intent was to eliminate any confusion 

about with whom regulated entities and 

other persons should interact when 

complying with these various rules. 

In that document, the FAA assigned 

amendment number 65–56 to the rule. 

However, the FAA previously assigned 

that amendment number to a final rule 

that published on December 16, 2014, 

entitled ‘‘Elimination of the air traffic 

control tower operator certificate for 

controllers who hold a federal aviation 

administration credential with a tower 

rating on’’ (79 FR 74607). The correct 

amendment number should have been 

65–57A, and this action fixes that error. 

Correction 

1. On page 9162, in the first column, 

in the heading under the docket number 

correct ‘‘65–56’’ to read ‘‘65–57A’’.

[Public Notice 10425] 

RIN 1400–AD17 

Visas: Documentation of 

Nonimmigrants Under the Immigration 

and Nationality Act, as Amended 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: As a result of this rule, the 

Department of State finalizes without 

change a final rule establishing that a 

passport and a visa is required of a 

British, French, or Netherlands national, 

or of a national of Antigua, Barbados, 

Grenada, Jamaica, or Trinidad and 

Tobago, who has residence in British, 

French, or Netherlands territory located 

in the adjacent islands of the Caribbean 

area, or has residence in Antigua, 

Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, or Trinidad 

and Tobago, if the alien is proceeding to 

the United States as an agricultural 

worker. In light of past experience, and 

to promote consistency of treatment 

across H–2A agricultural workers, 

prudent border management requires 

that these temporary workers obtain a 

visa, which already is required of most 

other H–2A agricultural workers. The 

previous rule created a vulnerability by 

allowing temporary workers from these 

countries to enter the United States 

without a visa. As a consequence of the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) revising its regulations in parallel 

with State Department actions, 

temporary workers from these countries 

will continue to need H–2A visas to 

enter the United States. 

DATES: The rule is effective on August 

6, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

February 4, 2016, the Department of 

State (Department) published an interim 

final rule that would require a British, 

French, or Netherlands national, or a 

national of Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, 

Jamaica, or Trinidad and Tobago, who 

has a residence in British, French, or 

Netherlands territory located in the 

adjacent islands of the Caribbean area, 

or has residence in Antigua, Barbados, 

Grenada, Jamaica, or Trinidad and 

Tobago, to obtain a passport and visa if 

the alien is proceeding to the United 

States as an agricultural worker. A 

minor correction was published on 

February 12, 2016. 

For further information about this 

rulemaking, please see the interim final 

rule, published at 81 FR 5906 and 

correction, published at 81 FR 7454. 

Analysis of Comments: Public 

comments were due on April 4, 2016. 

The Department received three 

comments. One comment supported the 

rule as a necessary security measure. 

The Department will not make any 

changes in response to this comment. 

The remaining two comments were not 

responsive to the rulemaking. One 

comment was critical of United States 

immigration policies gemerally, and the 

other indicated support for the rule but 

focused on issues related to domestic 

agricultural concerns. Accordingly, the 

rule is final as published. 

Regulatory Findings 

The Regulatory Findings included in 

the interim final rule are incorporated 

herein. 

Executive Order 12866 and 13771 

OMB has designated this rule ‘‘not 

significant’’ under E.O. 12866. This rule 

is not subject to the requirements of E.O. 

13771 (82 FR 9339, February 3, 2017) 

because this rule is not significant under 

E.O. 12866 . 

The costs of this rulemaking are 

discussed in the companion DHS rule, 

RIN 1651–AB09, included elsewhere in 

this edition of the Federal Register. 

That discussion is incorporated by 

reference herein. The Department has 

reviewed the costs and benefits of this 

rule to ensure its consistency with the 

regulatory philosophy and principles set 

forth in Executive Order 12866 and has 

determined that the benefits of this rule 

justify its costs. 

Accordingly, the interim rule 

amending 22 CFR part 41 which was 

published at 81 FR 5906 on February 4, 

2016, is adopted as final without 

change.

Rules Governing Public Access 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, 

Department of Defense. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule removes DoD’s 

regulation requiring individuals wishing 

to visit Kaho‘olawe Island, Hawaii, to 

receive advance authorization from the 

Commanding Officer of Naval Base, 

Pearl Harbor before doing so. This part 

provided entry procedures for 

individuals wishing to visit Kaho‘olawe 

Island, Hawaii, and its adjacent waters 

due to ongoing military training 

operations and the presence of 

unexploded ordnance (UXO). On 

November 11, 2003, upon the 

completion of UXO clearance and 

environmental restoration, control of 

access to Kaho‘olawe was passed from 

the United States to the State of Hawaii. 

Since that time, Navy has not exercised 

access control to Kaho‘olawe Island or 

its adjacent waters. This part is no 

longer required. 

DATES: This rule is effective on July 6, 

2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Steven James at 703–601–0514. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It has been 

determined that publication of this rule 

removal in the CFR for public comment 

is impracticable, unnecessary, and 

contrary to public interest since it is 

based on removing policies and 

procedures that are no longer in effect, 

and which have not been in effect for 

over 14 years.

Removal of this part does not reduce 

burden or cost on the public in any way, 

nor does it add any costs. This burden 

ended in 2003. Kaho‘olawe Island was 

used by the armed forces of the United 

States as a training area, including 

bombing and gunnery training ranges, 

under authority granted by Executive 

Order No. 10436 of February 20, 1953. 

The Commanding Officer, Naval Base 

Pearl Harbor controlled entry to the 

area. Title X of the Fiscal Year 1994 

Department of Defense Appropriations 

Act directed the Navy to convey 

Kaho‘olawe and its surrounding waters 

to the state of Hawaii. As directed by 

Title X, and in accordance with a 

required memorandum of 

understanding between the U.S. Navy 

and the State of Hawaii, the Navy 

transferred the title of the island of 

Kaho‘olawe to the state of Hawaii on 

May 9, 1994. On November 11, 2003, 

upon the completion of UXO clearance 

and environmental restoration, control 

of access to Kaho‘olawe was passed 

from the United States to the State of 

Hawaii. Since that time, Navy has not 

exercised access control to Kaho‘olawe 

Island or its adjacent waters.

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Gulf 

Intracoastal Waterway, Indian Rocks 

Beach, FL 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of deviation from 

drawbridge regulation. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a 

temporary deviation from the operating 

schedule that governs the Indian Rocks 

(SR688) Bridge across the Gulf 

Intracoastal Waterway, mile 128.2, 

Indian Rocks Beach, FL. The deviation 

is necessary to accommodate repairs to 

the Bridge. This deviation allows the 

bridge to open, at requested times, a 

single leaf, and with a 6 hour notice for 

double leaf openings. 

DATES: This deviation is effective 

without actual notice from July 6, 2018 

through 6 p.m. on July 31, 2018. For the 

purposes of enforcement, actual notice 

will be used from 6 a.m. May 29, 2018, 

until July 6, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Florida 

Department of Transportation (FDOT), 

bridge owner, via Quinn Construction 

Inc, has requested a temporary deviation 

from the operation that governs the 

Indian Rocks Bridge across the Gulf 

Intracoastal Waterway, mile 128.2. This 

deviation is necessary to facilitate 

mechanical and electrical repairs, 

painting, roadway and sidewalk grating 

replacement which includes concrete 

removal, and spall repair. The bridge is 

a double-leaf bascule bridge and has a 

vertical clearance in the closed to 

navigation position of 21 feet at mean 

high water. 

The current operating schedule is set 

out in 33 CFR 117.5. Under this 

temporary deviation, the bridge will 

operate on demand but single leaf only 

and with a 6 hour notice for double leaf 

openings. This section of the Gulf 

Intracoastal Waterway is predominantly 

used by a variety of vessels including 

U.S. government vessels, small 

commercial vessels and recreational 

vessels. The Coast Guard has carefully 

considered the restrictions with 

waterway users in publishing this 

temporary deviation. 

Vessels able to pass through the 

bridge in the closed position may do so 

at anytime. The bridge will be able to 

open for emergencies and there is no 

immediate alternate route for vessels to 

pass. The Coast Guard will also inform 

the users of the waterways through our 

Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners 

of the change in operating schedule for 

the bridge so that vessel operators can 

arrange their transits to minimize any 

impact caused by the temporary 

deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the effective period of this 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. 

Dated: June 25, 2018.

38 CFR Part 17

Third Party Billing for Medical Care 

Provided Under Special Treatment 

Authorities 

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) is amending its medical 

regulations to clarify that VA will not 

bill third party payers for care and 

services provided by VA under certain 

statutory provisions, which we refer to 

as ‘‘special treatment authorities.’’ 

These special treatment authorities 

direct VA to provide care and services 

to veterans based upon discrete 

exposures or experiences that occurred 

during active military, naval, or air 

service. VA is authorized, but not 

required by law, to recover or collect 

charges for care and services provided 

to veterans for non-service-connected 

disabilities. This rule establishes that 

VA will not exercise its authority to 

recover or collect reasonable charges 

from third party payers for care and 

services provided under the special 

treatment authorities. 

DATES: This final rule is effective August 

6, 2018.
