Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 31 / Tuesday, February 15, 2022 / Notices
the Voluntary Agreement is effective
until August 17, 2025, and may be
extended subject to additional approval
by the Attorney General after
consultation with the Chairman of the
Federal Trade Commission. The
Agreement may be used to prepare for
or respond to any pandemic, including
COVID–19, during that time.
On December 7, 2020, the first plan of
action under the Voluntary
Agreement—the Plan of Action to
Establish a National Strategy for the
Manufacture, Allocation, and
Distribution of Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) to Respond to COVID–
19 (PPE Plan of Action)—was finalized.5
The PPE Plan of Action established
several sub-committees under the
Voluntary Agreement, focusing on
different aspects of the PPE Plan of
Action.
On May 24, 2021, four additional
plans of action under the Voluntary
Agreement—the Plan of Action to
Establish a National Strategy for the
Manufacture, Allocation, and
Distribution of Diagnostic Test Kits and
other Testing Components to respond to
COVID–19, the Plan of Action to
Establish a National Strategy for the
Manufacture, Allocation, and
Distribution of Drug Products, Drug
Substances, and Associated Medical
Devices to respond to COVID–19, the
Plan of Action to Establish a National
Strategy for the Manufacture,
Allocation, and Distribution of Medical
Devices to respond to COVID–19, and
the Plan of Action to Establish a
National Strategy for the Manufacture,
Allocation, and Distribution of Medical
Gases to respond to COVID–19—were
finalized.6 These plans of action
established several sub-committees
under the Voluntary Agreement,
focusing on different aspects of each
plan of action.
The meetings are chaired by the
FEMA Administrator’s delegates from
the Office of Response and Recovery
(ORR) and Office of Policy and Program
Analysis (OPPA), attended by the
Attorney General’s delegates from the
U.S. Department of Justice, and attended
by the Chairman of the Federal Trade
Commission’s delegates. In
implementing the Voluntary Agreement,
FEMA adheres to all procedural
requirements of 50 U.S.C. 4558 and 44
CFR part 332.
Meeting Objectives: The objectives of
the meetings are as follows:

1. Convene the Requirements SubCommittees under the Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) and
Diagnostic Test Kits Plans of Action to
establish priorities related to the
COVID–19 response under the
Voluntary Agreement.
2. Gather Requirements SubCommittee Participants and Attendees
to ask targeted questions for situational
awareness.
3. Identify pandemic-related
information gaps and areas that merit
sharing by holding quarterly meetings of
the Requirements Sub-Committees with
key stakeholders.
4. Identify potential Objectives and
Actions that should be completed under
the Requirements Sub-Committees.
Meetings Closed to the Public: By
default, the DPA requires meetings held
to implement a voluntary agreement or
plan of action be open to the public.7
However, attendance may be limited if
the Sponsor 8 of the voluntary
agreement finds that the matter to be
discussed at a meeting falls within the
purview of matters described in 5 U.S.C.
552b(c), such as trade secrets and
commercial or financial information.
The Sponsor of the Voluntary
Agreement, the FEMA Administrator,
found that these meetings to implement
the Voluntary Agreement involve
matters which fall within the purview of
matters described in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)
and the meetings are therefore closed to
the public.
Specifically, these meetings may
require participants to disclose trade
secrets or commercial or financial
information that is privileged or
confidential. Disclosure of such
information allows for meetings to be
closed to the public pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(4).
The success of the Voluntary
Agreement depends wholly on the
willing participation of the private
sector participants. Failure to close
these meetings to the public could
reduce active participation by the
signatories due to a perceived risk that
sensitive company information could be
released to the public. A public
disclosure of a private sector
participant’s information executed
prematurely could reduce trust and
support for the Voluntary Agreement.
A resulting loss of support by the
participants for the Voluntary
Agreement would significantly hinder
the implementation of the Agency’s

functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(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 through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a Currently Approved
Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Designation of Attorney in Fact/
Revocation of Attorney in Fact.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Homeland Security
sponsoring the collection: I–312/I–312A;
U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: State, Local, or Tribal
Government. Section 103.6, the
Immigration and Nationality Act (INA),
provides for the posting of surety or
cash bonds. All bonds posted in
immigration cases shall be executed on
Form I–352, Immigration Bond, and
secured with some form of collateral by
an Obligor. In the case of a cash bond,
the Obligor will deposit with U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) the face value of the bond. The
Obligor can designate a third party as an
Attorney in Fact to accept on their
behalf the return of the collateral
security deposited to secure the surety
bond upon cancellation of the bond or
performance of the Obligor. The Form I–
312, Designation of Attorney in Fact, is
the instrument used by the Obligor to
officially designate their Attorney in
Fact. Upon receipt of a properly
executed Form I–312, ICE Financial
Operations will remit to the Attorney in
Fact the principal and interest on the
security deposit in the event of a bond
cancellation, or the interest on the
security deposit in the event of a bond
breach. Immigration bonds might
remain in place for years, and Obligors
might choose to appoint a new Attorney
in Fact as circumstances change. To

ensure that ICE Financial Operations
properly executes its fiduciary duties to
the Obligor under the Form I–352 bond
contract, and exercises due diligence in
ensuring that remittances are made to
the proper person, ICE uses Form I–
312A as the document by which the
Obligor could expressly indicate that a
previously valid Form I–312 Attorney in
Fact designation had been revoked. The
requested revisions are specific to the
instructions concerning obligor
requirements and the attorney’s
authority to perform acts necessary to
receive proceeds of the bond. There are
revisions to the I–312 instructions. The
revisions relate to the obligor
requirements and to the attorney’s
authority to perform acts necessary to
received bond proceeds.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: 193 responses at 1 hour (60
minutes) per response.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: 193 annual burden hours.
(7) An estimate of the total public
burden (in cost) associated with the
collections: $6,370.
Dated: February 10, 2022.
