Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 129 / Thursday, July 7, 2005 / Notices 39323 TABLE E–1.—OVERVIEW OF PRIVACY THREATS AND MITIGATION MEASURES Type of threat Description of threat Type of measures to counter/mitigate threat Unintentional threats from insiders 15. Unintentional threats include gaps in the privacy policy; mistakes in information system design, development, integration, configuration, and operation; and errors made by custodians (i.e., personnel of organizations with custody of the information). These threats can be physical (e.g., leaving documents in plain view) or electronic in nature. These threats can result in insiders being granted access to information for which they are not authorized or not consistent with their responsibility. Threat actions can be characterized as improper use of authorized capabilities (e.g., browsing, removing information from trash) and circumvention of controls to take unauthorized actions (e.g., removing data from a workstation that has been not been shut off).. Intentional: Threats can be characterized as improper use of authorized capabilities (e.g., misuse of information provided by (US–VISIT) and circumvention of controls to take unauthorized actions (e.g., unauthorized access to system).. Unintentional: Flaws in privacy policy definition; mistakes in information system design, development, integration, configuration, and operation; and errors made by custodians. Threats actions can be characterized by mechanism: physical attack (e.g., theft of equipment), electronic attack (e.g., hacking or other unauthorized access, interception of communications), and personnel attack (e.g., social engineering). These threats are addressed by a privacy policy consistent with Fair Information Practices, laws, regulations, and OMB guidance; (b) defining appropriate functional and interface requirements; development, integrating, and configuring the system in accordance with these requirements and best security practices; and testing and validating the system against those requirements; and (c) providing clear operating instructions and training to users and system administrators. These threats are addressed by a combination of technical safeguards (e.g., access control, auditing, and anomaly detection) and administrative safeguards (e.g., procedures, training). Intentional threat from insiders. Intentional and unintentional threats from authorized external entities 16. Intentional threats from external unauthorized entities. These threats are addressed by technical safeguards (in particular, boundary controls such as firewalls) and administrative safeguards in the form of periodic privacy policy and practice compliance audits and routine use agreements and memoranda of understanding which require external entities (a) to conform with the rules of behavior and (b) to provide safeguards consistent with, or more stringent than, those of the system or program. These threats are addressed by physical safeguards, boundary controls at external interfaces, technical safeguards (e.g., identification and authentication, encrypted communications), and clear operating instructions and training for users and systems administrators. 15 Here, the term ‘‘insider’’ is intended to include individuals acting under the authority of the system owner or program manager. These include users, system administrators, maintenance personnel, and others authorized for physical access to system components. 16 These include individuals and systems that are not under the authority of the system owner or program manager, but are authorized to receive information from, provide information to, or interface electronically with the system.

Previous Request for Comments This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The Coast Guard has already published the 60-day notice required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2) (70 FR 21805, April 27, 2005). That notice elicited two comments. The first comment relates to information collection 1625–0083. The commenter states that the Coast Guard should not allow vessels carrying toxics, including oil, into the U.S. unless they have double hulls and suggests that we discontinue the information collection. In general, the comment is beyond the scope of this information collection. Summarily, information collection 1625–0083 requires the master, owner, or operator of a tank vessel to record and document information that is necessary for the safe operation of the vessel and to manage operational procedures, records, and licenses. The recordkeeping requirements in this collection ensure that pilots are adequately informed of the vessel’s status, maneuvering capabilities, and under-keel clearance before beginning a transit. This collection aids the Coast Guard by allowing inspectors to determine if a vessel is in compliance with the requirements contained in 33 CFR part 157. The supporting statement in the docket contains details of this collection. Collection of Information PO 00000 Frm 00092 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (COI) 1625–0083 is one of many collections related to environmental protection and maritime security. The second comment relates to 1625–0060, Vapor Control Systems for Facilities and Tank Vessels. The commenter raises two points: • Alternative methods of inspection should be allowed, and; • Our estimated hour burden is too low—commenter used an example of it taking 800 to 1200 man-hours per year for one large facility to comply with 33 CFR 156.170(g)(3) requirements. In response to the first point, the Coast Guard notes that 33 CFR part 156 already has a provision for the Captain of the Port (COTP) to consider and approve alternatives in general. Section 156.107 of that part allows the COTP to consider and approve alternatives, procedures, methods, or equipment standards to be used by a vessel or facility operator in lieu of any requirements in this part if certain conditions are met. In response to the second point, the comments are beyond the scope of this notice. The equipment tests and inspections in 33 CFR 156.170 are covered by a different collection of information: 1625–0095, Oil and Hazardous Materials Pollution Prevention and Safety Records, Equivalents/Alternatives and Exemptions (see 1990 final rule entitled ‘‘Marine Vapor Control Systems,’’ 55 FR 25396, 25427, June 21, 1990). The 1625– 0095 collection has been approved through March 2006. Information Collection Request 1. Title: Vapor Control Systems for Facilities and Tank Vessels. OMB Control Number: 1625–0060. Type of Request: Extension. Affected Public: Owners and operators of facilities and tank vessels, and certifying entities. Forms: None. Abstract: The information is needed to ensure compliance with U.S. regulations for the design of facility and tank vessel vapor control systems (VCS). The information is also needed to determine the qualifications of a certifying entity. Burden Estimates: The estimated burden has increased from 1,073 hours to 1,145 hours a year. 2. Title: Alternate Compliance Program. OMB Control Number: 1625–0081. Type of Request: Extension. Affected Public: Recognized classification societies. Forms: CG–3752. Abstract: This information is used by the Coast Guard to assess vessels E:\FR\FM\07JYN1.SGM 07JYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 129 / Thursday, July 7, 2005 / Notices participating in the voluntary Alternate Compliance Program (ACP) before issuance of a Certificate of Inspection. Burden Estimates: The estimated burden has increased from 150 hours to 164 hours a year. 3. Title: Operational Measures for Existing Tank Vessels Without Double Hulls. OMB Control Number: 1625–0083. Type of Request: Extension. Affected Public: Owners, operators and masters of certain tank vessels. Forms: None. Abstract: The information is needed to ensure compliance with U.S. regulations regarding operational measures for certain tank vessels while operating in the U.S. waters. Burden Estimates: The estimated burden has decreased from 18,006 hours to 6,807. Dated: June 30, 2005. Nathaniel S.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: On November 3, 2004, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published two Notices in the Federal Register extending the designations of Honduras and Nicaragua for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) until July 5, 2006, and automatically extending employment authorization documents (EADs) for the beneficiaries of TPS for Honduras and Nicaragua for six months, from January 5, 2005 until July 5, 2005. Beneficiaries of TPS for Honduras and Nicaragua are required to re-register and obtain new EADs. However, because of the large number of beneficiaries for TPS for Nicaragua and Honduras, USCIS will not be able to process and re-issue new EADs for all such beneficiaries by the July 5, 2005 VerDate jul<14>2003 19:31 Jul 06, 2005 Jkt 205001 expiration date. Accordingly, USCIS has decided to extend the validity of EADs issued to Honduran or Nicaraguan nationals (or aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Honduras or Nicaragua) under the extension of the TPS designations for an additional 90 days, from July 5, 2005 until October 5, 2005. This Notice announces that extension and also explains how TPS beneficiaries and their employers may determine which EADs are automatically extended. DATES: The extension of EADs is effective July 5, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Colleen Cook, Residence and Status Services, Office of Programs and Regulations Development, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Department of Homeland Security, 111 Massachusetts Avenue, NW., 3rd Floor, Washington, DC 20529, telephone (202) 514–4754. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Why Is USCIS Automatically Extending the Validity of EADS for Honduran and Nicaraguan TPS Beneficiaries? Considering the large number of applications, it is likely that many reregistrants will receive their new EAD after the expiration date of their current EAD. In order to prevent a gap in employment authorization for qualified re-registrants, DHS is extending the validity of applicable EADs to October 5, 2005. Who Is Eligible To Receive an Automatic Extension of His or Her EAD? To receive an automatic extension of his or her EAD, an individual must be a national of Honduras or Nicaragua (or an alien having no nationality who last habitually resided in Honduras or Nicaragua) who has applied for and received an EAD under the TPS designation of Honduras or Nicaragua. This automatic extension is limited to EADs bearing an expiration date of January 5, 2005, that were issued on either Form I–766, Employment Authorization Document, or Form I– 688B, Employment Authorization Card. The EAD must also be either (1) a Form I–766 bearing the notation ‘‘A–12’’ or ‘‘C–19’’ on the face of the card under ‘‘Category,’’ or (2) a Form I–688B bearing the notation ‘‘274a.12(a)(12)’’ or ‘‘274a.12(c)(19)’’ on the face of the card under ‘‘Provision of Law.’’ Must Qualified Individuals Apply for the Automatic Extension of Their TPSRelated EADs? No, qualified individuals do not have to apply for this automatic employment PO 00000 Frm 00093 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 39325 authorization extension to October 5, 2005. What Documents May a Qualified Individual Show to His or Her Employer as Proof of Employment Authorization and Identity When Completing Form I–9, Employment Eligibility Verification? For completion of the Form I–9 at the time of hire or re-verification, qualified individuals who are receiving a threemonth extension of their EADs by virtue of this Federal Register Notice may present to their employer a TPS-based EAD as proof of identity and employment authorization until October 5, 2005. To minimize confusion over this extension at the time of hire or reverification, qualified individuals may also present to their employer a copy of this Federal Register Notice regarding the automatic extension of employment authorization documentation to October 5, 2005. In the alternative, any legally acceptable document or combination of documents listed in List A, List B, or List C of the Form I–9 may be presented as proof of identity and employment eligibility; it is the choice of the employee. How May Employers Determine Whether an EAD Has Been Automatically Extended Through October 5, 2005 and Is Therefore Acceptable for Completion of the Form I–9? For purposes of verifying identity and employment eligibility or re-verifying employment eligibility on the Form I–9 until October 5, 2005, employers of Honduran and Nicaraguan TPS beneficiaries whose EADs have been automatically extended by this Notice must accept such EAD if presented. An EAD that has been automatically extended by this notice to October 5, 2005 will actually contain an expiration date of January 5, 2005, and must be either (1) a Form I–766 bearing the notation ‘‘A–12’’ or ‘‘C–19’’ on the face of the card under ‘‘Category,’’ or (2) a Form I–688B bearing the notation ‘‘274a.12(a)(12)’’ or ‘‘274a.12(c)(19)’’ on the face of the card under ‘‘Provision of Law.’’ New EADs or extension stickers showing the October 5, 2005 expiration date will not be issued. Employers should not request proof of Honduran or Nicaraguan citizenship. Employers presented with an EAD that has been extended pursuant to this Federal Register Notice, if it appears to be genuine and appears to relate to the employee, should accept the EAD as a valid ‘‘List A’’ document and should not ask for additional Form I–9 documentation.

Previous Request for Comments

    This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The 
Coast Guard has already published the 60-day notice required by 44 
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2) (70 FR 21805, April 27, 2005). That notice elicited 
two comments. The first comment relates to information collection 1625-
0083. The commenter states that the Coast Guard should not allow 
vessels carrying toxics, including oil, into the U.S. unless they have 
double hulls and suggests that we discontinue the information 
collection. In general, the comment is beyond the scope of this 
information collection. Summarily, information collection 1625-0083 
requires the master, owner, or operator of a tank vessel to record and 
document information that is necessary for the safe operation of the 
vessel and to manage operational procedures, records, and licenses. The 
recordkeeping requirements in this collection ensure that pilots are 
adequately informed of the vessel's status, maneuvering capabilities, 
and under-keel clearance before beginning a transit. This collection 
aids the Coast Guard by allowing inspectors to determine if a vessel is 
in compliance with the requirements contained in 33 CFR part 157. The 
supporting statement in the docket contains details of this collection. 
Collection of Information (COI) 1625-0083 is one of many collections 
related to environmental protection and maritime security. The second 
comment relates to 1625-0060, Vapor Control Systems for Facilities and 
Tank Vessels. The commenter raises two points:
     Alternative methods of inspection should be allowed, and;
     Our estimated hour burden is too low--commenter used an 
example of it taking 800 to 1200 man-hours per year for one large 
facility to comply with 33 CFR 156.170(g)(3) requirements.
    In response to the first point, the Coast Guard notes that 33 CFR 
part 156 already has a provision for the Captain of the Port (COTP) to 
consider and approve alternatives in general. Section 156.107 of that 
part allows the COTP to consider and approve alternatives, procedures, 
methods, or equipment standards to be used by a vessel or facility 
operator in lieu of any requirements in this part if certain conditions 
are met.
    In response to the second point, the comments are beyond the scope 
of this notice. The equipment tests and inspections in 33 CFR 156.170 
are covered by a different collection of information: 1625-0095, Oil
