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 https://www.reginfo.gov.
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
Purpose and Description of Data
Collection
The National Explosives Detection
Canine Team Program (NEDCTP) is a
partnership between TSA, airports, and
local law enforcement. The NEDCTP
supports TSA’s mission by preparing
law enforcement canine-handlers, who
are not Federal employees, and canines

Jkt 217001
to serve on the front lines of America’s
War on Terror. These canine teams
(handler and canine) are trained to
quickly locate and identify dangerous
materials that may present a threat to
transportation systems.
For this purpose, TSA collects the
information pursuant to Public Law
104–264, Federal Aviation
Reauthorization Act of 1996; Public Law
107–296, Homeland Security Act of
2002; and Public Law 107–71, Aviation
and Transportation Security Act. TSA
electronically collects and stores the
Social Security number, credit card
number, name, employment information
(that is, airport ID and canine unit), and
office phone and fax numbers of all
canine handlers who apply to
participate in the program. This
information collection is crucial, as it is
utilized to set up training, travel, and
create a unique profile for each handler
that allows them access into the Canine
Web Site (CWS). The CWS is a Webbased application that serves as the
collaboration tool for TSA and canine
handlers across the Nation. The CWS
serves as the main source of information
for all NEDCTP records and operations.
From the CWS, canine handlers,
supervisors, and trainers can access
helpful information pertinent to canine
training, travel to training,
reimbursement, message forums, user
profiles (containing a limited amount of
personal information, profiles of dogs,
teams, and agencies), help desk
messages, calendar data, equipment
inventory, training aid inventory,
training exercises, and daily utilization
of canine teams. Without access to the
CWS, canine handlers will not be able
to perform their jobs or receive proper
guidance and support from TSA.
Use of Results
TSA uses the information collected to
arrange the handler’s travel for training,
and later on, to allow the handler access
to the CWS. Once travel has been
arranged, TSA uses the stored
information to create a unique profile
for each handler, which in turn allows
for the issuing of a unique login
credential into the CWS. The stored data
is viewable only by the individual and
their local law enforcement agency
canine unit supervisor (a non-TSA
employee) and authorized TSA
personnel responsible for administering
the program. The annual burden
estimate is approximately 14 hours.

This Notice also lists the following
information:
Title of Proposal: Application for
Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard
Control Grant Programs and Quality
Addurance Plans.
OMB Control Number, if Applicable:
2539–0015.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use: This
information is required in conjunction
with the issuance of Notices of Funding
Availability for approximately
$180,000,000 for Healthy Homes and
Lead Hazard Control Programs that are
authorized under Title X of the Housing
and Community Development Act of
1992, Public Law 102–550, Section
1011, the Housing and Urban
Development Act of 1970, Sections 501
and 502, and other legislation.
After the award of grants, HUD’s
Office of Healthy Homes and Lead
Hazard Control requires its Healthy
Homes Demonstration, Healthy Homes
Technical Studies grantees, and Lead
Technical Studies grantees which are
conducting research or significant
evaluation activities, to submit a Quality
Assurance Plan (QAP) to the Office for
approval before they initiate data
collection. This requirement also
applies to Office of Healthy Homes and
Lead Hazard Control contractors who
conduct such research or evaluation
activities. This requirement was
established because quality assurance
procedures ensure the accuracy and
validity of data. The use of quality
assurance plan templates helps to
ensure that quality assurance activities
are well planned and thorough, and
standardizes the formatting of plans,
which aides both the respondents in
plan development and HUD staff in
their review. The use of different
templates for technical studies and
demonstration projects was designed to
reduce respondent burden by requiring
more detailed information only for the
technical studies (research) projects,
consistent with their more rigorous
quality assurance requirements.
