PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii, June 2 -- Navy Region Hawaii issued the following news on June 1, 2026:

USS Arizona Boat Detachment Sailors Earn Navy Ceremonial Duty Ribbon
By James Neuman
The commanders of Navy Region Hawaii (NRH) and Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH) presented the Navy Ceremonial Duty Ribbon to three Sailors from the USS Arizona Memorial Detachment during a ceremony at JBPHH's Merry Point Landing on May 26, 2026.
The Sailors - Damage Controlman Third Class Paul Esposito; Aviation Machinist's Mate Third Class Ryan Axtell; and Aviation Electronics Technician Second ClassAidan Morlock - earned the ribbons after successfully completing a year of continuous and honorable service providing safe water transportation for military personnel, dignitaries, and the general public to and from theUSS Arizona Memorial. The three are also certified as coxswains on the detachment's shuttlecrafts, also known as "white boats."
Since 1962, when the USS Arizona Memorial opened to the public, the detachment's Sailors have transported an average of 1 million visitors each year between the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and the iconic memorial, conducting 30 daily runs nearly 365 days a year.
Last year alone, the detachment transported 1,168,000 visitors to the Memorial built over the sunken remains of the Pennsylvania-class battleship, which serves as the final resting place for more than 900 of the 1,177 Sailors and Marines who died during the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.
In recognition of this solemn responsibility, the Navy in 2024 expanded eligibility for the Navy Ceremonial Duty Ribbon to include the detachment's Sailors, who join an elite group previously limited to Sailors assigned to either the U.S Navy Ceremonial Guard or the USS Constitution.
"The Navy Ceremonial Duty Ribbon is a long overdue acknowledgement of the vital work these Sailors do in bringing thousands of visitors to the USS Arizona Memorial every day," said Rear Adm. Brad Collins, Navy Region Hawaii commander. "Not only do they safely transport these visitors, but they also serve as representatives of the modern Navy, linking service today with the legacy of the past."
The 16 Sailors assigned to the detachment see themselves as "keepers" of the legacy of the USS Arizona and understand the responsibility they have in transporting visitors to one of the most emblematic memorials in the nation. And for many American and international visitors, the detachment Sailors may be the only U.S. service members they ever interact with. That fact is not lost on Esposito.
"We know every day we come to work we are entrusted with the responsibility of representing the United States Navy and what it stands for," he said. "It's a legacy we are portraying to the public and passing down to the younger generations."
Axtell said it has been an honor to serve in the detachment. "Bringing visitors to the memorial so we can keep the memory of the crew of the USS Arizona alive. It's so important," he said. For Morlock, serving in the detachment is more than a job. "Being able to share the history of the Sailors and Marines on board the USS Arizona is something I will take with me throughout the rest of my naval career."

U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General Flags Millions in UI Funds at Risk, Presses Financial Institution to Act
Inspector General Anthony P. D'Esposito issued an Alert Memorandum to the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) Employment and Training Administration (ETA), urging a financial institution to freeze funds held on prepaid debit cards linked to fraudulent COVID-19 Unemployment Insurance (UI) claims. The alert calls for immediate action to preserve these taxpayerdollars and prevent additional loss through escheatment.
"My office will not allow these stolen Unemployment Insurance benefits to slip away. We are aggressively tracing every dollar, pressing financial institutions to act, and using every tool available to safeguard taxpayer funds. We will not rest until these losses are halted and every dollar is put back into the pockets of the American people," said Anthony P. D'Esposito, Inspector General, U.S. Department of Labor.
Previously, through an Alert Memorandum transmitted to ETA in February 2026, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) assessed that more than $700 million in total UI funds were being held by Financial Institution 1 (FI 1) on prepaid debit cards, and over $200 million had already been escheated as of September 2025.
Due to ongoing concerns, the OIG conducted further analysis of FI 1's updated UI escheatment status. The OIG found a 41% increase in escheated UI funds by FI 1 between September 2025 and February 2026, totaling more than $376 million. Without immediate action, an estimated additional $500 million in UI funds could be escheated by September 2026.

* * *
This notice provides guidance on the corporate bond monthly yield curve, the corresponding spot segment rates used under Sec. 417(e)(3), and the 24-month average segment rates under Sec. 430(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, this notice provides guidance as to the interest rate on 30-year Treasury securities under Sec. 417(e)(3)(A)(ii)(II) as in effect for plan years beginningbefore 2008 and the 30-year Treasury weighted average rate under Sec. 431(c)(6)(E)(ii)(I).
YIELD CURVE AND SEGMENT RATES
Section 430 specifies the minimum funding requirements that apply to single-employer plans (except for CSEC plans under Sec. 414(y)) pursuant to Sec. 412. Section 430(h)(2) specifies the interest rates that must be used to determine a plan's target normal cost and funding target. Under this provision, present value is generally determined using three 24-month average interest rates ("segment rates"), each of which applies to cash flows during specified periods. To the extent provided under Sec. 430(h)(2)(C)(iv), these segment rates are adjusted by the applicable percentage of the 25-year average segment rates for the period ending September 30 of the year preceding the calendar year in which the plan year begins./1 However, an election may be made under Sec. 430(h)(2)(D)(ii) to use the monthly yield curve in place of the segment rates.
Section 1.430(h)(2)-1(d) provides rules for determining the monthly corporate bond yield curve, and Sec. 1.430(h)(2)-1(c) provides rules for determining the 24-month average corporate bond segment rates used to compute the target normal cost and the funding target. Consistent with the methodology specified in Sec. 1.430(h)(2)-1(d), the monthly corporate bond yield curve derived from April 2026 data is in Table 2026-4 at the end of this notice. The spot first, second, and third segment rates for the month of April 2026 are, respectively, 4.27, 5.34, and 6.22.
The 24-month average segment rates determined under Sec. 430(h)(2)(C)(i) through (iii) must be adjusted pursuant to Sec. 430(h)(2)(C)(iv) to be within the applicable minimum and maximum percentages of the corresponding 25-year average segment rates. Those percentages are 95% and 105% for plan years beginning in 2025 and 2026. For this purpose, any 25-year average segment rate that is less than 5% is deemed to be 5%. The 25-year average segment rates for plan years beginning in 2025 and 2026 were published in Notice 2024-67, 2024-41 I.R.B. 726 and Notice 2025-47, 2025-40 I.R.B. 441, respectively.
24-MONTH AVERAGE CORPORATE BOND SEGMENT RATES
The three 24-month average corporate bond segment rates applicable for May 2026 without adjustment for the 25-year average segment rate limits are as follows:

30-YEAR TREASURY SECURITIES INTEREST RATES
Section 431 specifies the minimum funding requirements that apply to multiemployer plans pursuant to Sec. 412. Section 431(c)(6)(B) specifies a minimum amount for the full-funding limitation described in Sec. 431(c)(6)(A), based on the plan's current liability. Section 431(c)(6)(E)(ii)(I) provides that the interest rate used to calculate current liability for this purpose must be no more than 5 percent above and no more than 10 percent below the weighted average of the rates of interest on 30-year Treasury securities during the four-year period ending on the last day before the beginning of the plan year. Notice 88-73, 1988-2 C.B. 383, provides guidelines for determining the weighted average interest rate. The rate of interest on 30-year Treasury securities for April 2026 is 4.91 percent. The Service determined this rate as the average of the daily determinations of yield on the 30-year Treasury bond maturing in February 2056. For plan years beginning in May 2026, the weighted average of the rates of interest on 30-year Treasury securities and the permissible range of rates used to calculate current liability are as follows:
* * *
Table: Treasury Weighted Average Rates
* * *
MINIMUM PRESENT VALUE SEGMENT RATES
In general, the applicable interest rates under Sec. 417(e)(3)(D) are segment rates computed without regard to a 24-month average. Section 1.417(e)-1(d)(3) provides guidelines for determining the minimum present value segment rates. Pursuant to that section, the minimum present value segment rates determined for April 2026 are as follows:

Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW) Digital Transformation
San Diego -- Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW) Commanding Officer, CAPT Shannon Thompson recently recognized six exceptional employees with Command Challenge Coins for their instrumental contributions to one of the most significant digital modernization efforts within the FRC enterprise.
Tyler Clausen, Kevin Fishel, Jeff Day, Greg Burgin, Corey Cook, and Misael Diaz-Bucio played pivotal roles in the successfultransition of the first MH-60 Sierra Phase Maintenance Inspection (PMI-1) from a legacy paper-based process to a fully digital Electronic Work Order (EWO) system. This achievement marks a major advancement in aircraft maintenance operations, enhancing efficiency, accountability, and real-time operational awareness across the production environment.
The Quality Assurance (QA) and Integrated Engineering Teams (IET) dedicated more than 800 man-hours to designing, engineering, and building the behind the scenes electronic needs to support the transition. At the same time, the NDMS team spearheaded the implementation and change-management effort, training the entire production line and ensuring a seamless adoption of the new system.
The impact of their work was immediate and far-reaching. By moving to direct-to-system documentation process, the team eliminated the need for physical rubber stamps, streamlined labor clocking procedures, implemented secure digital signoffs, and significantly reduced printing requirements.
Building on the success of the inaugural helicopter, ten additional aircraft are currently progressing through maintenance using the streamlined process. The innovation, technical expertise, and commitment demonstrated by these employees continue to shape the future of naval aviation maintenance and exemplify the ingenuity and teamwork that drive Fleet Readiness Center Southwest's mission success.
FRCSW employees are the Backbone of Military Readiness!
