Ratification of Department Action
AGENCY: Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
ACTION: Ratification.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security is publishing notice of
the Secretary of Homeland Security's ratification of a rule.
DATES: The ratification was signed on December 15, 2025 and relates
back to the original date of the action that it ratifies.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Office of the General Counsel, DHS,
Washington, DC 20528, (202) 282-9822.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 15, 2025, the Secretary of
Homeland Security ratified the approval and issuance of the final rule
titled ``Security Bars and Processing,'' as well as the associated
notice of proposed rulemaking. See 85 FR 41201 (July 9, 2020); 85 FR

otherwise.
