Section
408 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act
(the Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5174,
prescribes that FEMA must annually
adjust the maximum amounts for
assistance provided under the
Individuals and Households (IHP)
Program. FEMA gives notice that the
maximum amount of IHP financial
assistance provided to an individual or
household under section 408 of the
Stafford Act with respect to any single
emergency or major disaster is $30,300.
The increase in award amount as stated
above is for any single emergency or
major disaster declared on or after
October 1, 2008. In addition, in
accordance with 44 CFR 61.17(c), this
adjustment includes the maximum
amount of available coverage under any
Group Flood Insurance Policy (GFIP)
issued for those disasters.
FEMA bases the adjustment on an
increase in the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers of 5.4 percent
for the 12-month period ended in
August 2008. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of
Labor released the information on
September 16, 2008.

Intent To Request Renewal From OMB
of One Current Public Collection of
Information: Aircraft Operator Security
Transportation Security
Administration, DHS.
ACTION: 60 Day Notice.
AGENCY:

SUMMARY: The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) invites public
comment on an existing information
collection requirement abstracted below
that will be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
renewal in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act. The
collection requires aircraft operators to
adopt and implement a TSA-approved
security program. These programs
require aircraft operators to maintain
and update records to ensure
compliance with security provisions
outlined in 49 CFR part 1544.
DATES: Send your comments by
December 9, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed
or delivered to Joanna Johnson,
Communications Branch, Business
Management Office, Operational Process
and Technology, TSA–32,
Transportation Security Administration,
601 South 12th Street, Arlington, VA
22202–4220.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Joanna Johnson at the above address, or
by telephone (571) 227–3651 or
facsimile (571) 227–3588.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a valid OMB control
number. The Information Collection
Requirement (ICR) documentation is
available at http://www.reginfo.gov.
Therefore, in preparation for OMB
review and approval of the following
information collection, TSA is soliciting
comments to—
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
information requirement is necessary for

E:\FR\FM\10OCN1.SGM

10OCN1

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 198 / Friday, October 10, 2008 / Notices
the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including using
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Information Collection Requirement

TSA is seeking to renew its OMB
control number, 1652–0003, Aircraft
Operator Security. TSA has
implemented aircraft operator security
standards at 49 CFR part 1544 which
require each aircraft operator to which
this part applies to adopt and
implement a security program. As part
of these security programs, affected
aircraft operators are required to
maintain and update, as necessary,
records of compliance with the security
program provisions outlined in 49 CFR
part 1544. This regulation also requires
affected aircraft operators to make their
security programs and associated
records available for inspection by TSA
to ensure transportation security and
regulatory compliance. Under this
regulation, aircraft operators must
ensure that flight crew members and
employees with unescorted access
authority or who perform screening
functions (1) submit to a criminal
history records check (CHRC); (2)
conduct the CHRC; and (3) require the
individual to provide identifying
information, including fingerprints. The
collection requirements associated with
aircraft operator security programs
remain critical in the aftermath of the
terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
The current estimated annual reporting
burden for approximately 66 respondent
air carriers is 34,320 hours.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on October 7,
2008.

Revision of Effective Date for Direct
Mail Program for Submitting Form N–
400, Application for Naturalization;
Withdrawal of Notice
U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services, DHS.
ACTION: Withdrawal of Notice.
AGENCY:

SUMMARY: On September 12, 2008, U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS) published a notice in the
Federal Register revising the Direct
Mail Program for the filing of Form N–
400, Application for Naturalization. The
Notice announced that in certain
instances Form N–400 would be filed at
a USCIS lockbox facility rather than at
the USCIS Service Center. The Notice
was to take effect on October 14, 2008.
USCIS has decided to delay
implementation while technical issues
are resolved. Accordingly, the Notice
published on September 12, 2008, at 73
FR 53034 is withdrawn. Applicants
should continue to file their Form N–
400 according to the instructions on the
form.
DATES: The Notice published on
September 12, 2008, at 73 FR 53034 is
withdrawn as of October 10, 2008.

Background
On September 12, 2008, USCIS
published a Notice in the Federal
Register at 73 FR 53034 that announced
revisions to its Direct Mail Program so
that certain filings of Form N–400,
Application for Naturalization, would
be filed at a designated lockbox facility
instead of a USCIS Service Center.
USCIS is delaying the implementation
of this revision to the Direct Mail
Program while technical issues are
resolved. Until further notice,
applicants should submit their Form N–
400 according to the instructions on the
form. The current filing instructions can
also be viewed on the USCIS Web site
at http://www.uscis.gov.
When the technical issues are
resolved, USCIS will publish a new

Notice in the Federal Register to advise
the public on the revisions to the filing
instructions.
The Federal Register Notice also
announced that if you are the spouse of
an active member of the Armed Forces,
you should file your Form N–400 at the
Nebraska Service Center (NSC), whether
you are filing from within the U.S. or
abroad. Although the Notice is
withdrawn, active members of the
Armed Forces should continue to file
their Form N–400 at the NSC. This is
consistent with the current instructions
on the Form N–400.
You can find general eligibility
requirements for naturalization at our
Web site (http://www.uscis.gov). You
can also download ‘‘A Guide to
Naturalization (Form M–476),’’ which
provides information on the benefits
and responsibilities of citizenship, an
overview of the naturalization process,
and eligibility requirements.
