Background and Legal Authority"},{"title":"Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Endangered Species Status for Ghost Orchid","type":"Proposed Rule","abstract":"We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list the ghost orchid (Dendrophylax lindenii), a flowering plant species found in the United States in southwestern Florida and in Cuba as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). This determination also serves as our 12-month finding on a petition to list the ghost orchid. After a review of the best scientific and commercial data available, we find that listing the species is warranted. Accordingly, we propose to list the ghost orchid as an endangered species under the Act. If we finalize this rule as proposed, it would add this species to the List of Endangered and Threatened Plants and extend the Act's protections to the species. We find that designating critical habitat for this species is not prudent.","document_number":"2025-10191","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/06/05/2025-10191/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-endangered-species-status-for-ghost-orchid","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-06-05/pdf/2025-10191.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-10191.pdf?1749041108","publication_date":"2025-06-05","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","name":"Interior Department","id":253,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/interior-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/253","parent_id":null,"slug":"interior-department"},{"raw_name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","id":197,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/fish-and-wildlife-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/197","parent_id":253,"slug":"fish-and-wildlife-service"}],"excerpts":"Collier-Seminole State Park \n Florida DEP \n 4-5. \n \n \n Hendry County \n Undisclosed \n 6-40. \n \n \n Naples Urban Site \n Undisclosed \n 31. \n \n \n Guanahacabibes National Park (<span class=\"match\">Cuba</span>) \n <span class=\"match\">Cuba</span> \n 230. \n \n \n Six Mile Slough \n Lee County Parks and Recreation \n Extirpated. \n \n \n Picayune Strand State Forest \n Florida Forest Service \n Likely extirpated. \n \n \n Ciénaga de Zapata National Park (<span class=\"match\">Cuba</span>) \n <span class=\"match\">Cuba</span> \n Likely extirpated. \n \n \n \n The ghost orchid is a leafless plant species that uses its roots to photosynthesize and attach itself to a host tree.

CFRP provides a lawful, safe, and orderly pathway for certain Cubans to seek parole into the United States, allowing them to reunite with family as they wait for their immigrant visas to become available so they may apply to adjust status to lawful permanent resident (LPR). The Secretary has authorized these updates to CFRP in light of technological advancements and process efficiencies created since the CFRP's inception in 2007. Every step of the updated process will be completed online with the exception of a medical exam by a panel physician and the parole determination made upon arrival at an interior U.S. port of entry (POE).","document_number":"2023-17376","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/08/11/2023-17376/implementation-of-changes-to-the-cuban-family-reunification-parole-process","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-08-11/pdf/2023-17376.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2023-17376.pdf?1691671531","publication_date":"2023-08-11","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY","name":"Homeland Security Department","id":227,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/homeland-security-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/227","parent_id":null,"slug":"homeland-security-department"}],"excerpts":"archived website on <span class=\"match\">Cuban</span> migration, \n https://1997-2001.state.gov/regions/wha/<span class=\"match\">cuba</span>/migration.html. \n Under the Accords, the United States committed itself to total legal migration to the United States from <span class=\"match\">Cuba</span> of a minimum of 20,000 <span class=\"match\">Cubans</span> each year, not including immediate relatives of U.S. citizens (USCs). \n See \n Joint Communiqué on Migration, U.S.-<span class=\"match\">Cuba</span> (Sept. 9, 1994) (known together with the Joint Statement With the Republic of <span class=\"match\">Cuba</span> on Normalization of Migration (May 2, 1995) as the U.S.-<span class=\"match\">Cuba</span> Migration Accords).\n \n \n \n \n 2 \n  <span class=\"match\">Cuban</span> Family Reunification"},{"title":"Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Reporting, Procedures and Penalties Regulations and Other Information Collections Maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control","type":"Notice","abstract":"The Department of the Treasury, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
