mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
access privileges and justifications.
Private entities such as outside
contractors are not provided access.
Checking applicants against the TSDB is
a central feature of the STA that TSA
conducts.
Comment: Some commenters
submitted that TSA should not base
such fees on inexact estimates of the
actual costs or the number of STAs that
will be required, and should hold the
STA fee in abeyance until TSA has
further dialogue with industry. Other
commenters recommended that TSA
wait to charge an STA fee until issuance
of the Standardized Vetting,
Adjudication, and Redress rule that TSA
is developing.
TSA Response: Under 6 U.S.C. 469,
TSA is currently required to fund
vetting and credentialing programs
through user fees. The STA fee is an
important part of TSA’s compliance
with this Congressional mandate.
Moreover, TSA does have sufficient
information to make a reasonable
estimate and has shared that
information in the 2011 rule. For these
reasons, TSA concludes that it would be
inappropriate to delay implementation
of the STA fee.
With regard to the Standardized
Vetting, Adjudication, and Redress
Services rulemaking to which the
commenter refers, TSA notes that this
initiative is still in the developmental
stages, and is not, therefore, a
reasonable basis for delaying any part of
this rulemaking.
Finally, in addition to the extensive
dialogue and industry outreach that
TSA conducted in the development of
air cargo security policy, industry has
had the opportunity to comment on this
STA fee through notice-and-comment
rulemaking.
Other STA Issues
Comment: A commenter stated that
their organization conducts Criminal
History Background Checks on all
prospective employees, and that
although these checks are not
fingerprint-based checks, they are
exhaustive. Accordingly, to avoid
duplication of time, effort, and cost, the
commenter requested that TSA accept
such background checks in lieu of
STAs.
TSA Response: TSA does not believe
that the name-based criminal check that
the commenter’s organization conducts
is comparable to the STA TSA conducts
on this population and is not sufficient
to provide the necessary level of
security needed in this industry. The
STA TSA conducts includes matching
names against the consolidated TSDB
and other Government data sources, to
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
which private entities do not have
access. These databases contain
information relating to terrorist activity,
most of which is not criminal history
information.
Comment: One commenter stated that
the TSA criminal history records check
(CHRC) provides a greater degree of
security than the STA requirements, and
that to bring congruency among the STA
requirements, TSA ought to require
CHRCs immediately for workers with
unescorted access to cargo.
TSA Response: As TSA stated in the
response to comments in the 2011
rule,12 TSA agrees that CHRCs add a
level of security to the name-based STA
requirement. TSA intends to address the
CHRC requirement in the broader
context of all TSA programs.
Comment: One commenter
appreciated TSA’s recognition that the
STAs performed under the SIDA,
Commercial Driver’s License-Hazardous
Material Endorsement, Transportation
Workers Identification Card, and Free
and Secure Trade programs have been
deemed comparable to STAs performed
under the CCSP. This commenter states
that it is not clear whether a CCSP
facility operator is relieved of the
burden to submit personal identifying
information for each individual who has
been vetted under these comparable
programs, because the CCSP is designed
on a facility-specific basis rather than an
individual enrollment basis. This
commenter believes that TSA should be
moving toward a common program
platform for security vetting programs
and should grant full reciprocity to
individuals who have been vetted
against the TSDB, no matter what
program the STA was first required
under.
TSA Response: When an individual
asserts that he or she has successfully
completed an STA comparable to the
STA required under the 2011 rule, TSA
requires that the individual present the
credential that corresponds to the
comparable STA to the operator so that
the operator may retain a copy, and that
the individual notify the operator when
the credential expires. 49 CFR
1540.203(i)(1) and (2). TSA does not
require the submission of personal
identifying information to TSA for an
individual who has been vetted under a
comparable STA.
As we understand this comment, the
commenter suggests that TSA should
implement a system for conducting and
administering STAs that is focused on
the individual rather than the employer
for which, or the facility in which, he
or she currently works. TSA may

The Self-Help Homeownership
Opportunity Program (SHOP) is
authorized by the Housing Opportunity
Program Extension Act of 1996, Section
11. The purpose of SHOP is to provide
grant funds to national and regional
non-profit organizations to facilitate and
encourage innovative homeownership
opportunities on a national,
geographically diverse basis through the
provision of self-help homeownership
housing programs. HUD uses the Line of
Credit Control System (LOCCS) to
disburse SHOP Grant funds from the
U.S. Treasury to SHOP Grantees. SHOP
Grantees use HUD’s Voice Response
System (VRS) to request a drawdown of
SHOP Grant funds from LOCCS via a
touchtone telephone. Grantees must
complete a ‘‘LOCCS/VRS Self-help
Homeownership Opportunity Program
Payment Voucher’’ prior to requesting a
drawdown of funds through LOCCS/
VRS.

40221(rev) ‘‘LOCCS/VRS Self-help
Homeownership Opportunity Program
Payment Voucher’’.
OMB Control Number: 2506–0157.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use: An
extension of the existing PRA approval
is needed to permit SHOP Grantees to

Program Payment Voucher’’ to
drawdown SHOP Grant funds through
