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 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
OMB Control Number 1652–0036;
Corporate Security Review. Under the
Aviation and Transportation Security
Act (ATSA) 1 and delegated authority
from the Secretary of Homeland
Security, TSA has broad responsibility
and authority for ‘‘security in all modes
of transportation * * * including
security responsibilities * * * over
modes of transportation that are
exercised by the Department of
Transportation.’’ 2 TSA has additional
authorities as well. TSA is specifically
empowered to develop policies,
strategies, and plans for dealing with
threats to transportation,3 ensure the
adequacy of security measures for the
transportation of cargo,4 oversee the
1 Public Law 107–71, 115 Stat. 597 (November 19,
2001).
2 See 49 U.S.C. 114(d). The TSA Assistant
Secretary’s current authorities under ATSA have
been delegated to him by the Secretary of Homeland
Security. Section 403(2) of the Homeland Security
Act (HSA) of 2002, Public Law 107–296, 116 Stat.
2315 (2002), transferred all functions of TSA,
including those of the Secretary of Transportation
and the Under Secretary of Transportation of
Security related to TSA, to the Secretary of
Homeland Security. Pursuant to DHS Delegation
Number 7060.2, the Secretary delegated to the
Assistant Secretary (then referred to as the
Administrator of TSA), subject to the Secretary’s
guidance and control, the authority vested in the
Secretary with respect to TSA, including that in sec.
403(2) of the HSA.

implementation and ensure the
adequacy of security measures at
transportation facilities,5 and carry out
other appropriate duties relating to
transportation security.6
One way TSA carries out its surface
transportation responsibilities is by
assessing the current security practices
in the trucking, school bus, and motor
coach industries, as well as at State
Departments of Transportation (DOTs),
by way of its Corporate Security Review
(CSR) program. The CSR program
encompasses site visits and interviews,
and is one piece of a much larger
domain awareness, prevention, and
protection program in support of TSA’s
and the Department of Homeland
Security’s missions. TSA is seeking to
renew its OMB approval for this
information collection so that TSA can
continue to ascertain minimum security
standards and identify coverage gaps,
activities critical to carrying out its
transportation security mission.
The CSR is an ‘‘instructive’’ review
that provides TSA with an
understanding of certain surface
transportation owner/operators’ security
programs, if they have adopted such
programs. In carrying out CSRs,
Transportation Security Specialists
(TSS) from TSA’s Highway and Motor
Carrier Division (HMC) and
Transportation Security InspectorsSurface (TSI–S) conduct site visits of
trucking (excluding hazardous materials
shippers and carriers), school bus,
motor coach companies and State DOTs
throughout the nation. The TSA
representatives analyze the owner’s/
operator’s security plan, if the owner/
operator has adopted one, and
determines if the mitigation measures
included in the plan are being properly
implemented. In addition to examining
the security plan document, TSA
reviews one or more assets of the
owner/operator or State DOT.
During the site visits, TSA completes
a CSR form, which contains questions
concerning ten topics: Management and
oversight of the security plan, threat
assessment, criticality assessment,
vulnerability assessment, personnel
security, training, physical security
countermeasures, en route security,
information technology security, and
security exercises and drills. TSA
conducts this collection through
voluntary face-to-face visits at the
headquarters of the surface
transportation owners/operators.
Typically, TSA sends one employee to
conduct a two to three hour discussion/
interview with representatives from the

owner/operator. TSA plans to collect
information from businesses of all sizes
in the course of conducting these
surface mode CSRs.
TSA conducts these interviews to
ascertain information on security
measures and to identify security gaps.
The interviews also provide the TSA
with a method to encourage the surface
transportation owners/operators affected
by the CSRs to be diligent in effecting
and maintaining security-related
improvements. This program provides
TSA with real-time information on
current security practices within the
trucking, school bus, and motor coach
modes of the surface transportation
sector. This information allows TSA to
adapt programs to the changing threat
dynamically, while incorporating an
understanding of the improvements
owners/operators make in their security
posture. Without this information, the
ability of the TSA to perform its security
mission would be severely hindered.
Additionally, the relationships these
face-to-face contacts foster are critical to
the TSA’s ability to reach out to the
surface transportation stakeholders
affected by the CSRs. The relationships
foster a sense of trust and a willingness
to share information with the Federal
Government. TSA assures respondents
the portion of their responses deemed
Sensitive Security Information (SSI) will
be handled consistent with 49 CFR parts
15 and 1520.
The annual hour burden for this
information collection is estimated to be
1,500 hours. While TSA estimates a
total of 500 potential respondents, this
estimate is based on TSA conducting
500 visits per year, each visit lasting two
to three hours. TSA estimates no annual
cost burden to respondents.

Title of Proposal: Indian Community
Development Block Grant Information
Collection.
OMB Control Number: 2577–0191.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: Title I of
the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, which
authorizes Community Development
Block Grants, requires that grants for
Indian Tribes be awarded on a
competitive basis. The purpose of the
Indian Community Development Block
Grant (ICDBG) program is to develop
viable Indian and Alaska Native
communities by creating decent
housing, suitable living environments
and economic opportunities primarily
for low- and moderate-income persons.
Consistent with this objective, not less
than 70 percent of the expenditures are
to benefit low and moderate-income
persons. The law specifies four criteria
or options that are considered to meet
this objective. The four options or
criteria are: Area benefit; limited
clientele; housing; job creation/
retention. Eligible applicants include
Federally recognized Tribes, which
include Alaska Native communities,
and Bureau of Indian Affairs or Indian
Health Service determined Tribally
authorized Tribal organizations.
The ICDBG program regulations can
be found at 24 CFR 1003. The ICDBG
program for Indian Tribes and Alaska
Native villages requires eligible
applicants to submit information to
enable HUD to select the best projects
for funding during annual competitions.
Additionally, the requirements are
essential for HUD in monitoring grants
to ensure that grantees are making
proper use of Federal dollars.
ICDBG applicants must submit a
complete application package which
includes an Application for Federal
Assistance (SF–424), Supplement
Survey on Ensuring Equal Opportunity
for Applicants (SF–424 SUPP),
Applicant/Recipient Disclosure/Update
Report (HUD–2880), Implementation
Schedule (HUD–4125), Cost Summary
(HUD–4123) and a Program Outcome
Logic Model (HUD–96010). If the
applicant has a waiver of the electronic
submission requirement and is
submitting a paper application, an
Acknowledgement of Application
Receipt (HUD–2993) must also be
submitted. If the applicant is a Tribal
organization, a resolution from the Tribe
stating that the Tribal organization is
submitting an application on behalf of
the Tribe must also be included in the
application package.
Section 105 of the 1974 Housing and
Community Development Act (42 U.S.C.
5305) was amended by section 588 of
