31450 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 130 / Friday, July 6, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 

8 Derived from International Labor Organization’s 

ILOSTAT internet Database. Available at http://

www.ilo.org/ilostat. Accessed October 12, 2016. Our 

weekly wage estimate (18,832 Jamaican Dollars per 

week) is from the ‘‘Mean nominal monthly earnings 

of employees by type of scenario’’ report for all 

sectors in 2013 which is the last data year available. 

Our weekly hours worked estimate (40.7 hours per 

week) is from the ‘‘Hours of work, by economic 

activity’’ report for all sectors in 2008 which is the 

last year available for this data point. We converted 

the wage rate to U.S. dollars using the currency 

converter available at http://www.xe.com/ 

currencyconverter/ on October 12, 2016. 18,832 

Jamaican Dollars divided by 40.7 hours per week, 

multiplied by 0.0078155 U.S. dollars per Jamaican 

dollar = $3.62 U.S. dollars per hour. 

a total of 10.25 hours of the applicant’s 

time. To the extent the actual time 

burden to travel to and from the 

interview is less than we estimated, 

costs would be lower. Using the average 

Jamaican wage rate of $3.62/hour 8 and 

a range of 190 to 4,215 workers per year, 

we estimate the cost of the time to 

Jamaican workers as a result of this rule 

to be between $7,050 (our primary 

estimate) and $156,398 per year. 

Combining this with the cost of the visa 

application fee, we estimate that the 

total annual cost of this rule is between 

$43,150 and $957,248. 

We are unable to quantify the benefits 

of this rule; therefore we discuss the 

benefits qualitatively. Requiring these 

prospective H–2A agricultural workers 

to obtain visas ensures that they are 

properly screened prior to arrival in the 

United States. This lessens the 

possibility that a person who poses a 

security risk to the United States and 

other potential immigration violators 

may improperly gain admission to the 

United States. DHS has determined that 

visitors from the countries affected by 

this rule are not a lower security risk 

than those coming from other countries; 

therefore, CBP believes that they should 

be subject to the same screening. Also, 

prescreening and appearing before 

consular officers provide greater 

opportunities to ensure compliance 

with DHS and DOL H–2A rules, 

including those regulatory provisions 

prohibiting the payment of fees by 

workers in connection with or as a 

condition of employment or 

recruitment. 

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.), as amended by the 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

and Fairness Act of 1996, requires an 

agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility 

analysis that describes the effect of a 

proposed rule on small entities when 

the agency is required to publish a 

general notice of proposed rulemaking. 

A small entity may be a small business 

(defined as any independently owned 

and operated business not dominant in 

its field that qualifies as a small 

business per the Small Business Act); a 

small not-for-profit organization; or a 

small governmental jurisdiction 

(locality with fewer than 50,000 people). 

Since a general notice of proposed 

rulemaking was not necessary, a 

regulatory flexibility analysis is not 

required. 

C. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995 

This rule will not result in the 

expenditure by State, local, and tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of $100 million or more 

in any one year, and it will not 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments. Therefore, no actions are 

necessary under the provisions of the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995. 

D. Executive Order 13132 

The rule will not have substantial 

direct effects on the States, on the 

relationship between the National 

Government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 6 of Executive 

Order 13132, this rule does not have 

sufficient federalism implications to 

warrant the preparation of a federalism 

summary impact statement. 

Amendments to the Regulations 

For the reasons set forth above, the 

interim final rule amending 8 CFR part 

212, which was published at 81 FR 6430 

on February 8, 2016, is adopted as final 

without change.

Aviation Safety Organization Changes; 

Correction 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is correcting a final 

rule published on March 5, 2018. In that 

rule, the FAA replaced specific 

references to offices within the Aircraft 

Certification Service and the Flight 

Standards Service with generic 

references not dependent on any 

particular office structure. The FAA 

incorrectly assigned amendment 

number 65–56 to this rule. The correct 

amendment number is 65–57A and this 

action fixes this error. 

DATES: Effective July 6, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 5, 2018, the FAA published 

a final rule entitled, ‘‘Aviation Safety 

Organization Changes’’ (83 FR 9162). In 

that final rule, the FAA replaced 

specific references to Aircraft 

Certification Service (AIR) and Flight 

Standards Service (AFS) offices with 

generic references not dependent on any 

particular office structure. This rule did 

not impose any new obligations and the 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 130 / Friday, July 6, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 31451 

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’’. 

Issued under authority provided by 49 

U.S.C. 106(f), 44701(a), and 44703 in 

Washington, DC, on June 27, 2018.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

22 CFR Part 41 

[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. 

Dated: June 29, 2018.

Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Consular 

Affairs, Department of State.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Navy 

32 CFR Part 763 

[Docket ID: USN–2018–HQ–0006] 

RIN 0703–AB00 

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.
