Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 125 / Thursday, June 28, 2018 / Notices 30451 

These proposed flood hazard 

determinations, together with the 

floodplain management criteria required 

by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that 

are required. They should not be 

construed to mean that the community 

must change any existing ordinances 

that are more stringent in their 

floodplain management requirements. 

The community may at any time enact 

stricter requirements of its own or 

pursuant to policies established by other 

Federal, State, or regional entities. 

These flood hazard determinations are 

used to meet the floodplain 

management requirements of the NFIP 

and also are used to calculate the 

appropriate flood insurance premium 

rates for new buildings built after the 

FIRM and FIS report become effective. 

The communities affected by the 

flood hazard determinations are 

provided in the tables below. Any 

request for reconsideration of the 

revised flood hazard information shown 

on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS report 

that satisfies the data requirements 

outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b) is considered 

an appeal. Comments unrelated to the 

flood hazard determinations also will be 

considered before the FIRM and FIS 

report become effective. 

Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel 

(SRP) is available to communities in 

support of the appeal resolution 

process. SRPs are independent panels of 

experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and 

other pertinent sciences established to 

review conflicting scientific and 

technical data and provide 

recommendations for resolution. Use of 

the SRP only may be exercised after 

FEMA and local communities have been 

engaged in a collaborative consultation 

process for at least 60 days without a 

mutually acceptable resolution of an 

appeal. Additional information 

regarding the SRP process can be found 

online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/ 

srp_overview.pdf. 

The watersheds and/or communities 

affected are listed in the tables below. 

The Preliminary FIRM, and where 

applicable, FIS report for each 

community are available for inspection 

at both the online location https://

www.fema.gov/preliminary

floodhazarddata and the respective 

Community Map Repository address 

listed in the tables. For communities 

with multiple ongoing Preliminary 

studies, the studies can be identified by 

the unique project number and 

Preliminary FIRM date listed in the 

tables. Additionally, the current 

effective FIRM and FIS report for each 

community are accessible online 

through the FEMA Map Service Center 

at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

that are more stringent in their 

floodplain management requirements. 

The community may at any time enact 

stricter requirements of its own or 

pursuant to policies established by other 

Federal, State, or regional entities. 

These flood hazard determinations are

Extension of Employment 

Authorization for Nepali F–1 

Nonimmigrant Students Experiencing 

Severe Economic Hardship Relating to 

the April 25, 2015 Earthquake in the 

Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal 

AGENCY: U.S. Immigration and Customs 

Enforcement (ICE), DHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice informs the public 

of the extension of suspension of certain 

regulatory requirements for F–1 

nonimmigrant students whose country 

of citizenship is the Federal Democratic 

Republic of Nepal (Nepal) in order to 

avoid severe economic hardship that 

otherwise would result from the 

immediate, abrupt cessation of the 

temporarily suspended regulatory 

requirements governing on-campus and 

off-campus employment previously 

afforded due to the damage caused by 

the earthquake in Nepal on April 25, 

2015. An earlier notice suspended these 

requirements for eligible Nepali F–1 

nonimmigrant students. This notice 

extends eligibility for relief afforded 

under that earlier notice. Qualified 

students will continue to be allowed to 

apply for employment authorization and 

work an increased number of hours 

while school is in session provided that 

they satisfy the minimum course load 

requirement, while continuing to 

maintain their F–1 student status until 

June 24, 2019. 

DATES: This F–1 notice is effective June 

28, 2018 and will remain in effect 

through June 24, 2019. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Sharon Snyder, Unit Chief, Student and 

Exchange Visitor Program, MS 5600, 

U.S. Immigration and Customs 

Enforcement, 500 12th Street SW, 

Washington, DC 20536–5600; (703) 603– 

3400. This is not a toll-free number. 

Program information can be found at 

http://www.ice.gov/sevis/. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

What action is DHS taking under this 

notice? 

The Secretary of Homeland Security 

is exercising her authority under 8 CFR 

214.2(f)(9) to extend the temporary 

suspension of certain requirements 

governing on-campus and off-campus 

employment for F–1 nonimmigrant 

students whose country of citizenship is 

Nepal in order to avoid severe economic 

hardship that otherwise would result 

from the immediate, abrupt cessation of 

the temporarily suspended regulatory 

requirements governing on-campus and 

off-campus employment previously 

afforded due to the damage caused by 

the earthquake in Nepal on April 25, 

2015. See 80 FR 69237 (Nov. 9, 2015). 

The original notice was effective from 

November 9, 2015 until December 24, 

2016. A subsequent notice provided for 

an 18-month extension from December 

27, 2016 through June 24, 2018. See 81 

FR 95161 (Dec. 27, 2016). Effective with 

this publication, suspension of the 

requirements for qualifying students is 

extended from June 28, 2018 through 

June 24, 2019, after which the extension 

expires. 

The Secretary’s decision to 

temporarily extend the suspension of 

certain requirements takes into account 

the factors that led to her decision to 

terminate Temporary Protected Status 

(TPS), as detailed below. The Secretary 

has determined that conditions in Nepal 

no longer support TPS designation. To 

provide for an orderly transition 

regarding TPS, the Secretary is 

terminating that designation effective at 

11:59 p.m., local time, on June 24, 2019. 

See 83 FR 23705 (May 22, 2018). 

For reasons that are similar to those 

leading to the decision to terminate 

Nepal’s TPS designation, the Secretary 

is unlikely to further extend the 

suspension of the requirements 

governing on-campus and off-campus 

employment for F–1 nonimmigrant 

students who are experiencing severe 

economic hardship (8 CFR 214.2(f)(9)) 

after June 24, 2019. DHS strongly 

advises individuals who would be 

impacted by such decision to take steps 

to prepare themselves for that
