In that RFI, FEMA asked for
public input on the ways the agency can
improve the CRS program: (1) To better
align the CRS program with the
improved understanding of flood risk
and flood risk approaches that have
developed since the program’s
inception; (2) to better incentivize
communities and policyholders to
become more resilient and to not only
manage, but lower their vulnerability to
flood risk, and (3) to support the sound
financial framework of the NFIP.
FEMA is extending the comment
period to ensure all interested parties
have sufficient opportunity to provide
comments on the CRS program. For the
details on this request, please see the
RFI published at 86 FR 47128. FEMA
will carefully consider all relevant
comments received during the entire

The purpose of the request for
information is to seek input on the
NFIP’s CRS program. Individuals cannot
apply for FEMA assistance by
submitting a comment to this request for
information. If you are an individual
who has been impacted by a disaster
and you are seeking assistance from

SUMMARY
: U.S. Citizenship and

component of the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS), is making a
correction to the notice titled

Beneficiaries of Temporary Protected
Status Designations for El Salvador,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: On
September 10, 2021, DHS published a
notice in the Federal Register at 86 FR
50725. USCIS is making a correction to
that published notice. The correction is
as follows:
USCIS is correcting the second
sentence in the third paragraph in the
Additional Notes section of the
published notice. USCIS is correcting
the sentence to state that the
determination to terminate the 2011
designation of TPS for Haiti will not be
implemented or enforced unless and
until the district court’s orders in Saget
and Ramos are reversed and the reversal
becomes final, rather than that the
termination will not be implemented
and enforced unless and until the
district court’s order in only Saget is
reversed and the reversal becomes final.
USCIS is making this correction because
the termination is enjoined in Ramos as
well as in Saget.
Correction
In FR 2021–19617, on page 50729 in
the Federal Register of September 10,
2021, in the second column, USCIS is
correcting the sentence as follows:
The previously announced
determination to terminate the 2011
designation of TPS for Haiti will not be
implemented or enforced unless and
until the district courts’ orders in Saget
and Ramos are reversed and the reversal
becomes final.

BILLING CODE 9111–97–P
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Modification of Consent Decree Under
the Clean Water Act and Oil Pollution
Act
On September 15, 2021, the
Department of Justice lodged with the
United States District Court for the
Western District of Michigan a proposed
Sixth Modification of Consent Decree
(‘‘Sixth Modification’’) in the lawsuit
entitled United States v. Enbridge
Energy, Limited Partnership, et al., Civil
Action No. 1:16–cv–914.
On May 23, 2017, the United States
District Court for the Western District of
Michigan approved and entered a
Consent Decree that resolved specified
claims asserted by the United States
against Enbridge Energy, Limited
Partnership and eight affiliated entities
(‘‘Enbridge’’) under the Clean Water Act
and Oil Pollution Act arising from two
separate 2010 oil spills resulting from
failures of Enbridge oil transmission
pipelines near Marshall, Michigan and
Romeoville, Illinois. The complaint
filed by the United States alleged that
Enbridge’s pipelines had unlawfully
discharged oil into waters of the United
States and sought civil penalties,
recovery of removal costs, and
injunctive relief. The Consent Decree
established various requirements
applicable to a network of 14 pipelines
that comprise Enbridge’s Lakehead
System—including dig selection criteria
governing excavation, repair or
mitigation, and imposition of interim
pressure restrictions for various
features, such as dents, corrosion and
cracks, that are detected through In-Line
Inspections (‘‘ILI’’) of such pipelines.
Because certain of these dig selection
criteria are based in part on the
Established Maximum Operating
Pressure (‘‘EMOP’’) applicable to the
pipeline location where the particular
feature is located, the Consent Decree
incorporated by reference EMOP values
established for each of the pipelines
subject to the Consent Decree.
The proposed Sixth Modification
would revise certain EMOP values to
reflect new information developed
during an MOP Verification Project
undertaken between 2015 and December
of 2020. In addition to revising EMOP
values for purposes of implementing dig
selection criteria, the proposed Sixth
Modification establishes new provisions
directly restricting operating pressures
on pipelines subject to the Consent
Decree, including: (1) An explicit
prohibition on exceeding EMOP values
except in limited circumstances
involving surges or other variations
from normal pipeline operations, and
(2) new reporting requirements and
stipulated penalty provisions relating to
pipeline operating pressure provisions.
Finally, in certain cases where the MOP
Verification Project developed new
information regarding pipe wall
thickness at particular pipeline
locations, the proposed Sixth
Modification would require Enbridge to
re-evaluate features and identify any
additional features that meet Consent
Decree dig selection criteria when
revised pipe wall thickness information
is taken into consideration.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
proposed Sixth Modification of Consent
Decree. Comments should be addressed
to the Assistant Attorney General,
Environment and Natural Resources
Division, and should refer to United
States v. Enbridge Energy, Limited
Partnership, et al., D.J. Ref. No. 90–5–1–
1–10099. All comments must be
submitted no later than thirty (30) days
after the publication date of this notice.

the proposed Sixth Modification of
Consent Decree may be examined and

Decree upon written request and
