Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 159 / Monday, August 18, 2014 / Notices
Changes to the underlying statute
required amendments to 49 CFR part
1510, which were addressed through an
Interim Final Rule (IFR) published in
the Federal Register on June 20, 2014
(2014 IFR). See 79 FR 35462. The
adjusted September 11th Security Fee
now requires fees to be based on oneway trips rather than enplanements.
The September 11th Security Fee is
used to help defray the costs of
providing Federal services, including
civil aviation security services. This
information collection requires air
carriers to submit to TSA the amount of
September 11th Security Fees an air
carrier has imposed, collected,
refunded, and remitted. Air carriers are
required to retain this information for a
three-year rolling period. For instance,
air carriers must keep the information
collected during fiscal year 2011 until
the expiration of fiscal year 2014.
TSA rules require air carriers to
impose and collect the September 11th
Security Fee and remit the amounts
collected to TSA. See 49 CFR 1510.13.
The regulation also requires air carriers
to submit quarterly reports to TSA,
indicating the amount of the fees (no
more than $5.60 per one-way trip)
imposed on, collected from, and
refunded to passengers, and the amount
remitted to TSA. See 49 CFR 1510.17.
As initially promulgated in 2001, 49
CFR 1510.15 requires each air carrier
that collects security service fees from
more than 50,000 passengers annually
have an independent certified public
accountant perform an annual
independent audit of its security service
fee activities and accounts. TSA made a
decision in 2003 to conduct its own
audits of air carriers (under the
provisions of 49 CFR 1510.11),
mitigating the need for the annual
independent audit requirements. To that
end, the independent audit
requirements were suspended on
January 23, 2003. See 68 FR 3192. While
the independent audit requirements
have been suspended, air carriers are
still required to establish and maintain
an accounting system to account for the
security service fees imposed, collected,
refunded and remitted. See 49 CFR
1510.15(a).
The Office of Management and Budget
approved a revision to the collection to
reflect changes resulting from basing the
security service fee on enplanements to
basing the fee on one-way trips. See ICR
No. 201405–1652–001. That collection
has been approved through January
2015. TSA is seeking renewal of this
revised collection related to the
requirement for air carriers to submit
the quarterly reports to TSA, retain the
information for a three-year rolling

period, and provide to TSA upon
request the information required for the
quarterly reports or necessary for an
independent audit.
TSA estimates that 173 total
respondent air carriers will each spend
approximately 1 hour to prepare and
submit each quarterly report. TSA
estimates that all respondents will incur
a total of 692 hours (173 carriers * 4
quarterly reports * 1 hour per report) to
satisfy the quarterly reporting
requirements annually.
Should TSA reinstate the audit
requirement, TSA estimates that 105 air
carriers would be required to submit
annual audits, which would require
approximately 20 hours for preparation,
for a total of 2,100 hours (105 carriers
* 20 hours per audit) annually.
TSA estimates that all respondent air
carriers would incur 2,792 hours (692
hours for quarterly reports and 2,100
hours for audits) annually to satisfy the
quarterly report and audit requirements.
TSA estimates that the 173 air carriers
will each incur an average cost of
$363.96 annually to satisfy the quarterly
reporting requirement. This estimate
includes $291.00 in labor for
preparation of each quarterly report (4
reports * $72.75 per hour, each
quarterly report is estimated to take 1
hour to prepare), $71.00 in annual
records storage related costs, and $1.96
for postage to submit the report (4
stamps at 49 cents each). TSA estimates
an aggregate annual cost of $62,965.08
($363.96 cost * 173 air carriers) for all
air carriers to prepare, store, and submit
quarterly reports and a cost of
$188,895.24 for the three-year extension
period requested.
Should TSA reinstate the annual
audit requirement, TSA estimates that
105 air carriers would be required to
submit annual audits and would incur
an average cost of $3,074.50 per audit.
This estimate includes $3,000.00 in
labor for preparation of each audit (20
hours per report * $150.00 per hour),
$71.00 in annual records storage related
costs, and $3.50 for postage to submit
the report. TSA estimates an aggregate
annual cost of $322,822.50 ($3,074.50
cost * 105 air carries) for all air carriers
to prepare, store, and summit the annual
audit should the requirement be
reinstated and $968,647.50 for the threeyear extension period requested.

OMB Control Number: 1014–0003.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.),
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to prescribe rules and regulations
necessary for the administration of the
leasing provisions of that Act related to
mineral resources on the OCS. Such
rules and regulations will apply to all
operations conducted under a lease,
pipeline right-of-way, or a right-of-use
and easement. Section 1332(6) states
that ‘‘operations in the [O]uter
Continental Shelf should be conducted
in a safe manner by well trained
personnel using technology,
precautions, and other techniques
sufficient to prevent or minimize the
likelihood of blowouts, loss of well
control, fires, spillages, physical
obstructions to other users of the waters
or subsoil and seabed, or other
occurrences which may cause damage to
the environment or to property or
endanger life or health.’’
In addition to the general authority of
OCS Lands Act, section 301(a) of the
Federal Oil and Gas Royalty
Management Act (FOGRMA), 30 U.S.C.
1751(a), grants authority to the Secretary
to prescribe such rules and regulations
as are reasonably necessary to carry out
FOGRMA’s provisions. While the
majority of FOGRMA is directed to
royalty collection and enforcement,
some provisions apply to offshore
operations. For example, section 108 of
FOGRMA, 30 U.S.C. 1718, grants the
Secretary broad authority to inspect
lease sites for the purpose of
determining whether there is
compliance with the mineral leasing
laws. Section 109(c)(2) and (d)(1), 30
U.S.C. 1719(c)(2) and (d)(1), impose
substantial civil penalties for failure to
permit lawful inspections and for
knowing or willful preparation or
submission of false, inaccurate, or
misleading reports, records, or other
information. The Secretary has
delegated some of the authority under
FOGRMA to BSEE.
The Independent Offices
Appropriations Act (31 U.S.C. 9701), the
Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Pub. L.
104–133, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26,
1996), and OMB Circular A–25,
authorize Federal agencies to recover
the full cost of services that confer
special benefits. Under the Department
of the Interior’s implementing policy,
the Bureau of Safety and Environmental
Enforcement (BSEE) is required to
charge fees for services that provide
special benefits or privileges to an
identifiable non-Federal recipient above
and beyond those which accrue to the
public at large. Facility Production
