Any associated form(s) for this collection may be located within this same electronic docket and downloaded for review/testing. Follow the instructions at https:// www.regulations.gov for submitting comments. Please submit comments on any given form identified by docket number, form number, and title. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on this proposed information collection or to obtain a copy of the proposal and associated collection instruments, please write to the Defense Forensics and Biometrics Agency (DFBA), ATTN: Plans and Policy Division Chief, 2800 Army Pentagon, Washington, DC 20310–2800, or call (703) 571–0506. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title; Associated Form; And Omb Number: Defense Biometric Identification Records System; OMB Control Number 0702–XXXX. Needs And Uses: The information collection requirement for the Defense Biometric Identification Records System (IT System name DoD Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS)/ Biometric Enabling Capability (BEC)) is necessary to support the DoD, FBI, DHS, other government agencies, and approved international partners for intelligence, force protection, national security, and law enforcement purposes. Affected Public: Federal Government, Individuals or households. Annual Burden Hours: 208,000 (964,018 since system creation). Number of Respondents: 11,568,220 (total records in the system). Responses per Respondent: 1. Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes. Frequency: On occasion. The DoD ABIS matches and stores biometric data collected by global U.S. forces during the course of military operations. Data may also be collected for use in field identification and recovery of persons, or their physical remains, who have been captured, VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:42 Apr 07, 2014 Jkt 232001 detained, missing, prisoners of war (POW), or personnel recovered from hostile control. Records in the system pertain to military operations conducted by all Combatant Commands (COCOMs) across the globe. Individuals covered include members of the U.S. Armed Forces; Department of Defense (DoD) civilian and contractor personnel; military reserve, Army and Air National Guard personnel; and other individuals requesting access to U.S. installations and facilities. DoD has used the information collected and processed to the Terrorist Screening Center to place individuals on National Watchlists. Without this collection, matching, and sharing of biometric and associate contextual information there would be grave implications to National Security and security of our forces deployed abroad.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Issues on Which DOE Seeks Comment

    In order to gather information on the physical characterization of 
smart and grid-connected commercial and residential buildings equipment 
and appliances, DOE is holding a public meeting on April 30, 2014 at 
DOE's NREL South Table Mountain Campus in Golden, Colorado. The agenda 
is expected to include the following discussion items:
     Examples of physical characterization of smart and grid-
connected buildings equipment;
     Potential national value and benefits, and stakeholder 
value propositions, of smart and grid-connected buildings equipment;
     Candidate metrics to characterize smart and grid-connected 
buildings equipment;
     Potential frameworks for the characterization process;
     Other topics related to smart and grid-connected equipment 
that DOE should consider;
     Public input on key stakeholders DOE should engage; and
     Public input to identify reports, analyses, and case 
studies of which DOE should be aware.
    Grid connected water heaters are subject to an ongoing rulemaking 
proceeding and will not be discussed at the meeting.
    Note that agenda items may change without notice. The final agenda 
will be posted on the DOE Web site at: https://energy.gov/eere/buildings/buildings-grid-integration.
