SUMMARY:

I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Vermont resulting
from severe storms and flooding during the
period of April 15–18, 2014, is of sufficient
severity and magnitude to warrant a major
disaster declaration under the Robert T.
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the
‘‘Stafford Act’’). Therefore, I declare that such
a major disaster exists in the State of
Vermont.
In order to provide Federal assistance, you
are hereby authorized to allocate from funds
available for these purposes such amounts as
you find necessary for Federal disaster
assistance and administrative expenses.
You are authorized to provide Public
Assistance in the designated areas and
Hazard Mitigation throughout the State.
Consistent with the requirement that Federal
assistance be supplemental, any Federal
funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs. Federal
funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Public Assistance also will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs, with the
exception of projects that meet the eligibility
criteria for a higher Federal cost-sharing
percentage under the Public Assistance
Alternative Procedures Pilot Program for
Debris Removal implemented pursuant to
Section 428 of the Stafford Act.
Further, you are authorized to make
changes to this declaration for the approved
assistance to the extent allowable under the
Stafford Act.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be emailed
to [email protected] or delivered to the
TSA PRA Officer, Office of Information

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Christina A. Walsh at the above address,

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
TSA’s Screening Partnership Program
(SPP) (implementing 49 U.S.C. 44920)
enables commercial airports to apply for
a private screening company to provide
passenger and baggage security
screening services. An airport submits
the SPP application to have employees
of a qualified private company carry out
the screening of passengers and
property at the airport. The SPP
application will collect the following
from each airport seeking to participate
in SPP:
• Basic airport information: airport
name, FAA identifier, and airport
operating authority;
• Primary airport operator contact:
name, position, phone, mailing address
and email address;

• Indication of whether or not the
airport desires to provide its own
screening services;
• Recommendation on which private
screening company should perform the
screening function, and why, and
whether or not the airport intends to
enter into a business relationship with
the recommended company;
• Information on any major activities
scheduled to occur at the airport within
the next five years that could impact the
transition from federal screening to
private screening (for example, major
construction); and
• Optional information may be
provided to support the consideration of
their application.

Dated: June 26, 2014.

TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Office
of Information Technology.

Purpose and Description of Data
Collection

SUMMARY:

The submission of the SPP
application represents the initial
notification to TSA of an airport’s desire
to opt-out of the federal screening
provided by TSA employees. TSA
currently has a screening presence at
approximately 450 airports, of which 18
airports are actively participating in
SPP.
The annual burden for the
information collection related to SPP is
estimated to be two-hours thirty
minutes (2.5 hours). TSA estimates that
10 airports will respond annually. The
agency estimates that each respondent
airport will spend approximately one
quarter (.25) hour to complete the
application for a total burden of twohours thirty minutes (2.50 hours). TSA
does not require the airports to maintain
records of the application submission.
However, if the airport choses to do so,
the burden associated with this action is
anticipated to be minimal.

Use of Information
TSA will acknowledge receipt of the
application, review for completeness,
and provide an official response within
120 days from the date of
acknowledgement. If the application
submission is complete, TSA will
provide the applicant with an
appropriate approval response and
include a status update. If the
application is incomplete, TSA will
provide a detailed response identifying
the actions required for a successful
application submission.
The application contains no
personally identifiable information,
sensitive security information, or
classified information, so no special
handling or protection is required.
