Department of Homeland Security May 8, 2018 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to modify, rename, and reissue a current DHS U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) system of records titled, ``Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)-007 Alien Criminal Response Information Management (ACRIMe).'' This system of records allows the Department to receive and respond to criminal history and immigration status inquiries made by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, and other federal agencies, including the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This system of records notice (SORN) covers records the Department collects and maintains on individuals who are: Arrested; screened as part of a background check to determine suitability for employment, access, or other purposes; screened to verify or ascertain citizenship or immigration status, immigration history, and criminal history to inform an HHS determination regarding sponsorship of an unaccompanied alien child; or otherwise encountered by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. DHS may also use information maintained in this system of records for other purposes consistent with its statutory authorities. As a result of a biennial review of this system, the Department is updating this SORN to: Change the system of records name to Criminal History and Immigration Verification (CHIVe); add one new category of individuals to include individuals seeking approval from HHS to sponsor an unaccompanied alien child and/or other adult members of the potential sponsor's household; add one new category of records to include biometrics for potential sponsors of an unaccompanied alien child and/or other adult members of the potential sponsor's household; expand a category of records to include screening to verify or ascertain citizenship or immigration status, immigration history, and criminal history for sponsorship of unaccompanied alien children; add a new purpose of the system: To screen individuals to verify or ascertain citizenship or immigration status, immigration history, and criminal history to inform determinations regarding sponsorship of unaccompanied alien children who are in the care and custody of HHS; add a new routine use to describe how the DHS may share information from this system of records with HHS; modify routine use (E) and add routine use (F) to conform to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum M- 17-12 ``Preparing for and Responding to a Breach of Personally Identifiable Information'' (Jan. 3, 2017); revise the records retention periods so that they align with the records schedule approved by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA); and clarify that DHS may use information maintained in this system of records for other purposes consistent with its statutory authorities. Because this system will no longer cover information related to public tips, ICE is also updating the SORN to: Remove two categories of individuals; remove two categories of records; remove one routine use that allows DHS to disclose reports of suspicious activity, tips, potential violations of law, and other relevant information to external law enforcement agencies; and remove four purposes for the collection of information. Additionally, this notice includes non-substantive changes to simplify the formatting and text of the previously published notice. This modified system of records will be included in DHS's inventory of record systems. ICE will issue a new Privacy Act rulemaking, elsewhere in the Federal Register.

This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major disaster for the State of Ohio (FEMA-4360-DR), dated April 17, 2018, and related determinations.

On April 5, 2018, FEMA published in the Federal Register a proposed flood hazard determination notice that contained an erroneous table. This notice provides corrections to that table, to be used in lieu of the information published at 83 FR 14651-14652. The table provided here represents the proposed flood hazard determinations and communities affected for York County, Nebraska and Incorporated Areas.

Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the contents of those buildings.

This notice amends the notice of a major disaster for the Resighini Rancheria (FEMA-4312-DR), dated May 2, 2017, and related determinations.

Flood hazard determinations, which may include additions or modifications of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or regulatory floodways on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports have been made final for the communities listed in the table below. The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that a community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS report are used by insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for buildings and the contents of those buildings.

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 the Code of Federal Regulations. 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.
