by the Board that contain such
information as the Board may deem
necessary or appropriate. The Board is
therefore authorized to collect
information on this form pursuant to
section 10(b) of HOLA. The obligation to
respond is mandatory, as described in
the previous paragraph. Information
contained in the FR LL–10(b) is not
considered confidential. If an SLHC
wishes to claim confidential treatment
for any information submitted on or
with the form, it would need to describe
the circumstances and provide a
justification for the withholding of the
information consistent with the
Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C.
552.
Current Actions: On June 1, 2016, the
Federal Reserve published a notice in
the Federal Register (81 FR 35015)
requesting public comment for 60 days
on the extension of the FR LL–10(b).
The comment period for this notice
expired on August 1, 2016. The Federal
Reserve did not receive any comments.
The revisions will be implemented as
proposed.
2. Report title: Notice of Proposed
Declaration of Dividend.
Agency form number: FR 1583.
OMB control number: 7100–0339.
Frequency: As needed.
Respondents: Savings and Loan
Holding Companies.
Estimated number of respondents:
133.
Estimated average hours per response:
16.5 minutes.
Estimated annual burden hours: 73.
General Description of Report:
Savings association subsidiaries of
SLHCs provide prior notice of a
dividend by filing form FR 1583 that
requires information on (1) the date of
the filing, (2) the nature and amount of
the proposed dividend declaration, and
(3) the names and signatures of the
executive officer and secretary of the
savings association that have provided
the notice. The savings association
subsidiary must file this prior notice at
least 30 days before the proposed
declaration of a dividend by its board of
directors. This notice may include a
schedule proposing dividends of over a
specified period, up to 12 months. The
statute also provides that the 30-day
period commences on the date of receipt
of the complete record of the notice by
the Federal Reserve. The Federal
Reserve Board may request additional
information or may impose conditions
for the dividend and may determine that
such dividend does not comply with the
requirements of 12 CFR part 238,
subpart K.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: The Board’s Legal
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
Division determined that FR 1583 is
authorized by section 10(f) of the Home
Owners’ Loan Act (HOLA) and section
238.103 of Regulation LL (12 CFR
238.103). Section 10(f) of the Home
Owners’ Loan Act, as amended (HOLA),
12 U.S.C. 1467a(f), provides that every
subsidiary savings association of an
SLHC shall give the Board at least 30
days’ advance notice of the proposed
declaration by its directors of any stock
dividend. The obligation to respond is
mandatory, as described in the previous
paragraph, and the Federal Reserve is
authorized to collection this information
by section 10(f) of HOLA. The FR 1583
collects information concerning the
amount of capital that an SLHC’s
subsidiary savings association intends
to distribute. Specifically, the form asks
for the name and address of the savings
association, the date of the filing, the
nature and amount of the proposed
dividend declaration, and the names
and signatures of the executive officer
and secretary of the savings association.
The information collected on the FR
1583 is generally not considered
confidential. It is possible that a savings
association or SHLC could seek
confidential treatment under FOIA
exemption 4 for the nature and amount
of the proposed dividend declaration, in
which case the institution would need
to submit a request stating that
disclosure of the specific information
would likely result in substantial harm
to its competitive position and
demonstrating the specific nature of the
harm that would result from public
release of the information. FOIA
exemption 4 covers commercial or
financial information obtained from a
person that is privileged or confidential.
The determination of whether
confidential treatment should be
granted will have be made on a case-bycase basis.
Current Actions: On June 1, 2016, the
Federal Reserve published a notice in
the Federal Register (81 FR 35015)
requesting public comment for 60 days
on the extension, with revision, of the
FR 1583. The comment period for this
notice expired on August 1, 2016. The
Federal Reserve did not receive any
comments. The revisions will be
implemented as proposed.

2017 Continental United States
(CONUS) per diem reimbursement rates.
ACTION:
The General Services
Administration’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2017
per diem reimbursement rates review
has resulted in lodging and meal
allowance changes for certain locations
within CONUS to provide for
reimbursement of Federal employees’
subsistence expenses while on official
travel.
SUMMARY:
mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES
DATES:
Effective: August 17, 2016.
Applicability: This notice applies to
travel performed on or after October 1,
2016, through September 30, 2017.

Asset and Transportation Management,
at 202–208–7642, or by email at
travelpolicy@gsa.gov. Please cite Notice
of GSA Per Diem Bulletin FTR 17–01.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The CONUS per diem
reimbursement rates prescribed in
Bulletin 17–01 may be found at
www.gsa.gov/perdiem. GSA bases the
maximum lodging allowance rates on
the average daily rate that the lodging
industry reports to an independent
organization. If a maximum lodging
allowance rate, and/or a meals and
incidental expenses (M&IE) per diem
reimbursement rate, is insufficient to
meet necessary expenses in any given
location, Federal executive agencies can
request that GSA review that location.
Please review numbers six and seven
of GSA’s per diem Frequently Asked
Questions at (www.gsa.gov/perdiemfaqs)
for more information on the special
review process. In addition, the Federal
Travel Regulation (FTR) allows for
actual expense reimbursement as
provided in §§ 301–11.300 through 301–
11.306. For FY2017, no new nonstandard area locations were added. The
standard CONUS lodging allowance rate
will increase from $89 to $91. The M&IE
reimbursement rate tiers were not
revised for FY2017. GSA issues and
publishes the CONUS per diem rates,
formerly published in Appendix A to 41
CFR Chapter 301, solely on the Internet
at www.gsa.gov/perdiem.
GSA also now solely publishes the
M&IE meal breakdown table, which is
used when employees are required to
deduct meals from their M&IE
reimbursement pursuant to FTR § 301–
11.18, at www.gsa.gov/mie. This
process, implemented in 2003 for per
diem reimbursement rates, and in 2015

for Federal employees on official travel

per diem reimbursement rates to
agencies, other than the changes posted

Background and Brief Description
Section 361 of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 264), as
amended, authorizes the Secretary of
Health and Human Services to make
and enforce such regulations as are
necessary to prevent the introduction,
transmission, or spread of
communicable diseases from foreign
countries into the States or possessions,
or from one State or possession into any
other State or possession. Part 71 of
Title 42, Code of Federal Regulations
(Foreign Quarantine) sets forth
provisions to prevent the introduction,
transmission, and spread of
communicable disease from foreign
countries into the United States.
Subpart F—Importations—contains
provisions for the importation of
infectious biological agents, infectious
substances, and vectors (42 CFR 71.54);
requiring persons that import these
materials to obtain a permit issued by
the CDC.
CDC requests Office of Management
and Budget approval to collect
information for three years using the
Application for Permit to Import
Biological Agents, Infectious Substances
and Vectors of Human Disease into the
United States and Application for a
Permit to Import or Transport Live Bats.
We are also requesting a title change to
read—Application for Permit to Import
Infectious Biological Agents into the
United States.
The Application for Permit to Import
Biological Agents, Infectious Substances
and Vectors of Human Disease into the
United States form is used by laboratory
facilities, such as those operated by
government agencies, universities, and
research institutions to request a permit
for the importation of biological agents,
infectious substances, or vectors of
human disease. This form currently
