Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 79 / Tuesday, April 24, 2012 / Notices

Program (HMGP), authorized by
sections 203 and 404 of the Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.,
provide funding for eligible, feasible,
and cost-effective activities that have
the purpose of reducing or eliminating
risks to life and property from hazards
and their effects. One such activity is
the implementation of wind retrofit
projects to protect existing one- and
two-family residential buildings (not
including manufactured housing) from
hurricane-force wind-related damages.
FEMA has prepared a proposed
Mitigation Policy to address PDM and
HMGP programmatic guidelines for this
project type. The policy will help
ensure national consistency in the use
of funds for this hazard mitigation
activity. The proposed policy identifies
key project requirements specific to this
hazard mitigation activity including:
Eligible activities and Mitigation
Packages, building evaluation criteria,
project application requirements, and
eligible and ineligible costs. The
proposed policy also provides the
public, building professionals and
decision-makers with direction on the
implementation steps required for a
complete wind retrofit project
subapplication.
Thousands of existing homes in the
hurricane-prone region are vulnerable to
the effects of coastal high-wind events
and are not designed to the same level
of wind resistance required by today’s
codes and standards. FEMA concluded
that additional technical guidance is
needed to facilitate the development of
hazard mitigation retrofit projects for
such residential buildings. As a result,
the proposed policy relies on
publication FEMA P–804, Wind Retrofit
Guide for Residential Buildings, as a
guideline for these wind retrofit
projects. FEMA P–804 provides the
technical guidance needed to promote
and properly perform wind retrofit
projects for existing one- and two-family
residential buildings. The publication
offers a unified technical and
programmatic solution to residential
wind retrofit projects using three
Mitigation Packages (Basic,
Intermediate, and Advanced). Each
successive package contains retrofit
standards that increase the level of
protection for wind-related damages to
the building.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 5133; 5170(c).

Administrator, Federal Emergency
Management Agency.

AGENCY:

This notice announces that
the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) has forwarded the
Information Collection Request (ICR),
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number 1652–0040,
abstracted below to OMB for review and
approval of an extension of the
currently approved collection under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The
ICR describes the nature of the
information collection and its expected

following collection of information on
February 24, 2012, 77 FR 11145. TSA
has not received any comments. The

affecting airports, passenger aircraft
operators, foreign air carriers, indirect
air carriers and all-cargo carriers
operating under a TSA-approved
security program. These five categories
are: Security programs, security threat
assessments (STAs), known shipper
data via the Known Shipper
Management System (KSMS), cargo
screening reporting, and evidence of
compliance recordkeeping.
DATES: Send your comments by May 24,
2012. A comment to OMB is most
effective if OMB receives it within 30
days of publication.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, OMB. Comments should be
addressed to Desk Officer, Department
of Homeland Security/TSA, and sent via
electronic mail to

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
Title: Air Cargo Security
Requirements.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0040.
Forms(s): Aviation Security Known
Shipper Verification Form, Aircraft
Operator or Air Carrier Reporting
Template, Security Threat Assessment
Application, Aviation Security Known
Shipper Verification Form.
Affected Public: The collection of
information that make up this ICR
involve regulated entities including
airports, passenger aircraft operators,
foreign air carriers, indirect air carriers
and all-cargo carriers operating under a
TSA-approved security program.
Abstract: TSA is seeking renewal of
an expiring collection of information.
Congress set forth in the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act (ATSA),
Pub. L. 107–71, two specific
requirements for TSA in the area of air
cargo security: (1) To provide for
screening of all property, including U.S.
mail, cargo, carry-on and checked
baggage, and other articles, that will be
carried aboard a passenger aircraft; and
(2) to establish a system to screen,
inspect, report, or otherwise ensure the
security of all cargo that is to be
transported in all-cargo aircraft as soon
as practicable. In the Implementing
Recommendations of the 9/11
Commission Act of 2007, Public Law

E:\FR\FM\24APN1.SGM

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 79 / Tuesday, April 24, 2012 / Notices
110–53, Congress requires that 50
percent of cargo transported on
passenger aircraft is screened not later
than February 2009, and 100 percent of
such cargo is screened not later than
August 2010.
TSA must proceed with this ICR for
this program in order to continue to
meet the Congressional mandates and
current regulations (49 CFR 1542.209,
1544.205, 1546.205, and part 1548) that
enable them to accept, screen, and
transport air cargo. The uninterrupted
collection of this information will allow
TSA to continue to ensure
implementation of these vital security
measures for the protection of the
traveling public.
This information collection requires
the ‘‘regulated entities,’’ who may
include passenger and all-cargo aircraft
operators, foreign air carriers, and
indirect air carriers (IACs), to
implement a standard security program
or to submit modifications to TSA for
approval, and update such programs as
necessary. The regulated entities must
also collect personal information and
submit such information to TSA so that
TSA may conduct security threat
assessments (STAs) for individuals with
unescorted access to cargo, and any
individual who has responsibility for
screening cargo under 49 CFR parts
1544, 1546, or 1548. Aircraft operators
and foreign air carriers must report the
volume of accepted and screened cargo
transported on passenger aircraft.
Further, TSA will collect identifying
information for both companies and
individuals whom aircraft operators,
foreign air carriers, and IACs have
qualified to ship cargo on passenger
aircraft. This information is primarily
collected electronically via the Known
Shipper Management System (KSMS).
Whenever the information cannot be
entered into KSMS, the regulated entity
must conduct a physical visit of the
shipper using the Aviation Security
Known Shipper Verification Form and
subsequently enter that information into
KSMS. These regulated entities must
also maintain records pertaining to
security programs, training, and
compliance. The forms used in this
collection of information include the
Aviation Security Known Shipper
Verification Form, Cargo Reporting
Template, and the Security Threat
Assessment Application.
Number of Respondents: 4,890.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 73,567 hours.
