Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 10 / Wednesday, January 15, 2014 / Notices
Administration (TSA) has forwarded the
Information Collection Request (ICR),
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number 1652–0042,
abstracted below to OMB for review and
approval of an extension of the
currently approved collection under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The
ICR describes the nature of the
information collection and its expected
burden. TSA published a Federal
Register notice, with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments, of the
following collection of information on
August 16, 2013, 78 FR 50076. A
correction has been made in this notice
to the number of burden hours per
respondent from 1 to 2.7 hours. The
increase in burden hours is based on
historical data collected over the past
three years. The collection involves TSA
determining whether the party or
representative of a party seeking access
to sensitive security information (SSI) in
a civil proceeding in federal court, or a
prospective bidder seeking access to SSI
for the purpose of perfecting a proposal
in response to a TSA request for
proposal, may be granted access to the
SSI.
DATES: Send your comments by
February 14, 2014. A comment to OMB
is most effective if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, OMB. Comments should be
addressed to Desk Officer, Department
of Homeland Security/TSA, and sent via
electronic mail to oira_submission@
omb.eop.gov or faxed to (202) 395–6974.

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
Title: Sensitive Security Information
Threat Assessments.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0042.
Forms(s): TSA 2211.
Affected Public: Individuals seeking
access to SSI Information.
Abstract: TSA has implemented
section 525 of the DHS Appropriations
Act, 2007, Public Law 109–925, see
525(d) (October 4, 2006), as reenacted,1
by establishing a process whereby a
party seeking access to SSI in a civil
proceeding in federal court that
demonstrates a substantial need for
relevant SSI in preparation of the party’s
case may request that the party
representative or court reporter be
granted access to the SSI. Under section
114 of the Aviation and Transportation
Security Act, Pub. L. 107–71 (November
19, 2001), and 49 CFR 1520.11(c), TSA
may make an individual’s access to SSI
contingent upon satisfactory completion
of a security background check or other
procedures and requirements for
safeguarding SSI that are satisfactory to
TSA, and TSA uses the same process for
a prospective bidder who is seeking
access to SSI to submit a proposal in
response to a request for proposal by
TSA. The prospective bidder may
request certain SSI to perfect their bid.
In order to determine if the individual
may be granted access to SSI for these
purposes, TSA conducts a criminal
history records check (CHRC),
professional responsibility check, and
threat assessment. Individuals are
required to submit information
including identifying information and
an explanation supporting the
individual’s need for the information.
Number of Respondents: 127
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 343 hours annually.
Dated: January 10, 2014.

TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Office
of Information Technology.

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 2013–25, the IRS
determined the rates of interest for the
calendar quarter beginning January 1,
2014, and ending on March 31, 2014.
The interest rate paid to the Treasury for
underpayments will be the Federal
short-term rate (1%) plus two
percentage points (2%) for a total of
three percent (3%) for both corporations
and non-corporations. For corporate
overpayments, the rate is the Federal
short-term rate (1%) plus one
percentage point (1%) for a total of two
percent (2%). For overpayments made
by non-corporations, the rate is the
Federal short-term rate (1%) plus two
percentage points (2%) for a total of
three percent (3%). These interest rates
are subject to change for the calendar
quarter beginning April 1, 2014, and
ending June 30, 2014.
For the convenience of the importing
public and U.S. 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,
