9044 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 23 / Wednesday, February 5, 2025 / Notices 

25See 8 CFR 244.19 (‘‘Upon the termination of 

designation of a foreign state, those nationals 

afforded temporary Protected Status shall, upon the 

sixtieth (60th) day after the date notice of 

termination is published in the Federal Register, or 

on the last day of the most recent extension of 

designation by the [Secretary of Homeland 

Security], automatically and without further notice 

or right of appeal, lose Temporary Protected Status 

in the United States. Such termination of a foreign 

state’s designation is not subject to appeal.’’). 

26 DHS recognizes that certain previous TPS 

terminations allowed for an extended transition, 

especially in the case of TPS designations that had 

been extended numerous times over the course of 

many years. See, e.g., Termination of the 

Designation of El Salvador for Temporary Protected 

Status, 83 FR 2654 (Jan. 18, 2018) (nearly 17 years, 

with 18-month transition period); Termination of 

the Designation of Sudan for Temporary Protected 

Status, 82 FR 47228 (Oct. 11, 2017) (20 years, with 

12-month orderly transition period); Termination of 

the Designation of Sierra Leone Under the 

Temporary Protected Status Program; Extension of 

Employment Authorization Documentation, 68 FR 

52407 (Sept. 3, 2003) (nearly 6 years, with 6-month 

orderly transition period); Six-Month Extension of 

Temporary Protected Status Benefits for Orderly 

Transition Before Termination of Liberia’s 

Designation for Temporary Protected Status, 81 FR 

66059 (Sept. 26, 2016) (nearly 2 years, with 6- 

month orderly transition period). Those countries, 

however, generally had been designated for TPS for 

longer periods, and none of those terminations were 

based on a determination that allowing the aliens 

to remain temporarily in the United States is 

contrary to the U.S. national interest. At the same 

time, certain other TPS designations were 

terminated without allowing for an extended 

transition period. See, e.g., Termination of 

Designation of Angola Under the Temporary 

Protected Status Program, 68 FR 3896 (Jan. 27, 

2003) (nearly 3 years, no orderly transition period); 

Termination of Designation of Lebanon Under 

Temporary Protected Status Program, 58 FR 7582 

(Feb. 8, 1993) (2 years, no extended transition 

period).

Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 

CFR 207.2(f)). 

2Commissioner Rhonda K. Schmidtlein not 

participating. 

appropriate to allow for a further 

transition period. Accordingly, the 

termination of the October 3, 2023 

Venezuela TPS designation will be 

effective 60 days from the date of 

publication of this notice.25

The Secretary has considered putative 

reliance interests in the 2023 Venezuela 

TPS designation, especially when 

considering whether to allow for an 

additional transition period akin to that 

allowed under certain previous TPS 

terminations. Temporary Protected 

Status, as the name itself makes clear, is 

an inherently temporary status, TPS 

designations are time-limited and must 

be periodically reviewed, TPS notices 

clearly notify aliens of the designations’ 

expiration dates, and whether to allow 

for an orderly transition period is left to 

the Secretary’s unfettered discretion. 

See INA 244(b)(3), (d)(3); 8 U.S.C. 

1254a(b)(3), (d)(3). Any putative 

reliance interests of registrants under 

the Venezuela 2023 designation 

therefore merit only diminished weight. 

Moreover, any such putative reliance 

interests are outweighed by the 

overriding, important national interest 

considerations described in this 

notice.26

Venezuelan Nationals Registered Under 

the 2021 Venezuela Designation 

Although unorthodox, the prior 

Administration issued two separate 

designations of Venezuela. See 88 FR 

68130 (Oct. 3, 2023); 86 FR 13574 (Mar. 

9, 2021). In this notice, DHS is 

terminating only the October 3, 2023 

Venezuela TPS designation. The 2021 

Venezuela TPS designation remains in 

effect until September 10, 2025. 

Notice of Termination of the 2023 TPS 

Designation of Venezuela 

By the authority vested in the 

Secretary of Homeland Security under 

section 244(b)(3) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 

1254a(b)(3), I have reviewed, in 

consultation with appropriate agencies 

of the U.S. Government, (a) conditions 

in Venezuela; and (b) whether 

permitting the nationals of Venezuela 

(and aliens having no nationality who 

last habitually resided in Venezuela) to 

remain temporarily in the United States 

is contrary to the national interest of the 

United States. Based on my review, I 

have determined that Venezuela no 

longer continues to meet the conditions 

for the October 3, 2023 designation for 

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) under 

section 244(b)(1)(C) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 

1254a(b)(1)(C). 

Accordingly, I order as follows: 

(1) Pursuant to INA section 

244(b)(3)(B), 8 U.S.C. 1254a(b)(3)(B), 

and considering INA section 244(d)(3), 

8 U.S.C. 1254a(d)(3), the October 3, 

2023 designation of Venezuela for TPS 

is terminated effective at 11:59 p.m., 

local time, on April 7, 2025. 

(2) This notice supersedes the January 

17, 2025 notice at 90 FR 5961, the 

underlying decision for which was 

vacated on January 28, 2025. 

(3) Information concerning the 

termination of TPS for nationals of 

Venezuela (and aliens having no 

nationality who last habitually resided 

in Venezuela) under the October 3, 2023 

designation will be available at local 

USCIS offices upon publication of this 

notice and through the USCIS National 

Customer Service Center at 1–800–375– 

5283. This information will be 

published on the USCIS website at 

www.USCIS.gov.

COMMISSION 

[Investigation Nos. 701–TA–453 and 731– 

TA–1136–1137 (Third Review)] 

Sodium Nitrite From China and 

Germany 

Determinations 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject five-year reviews, the 

United States International Trade 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) 

determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 

1930 (‘‘the Act’’), that revocation of the 

antidumping and countervailing duty 

orders on sodium nitrite from China and 

the antidumping duty order on sodium 

nitrite from Germany would be likely to 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.2

Background 

The Commission instituted these 

reviews on July 1, 2024 (89 FR 54536) 

and determined on October 4, 2024 that 

it would conduct expedited reviews (89 

FR 85986, October 29, 2024). 

The Commission made these 

determinations pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)). It 

completed and filed its determinations 

in these reviews on January 31, 2025. 

The views of the Commission are 

contained in USITC Publication 5582 

(January 2025), entitled Sodium Nitrite 

from China and Germany: Investigation 

Nos. 701–TA–453 and 731–TA–1136–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Maine Yankee is a general licensee 

under part 72 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), ‘‘Licensing 

Requirements for the Independent 

Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, HighLevel Radioactive Waste, and ReactorRelated Greater Than Class C Waste.’’ 

Maine Yankee stores spent nuclear fuel 

in accordance with the requirements of 

CoC No. 1015 for the NAC–UMS®

System. Section 72.210, ‘‘General 

license issued,’’ establishes a general 

license to store spent nuclear fuel in an 

ISFSI at reactor sites licensed under 10 

CFR part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of 

Production and Utilization Facilities’’; 

Maine Yankee holds Facility Operating 

License No. DPR–36 under 10 CFR part 

50. Section 72.212, ‘‘Conditions of 

general license issued under § 72.210,’’ 

provides the conditions for use of a 

general license. Paragraph 72.212(a)(2) 

limits the storage of spent fuel to the 

approved casks listed in 10 CFR 72.214. 

Casks are approved for storage under the 

conditions specified in the respective 

CoCs. The NRC approved the use of the 

NAC–UMS® System by issuing CoC No. 

1015, effective November 20, 2000. The 

NRC subsequently issued Amendment 

No. 9 to CoC No. 1015, effective August 

29, 2022. Maine Yankee plans to adopt 

Amendment No. 9 to CoC No. 1015 as 

part of its work to adopt the renewed 

CoC No. 1015. NRC regulations require 

users to comply with the terms and 

conditions of the CoC including, but not 

limited to, the associated technical 

specifications. The requested 

exemptions would allow Maine Yankee 

to deviate from certain requirements of 

the NAC–UMS® System CoC No. 1015, 

Amendment No. 9, as discussed in this 

document. 

II. Request/Action 

Maine Yankee is requesting the 

continuation of three exemptions from 

the terms and conditions of Amendment 

No. 9 to CoC No. 1015 that were 

previously approved for Amendment 

No. 6 to CoC No. 1015. Maine Yankee 

plans to adopt Amendment No. 9 to CoC 

No. 1015 as part of its work to adopt the 

renewed CoC No. 1015. Maine Yankee 

submitted its request by letter dated 

March 28, 2024, supplemented by email 

dated October 30, 2024. Maine Yankee 

requested specific exemptions from the 

requirements in 10 CFR 72.212(a)(2), 

72.212(b)(3), 72.212(b)(5)(i), 

72.212(b)(11), and 72.214, with regard to 

certain terms and conditions of 

Appendices A and B to the technical 

specifications of Amendment No. 9 to 

CoC No. 1015 detailed as follows. 

The three requested exemptions 

mirror previously approved exemptions 

to Amendment No. 6 to CoC No. 1015; 

specifically: 

1. Appendix A, Section A.3.1.4, 

‘‘Canister Maximum Time in Transfer 

Cask.’’ This exemption is from the 

requirement to comply with the 25-day 

requirement in Limiting Condition for 

Operation 3.1.4 for canister, NAC– 

UMS–TSC–790–016.
