AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DHS. 

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda. 

SUMMARY: This regulatory agenda is a 

semiannual summary of projected 

regulations, existing regulations, and 

completed actions of the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) and its 

components. This agenda provides the 

public with information about DHS’s 

regulatory and deregulatory activity. 

DHS expects that this information will 

enable the public to be more aware of, 

and effectively participate in, the 

Department’s regulatory and 

deregulatory activity. DHS invites the 

public to submit comments on any 

aspect of this agenda.

requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96–354, Sept. 19, 

1980) and Executive Order 12866 

‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review’’ 

(Sept. 30, 1993) as incorporated in 

Executive Order 13563 ‘‘Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review’’ 

(Jan. 18, 2011), which require the 

Department to publish a semiannual 

agenda of regulations. The regulatory 

agenda is a summary of existing and 

projected regulations as well as actions 

completed since the publication of the 

last regulatory agenda for the 

Department. DHS’s last semiannual 

regulatory agenda was published online 

on December 10, 2021, at http://

www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

eAgendaMain. 

Beginning in fall 2007, the internet 

became the basic means for 

disseminating the Unified Agenda. The 

complete Unified Agenda is available 

online at www.reginfo.gov. 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 602) requires Federal agencies to 

publish their regulatory flexibility 

agendas in the Federal Register. A 

regulatory flexibility agenda shall 

contain, among other things, a brief 

description of the subject area of any 

rule which is likely to have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. DHS’s printed 

agenda entries include regulatory 

actions that are in the Department’s 

regulatory flexibility agenda. Printing of 

these entries is limited to fields that 

contain information required by the 

agenda provisions of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. Additional information 

on these entries is available in the 

Unified Agenda published on the 

internet. 

The semiannual agenda of the 

Department conforms to the Unified 

Agenda format developed by the 

Regulatory Information Service Center.

123. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration 

Services Fee Schedule [1615–AC68] 

Legal Authority: 8 U.S.C. 1356(m), (n) 

Abstract: DHS will propose to adjust 

the fees charged by U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services (USCIS) for 

immigration and naturalization benefit 

requests. On August 3, 2020, DHS 

adjusted the fees USCIS charges for 

immigration and naturalization benefit 

requests, imposed new fees, revised 

certain fee waiver and exemption 

policies, and changed certain 

application requirements via the rule 

‘‘USCIS Fee Schedule & Changes to 

Certain Other Immigration Benefit 

Request Requirements.’’ DHS has been 

preliminarily enjoined from 

implementing that rule by court order. 

This rule would rescind and replace the 

changes made by the August 3, 2020, 

rule and establish new USCIS fees to 

recover USCIS operating costs.

Abstract: The Coast Guard proposes to 

amend the lifejacket approval 

requirements and follow-up program 

requirements by incorporating new binational standards. At the same time, 

the Coast Guard proposes to amend 

lifejacket and personal flotation devices 

(PFDs) carriage requirements to allow 

for the use of equipment approved to 

the new standards, and to remove 

obsolete equipment approval 

requirements. The new standards are 

state-of-the-art and are intended to 

replace the legacy standards. The 

proposed amendments will streamline 

the process for approval of PFDs and 

allow manufacturers the opportunity to 

produce more innovative equipment 

that meets the approval requirements of 

both Canada and the United States, 

while reducing the burden for 

manufacturers in both the approval 

process and follow-up program. These 

proposed changes are expected to 

promote economic relief. The proposed 

rule is expected to promote economic 

relief by reducing the regulatory burden 

on PFD manufacturers by harmonizing 

our PFD approval standards with 

Canada, requiring less frequent 

inspections of manufacturing facilities, 

providing lower cost PFD user manuals, 

and by creating a new market in PFDs 

with a lower buoyancy rating. This rule 

is consistent with Executive Order 

14058, which directs agencies to take 

actions that improve service delivery 

and customer experience by decreasing 

administrative burdens, enhancing 

transparency, and improving the 

efficiency and effectiveness of 

government.

Abstract: This final rule implements 

the provisions of section 203 of the 

Security and Accountability for Every 

Port Act of 2006. On November 25, 

2008, Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) published an interim final rule 

(CBP Dec. 08–46) in the Federal 

Register (73 FR 71730), that finalized 

most of the provisions proposed in the 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. It 

requires carrier and importers to 

provide to CBP, via a CBP approved 

electronic data interchange system, 

certain advance information pertaining 

to cargo brought into the United States 

by vessel to enable CBP to identify highrisk shipments to prevent smuggling 

and ensure cargo safety and security. 

The interim final rule did not finalize 

six data elements that were identified as 

areas of potential concern for industry 

during the rulemaking process and, for 

which, CBP provided some type of 

flexibility for compliance with those 

data elements. CBP solicited public 

comment on these six data elements and 

also invited comments on the revised 

Regulatory Assessment and Final 

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis. (See 73

129. Implementation of the GuamCNMI VISA Waiver Program (Section 

610 Review) [1651–AA77] 

Legal Authority: Pub. L. 110–229, sec. 

702 

Abstract: The interim final rule 

amends Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS) regulations to 

implement section 702 of the 

Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 

2008 (CNRA). This law extends the 

immigration laws of the United States to 

the Commonwealth of the Northern 

Mariana Islands (CNMI) and provides 

for a joint visa waiver program for travel 

to Guam and the CNMI. This rule 

implements section 702 of the CNRA by 

amending the regulations to replace the 

current Guam Visa Waiver Program with 

a new Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver 

Program. The amended regulations set 

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. This rule also establishes 

six ports of entry in the CNMI for 

purposes of administering and enforcing 

the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program. 

Section 702 of the Consolidated Natural 

Resources Act of 2008 (CNRA), subject 

to a transition period, 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/or the CNMI. On January 16, 

2009, the Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS), Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP), issued an interim final 

rule in the Federal Register replacing 

the then-existing Guam Visa Waiver 

Program with the Guam-CNMI Visa 

Waiver Program and setting forth the 

requirements for nonimmigrant visitors 

seeking admission into Guam and/or the 

CNMI under the Guam-CNMI Visa 

Waiver Program. As of November 28, 

2009, the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver 

Program is operational. This program 

allows nonimmigrant visitors from 

eligible countries to seek admission for 

business or pleasure for entry into Guam 

and/or the CNMI without a visa for a 

period of authorized stay not to exceed 

45 days. This rulemaking would finalize 

the January 2009 interim final rule.

130. Amending Vetting Requirements 

for Employees With Access to a 

Security Identification Display Area 

(SIDA) [1652–AA70] 

Legal Authority: Pub. L. 114–190, sec. 

3405 

Abstract: As required by the FESSA, 

TSA will propose a rule to revise its 

regulations, reflecting current 

knowledge of insider threat and 

intelligence, to enhance the eligibility 

requirements and disqualifying criminal 

offenses for individuals seeking or 

having unescorted access to any SIDA of 

an airport. Consistent with the statutory 

mandate, TSA will consider adding to 

the list of disqualifying criminal 

offenses and criteria, develop a waiver 

process for approving the issuance of 

credentials for unescorted access, and 

propose an extension of the look back 

period for disqualifying crimes. As part 

of TSA’s reevaluation of the eligibility 

and redress standards for aviation 

workers required by the Act, TSA is also 

reevaluating the current vetting process 

to minimize any security risks that may 

exist.

132. Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism 

Standards (CFATS) [1670–AA01] 

Legal Authority: 6 U.S.C. 621 to 629 

Abstract: The Cybersecurity and 

Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) 

previously invited public comment on 

an Advance Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (ANPRM) during August 

2014 for potential revisions to the 

Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism 

Standards (CFATS) regulations. The 

ANPRM provided an opportunity for the 

public to provide recommendations for 

possible program changes. In June 2020, 

CISA published for public comment a 

retrospective analysis of the CFATS 

program. And in January 2021, CISA 

invited additional public comment 

through an ANPRM concerning the 

removal of certain explosive chemicals 

from CFATS. CISA intends to address 

many of the subjects raised in both 

ANPRMs and the retrospective analysis 

in this regulatory action, including 

potential updates to CFATS 

cybersecurity requirements and 

Appendix A to the CFATS regulations.
