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;
(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
Title: Transportation Worker
Identification Credential (TWIC)
Program.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0047.
Forms(s): TWIC Disclosure and
Certification form (OMB 1652–0047) .
Affected Public: Individuals requiring
unescorted access to facilities and
vessels regulated by the Maritime
Transportation Security Act (MTSA)
and all mariners holding Coast Guardissued credentials or qualification
documents.
Abstract: The data collected will be
used for processing TWIC enrollment
and conducting the security threat
assessment. At the enrollment center,
applicants verify their biographic
information and provide identity
documentation, biometric information,
and proof of immigration status (if
required). This information allows TSA
to complete a comprehensive security
threat assessment. If TSA determines
that the applicant is qualified to receive
a TWIC, TSA notifies the applicant that
their TWIC is ready for activation. Once
activated, this credential will be used
for identification verification and access
control. TSA also conducts a survey to
capture worker overall satisfaction with
the enrollment process; this optional
survey is provided during the activation
period.

TSA acknowledges that an error in the
60-day notice was identified by a
commenter which related to the length
of the previous collection process.
Additionally, the commenter questioned
total burden hours estimated for 2011
and its associated cost, because it varied
significantly from the previous filing in
2008. TSA will directly respond to the
individual submitting this feedback.
Number of Respondents: The
annualized number of total respondents
is 401,330.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: TSA
provided incorrect hours in the 60-day
filing and has corrected its estimates.
The correct estimated annualized
reporting burden is 919,110 hours, and
the estimated annualized cost burden is
$53,866,023.

SUMMARY: We, the Fish and Wildlife
Service, as lead agency advise the
public that we intend to prepare an
environmental impact statement (EIS)
on a proposed application, including a
Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), for an
Incidental Take Permit (ITP) under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended. The potential ITP would
include federally listed and candidate
species within portions of nine states
(North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana,
Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas).
The activities covered by a potential
ITP would include regional-level
construction, operation, and
maintenance associated with multiple
commercial wind energy facilities. The
planning partners are currently
considering, for inclusion in the HCP,
certain species listed as federally
