On February, 21, 2003, the Commission issued Order No. 630 (66 FR 52917) to address the appropriate treatment of CEII in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and to restrict unrestrained general access due to the ongoing terrorism threat. These steps enable the Commission to keep sensitive infrastructure information out of the public domain, decreasing the likelihood that such information could be used to plan or execute terrorist attacks. The process adopted in Order No. 630 is a more efficient alternative for handling requests for previously public documents than FOIA The Commission has defined CEII to include information about ‘‘existing or proposed critical infrastructure that (i) relates to the production, generation, transportation, transmission, or distribution of energy; (ii) could be useful to a person planning an attack on critical infrastructure; (iii) is exempt from mandatory disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, and (iv) does not simply give the location of the critical infrastructure. Critical infrastructure means existing and proposed systems and assets, whether physical or virtual, the incapacity or destruction of which would negatively affect security, economic security, public health or safety, or any combination of those matters. A person seeking access to CEII may file a request for that information by providing information about their identity and reason as to the need for the information. Through this process, the Commission is able to review the requester’s need for the information against the sensitivity of the information. The compliance with these requirements is mandatory. Action: The Commission is requesting a three-year extension of the current expiration date, with changes to the existing collection of data. Specifically, the Commission seeks information on business references to assist in identification of the requester, and on the payment of fees for CEII requests and in particular the requester’s obligation for payment. Burden Statement: Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated as: E:\FR\FM\14FEN1.SGM 14FEN1
