The Coast Guard seeks a grantee to provide programs to encourage greater participation and uniformity in State boating safety efforts. Applicants would provide a forum to encourage greater uniformity of boating laws and regulations, reciprocity among jurisdictions, and closer cooperation and assistance in developing, administering, and enforcing Federal and State laws and regulations pertaining to boating safety. Point of Contact: Ms. Audrey Pickup, 202–267–0872. 4. Develop and Conduct Boating Accident Investigation Seminars. The Coast Guard seeks a grantee to develop, provide instructional material, and conduct training courses nationwide for boating accident investigators, including three courses at the U.S. Coast Guard’s Maritime Law Enforcement Academy in Charleston, South Carolina. Point of Contact: Mr. Rick Gipe, 202–267–0985. 5. National Estimate of Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) Wear Rate. The Coast Guard seeks a grantee to develop a statistically valid national estimate and evaluation of wear rates of PFDs by recreational boaters. Wear rates should be determined by actual observation of boaters. Point of Contact: Mr. Bruce Schmidt, 202–267–0955. 6. Develop New National Boating Survey Instrument and Methodology. The Coast Guard seeks a grantee to develop, in liaison with multiple recreational boating interests, a new national boating survey instrument and methodology. This instrument and methodology are to be developed in consensus with various boating safety, boating industry and boating user groups, as well as Federal agencies and academia. In November 2004, a collective group met in East Lansing, Michigan to discuss boating research, and to recommend the highest priority actions that need to take place in the area of recreational boating research. This grant project is to respond to the recommendations provided by the November 2004 meeting by developing a survey instrument and methodology that will be implemented by the Coast Guard at a later date. Boating safety will be considered the main topic for the survey. The survey may include research on other recreational boating topics supported by other survey partners. Point of Contact: Mr. Barry Nobles, 202–267–0986. 7. Voluntary Standards Development Support. The Coast Guard seeks a grantee to carry out a program to encourage active participation by members of the public and other qualified persons in the development of VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:22 Nov 01, 2005 Jkt 208001 technically sound voluntary safety standards for boats and associated equipment. Point of Contact: Mr. Rick Gipe, 202–267–0985. We encourage proposals addressing other boating safety concerns. Potential grantees should focus on partnership, e.g., exploring other sources, linkages, in-kind contributions, cost sharing, and partnering with other organizations or corporations. The primary goal of the National Recreational Boating Safety Program is to reduce fatalities to specific levels for each upcoming year. With your application, we encourage you to list and describe the tools you will use to measure your grant’s performance toward achieving this goal or toward achieving a specific objective that will result in the achievement of this goal. For some examples of tools, we invite you to explore this CDC Web site: https://www.cdc.gov/ncipe/pub-res/ demonstr.htm. Please note: We published a Notice of availability for FY05 funds on October 6, 2004, 69 FR 59943. In that Notice, we stated that it would be the final year that our office would publish a notice of availability of funding for national nonprofit public service organizations in the Federal Register. We stated that, under Department of Homeland Security policy, we would announce future availability of funding electronically, at the Web site: www.grants.gov. Because the FY06 Notice of Funds Availability is not yet available on that website, we are publishing the information in the Federal Register again this year to provide information to the public in a timely manner.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments Invited In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information, unless it displays a valid OMB control number. Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and approval of the following information collection, TSA is soliciting comments to— (1) Evaluate whether the proposed information requirement is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden; (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 using appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Information Collection Requirement Title: Corporate Security Review (CSR). Type of Request: Renewal of one current public collection. OMB Control Number: 1652–0036. Forms(s): Corporate Security Review Form. Affected Public: Surface Transportation System Owners and Operators. Abstract: The Aviation and Transportation Security Act of 2001 (ATSA) (Public Law 107–71) requires TSA to oversee the security of the nation’s surface transportation system. Specifically, ATSA grants TSA authority to execute its responsibilities for: • Enhancing security in all modes of transportation; E:\FR\FM\02NON1.SGM 02NON1 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Notices • 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. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:22 Nov 01, 2005 Jkt 208001 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. Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on October 25, 2005.
