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. The ICR documentation is
available at www.reginfo.gov. Therefore,
in preparation for OMB review and
approval of the following information
collection, TSA solicits comments in
order 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 through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Background
To help defray TSA’s costs of
providing civil aviation security
services, and as authorized by 49 U.S.C.
44940, TSA published in the Federal
Register on February 20, 2002, an
interim final rule adding part 1511 to
the Transportation Security Regulations,
which imposed a security service fee
(September 11th Security Fee) and a fee
known as the Aviation Security
Infrastructure Fee (ASIF) on certain air
carriers and foreign air carriers. See 67
FR 7926, as codified at 49 CFR part
1511. The amount of ASIF collected by
TSA from the carriers, both overall and
per carrier, is based upon the carriers’
aggregate and individual costs,
respectively, for screening passengers
and property in calendar year 2000. 49
U.S.C. 44940(a)(2)(B)(i), (ii).
In conjunction with the issuance of
part 1511, TSA requested OMB approval
to collect information necessary for TSA
to establish the ASIF, including
information about the carriers’
individual and aggregate costs related to
screening passengers and property in
calendar year 2000. This information
collection included submissions to TSA
of data on the carriers’ screening-related
costs and also of independent audits of
that data. On February 28, 2002, TSA
published in the Federal Register a
notice that OMB had approved the
required collection and submission of
PO 00000
Frm 00085
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
26417
this information under control number
(2110–0002). See 67 FR 9355. This
control number was subsequently
transferred to a TSA OMB control
number (1652–0001).
On May 18, 2004 (69 FR 28141), TSA
published a further information
collection request seeking OMB
approval to require air carriers to retain
the records that support carriers’ cost
submissions that were collected under
control number 1652–0001 (previously
2110–0002). OMB approved the request
and issued the collection OMB control
number 1652–0018. The information
collection proposed under this notice is
intended to apply to the retention
requirement of 49 CFR 1511.9, and
applies to OMB control number 1652–
0018.
Purpose of Information Collection
Under Part 1511, carriers must retain
any and all documents, records, or
information related to the amount of the
ASIF, including all information
applicable to the carrier’s calendar year
2000 security costs and information
reasonably necessary to complete an
audit. This requirement includes
retaining the source information for the
calendar year 2000 screening costs
reported to TSA; the calculations and
allocations performed to assign costs
submitted to TSA; information and
documents reviewed and prepared for
the required independent audit; the
accountant’s working papers, notes,
worksheets, and other relevant
documentation used in the audit; and, if
applicable, the specific information
leading to the accountant’s opinion,
including any determination that the
accountant could not provide an audit
opinion.
Description of Information Collection
The information collection,
submission, and retention requirement
applies to each air carrier and foreign air
carrier that incurred costs for the
screening of passengers and property in
calendar year 2000. It is estimated that
the 196 respondent air carriers and
foreign air carriers will each, on average,
incur $104.06 annually, which includes
$54.60 in records storage, and $50 in
labor costs for 2 hours of records
management at $25 per hour. Thus, the
total annual burden for 196 air carriers
is estimated at $20,396. The annual
average burden related to this
requirement for all respondents
combined over a three-year period is at
a cost of $61,187. TSA may use the
subject records to make determinations
regarding security-related costs in
calendar year 2000, including

Background
The Florida scrub-jay (scrub-jay) is
found exclusively in peninsular Florida
and is restricted to xeric uplands
(predominately in oak-dominated
scrub). Increasing urban and agricultural
development has resulted in habitat loss
and fragmentation, which have
adversely affected the distribution and
numbers of scrub-jays.
The total estimated population is
between 7,000 and 11,000 individuals.
The decline in the number and
distribution of scrub-jays in east-central
Florida has been exacerbated by
tremendous urban growth in the past 50
years. Much of the historic commercial
and residential development has
occurred on the dry soils which
previously supported scrub-jay habitat.
Much of this area of Florida was settled
early because few wetlands restricted
urban and agricultural development.
Due to the effects of urban and
agricultural development over the past
100 years, much of the remaining scrub-

Sfmt 4703
jay habitat is now relatively small and
isolated. What remains is largely
degraded due to the exclusion of fire,
which is needed to maintain xeric
uplands in conditions suitable for scrubjays.
Applicant’s Proposal
The applicant is requesting take of
approximately 2.2 ac of occupied scrubjay habitat incidental to the construction
of an industrial facility. The project is
located within Section 23, Township 25
South, Range 36 East, Rockledge,
Brevard County, Florida, on the west
side of Riomar Drive near its southern
terminus.
Development of the project, including
infrastructure, parking areas and
landscaping, preclude retention of
scrub-jay habitat onsite. Therefore, the
applicant proposes to mitigate for the
loss of 2.2 ac of occupied scrub-jay
habitat by donating $44,880 to the
Florida Scrub-jay Fund administered by
The Nature Conservancy. Funds in this
account are earmarked for use in the
conservation and recovery of scrub-jays
and may include habitat acquisition,
restoration, and/or management.
We have determined that the
applicant’s proposal, including the
proposed mitigation and minimization
measures, would have minor or
negligible effects on the species covered
in the HCP. Therefore, the ITP is a ‘‘loweffect’’ project and qualifies for
categorical exclusions under the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), as provided by the Department
of the Interior Manual (516 DM 2
Appendix 1 and 516 DM 6 Appendix 1).
This preliminary information may be
revised based on our review of public
comments that we receive in response to
this notice. A low-effect HCP is one
involving (1) minor or negligible effects
on federally listed or candidate species
and their habitats, and (2) minor or
negligible effects on other
environmental values or resources.
We will evaluate the HCP and
comments submitted thereon to
determine whether the application
meets the requirements of section 10(a)
of the Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If we
determine that the application meets
those requirements, we will issue the
ITP for incidental take of the Florida
scrub-jay. We will also evaluate whether
issuance of the section 10(a)(1)(B) ITP
complies with section 7 of the Act by
conducting an intra-Service section 7
consultation. We will use the results of
this consultation, in combination with
the above findings, in our final analysis
to determine whether or not to issue the
ITP.
