transfer of technology to the private
sector for commercial use, as well as
specified research or development
efforts that are consistent with the
mission of the Federal parties to the
CRADA. The Federal party or parties
agree with one or more non-Federal
parties to share research resources, but
the Federal party does not contribute
funding.
CRADAs are not procurement
contracts. Care is taken to ensure that
CRADAs are not used to circumvent the
contracting process. CRADAs have a
specific purpose and should not be
confused with procurement contracts,
grants, and other type of agreements.
Under this CRADA, the R&D Center
will collaborate with a non-Federal
participant. Together, the R&D Center
and the non-Federal participant will
collect information/data for
performance, reliability, maintenance
requirements, human systems
integration and other data on using
smart phone’s location services for
geolocation.
We anticipate the Coast Guard’s
contributions under this CRADA will
include the following:
(1) Research by the parties under this
CRADA will be performed offsite at
Callyo 2009 Corporation’s facilities and
the RDC.
(2) Provide web based support at the
following locations:
CG Sector New York: Staten Island, NY
CG Sector Long Island Sound: New
Haven, CT
CG Sector Boston: Boston, MA
CG Sector Southeastern New England:
Woods Hole, MA
CG Sector Northern New England:
South Portland, ME
We anticipate that the non-Federal
participant’s contributions under this
CRADA will include the following:
(1) Provide technical support, training
and maintenance throughout the period
of performance to ensure maximum
availability and utility of Callyo 2009
Corporation i911 web based solution.
(2) Deployment of the Callyo 2009
Corporation i911 capability, including
the interface to the RapidSOS NG911
Clearinghouse, at each CG Sector.
The Coast Guard reserves the right to
select for CRADA participants all, some,
or no proposals submitted for this
CRADA. The Coast Guard will provide
no funding for reimbursement of
proposal development costs. Proposals
and any other material submitted in
response to this notice will not be
returned. Proposals submitted are
authority is delegated to the Coast Guard and other
DHS organizational elements by DHS Delegation
No. 0160.1, para. II.B.34.

expected to be unclassified and have no
more than five single-sided pages.
The Coast Guard will select proposals
at its sole discretion on the basis of:
(1) How well they communicate an
understanding of, and ability to meet,
the proposed CRADA’s goal; and
(2) How well they address the
following criteria:
(a) Technical capability to support the
non-Federal party contributions
described; and
(b) Resources available for supporting
the non-Federal party contributions
described.
Currently, the Coast Guard entered a
CRADA with Callyo 2009 Corporation
for participation in this CRADA. This
consideration is based on the fact that
Callyo 2009 Corporation has
demonstrated its technical ability as the
developer, manufacturer, and integrator
of cellular direction finding equipment.
However, we do not wish to exclude
other viable participants from this or
future similar CRADAs.
The CRADA with Callyo 2009
Corporation is based on market research
and visits to vendors with advertised
expertise in this operational use of
cellular phone geolocation technology.
This is a technology assessment effort.
The goal for the Coast Guard of this
CRADA is to better understand the
advantages, disadvantages, required
technology enhancements, performance,
costs, and other issues associated with
cellular direction finding technologies.
Special consideration will be given to
small business firms/consortia, and
preference will be given to business
units located in the U.S. This document
is issued under the authority of 5 U.S.C.
552(a).

Overview of This Information
Collection
Title: CBP Recordkeeping
Requirements.
OMB Number: 1651–0076.
Abstract: The North American Free
Trade Agreement Implementation Act,
Title VI, known as the Customs
Modernization Act (Mod Act) amended
title 19 U.S.C. 1508, 1509 and 1510 by
revising customs laws related to
recordkeeping, examination of books
and witnesses, regulatory audit
procedures and judicial enforcement.
Specifically, the Mod Act amended
§ 1508 by expanding the list of parties
subject to recordkeeping requirements;
distinguishing between records which
pertain to the entry of merchandise and
financial records needed to substantiate
the correctness of information contained
in entry documentation; and identifying
a list of records which must be
maintained and produced upon request
by CBP. The information and records
are used by CBP to verify the accuracy
of the claims made on the entry
documents regarding the tariff status of
imported merchandise, admissibility,
classification/nomenclature, value and
rate of duty applicable to the entered
goods. The CBP recordkeeping
requirements are provided for by 19
CFR 163 and instructions are available
at: http://www.cbp.gov/document/
publications/recordkeeping.
Current Actions: CBP proposes to
extend the expiration date of this
information collection with no change
to the burden hours or to the
recordkeeping requirements.
Type of Review: Extension (without
change).
Affected Public: Businesses.
