reporting periods is defined as the
preceding cost reporting period’s target
amount increased by the hospital
inpatient prospective payment system
(IPPS) update factor for that particular
cost reporting period.
Covered inpatient hospital services
means inpatient hospital services
(defined in section 1861(b) of the Act)
and includes extended care services
furnished under an agreement under
section 1883 of the Act.
Section 410A of Public Law 108–173
requires that, ‘‘in conducting the
demonstration program under this
section, the Secretary shall ensure that
the aggregate payments made by the
Secretary do not exceed the amount
which the Secretary would have paid if
the demonstration program under this
section was not implemented.’’ In order
to achieve budget neutrality for this
demonstration program in fiscal years
(FYs) 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and
2010, we adjusted the national IPPS
rates by an amount sufficient to offset
the added costs of this demonstration
program. We presented an estimate of
the amount to offset additional costs
due to the demonstration program in FY
2011, including the costs of additional
rural community hospitals, in the FY
2011 inpatient prospective payment
system/long-term care hospital
prospective payment system (IPPS/
LTCH PPS) supplemental proposed rule
(see the June 2, 2010 Federal Register
(75 FR 30918)).

[Docket No. TSA–2003–14610]

Intent To Request Renewal From OMB
of One Current Public Collection of
Information: Security Threat
Assessment for Individuals Applying
for a Hazardous Materials
Endorsement for a Commercial Drivers
License
AGENCY: Transportation Security
Administration, DHS.
ACTION: 60 day Notice.
SUMMARY: The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) invites public
comment on one currently approved
Information Collection Request (ICR),
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number 1652–0027,
abstracted below that we will submit to
OMB for renewal in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).
The ICR describes the nature of the
information collection and its expected
burden. The collection involves
applicant submission of biometric and
biographic information for TSA’s
security threat assessment in order to
obtain the hazardous materials
endorsement (HME) on a commercial
drivers license (CDL) issued by the U.S.
States and the District of Columbia.
DATES: Send your comments by October
29, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be e-mailed
to [email protected] or delivered to the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

by telephone (571) 227–3651.
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 ICR documentation is
available at http://www.reginfo.gov.
Therefore, in preparation for OMB
review and approval of the following
information collection, TSA is inviting
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;
(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 1652–0027;
Security Threat Assessment for
Individuals Applying for a Hazardous
Materials Endorsement for a
Commercial Drivers License, 49 CFR
part 1572. TSA is requesting renewal of
the currently approved ICR with minor
changes. This collection supports the
implementation of section 1012 of the
USA PATRIOT Act (Pub. L. 107–56, 115
Stat. 272, 396, Oct. 26, 2001), which
mandates that no State or the District of
Columbia may issue a hazardous
materials endorsement (HME) on a
commercial driver’s license (CDL)
unless TSA has first determined the
driver is not a threat to transportation
security. On November 24, 2004, TSA
published the final rule in the Federal
Register (69 FR 68720), codified at 49
CFR part 1572, that describes the
procedures, standards, and eligibility
criteria for security threat assessments
on individuals seeking to obtain, renew,
or transfer a HME on a CDL. TSA
subsequently amended the rule on
January 25, 2007 (72 FR 3492). In order
to conduct the security threat
assessment, States (or TSA’s agent in

States that elect to have TSA perform
the collection of information) must
collect information in addition to that
already collected for the purpose of
HME applications, which will occur
once approximately every five years.
The driver is required to submit an
application that includes personal
biographic information (for instance,
height, weight, eye and hair color, date
of birth); information concerning legal
status, mental health defects history,
and criminal history; as well as
fingerprints. TSA is amending the
application to collect optional minor
additional information, such as U.S.
Department of State forms showing birth
abroad to U.S. citizens and U.S.
passport number. This information
helps the applicant prove U.S.
citizenship even though the applicant
was born abroad. Also, the application
will ask the applicant to state whether
he is a new applicant, or is applying to
renew or transfer the HME. This will
enable the program to better understand
and forecast driver retention, transfer
rate, and drop-rate to help improve
customer service, reduce program costs,
and provide comparability with other
Federal background checks, including
the Transportation Workers
Identification Credential (TWIC). TSA is
removing items concerning military
service. In addition, the rule (49 CFR
part 1572) requires States to maintain a
copy of the driver application for a
period of one year.
These changes should reduce the
burden on applicants, States, and TSA.
By receiving this information during the
application process, requests for
additional information or
documentation will be reduced during
the post-adjudication process.
From 2011 through 2013, TSA
estimates respondent drivers will spend
approximately 2.9 million hours on the
application and background check
process. TSA estimates an annualized
300,000 respondents will apply for an
HME, and that the application and
background check process will involve
975,000 annualized hours. TSA
estimates the total costs to respondent
drivers will be $80.3 million over the
three-year period ($27 million
annualized).
