DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Office of the Secretary
6 CFR Chs. I and II
[DHS Docket No. OGC-RP-04-001]
Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DHS.
ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.
_______________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY: This regulatory agenda is a semiannual summary of all current
and projected rulemakings, existing regulations, and completed actions
of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its components. This
agenda provides the public with information about DHS's regulatory
activity. DHS expects that this information will enable the public to
be more aware of, and effectively participate in, the Department's
regulatory activity. DHS invites the public to submit comments on any
aspect of this agenda.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
General
Please direct general comments and inquiries on the agenda to
the Regulatory Affairs Law Division, U.S. Department of Homeland
Security, Office of the General Counsel, 245 Murray Lane, Mail Stop
0485, Washington, DC 20528-0485.
Specific
Please direct specific comments and inquiries on individual
regulatory actions identified in this agenda to the individual
listed in the summary of the regulation as the point of contact for
that regulation.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DHS provides this notice pursuant to the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-354, Sep.
19, 1980) and Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and Review''
(Sep. 30, 1993), which require the Department to publish a semiannual
agenda of regulations. The regulatory agenda is a summary of all
current and projected rulemakings, as well as actions completed since
the publication of the last regulatory agenda for the Department. DHS's
last semiannual regulatory agenda was published on April 26, 2010 at 75
FR 21806.
Beginning in fall 2007, the Internet became the basic means for
disseminating the Unified Agenda. The complete Unified Agenda is
available online at www.reginfo.gov.
As part of the Unified Agenda, federal agencies are also
required to prepare a Regulatory Plan of the most important
significant regulatory actions that the agency reasonably expects
to issue in proposed or final form in that fiscal year. As in past
years, for fall editions of the Unified Agenda, the entire
Regulatory Plan and agency regulatory flexibility agendas, in
accordance with the publication requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, are printed in the Federal Register.
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602) requires federal
agencies to publish their regulatory flexibility agenda in the
Federal Register.A regulatory flexibility agenda shall contain,
among other things, ``a brief description of the subject area of
any rule . . . which is likely to have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.'' DHS's printed
agenda entries include regulatory actions that are in the
Department's regulatory flexibility agenda. Printing of these
entries is limited to fields that contain information required by
the agenda provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Additional
information on these entries is available in the Unified Agenda
published on the Internet.
The semiannual agenda of the Department conforms to the Unified
Agenda format developed by the Regulatory Information Service
Center.
Dated: September 10, 2010.

Acting Associate General Counsel for Regulatory Affairs.

377. U. S. CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES FEE SCHEDULE
Legal Authority: 8 USC 1356(m)
Abstract: This rule will adjust the fee schedule for U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services (USCIS) immigration and naturalization benefit
applications and petitions, including nonimmigrant applications and
visa petitions. These fees fund the cost of processing applications and
petitions for immigration benefits and services, and USCIS' associated
operating costs. USCIS is revising these fees because the current fee
schedule does not adequately recover the full costs of services
provided by USCIS. Without an adjustment of the fee schedule, USCIS
cannot provide adequate capacity to process all applications and
petitions in a timely and efficient manner. The fee review is
undertaken pursuant to the requirements of the Chief Financial Officers
Act of 1990 (CFO Act), 31 U.S.C. 901-03. The CFO Act requires each
agency's chief financial officer (CFO) to ``review, on a biennial
basis, the fees, royalties, rents, and other charges imposed by the
agency for services and things of value it provides, and make
recommendations on revising those charges to reflect
[[Page 79791]]
costs incurred by it in providing those services and things of value.``
Id. at 902(a)(8). This rule will reflect recommendations made by the
DHS CFO and USCIS CFO, as required under the CFO Act.

Legal Authority: 46 USC 12301
Abstract: Title 46 U.S.C. 12301, as amended by the Abandoned Barge Act
of 1992, requires that all undocumented barges of more than 100 gross
tons operating on the navigable waters of the United States be
numbered. This rulemaking would establish a numbering system for these
barges. The numbering of undocumented barges will allow identification
of owners of barges found abandoned and help prevent future marine
pollution. This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's broad role and
responsibility of maritime stewardship.

379. COMMERCIAL FISHING INDUSTRY VESSELS
Legal Authority: 46 USC 4502(a) to 4502(d); 46 USC 4505 and 4506; 46
USC 6104; 46 USC 10603; DHS Delegation No. 0170.1(92)
Abstract: This rulemaking would amend commercial fishing industry
vessel requirements to enhance maritime safety. Commercial fishing
remains one of the most dangerous industries in America. The Commercial
Fishing Industry Vessel Safety Act of 1988 (``the Act,'' codified in 46
U.S.C. chapter 45) gives the Coast Guard regulatory authority to
improve the safety of vessels operating in that industry. Although
significant reductions in industry deaths were recorded after the Coast
Guard issued its initial rules under the Act in 1991, we believe more
deaths and serious injury can be avoided through compliance with new
regulations in the following areas: vessel stability and watertight
integrity, vessel maintenance and safety equipment including crew
immersion suits, crew training and drills, and improved documentation
of regulatory compliance.

No 0170.1; PL 103-206, 107 Stat 2439
Abstract: The Coast Guard proposes developing a rule that addresses
both the stability calculations and the environmental operating
requirements for certain domestic passenger vessels. The proposed rule
would address the outdated per-person weight averages that are
currently used in stability calculations for certain domestic passenger
vessels. In addition, the proposed rule would add environmental
operating requirements for domestic passenger vessels that could be
adversely affected by sudden inclement weather. This rulemaking would
increase passenger safety by significantly reducing the risk of certain
types of passenger vessels capsizing due to either passenger
overloading or operating these vessels in hazardous weather conditions.
This rulemaking would support the Coast Guard's broad role and
responsibility of maritime safety.

384. CLAIMS PROCEDURES UNDER THE OIL POLLUTION ACT OF 1990 (USCG-2004-
17697)
Legal Authority: 33 USC 2713 and 2714
Abstract: This rulemaking implements section 1013 (Claims Procedures)
and section 1014 (Designation of Source and Advertisement) of the Oil
Pollution Act of 1990. An interim rule was published in 1992, and
provides the basic requirements for the filing of claims for
uncompensated removal costs or damages resulting from the discharge of
oil, for the designation of the sources of the discharge, and for the
advertisement of where claims are to be filed. The interim rule also
includes the processing of natural resource damage (NRD) claims. The
NRD claims, however, were not processed until September 25, 1997, when
the Department of Justice issued an opinion that the Oil Spill
Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF) is available, without further
appropriation, to pay trustee NRD claims under the general claims
provisions of the Oil Pollution Act (OPA) of 1990, 33 U.S.C.
2712(a)(4). This rulemaking supports the Coast Guard's broad role and
responsibility of maritime stewardship.

385. <> BULK SOLID HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: HARMONIZATION
WITH THE INTERNATIONAL MARITIME SOLID BULK CARGOES (IMSBC) CODE
Legal Authority: 33 USC 1602; 46 USC 3306; 46 USC 5111; 49 USC 5103; EO
12234; DHS Delegation No. 0170.1
Abstract: This rulemaking proposed to align national regulations with
the adoption of amendments to Chapter VI of the International
Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974, as amended, for
foreign and domestic vessels' international trade. It also proposed to
eliminate the need to maintain previously-issued Coast Guard special
permits for the carriage of solid hazardous materials in bulk.
This project supports the Coast Guard Marine Safety and Environmental
Protection program's goals to reduce crew member deaths and injuries on
U.S. commercial vessels, to reduce the
[[Page 79793]]
amount of environmentally hazardous substances discharged into the
nation's waterways, and to promote the Coast Guard's strategic goal of
maritime safety.

COASTWISE POINTS
Legal Authority: 46 USC 55102
Abstract: The Jones Act provides that only coastwise-qualified vessels
may transport merchandise between coastwise points. During 2009, U.S.
Customs and Border Protection proposed modifying previously-issued
ruling letters that determined whether the transportation of certain
articles and equipment by non-coastwise-qualified vessels between
coastwise points was in violation of the Jones Act. Because any
determination on this matter made by CBP would impact a broad range of
regulated parties, and the scope of potential economic impact of any
change in existing practice is unknown, CBP is issuing an advance
notice of proposed rulemaking to solicit public comment.

389. MODIFICATION OF THE AVIATION SECURITY INFRASTRUCTURE FEE (ASIF)
(MARKET SHARE)
Legal Authority: 49 USC 44901; 49 USC 44940
Abstract: The Transportation Security Administration will propose a
method for apportioning the Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee (ASIF)
among air carriers. The ASIF is a fee imposed on air carriers and
foreign air carriers to help pay the Government's costs of providing
civil aviation security services.
Starting in fiscal year 2005, the Aviation and Transportation Security
Act (ATSA) (Pub. L. 107-71; Nov. 19, 2001), codified at 49 U.S.C.
44940, authorizes TSA to change the methodology for imposing the ASIF
on air carriers and foreign air carriers from a system based on their
2000 screening costs to a system based on market share or other
appropriate measures.
On November 5, 2003, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
published a notice requesting comment on possible changes in order to
allow for open industry and public input. TSA sought comments on issues
regarding how to impose the ASIF, and whether, when, and how often the
ASIF should be adjusted. The comment period was extended on the notice
for an additional 30 days, until February 5, 2004. TSA is developing a
market share methodology and intends to seek public comments through
issuance of a notice of proposed rulemaking.
