Afriqqiya, also known as Tawhid Wal 

Jihad in West Africa, also known as

significant risk of committing, acts of 

terrorism that threaten the security of 

U.S. nationals or the national security, 

foreign policy, or economy of the United 

States. 

Consistent with the determination in 

section 10 of Executive Order 13224 that 

‘‘prior notice to persons determined to 

be subject to the Order who might have 

a constitutional presence in the United 

States would render ineffectual the 

blocking and other measures authorized 

in the Order because of the ability to 

transfer funds instantaneously,’’ I 

determine that no prior notice needs to 

be provided to any person subject to this 

determination who might have a 

constitutional presence in the United 

States, because to do so would render 

ineffectual the measures authorized in 

the Order. 

This notice shall be published in the 

Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

1318 of MAP–21 (112 Pub. L. 141, 126 

Stat. 405) requires a survey of CE use for 

transportation projects since 2005, a 

description of CE actions and any 

requests for new CEs received by the 

Secretary since 2005, and a solicitation 

request for new CEs from a variety of 

stakeholders. The statute requires 

publication of the survey. 

To comply with the survey 

requirement, the FHWA and FTA 

reviewed the administrative records of 

rulemakings for new FHWA and/or FTA 

CEs since 2005 and in the Department’s 

review of regulations in 2011. The 

administrative records for the 

rulemakings included Notice of 

Proposed Rulemakings (NPRM), public 

comments on these rulemakings, and as 

final rules associated with these 

NPRMs, as applicable (72 FR 44038 

(Aug. 7, 2007), Docket No. FTA–2006– 

26604 and 77 FR 15310 (Mar. 15, 2012), 

Docket No. FTA–2011–0056). In 

addition, FHWA and FTA reviewed 

requests for new CEs received as a part 

of the assessment of Federal regulations 

in response to the President’s Executive 

Order 13563 (Improving Regulation and 

Regulatory Review, January 18, 2011). 

The request for new CEs was 

documented in the Retrospective 

Review and Analysis of Existing Rules 

(Department of Transportation, August 

2011). Also, in September 2012, the 

Secretary sent a questionnaire, OMB 

Control No. 2125–0632, to SDOTs, 

transit authorities, MPOs, local public 

agencies, and federally recognized 

Tribal Governments asking for actions 

they request for consideration as new 

CEs through rulemaking. 

The questionnaire asked SDOTs, 

transit authorities, MPOs, and federally 

recognized Tribal Governments to 

provide information on: 

• CEs processed as a part of the NEPA 

for transportation projects since 2005;
