SUMMARY:

I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Vermont resulting
from a severe storm and flooding during the
period of October 29–30, 2017, 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

abstracted below that we will submit to

(LEO) Flying Armed Training course.
DATES: Send your comments by March

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

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 will be
available at http://www.reginfo.gov

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.
Consistent with the requirements of
Executive Order (E.O.) 13771, Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs, and E.O. 13777, Enforcing the
Regulatory Reform Agenda, TSA is also
requesting comments on the extent to
which this request for information could
be modified to reduce the burden on
respondents.
Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652–0034; Law
Enforcement Officer Flying Armed
Training. TSA is requesting approval for
the extension of the collection of this
information to comply with 49 CFR
1544.219, which requires Federal LEOs,
full-time territorial, tribal, municipal,
county or state LEOs who are direct
employees of government agencies, and
authorized railroad police officers to
complete the LEOs Flying Armed
training course in order to fly armed.
The course is a non-tactical overview of
the conditions under which an officer
may fly armed and the required conduct
and duties of the LEO while flying
armed. This collection permits TSA to
collect identifying information from law
enforcement agencies requesting the
LEO Flying Armed training course
materials.
The process begins when a
representative from a law enforcement
agency electronically requests the LEO
Flying Armed training course material
via the TSA Flying While Armed
website (https://www.tsa.gov/travel/lawenforcement). The fillable form, which
is submitted to TSA electronically, must
contain: full name of the officer, title,
phone number, email address,
employing department, work address,
supervisor’s name, supervisor’s title,
supervisor’s contact information, the
agency’s originating agency identifier
(ORI), an affirmation that the officer/
agency meets the requirements set forth
in 49 CFR 1544.219, and a brief

Jkt 244001

narrative detailing the agency’s
operational need to fly armed. Once the
fillable form is completed, TSA, through
its Office of Training and Development
(OTD), receives a notification via email.
OTD vets the request to ensure that all
of the required information has been
submitted and that the agency has a
current operational need to fly armed. If
OTD determines that the requesting
agency meets the standard set forth in
49 CFR 1544.219, they electronically
send a non-disclosure agreement (NDA)
to the requesting agency. Once OTD
receives the signed NDA, they will
electronically send the LEO Flying
Armed training course materials to the
requesting agency. OTD keeps an
electronic record of each agency that
they have sent LEO Flying Armed
training course material to, including a
point of contact (POC) for that agency.
If an issue arises during the screening
and verification process regarding the
authenticity of an agency that requests
training materials, no training materials
will be supplied until that issue has
either been confirmed or resolved, and
a record of such is maintained.
Upon completion of the training, the
LEO who has been authorized by his or
her agency to fly armed presents his or
her credentials and other required
documentation at the airport in order to
fly armed. A Transportation Security
Officer verifies all pertinent information
onsite. Based on current data, TSA
estimates there are approximately 2,000
respondents on an annual basis. At
most, each agency spends
approximately 5 minutes to provide the
information TSA needs to confirm the
law enforcement agencies are eligible to
receive the training. This amounts to
2000 agencies multiplied by 5 minutes
equals 166.6 hours (2000 agencies × 5
min = 10,000 min [166.6 hrs.]) for a total
annual hour burden of 167 hours.
Dated: January 19, 2018.

This Notice announces
changes in the interest rates to be paid
on debentures issued with respect to a
loan or mortgage insured by the Federal
Housing Administration under the
provisions of the National Housing Act
(the Act). The interest rate for
debentures issued under Section
221(g)(4) of the Act during the 6-month
period beginning January 1, 2018, is 2
3⁄8 percent. The interest rate for
debentures issued under any other
provision of the Act is the rate in effect
on the date that the commitment to
insure the loan or mortgage was issued,
or the date that the loan or mortgage was
endorsed (or initially endorsed if there
are two or more endorsements) for
insurance, whichever rate is higher. The
interest rate for debentures issued under
these other provisions with respect to a
loan or mortgage committed or endorsed
during the 6-month period beginning
January 1, 2018, is 23⁄4 percent.
SUMMARY:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Yong Sun, Department of Housing and
Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street

20410–8000; telephone (202) 402–4778
(this is not a toll-free number).
Individuals with speech or hearing
impairments may access this number
through TTY by calling the toll-free
Federal Information Relay Service at
(800) 877–8339.
Section
224 of the National Housing Act (12
U.S.C. 1715o) provides that debentures
issued under the Act with respect to an
insured loan or mortgage (except for
debentures issued pursuant to Section
221(g)(4) of the Act) will bear interest at
the rate in effect on the date the
commitment to insure the loan or
mortgage was issued, or the date the
loan or mortgage was endorsed (or
initially endorsed if there are two or
more endorsements) for insurance,
whichever rate is higher. This provision
is implemented in HUD’s regulations at
24 CFR 203.405, 203.479, 207.259(e)(6),
and 220.830. These regulatory
provisions state that the applicable rates
of interest will be published twice each
year as a notice in the Federal Register.
Section 224 further provides that the
interest rate on these debentures will be
set from time to time by the Secretary
of HUD, with the approval of the
Secretary of the Treasury, in an amount
not in excess of the annual interest rate
determined by the Secretary of the
Treasury pursuant to a statutory formula
based on the average yield of all
outstanding marketable Treasury
obligations of maturities of 15 or more
years.
