Prevention Lifeline Network, consisting
of a system of toll-free telephone
numbers that route calls from anywhere
in the United States to a network of
local crisis centers. In turn, the local
centers link callers to local emergency,
mental health, and social service
resources.
Through its grantee which is
administering the National Suicide
Prevention Lifeline Network, SAMHSA
developed a Call Log in an effort to
monitor basic trends in calls received.
Data from this instrument will inform

All 125 networked crisis centers will
be invited to complete the Call Logs,
which will be available in both Webbased and hardcopy formats. For the
estimated 80% of centers that already
collect compatible data, an IT worker
will be able to conduct monthly
downloads from their own software
systems. For the remaining centers,

complete the majority of Call Log items
during the course of the call, without
asking the caller specific questions.
They will use their judgment as to
whether to complete the remainder of
the Call Log at the conclusion of
individual calls. Completing the form
entails asking callers several basic
questions (e.g., age, race, ethnicity,
veteran status, how they heard about the
Lifeline service). No identifiable
information will be collected.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

SUMMARY:

The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) invites public
comment on one currently approved
Information Collection Request (ICR),
OMB control number 1652–0039,
abstracted below that we will submit to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for renewal in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act. The ICR
describes the nature of the information
collection and its expected burden. The
collection involves the submission of
information from claimants in order to
thoroughly examine and resolve tort
claims against the agency.
DATES: Send your comments by June 1,
2009.

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 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
the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;

centers or NCCs) and counselors would therefore
need to ask Callers questions from the Call Log. A
30% response rate is anticipated. 444,000 total
annual calls × (20% of the centers) = 88,800 annual
calls answered by NCCs × (30% response rate) =
26,640 Call Logs completed by NCCs.
4 Estimate based on crisis centers’ average staffing
level of 30 counselors, 50% (15) of whom are

volunteer. 25 non-automated centers × 15 volunteer
counselors = 375 volunteer counselors.
5 Estimate assumes that incoming calls will be
equally divided among volunteer and paid
counselors. 26,640 calls ÷ 750 total counselors = 36
calls per counselor.

(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
OMB Control Number 1652–0039;
TSA Claims Management Program
allows the agency to collect information
from claimants in order to thoroughly
examine and resolve tort claims against
the agency. TSA receives approximately
1,900 tort claims per month arising from
airport screening activities and other
circumstances, including motor vehicle
accidents and employee loss. The
Federal Tort Claims Act (28 U.S.C.
1346(b), 1402(b), 2401(b), 2671–2680) is
the authority under which the TSA
Claims Management Branch adjudicates
tort claims.
The data is collected whenever an
individual believes s/he has
experienced property loss or damage, a
personal injury, or other damages due to
the negligence or wrongful act or
omission of a TSA employee, and
decides to file a Federal tort claim
against TSA. Submission of a claim is
entirely voluntary and initiated by
individuals. The claimants (or
respondents) to this collection are
typically the traveling public. Currently,
claimants file a claim by submitting to
TSA a Standard Form 95 (SF–95), which
has been approved under OMB control
number 1105–0008. Because TSA
requires further clarifying information,
claimants are asked to complete a
Supplemental Information page added
to the SF–95. If TSA determines
payment is warranted, TSA will send
the claimant a form requesting banking
information (routing and accounting
numbers) in order to direct payment to
the claimant. This form has been
approved under OMB control number
1652–0039.
Claim instructions and forms are
available through the TSA Web site at
http://www.tsa.gov. Claimants must
download these forms and mail or fax
them to TSA. On the Supplemental
Information page, claimants are asked to
provide additional claim information
including: (1) E–Mail address, (2)
location of incident within the airport,
(3) airport, (4) complete travel itinerary,
(5) whether baggage was delayed by
airline, (6) why they believe TSA was
negligent, (7) whether they used a third-

party baggage service, (8) whether they
were traveling under military orders,
and (9) whether they submitted claims
with the airlines or insurance.
If TSA determines payment is
warranted, TSA sends the claimant a
form requesting: (1) Claimant signature,
(2) banking information, and (3) Social
Security number (required by the U.S.
Treasury for all Government payments
to the public pursuant to 31 U.S.C.
3325).
Under the current system of claims
submitted by mail or fax, TSA estimates
there will be approximately 22,800
respondents on an annual basis, for a
total annual hour burden of 11,400
hours.
TSA will use all data collected from
claimants to examine and analyze tort
claims against the agency to determine
alleged TSA liability and to reimburse
claimants when claims are approved. In
some cases, TSA may use the
information to identify victims of theft
or to aid any criminal investigations
into property theft.

Enhanced Bonding Requirement for
Certain Shrimp Importers
AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border
Protection, Department of Homeland
Security.
ACTION: General notice.
SUMMARY: This notice ends the
designation of shrimp subject to
antidumping or countervailing duty
orders as a special category or covered
case subject to an enhanced bonding
requirement (EBR). A recent World
Trade Organization (WTO) Appellate
Body Report held that the application of
this requirement to shrimp from
Thailand and India was inconsistent
with U.S. WTO obligations. In response
to this report, Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) is ending the
designation of shrimp subject to
antidumping or countervailing duty
orders as a special category or covered
case subject to the EBR. The shrimp
importers affected by this requirement
may request termination of any existing

continuous bonds pursuant to 19 CFR
113.27(a) and submit a new bond
application pursuant to 19 CFR
113.12(b).
DATES: Effective Date: The notice is
effective on April 1, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
A key U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) mission is to collect all
import duties determined to be due to
the United States. Under CBP statutes
and regulations, release of merchandise
prior to the determination of all duties
that may be owed is ordinarily
permitted, provided the importer posts
a bond or other security to insure
payment of duties and compliance with
other applicable laws and regulations.
The final assessment of duties occurs at
liquidation of the entry.
The United States maintains a
retrospective antidumping and
countervailing duty system. The
retrospective system means that in the
case of goods subject to antidumping or
countervailing (AD/CV) duties, the
actual rates of AD/CV duties owed are
calculated after the entry is made, in an
assessment review conducted by the
Department of Commerce (DOC). There
is a delay between entry and final duty
collection, and the United States
requires that a security be provided.
When an importer requests an
assessment review of an AD/CV duty
order, the amount of the duty that is
ultimately assessed, based on the final
AD/CV duty rate, sometimes does not
correspond to the amount of security
posted.
CBP follows instructions from the
DOC. The DOC determines the actual
AD/CV duty rates owed on merchandise
subject to an AD/CV duty order. CBP
assesses the duties owed on specific
entries upon liquidation, pursuant to
DOC instructions as to the final rates.
However, CBP has found that many
importers subject to AD/CV duties fail
to pay the additional duties determined
to be due at liquidation. As a result,
because defaults on AD/CV duty
supplemental bills have increased
significantly, CBP conducted an internal
policy review of revenue protection
strategies.
