ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) invites public
comment on one currently approved
information collection requirement,
under OMB control number 1652–0027,
abstracted below that we will submit to

assessment in order to obtain the
hazardous materials endodrsement
(HME) on a commercial drivers license
(CDL) issued by the U.S. States and the
District of Columbia.

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 information collection
request (ICR) documentation is available
at www.reginfo.gov. Therefore, in
preparation for OMB review and
approval of the following information
collection, TSA is inviting comments
to—
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
information requirement is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
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
TSA is requesting renewal of the
currently approved ICR with minor
changes. This collection supports the
implementation of section 1012 of the
USA PATRIOT Act (Pub. L. 107–56, 115
Stat. 272, 396, Oct. 26, 2001), which
mandates that no State or the District of
Columbia may issue a hazardous
materials endorsement (HME) on a
commercial driver’s license (CDL)
unless TSA has first determined the
driver is not a threat to transportation
security. On November 24, 2004, TSA
published the final rule in the Federal
Register (69 FR 68720), codified at 49
CFR part 1572, that describes the
procedures, standards, and eligibility
criteria for security threat assessments
on individuals seeking to obtain, renew,
or transfer HME on a CDL. TSA
subsequently amended the rule on
January 25, 2007 (72 FR 3492). In order
to conduct the security threat
assessment, States (or a TSA designated
agent in States that elect to have TSA
perform the collection of information)
must collect information in addition to
that already collected for the purpose of
HME applications, which will occur
once approximately every five years.
The driver is required to submit an
application that includes personal
biographic information (for instance,
height, weight, eye and hair color, date
of birth); information concerning legal
status, mental health defects history,
military status, and criminal history; as
well as fingerprints. TSA is amending
the application to collect minor
additional information, such as whether
the driver is a new applicant or
renewing or transferring the HME, to
better understand and forecast driver
retention, transfer rate, and drop-rate to
help improve customer service, reduce
program costs, and provide
comparability with other Federal
background checks, including
Transportation Workers Identification
Credential (TWIC). In addition, the rule
(49 CFR 1572) requires States to
maintain a copy of the driver
application for a period of one year.

From 2008 through 2010, TSA
estimates respondent drivers will spend
approximately 3.4 million hours on the
application and background check
process. TSA estimates an annualized
348,000 respondents will apply for an
HME, and that the application and
background check process will involve
1.1 million annualized hours. TSA
estimates the total costs to respondent
drivers will be $92.8 million over the
three-year period ($31 million
annualized).

interest rate paid to the Treasury for
underpayments will be the Federal
short-term rate (4%) plus three
percentage points (3%) for a total of
seven percent (7%). For corporate
overpayments, the rate is the Federal
short-term rate (4%) plus two
percentage points (2%) for a total of six
percent (6%). For overpayments made
by non-corporations, the rate is the

accounts (underpayments) and refunds (overpayments) of customs duties.
For the calendar quarter beginning January 1, 2008, the interest rates
for overpayments will be 6 percent for corporations and 7 percent for
non-corporations, and the interest rate for underpayments will be 7

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1505 and Treasury Decision 85-93, published
in the Federal Register on May 29, 1985 (50 FR 21832), the interest
rate paid on applicable overpayments or underpayments of customs duties
must be in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code rate established
under 26 U.S.C. 6621 and 6622. Section 6621 was
[[Page 73866]]
amended (at paragraph (a)(1)(B) by the Internal Revenue Service
Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, Pub. L. Law 105-206, 112 Stat.
685) to provide different interest rates applicable to overpayments:
One for corporations and one for non-corporations.
The interest rates are based on the Federal short-term rate and
determined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on behalf of the
Secretary of the Treasury on a quarterly basis. The rates effective for
a quarter are determined during the first-month period of the previous
quarter.
In Revenue Ruling 2007-68, the IRS determined the rates of interest
for the calendar quarter beginning January 1, 2008, and ending March
31, 2008. The interest rate paid to the Treasury for underpayments will
be the Federal short-term rate (4%) plus three percentage points (3%)
for a total of seven percent (7%). For corporate overpayments, the rate
is the Federal short-term rate (4%) plus two percentage points (2%) for
a total of six percent (6%). For overpayments made by non-corporations,
the rate is the Federal short-term rate (4%) plus three percentage
points (3%) for a total of seven percent (7%). These interest rates are
subject to change for the calendar quarter beginning April 1, 2008, and
ending June 30, 2008.
For the convenience of the importing public and Customs and Border
Protection personnel the following list of IRS interest rates used,
covering the period from before July of 1974 to date, to calculate
interest on overdue accounts and refunds of customs duties, is
published in summary format.
