Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 240 / Tuesday, December 15, 2015 / Notices
To provide for screening of all property,
including U.S. mail, cargo, carry-on and
checked baggage, and other articles, that
will be carried aboard a passenger
aircraft; and (2) to establish a system to
screen, inspect, report, or otherwise
ensure the security of all cargo that is to
be transported in all-cargo aircraft as
soon as practicable. See ATSA sec. 110
as codified at 49 U.S.C. 44901(a) and (f).
These provisions were further amended
by the Implementing Recommendations
of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (9/
11 Act), to require 50 percent of cargo
transported on passenger aircraft be
screened by February 2009, and 100
percent of such cargo to be screened by
August 2010. See 9/11 Act sec. 1602(a)
as codified at 49 U.S.C. 44901(g).
Collections of information associated
with the 9/11 Act requirements fall
under OMB control number 1652–0053.
TSA must proceed with this ICR in
order to meet the Congressional
mandates and continue to enforce
current TSA regulations covering the
acceptance, handling, and screening of
cargo transported by air. The
uninterrupted collection of this
information will allow TSA to continue
to ensure implementation of these vital
security measures for the protection of
the traveling public. TSA also is
revising the collection to include
information select regulated entities
operating under certain amendments to
their aircraft operator and foreign air
carrier security programs must provide
to TSA detailing screening volumes and
the methodology utilized to arrive at
these volumes, as well as demonstrating
progress toward full compliance with
the cargo security measures specified in
such amendments.

Data Collection
This information collection requires
the ‘‘regulated entities,’’ which includes
aircraft operators, foreign air carriers,
and indirect air carriers (IACs), to
collect certain information as part of the
implementation of a standard security
program, to submit modifications to the
standard security program to TSA for
approval, and update such programs as
necessary. As part of these security
programs, the regulated entities must
also collect personal information and
submit such information to TSA so that
TSA may conduct STAs on individuals
with unescorted access to cargo. This
includes each individual who is a
general partner, officer, or director of an
IAC or an applicant to be an IAC, and
certain owners of an IAC or an applicant
to be an IAC; and any individual who
has responsibility for screening cargo
under 49 CFR parts 1544, 1546, or 1548.

Jkt 238001
Further, both companies and
individuals whom aircraft operators,
foreign air carriers, and IACs have
qualified to ship cargo on passenger
aircraft, also referred to as ‘‘known
shippers,’’ must submit information to
TSA, This information is collected
electronically through the KSMS. In
accordance with TSA security program
requirements, regulated entities may use
an alternate manual submission method
to identify known shippers.
Regulated entities must also enter into
IACMS the information required from
applicants requesting to be approved as
IACs in accordance with 49 CFR 1548.7
and the information required for their
IAC annual renewal. Regulated entities
must also maintain records, including
records pertaining to security programs,
training, and compliance to demonstrate
adherence with the regulatory
requirements. These records must be
made available to TSA upon request.
The forms used in this collection of
information include the Aviation
Security Known Shipper Verification
Form and the Security Threat
Assessment Application.
Finally, select regulated entities
operating under certain amendments to
their aircraft operator and foreign air
carrier security programs must provide
information detailing screening volumes
and the methodology utilized to arrive
at these volumes, as well as
demonstrating progress toward full
compliance with the cargo security
measures specified in such
amendments. In light of current security
threats, the collection of this
information is critical.
Estimated Burden Hours
TSA estimates the hour burden for
regulated entities associated with initial
application of security programs via
IACMS to be 4 hours for each of 340
average annual new entrants for an
average annual hour burden of 1360
hours.
For the STA requirement, based on a
15-minute estimate for each of the
average 98,500 annual responses, TSA
estimates that the average annual
burden will be 24,625 hours.
For the KSMS, given that the IAC or
aircraft operator must input a name,
address, and telephone number, TSA
estimates it will take 2 minutes for the
476,167 electronic submissions for a
total annual burden of 15,872 hours.
Also for KSMS, TSA estimates it will
take one hour for the 8,000 manual
submissions for a total annual burden of
8,000 hours.
TSA estimates the hour burden
associated with the security program
renewals via IACMS to be 4 hours for
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4703

each of the 4,100 IACs for an average
annual hour burden of 16,400 hours.
TSA estimates one percent of IACs (41)
will file an appeal of rejected or
incomplete renewals at 5 hours per
appeal for an average annual hour
burden of 205 hours.
For the record keeping requirement,
based on a 5-minute estimate for each of
the 98,500 annual responses, TSA
estimates that the total average annual
burden will be 8,208 hours.
For the cargo screening reports to be
submitted by select aircraft operators
and foreign air carriers operating under
amendments to their security programs,
TSA estimates that 10 air carriers will
compile the required cargo screening
information at an estimated time of one
hour each per week with estimated
annual burden of 520 hours (10 × 52).

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Housing Choice Voucher (HCV)
Program.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0169.
Type of Request: Revision of currently
approved collection with changes that
include portability paperwork,
inclusion of the information or briefing
packet, and testing a new inspection
protocol for HCV units.

Process, Final Rule published in the
Information collection
Number of
respondents
Federal Register on August 20, 2015. No
burden hours were added.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: Public
Housing Agencies (PHA) will prepare an
application for funding which specifies
the number of units requested, as well
as the PHA’s objectives and plans for
administering the HCV program. The
application is reviewed by HUD
Headquarters and HUD Field Offices
and ranked according to the PHA’s
administrative capability, the need for
housing assistance, and other factors
specified in a notice of funding
availability. The PHAs must establish a
utility allowance schedule for all
utilities and other services. Units must
be inspected using HUD-prescribed
forms to determine if the units meet the
housing quality standards (HQS) of the
HCV program. In addition, HUD will be
testing an alternative protocol for
conducting housing inspections at up to
250 PHAs, using HUD-provided
software. The alternative protocol is
intended to standardize inspections
between PHAs and create a more
objective list of unit deficiencies for
inspectors to use. The amount of time it
takes PHAs to perform the inspection
using the existing set of standards and
protocols and to perform the inspection
under alternative inspection protocol is
equivalent; therefore there is no increase
in burden hours.
After the family is issued a HCV to
search for a unit pursuant to attending
a briefing and receiving an information
packet, the family must complete and
submit to the PHA a Request for
Tenancy Approval when it finds a unit
which is suitable for its needs. Initial
Frequency of
response

PHAs will use a standardized form to
submit portability information to the
receiving PHA who will also use the
form for monthly portability billing.
PHAs and owners will enter into
housing assistance payments (HAP)
contract each providing information on
rents, payments, certifications,
notifications, and owner agreement in a
form acceptable to the PHA. A tenancy
addendum is included in the HAP
contract as well as incorporated in the
lease between the owner and the family.
Families that participate in the
Homeownership option will execute a
statement regarding their
responsibilities and execute contracts of
sale including an additional contract of
sale for new construction units. PHAs
participating in the project-based
voucher (PBV) program will enter into
Agreements with developing owners,
HAP contracts with the existing and
New Construction/Rehabilitation
owners, Statement of Family
Responsibility with the family and a
lease addendum will be provided for
execution between the family and the
owner.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
