• Assessing intelligence and other
information in order to identify threats
to transportation security; and
• Coordinating countermeasures with
other Federal agencies to address such
threats, including the authority to
receive, assess, and distribute
intelligence information related to
transportation security (49 U.S.C.
114(d), (f)(1)–(5), (h)(1)–(4)).
To support these requirements, TSA
assesses the current security practices in
the surface transportation sector by way
of site visits and interviews through it’s
Corporate Security Review (CSR)
program, one piece of a much larger
domain awareness, prevention, and
protection program in support of TSA’s
and Department of Homeland Security’s
missions. TSA is seeking to renew its
OMB approval for this information
collection so that TSA can continue to
ascertain minimum-security standards
and identify coverage gaps, activities
that are critical to its mission of
ensuring transportation security.
The CSR is an ‘‘instructive’’ review
that provides TSA with an
understanding of each surface
transportation owner/operator’s ability
to protect its critical assets. In carrying
out CSRs, teams of modal experts from
TSA conduct site visits of critical
highway, mass transit, pipeline, and rail
assets throughout the nation. The TSA
team analyzes the owner’s/operator’s
security plan and determines if the
mitigation measures included in the
plan are being implemented. In addition
to reviewing the security plan
document, TSA tours the site and
interviews the owner’s/operator’s
security coordinator, employees, and
contractors. TSA collects information on
eleven topics: threat assessments,
vulnerability assessments, security
planning, credentialing, secure areas,
infrastructure protection, physical
security countermeasures, cyber
security, training, communications, and
exercises. TSA conducts this collection
through voluntary face-to-face visits,
which last an average of two days, at the
company/agency headquarters of
surface transportation owners/operators.
Typically, TSA sends three employees
to conduct a two-day discussion/
interview with representatives from the
company/agency owner/operator. At the
conclusion of these site visits, TSA
completes the Corporate Security
Review form, which asks questions
concerning the above mentioned topics.
TSA does not plan to collect
information from small businesses or
other small entities at this time.

The annual hour burden for this
information collection is estimated to be
1,200 hours. While TSA estimates a
total of 500 potential respondents, this
estimate is based on TSA conducting 75
visits per year, each visit lasting 2 days
(2 8-hour work days). The total annual
cost burden to respondents is $0.00.
Number of Respondents: 500.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 1,200 hours annually.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB
regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which
implement the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), require that
interested members of the public and
affected agencies have an opportunity to
comment on information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d)). Federal agencies may not
conduct or sponsor and a person is not
required to respond to a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
On August 3, 2005, we published in
the Federal Register (70 FR 44678) a 60day notice of our intent to request
renewal of this information collection
authority from OMB. In that notice, we
solicited public comments for 60 days

Boating Safety Act (16 U.S.C. 777g–1),
and the Coastal Wetlands Planning,
Protection, and Restoration Act (16
U.S.C. 3951–3956). The Federal
Assistance Grant Application Booklet
provides the public information on how
to apply for these Federal grants. We
collect information relevant to
eligibility, substantiality, relative value,
and budget information from applicants
in order to make awards of grants under
these programs. We also collect

practice is to make comments, including
names and home addresses of
respondents, available for public review
during regular business hours.
Individual respondents may request that
we withhold their home addresses from
the administrative record. We will
honor such requests to the extent
allowable by law. There may also be
other circumstances in which we would
withhold from the administrative record
a respondent’s identity, as allowable by
law. If you wish us to withhold your
name and address, you must state this
prominently at the beginning of your
comments. We will not, however,
consider anonymous comments. We
will make all submissions from
organizations or businesses, and from
individuals identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, available
for public inspection in their entirety.
The scrub-jay is geographically
isolated from other subspecies of scrubjays found in Mexico and the western
United States. The scrub-jay is found
exclusively in peninsular Florida and is
restricted to xeric uplands (well
drained, sandy soils supporting a
growth of oak dominated scrub).
Increasing urban and agricultural
development has resulted in habitat loss
and fragmentation, which has adversely
affected the distribution and numbers of
scrub-jays. The total estimated
population is between 7,000 and 11,000
individuals.
Although little is known about the
historic distribution and abundance of
scrub-jays in southeastern Florida, it can
be reasonably assumed that this species
once occupied most of the non-forested
xeric uplands along the Atlantic Coast
