security Directorate and clarify that the system of records contains both electronic and paper files.

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security proposes to update and reissue a current Department of Homeland Security system of records titled ``Department of Homeland Security/United States Citizenship and Immigration Services011 E- Verify Program System of Records.'' The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services E-Verify Program allows employers to check citizenship status and verify employment eligibility of newly hired employees. The Department of Homeland Security is updating this Privacy Act System of Records Notice for the E-Verify Program in order to provide notice that E-Verify is: (1) Updating the ``Category of Individuals'' to remove USCIS employees and contractors, which are covered under the DHS/ALL-004 General Information Technology Access Account Records System SORN, and to remove individuals who have locked their Social Security Number (SSN) in E-Verify since this functionality is not available; (2) adding the collection of the foreign passport country of issuance (COI) from the employers using the recently updated Form I-9 and from the United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) Arrival and Departure Information System (ADIS) to the ``Categories of Records;'' (3) moving the list of sources of records from ``Category of Records'' to ``Record Source Categories,'' removing two decommissioned systems and adding two new systems to ``Record Source Categories;'' (4) removing the monitoring and compliance ``Category of Records'' because those are now covered by the Compliance Tracking and Management System (CTMS) SORN (74 FR 24022); (5) updating the system location information for the Verification Information System (VIS), the underlying technology supporting the E-Verify program, from a contractor-owned facility in Meriden, CT to a government-owned facility in Stennis, MS; (6) incorporating minor changes to the ``Routine Uses'' to improve clarity; and (7) adding COI to ``Retrievability'' as a way in which DHS may retrieve records in this system of records. This updated system is included in the Department of Homeland Security's inventory of record systems.

This rule identifies communities where the sale of flood insurance has been authorized under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) that are scheduled for suspension on the effective dates listed within this rule because of noncompliance with the floodplain management requirements of the program. If the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) receives documentation that the community has adopted the required floodplain management measures prior to the effective suspension date given in this rule, the suspension will not occur and a notice of this will be provided by publication in the Federal Register on a subsequent date. Also, information identifying the current participation status of a community can be obtained from FEMA's Community Status Book (CSB). The CSB is available at https:// www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm.

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).

This notice lists communities where the addition or modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title 44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR Part 65). The LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used for all new policies and renewals.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will hold two public meetings to solicit input from stakeholders and interested members of the public on the scope of a proposed revision of ``Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants,'' NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, Rev. 1.
