security programs and associated
records available for inspection and
copying by TSA to ensure transportation
security and regulatory compliance.
The information requested of aircraft
operators has increased due to the
security measures mandated by the
Federal Government since September
11, 2001. The information TSA now
collects includes identifying
information on aircraft operators’ flight
crews, passengers and cargo.
Specifically, TSA requires aircraft
operators to submit the following
information: (1) A master crew list of all
flight and cabin crew members flying to
and from the United States; (2) the flight
crew list on a flight-by-flight basis; (3)
passenger information on a flight-byflight basis; (4) total amount of cargo
screened; and (5) total amount of cargo
screened at 100%. Aircraft operators
may provide the information
electronically or manually. Under this
regulation, aircraft operators must
ensure that flight crew members and
employees with unescorted access
authority to a Security Identification
Display Area (SIDA) or who perform
screening, checked baggage, or cargo
functions submit to and receive a
criminal history records check (CHRC).
As part of the CHRC process, the
individual must provide identifying
information, including fingerprints.
Additionally, aircraft operators must
maintain these records, and records
associated with compliance with
Security Directives, and make them
available to TSA for inspection and
copying upon request.
TSA estimates that there will be
approximately 800 respondents to the
information requirements described
above, requiring approximately
1,841,130 hours per year to process.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on January
20, 2012.

Title: National Land Remote Sensing
Education, Outreach and Research
Activity (NLRSEORA).
OMB Control Number: 1028–0085.
Abstract: The Land Remote Sensing
Education, Outreach and Research
Activity (NLRSEORA) is an effort that
involves the development of a U.S.
National consortium in building the
capability to receive, process and
archive remotely sensed data for the
purpose of providing access to
university and State organizations in a
ready to use form; and to expand the
science of remote sensing through
education, research/applications
development and outreach in areas such
as environmental monitoring, climate
change research, natural resource
management and disaster analysis.
Respondents are submitting proposals to
acquire funding for a National (U.S.)
program to promote the uses of spacebased land remote sensing data and
technologies through education and
outreach at the State and local level and
through university based and
collaborative research projects. The
information collected will ensure that
sufficient and relevant information is
available to evaluate and select a
proposal for funding. A panel of USGS
geography program managers and
scientists will review each proposal to
evaluate the technical merit,
requirements, and priorities identified
in the program’s call for proposals.
This notice concerns the collection of
information that is sufficient and
relevant to evaluate and select proposals
for funding. We will protect information
from respondents considered
proprietary under the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its
implementing regulations (43 CFR Part
2), and under regulations at 30 CFR
250.197, ‘‘Data and information to be
made available to the public or for
limited inspection.’’ Responses are
voluntary. No questions of a ‘‘sensitive’’
nature are asked. We intend to release
the project abstracts and primary
investigators for awarded/funded
projects only.
Frequency of Collection: On-occasion.
Affected Public: Non-profit
organizations.
Respondent Obligation: Voluntary
(necessary to receive benefits).
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: We expect to receive
approximately 10 proposals during the
grant application process. We anticipate
issuing 1 grant per year. The program is
open to non-profit organizations.
Estimated Number of Responses:
Approximately 10 applications and two
reports per year.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:14 Jan 25, 2012
Jkt 226001
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: We expect to receive
approximately 10 applications per year,
taking each applicant approximately 24
hours to complete, totaling 240 burden
hours. We anticipate awarding one (1)
grant per year. The grantee will be
required to submit an interim Annual
Progress Report to the designated USGS
Project Officer within 90 days of the end
of the project period and a final report
on or before 90 working days after the
expiration of the agreement. We
estimate that it will take approximately
48 hours to complete and submit both
reports.
Annual Burden Hours: 288 hours per
year.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’
Burden: We have not identified any
‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens associated
with this collection of information.
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor; and
you are not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Until OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
Comments: To comply with the
public consultation process, on October
21, 2011, we published a Federal
Register notice (76 FR 65529)
announcing our intent to submit this
information collection to OMB for
approval. In that notice we solicited
public comments for 60 days, ending on
December 20, 2011. We did not receive
any public comments in response to the
notice.
We again invite comments concerning
this information collection on:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary, including
whether or not the information will
have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information;
(3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents. Please note that the
comments submitted in response to this
notice are a matter of public record.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment, including your
personal identifying information, may
be made publicly available at any time.
