SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Rural 

Development has identified a technical 

error associated with the publication of 

the interim rule, in which 7 CFR Parts 

1779 and 3575 were mistakenly 

repealed. These two parts, which are the 

regulations for the Community Facilities 

and Water and Waste Disposal 

guaranteed loan programs, should not 

have been repealed at this time because, 

in part, there are other Community 

Facilities and Water and Waste Disposal 

regulations that cross-reference these 

two parts. Rural Development 

considered publishing a technical 

correction notice to reinstate these two 

regulations. Due to time constraints for 

publication in the Federal Register prior 

to the effective date of January 16, 2009, 

there was insufficient time for full 

consideration of these technical 

corrections. Therefore, Rural 

Development determined that the best 

course of action was to delay the 

effective date of the interim rule by 30 

days. 

Dated: January 9, 2009. 

Doug Faulkner, 

Acting Under Secretary for Rural 

Development.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Need for Correction 

On May 15, 2008, the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) published a 

final rule in the Federal Register at 73 

FR 28026 establishing a fee-for-service 

Genealogy Program within U.S. 

Citizenship and Immigration Services 

(USCIS) to streamline and improve the 

process for acquiring historical records 

of deceased individuals. There was an 

inadvertent error in that document. In 

the amendatory language for 

amendment 2b at 73 FR 28030, DHS 

inadvertently revised the fifth sentence 

to 8 CFR 103.7(c)(1) instead of the sixth 

sentence. As a result the fifth sentence 

in 8 CFR 103.7(c)(1) is incorrect. This 

document corrects the error.

Establishing U.S. Ports of Entry in the 

Commonwealth of the Northern 

Mariana Islands (CNMI) and 

Implementing the Guam-CNMI Visa 

Waiver Program 

AGENCY: Customs and Border Protection, 

DHS. 

ACTION: Interim final rule; solicitation of 

comments. 

SUMMARY: Section 702 of the 

Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 

2008 (CNRA) extends the immigration 

laws of the United States to the 

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 

Islands (CNMI) and provides for a visa 

waiver program for travel to Guam and 

the CNMI. This rule implements section 

702 of the CNRA by amending U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

regulations to replace the current Guam 

Visa Waiver Program with a new GuamCNMI Visa Waiver Program. 

Accordingly, this interim final rule sets 

forth the requirements for nonimmigrant 

visitors who seek admission for 

business or pleasure and solely for entry 

into and stay on Guam or the CNMI 

without a visa for a period of authorized 

stay of no longer than forty-five days. In 

addition, this rule establishes six ports 

of entry in the CNMI in order to 

administer and enforce the Guam-CNMI 

Visa Waiver Program and to allow for 

immigration inspections in the CNMI, 

including arrival and departure 

controls, under the Immigration and 

Nationality Act (INA). 

DATES: Effective Date: This interim final 

rule is effective January 16, 2009. 

Implementation Date: Beginning June 

1, 2009, Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) will begin operation of this 

program and required compliance with 

this interim final rule will begin. The 

existing Guam Visa Waiver Program
