The Coast Guard is establishing a moving safety zone and a fixed safety zone around the M/V SAMPOGRACHT in the navigable waters of the Houston Ship Channel and its vicinity. The safety zones are needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards associated with the transfer of rubber tire gantry cranes. Entry of vessels or persons into these zones is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Houston- Galveston or a designated representative.
The Coast Guard will enforce a special local regulation on the waters of Mission Bay, CA, during the Mission Bay Parade of Lights on December 13, 2025. This special local regulation is necessary to provide for the safety of the participants, crew, sponsor vessels of the event, and general users of the waterway. During the enforcement period, persons and vessels are prohibited from entering, transiting through, or anchoring within this regulated area unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector San Diego or their designated representative.
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for navigable waters within a 0.5 nautical mile radius of the container vessel M/V ONE HENRY HUDSON, in or around the Port of Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA.

The Coast Guard is proposing a temporary rule to provide for safety zones for certain waters near Norfolk Harbor Entrance Reach, near the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel expansion project. This action is necessary to provide for the safety of life on navigable waters which are subject to existing safety zones that will expire later this month.

We invite your comments.
The Coast Guard is withdrawing the proposed rule entitled "Assessment Framework and Organizational Restatement Regarding Preemption for Certain Regulations Issued by the Coast Guard," published in the Federal Register on December 27, 2013. The Coast Guard is withdrawing the proposed rule because our practice of discussing the preemptive effect of the Coast Guard's legal authorities and regulations in the preamble of our rulemaking documents is sufficient to identify any preemptive effects.
The Coast Guard will enforce the special local regulation for the Charleston Parade of Boats on December 13, 2025, to provide for the safety and security of certain navigable waterways of Charleston Harbor during this event. Our regulation for marine events within the Captain of the Port Charleston Zone identifies the regulated area for this event in Charleston Harbor, SC.

The Coast Guard proposes to modify the operating regulation that governs the Point No Point Railroad Bridge across the Passaic River, mile 2.6, between the City of Newark and Town of Kearny, NJ. The proposed change in the regulation will allow the bridge to be remotely operated from the Conrail North Jersey Dispatch Center in Mount Laurel, NJ.

We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
The Coast Guard is revising existing regulations for recurring safety zones in the Captain of the Port Duluth Zone. These amendments update the table of annually recurring marine events, add definitions, and clarify how and when the COTP may enforce listed zones. These changes will improve the timeliness and clarity of public notification, enhance mariner situational awareness, and promote the safety of life on the navigable waters of western Lake Superior during recurring near- shore events.
The Coast Guard is modifying the operating schedule that governs the Hall Whitaker Bridge across the Bass River at mile 0.6 in Beverly, Massachusetts. The Hall Whitaker Bridge will remain the closed position while a temporary bridge is constructed and the Hall Whitaker Bridge is demolished and rebuilt. The temporary bridge will also be a fixed bridge and will not be able to open.
This final rule makes non-substantive, technical, organizational, and conforming amendments to existing Coast Guard regulations. This represents a continuation of our practice of periodically issuing rules to keep our regulations up-to-date and accurate. This final rule is deregulatory in nature due to the discontinuation of the Information Collection Request (ICR), Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number 1625-0068. In all other respects, this final rule will have no substantive impact on the regulated public.
The Coast Guard is establishing a permanent security zone in the vicinity of Seaport Manatee facilities and ship berths. This action is necessary to enhance safety and protect vessels, facilities and infrastructure from potential threats. This regulation will allow for controlled access of authorized vessels and facility personnel within the security zone.
The Coast Guard is extending the effective period of the current temporary safety zone to December 31, 2025. This action is necessary to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by the proximity of the low flying aircrafts to vessels in the vicinity of the waters off the Cyril E. King Airport in St. Thomas, USVI. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector San Juan.
To address ongoing aviation security threats, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is amending its regulations pertaining to the Air Cargo Advance Screening (ACAS) program to require the transmission of additional data elements. The ACAS program enhances the security of flights carrying cargo into the United States by requiring the transmission of certain air cargo data and performing targeted risk assessments based on the transmitted data prior to an aircraft's departure for the United States. These risk assessments identify and prevent high-risk air cargo from being loaded onto an aircraft that could pose a risk to an aircraft during flight.
DHS proposes to rescind the 2022 public charge ground of inadmissibility regulations. The 2022 regulations are not the best implementation of the statute, inconsistent with congressional intent, unduly restrictive, and hamper DHS's ability to make accurate, precise, and reliable determinations of whether certain aliens are likely at any time to become a public charge. Rescission would restore broader discretion to evaluate all pertinent facts and align with long-standing policy that aliens in the United States should be self-reliant and government benefits should not incentivize immigration. DHS also proposes to address the breach and cancellation of public charge bonds.
The Department of Homeland Security is publishing notice of the Secretary of Homeland Security's ratification of a rule.
The Coast Guard proposes to modify the operating regulation that governs the Lehigh Valley Drawbridge across Newark Bay, mile 4.6, between the City of Newark and City of Bayonne, NJ. This proposed change in the regulation will not alter the operating schedule of the bridge but will allow the bridge to be remotely operated from the Conrail North Jersey Dispatch Center in Mount Laurel, NJ. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
The Coast Guard will enforce a safety zone for a fireworks display at "The Wharf DC," in Washington, DC, to provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways during this event. Our regulation for recurring safety zones for fireworks displays within the USCG East District identifies the precise location. During the enforcement period, vessels may not enter, remain in, or transit through the safety zone unless authorized to do so by the COTP or his representative, and vessels in the vicinity must comply with directions from the Patrol Commander or any Official Patrol displaying a Coast Guard ensign.
The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the operating schedule that governs the Lehigh Valley Drawbridge. This deviation will test a change to the drawbridge operation schedule to determine whether a permanent change to the schedule is needed. We invite your comments on this action.
This rule adopts as final, without change, interim amendments to title 8 and title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations published in the Federal Register on December 28, 2021, that require commercial vessel operators to electronically submit the data elements of Form I- 418 to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in lieu of submitting a paper form. This electronic submission streamlines vessel arrival and departure processes by eliminating redundant data submissions, simplifying vessel inspections, and automating recordkeeping.
This document amends CBP regulations by revising the list of user fee airports. This technical amendment reflects the designation of user fee status for five additional airports: City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport in Colorado Springs, Colorado; Santa Maria Public Airport District in Santa Maria, California; Tallahassee International Airport in Tallahassee, Florida; Vero Beach Regional Airport in Vero Beach, Florida; and Hillsboro Airport in Hillsboro, Oregon. This document also amends CBP regulations by removing Ontario International Airport in Ontario, California from the list of user fee airports.
On June 9, 2025, DHS published a final rule promulgating regulations for the protection of Federal property. That rule set January 1, 2026, as the effective date for those regulations. This final rule changes the effective date for those regulations to November 5, 2025. This final rule makes no other changes.
This final rule updates the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) administrative procedures for assessing penalties and recovering funds procured by fraud under departmental programs. This rule implements the Administrative False Claims Act of 1986, as amended by the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025. This final rule implements the NDAA to reflect the updated penalty levels, new definitions, and the option for the Board of Contract Appeals judges to act as presiding officers. This final rule also makes minor clarifications and DHS procedural changes.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to amend its regulations governing biometrics use and collection. DHS proposes to require submission of biometrics by any individual, regardless of age, filing or associated with an immigration benefit request, other request, or collection of information, unless exempted; expand biometrics collection authority upon alien arrest; define "biometrics;" codify reuse requirements; codify and expand DNA testing, use and storage; establish an "extraordinary circumstances" standard to excuse a failure to appear at a biometric services appointment; modify how VAWA self-petitioners and T nonimmigrant status applicants demonstrate good moral character; and clarify biometrics collection purposes.
This IFR amends DHS regulations to end the practice of automatically extending the validity of employment authorization documents (Forms I-766 or EADs) for aliens who have timely filed an application to renew their EAD in certain employment authorization categories. The purpose of this change is to prioritize the proper vetting and screening of aliens before granting a new period of employment authorization and/or a new EAD. This IFR does not impact the validity of EADs that were automatically extended prior to October 30, 2025 or which are otherwise automatically extended by law or Federal Register notice.
This final rule amends Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations to provide that DHS may require all aliens to be photographed when entering or exiting the United States, and may require non-exempt aliens to provide other biometrics. The final rule also amends the regulations to remove the references to pilot programs and the port limitation to permit collection of biometrics from aliens departing from airports, land ports, seaports, or any other authorized point of departure. In addition, DHS is requesting comments on the specific collection process as well as costs and benefits for new transportation modalities.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposes to adjust Employment-Based Immigration, Fifth Preference (EB-5) immigration benefit request fees charged by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This rule also proposes to codify certain elements of the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 and implement new statutory requirements. DHS intends for the rule to provide USCIS with the resources necessary to accomplish the goals of the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 and enhance and maintain the integrity of the EB- 5 program.
The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for all navigable waters of the Maumee River within a 150-yard radius of the Toledo Country Club in Toledo, OH.
