Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 158 / Thursday, August 16, 2007 / Notices
and General Duties for Ocean
Transportation Intermediaries and
Related Forms.
OMB Approval Number: 3072–0018
(Expires August 31, 2007).
Abstract: Section 19 of the Shipping
Act of 1984 (the ‘‘Act’’), 46 U.S.C.
40901–40904 (2006), as modified by
Public Law 105–258 (The Ocean
Shipping Reform Act of 1998) and
section 424 of Pub. L. 105–383 (The
Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1998),
provides that no person in the United
States may act as an ocean
transportation intermediary (OTI) unless
that person holds a license issued by the
Commission. The Commission shall
issue an OTI license to any person that
the Commission determines to be
qualified by experience and character to
act as an OTI. Further, no person may
act as an OTI unless that person
furnishes a bond, proof of insurance or
other surety in a form and amount
determined by the Commission to
ensure financial responsibility. The
Commission has implemented the
provisions of section 19 in regulations
contained in 46 CFR 515, including
financial responsibility forms FMC–48,
FMC–67, FMC–68, and FMC–69,
Optional Rider Forms FMC–48A and
FMC–69A, and its related license
application form, FMC–18.
Current Actions: The Commission
intends to revise Form FMC–18,
Application for a License as an Ocean
Transportation Intermediary.
Specifically, language is being added to
the Privacy Act Notice regarding
voluntary disclosure of the applicant’s
Social Security Number, and the System
of Records citation is being updated. In
the Paperwork Reduction Act Notice,
the estimated time to prepare an
Application is being revised from 1.5
hours per response to 2 hours.
Throughout the Application, any
reference to the Bureau of Consumer
Complaints and Licensing (‘‘BCCL’’) has
been changed to the Bureau of
Certification and Licensing (‘‘BCL’’).
Also, language has been added to
Question 7(2) in Part B, and to Question
13(3) in Part D, allowing applicant or its
qualifying individual to disclose
whether he/she has ‘‘been declared
bankrupt, been subject to a tax lien, or
had legal judgment rendered for a debt.’’
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, this would allow the agency, to
the greatest extent practicable, to collect
information about an applicant that may
be used in making a decision with
respect to the granting of an OTI license,
directly from the applicant.
Type of Review: Revision to an
approved information collection.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:27 Aug 15, 2007
Jkt 211001
Needs and Uses: The Commission
uses information obtained under this
part and through Form FMC–18 to
determine the qualifications of OTIs and
their compliance with shipping statutes
and regulations and to enable the
Commission to discharge its duties
under the Act by ensuring that OTIs
maintain acceptable evidence of
financial responsibility. If the collection
of information were not conducted,
there would be no basis upon which the
Commission could determine if
applicants are qualified for licensing.
Frequency: This information is
collected when applicants apply for a
license or when existing licensees
change certain information in their
application forms.
Type of Respondents: The
respondents are persons desiring to
obtain a license to act as an OTI. Under
the Act, OTIs may be either an ocean
freight forwarder, a non-vessel-operating
common carrier, or both.
Number of Annual Respondents: The
Commission estimates a potential
annual respondent universe of 4,765
entities.
Estimated Time Per Response: The
time per response for completing
Application Form FMC–18 averages 2
hours. The time to complete a financial
responsibility form averages 20 minutes.
Total Annual Burden: The
Commission estimates the total annual
person-hour burden at 3,596 personhours.

Secretary.

Both naturally occurring and
intentional public health threats have
the potential to cause catastrophic harm
in a variety of ways, including economic
repercussions and adverse effects on
health, in some cases leading to loss of
life. To meet these challenges, federal
government encourages open
communication with its stakeholders in
the research and development
communities and in industry. One
method of improving this
communication will be through the
MedicalCountermeasures.gov Web site.
The two key functions of the
MedicalCountermeasures.gov Web site
will be (1) to centrally manage
stakeholder requests for meetings with
government to present product
information related to medical
countermeasures against public health
disasters, both manmade and naturally
occurring; and (2) to provide our
stakeholders in industry and academia
with information on government
sponsored opportunities and events
related to medical countermeasures.
In order to route product developers
to the most appropriate personnel
within the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), HHS will
collect some basic information about the
company’s product through
MedicalCountermeasures.gov. Using
this information and a routing system

professional nursing educational
program and building upon previous
educational and training efforts.
Funding is made available for the
development of a basic baccalaureate
program at Kabul Medical University
and a registered nurse completion

which will include the demonstration of
direct patient care alongside Afghan
health-care nurse providers. All care
will also reflect an interdisciplinary
approach with full participation of the
medical and allied health team in the
delivery of care. Nurses can be the frontline provider of care and first point of
contact in many clinic settings,
especially for women and children.
The primary goal of this project is to
assist Afghanistan in the development
and strengthening of maternal and child
health clinics/hospital systems by
creating a solid, university-based,
culturally-appropriate professional
nursing educational program and
building upon previous educational and
training efforts at the IHS by enhancing
its three-year program for basic nursing.
The program will be approved initially
for a program period of one year in the
amount of $625,000 available (including
indirect costs), with continuing awards
contemplated for year two and year
three. Funding for the cooperative
agreement in subsequent years is
contingent upon the availability of
funds and the satisfactory performance
of the recipient.
