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.
Consistent with the requirements of
Executive Order (E.O.) 13771, Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs, and E.O. 13777, Enforcing the
Regulatory Reform Agenda, TSA is also
requesting comments on the extent to
which this request for information could
be modified to reduce the burden on
respondents.
Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652–0034; Law
Enforcement Officer Flying Armed
Training. TSA is requesting approval for
the extension of the collection of this
information to comply with 49 CFR
1544.219, which requires Federal LEOs,
full-time territorial, tribal, municipal,
county or state LEOs who are direct
employees of government agencies, and
authorized railroad police officers to
complete the LEOs Flying Armed
training course in order to fly armed.
The course is a non-tactical overview of
the conditions under which an officer
may fly armed and the required conduct
and duties of the LEO while flying
armed. This collection permits TSA to
collect identifying information from law
enforcement agencies requesting the
LEO Flying Armed training course
materials.
The process begins when a
representative from a law enforcement
agency electronically requests the LEO
Flying Armed training course material
via the TSA Flying While Armed
website (https://www.tsa.gov/travel/lawenforcement). The fillable form, which
is submitted to TSA electronically, must
contain: full name of the officer, title,
phone number, email address,
employing department, work address,
supervisor’s name, supervisor’s title,
supervisor’s contact information, the
agency’s originating agency identifier
(ORI), an affirmation that the officer/
agency meets the requirements set forth
in 49 CFR 1544.219, and a brief
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
narrative detailing the agency’s
operational need to fly armed. Once the
fillable form is completed, TSA, through
its Office of Training and Development
(OTD), receives a notification via email.
OTD vets the request to ensure that all
of the required information has been
submitted and that the agency has a
current operational need to fly armed. If
OTD determines that the requesting
agency meets the standard set forth in
49 CFR 1544.219, they electronically
send a non-disclosure agreement (NDA)
to the requesting agency. Once OTD
receives the signed NDA, they will
electronically send the LEO Flying
Armed training course materials to the
requesting agency. OTD keeps an
electronic record of each agency that
they have sent LEO Flying Armed
training course material to, including a
point of contact (POC) for that agency.
If an issue arises during the screening
and verification process regarding the
authenticity of an agency that requests
training materials, no training materials
will be supplied until that issue has
either been confirmed or resolved, and
a record of such is maintained.
Upon completion of the training, the
LEO who has been authorized by his or
her agency to fly armed presents his or
her credentials and other required
documentation at the airport in order to
fly armed. A Transportation Security
Officer verifies all pertinent information
onsite. Based on current data, TSA
estimates there are approximately 2,000
respondents on an annual basis. At
most, each agency spends
approximately 5 minutes to provide the
information TSA needs to confirm the
law enforcement agencies are eligible to
receive the training. This amounts to
2000 agencies multiplied by 5 minutes
equals 166.6 hours (2000 agencies × 5
min = 10,000 min [166.6 hrs.]) for a total
annual hour burden of 167 hours.

This Notice announces
changes in the interest rates to be paid
on debentures issued with respect to a
loan or mortgage insured by the Federal
Housing Administration under the

(the Act). The interest rate for
debentures issued under Section
221(g)(4) of the Act during the 6-month
period beginning January 1, 2018, is 2
3⁄8 percent. The interest rate for
debentures issued under any other
provision of the Act is the rate in effect
on the date that the commitment to
insure the loan or mortgage was issued,
or the date that the loan or mortgage was
endorsed (or initially endorsed if there
are two or more endorsements) for
insurance, whichever rate is higher. The
interest rate for debentures issued under
these other provisions with respect to a
loan or mortgage committed or endorsed

Section
224 of the National Housing Act (12

issued under the Act with respect to an
insured loan or mortgage (except for
debentures issued pursuant to Section
221(g)(4) of the Act) will bear interest at
the rate in effect on the date the
commitment to insure the loan or
mortgage was issued, or the date the
loan or mortgage was endorsed (or
initially endorsed if there are two or
more endorsements) for insurance,
whichever rate is higher. This provision
is implemented in HUD’s regulations at
24 CFR 203.405, 203.479, 207.259(e)(6),
and 220.830. These regulatory
provisions state that the applicable rates
of interest will be published twice each
year as a notice in the Federal Register.
Section 224 further provides that the
interest rate on these debentures will be
set from time to time by the Secretary
of HUD, with the approval of the
Secretary of the Treasury, in an amount
not in excess of the annual interest rate
determined by the Secretary of the
Treasury pursuant to a statutory formula
based on the average yield of all
outstanding marketable Treasury
obligations of maturities of 15 or more
years.

Section 215 of Division G, Title II of
Public Law 108–199, enacted January
23, 2004 (HUD’s 2004 Appropriations
Act) amended Section 224 of the Act, to
change the debenture interest rate for
purposes of calculating certain
insurance claim payments made in cash.
Therefore, for all claims paid in cash on
mortgages insured under Section 203 or
234 of the National Housing Act and
endorsed for insurance after January 23,
2004, the debenture interest rate will be
the monthly average yield, for the
month in which the default on the
mortgage occurred, on United States
Treasury Securities adjusted to a
constant maturity of 10 years, as found
in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H–
15. The Federal Housing Administration
has codified this provision in HUD
regulations at 24 CFR 203.405(b) and 24
CFR 203.479(b).
Section 221(g)(4) of the Act provides
that debentures issued pursuant to that
paragraph (with respect to the
assignment of an insured mortgage to
the Secretary) will bear interest at the
‘‘going Federal rate’’ in effect at the time
the debentures are issued. The term
‘‘going Federal rate’’ is defined to mean
the interest rate that the Secretary of the
Treasury determines, pursuant to a
statutory formula based on the average
yield on all outstanding marketable
Treasury obligations of 8- to 12-year
maturities, for the 6-month periods of
January through June and July through
December of each year. Section 221(g)(4)
is implemented in the HUD regulations
at 24 CFR 221.255 and 24 CFR 221.790.

Housing Act (the Act). The interest rate for debentures issued under
Section 221(g)(4) of the Act during the 6-month period beginning
January 1, 2018, is 2 \3/8\ percent. The interest rate for debentures
issued under any other provision of the Act is the rate in effect on
the date that the commitment to insure the loan or mortgage was issued,
or the date that the loan or mortgage was endorsed (or initially
endorsed if there are two or more endorsements) for insurance,

these other provisions with respect to a loan or mortgage committed or
endorsed during the 6-month period beginning January 1, 2018, is 2\3/4\
percent.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 224 of the National Housing Act (12
U.S.C. 1715o) provides that debentures issued under the Act with
respect to an insured loan or mortgage (except for debentures issued
pursuant to Section 221(g)(4) of the Act) will bear interest at the
rate in effect on the date the commitment to insure the loan or
mortgage was issued, or the date the loan or mortgage was endorsed (or
initially endorsed if there are two or more endorsements) for
insurance, whichever rate is higher. This provision is implemented in
HUD's regulations at 24 CFR 203.405, 203.479, 207.259(e)(6), and
220.830. These regulatory provisions state that the applicable rates of
interest will be published twice each year as a notice in the Federal
Register.
Section 224 further provides that the interest rate on these
debentures will be set from time to time by the Secretary of HUD, with
the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, in an amount not in
excess of the annual interest rate determined by the Secretary of the
Treasury pursuant to a statutory formula based on the average yield of
all outstanding marketable Treasury obligations of maturities of 15 or
more years.
[[Page 3364]]
The Secretary of the Treasury (1) has determined, in accordance
with the provisions of Section 224, that the statutory maximum interest
rate for the period beginning January 1, 2018, is 2\3/4\ percent; and
(2) has approved the establishment of the debenture interest rate by
the Secretary of HUD at 2\3/4\ percent for the 6-month period beginning
January 1, 2018. This interest rate will be the rate borne by
debentures issued with respect to any insured loan or mortgage (except
for debentures issued pursuant to Section 221(g)(4)) with insurance
commitment or endorsement date (as applicable) within the first 6
months of 2018.

Section 215 of Division G, Title II of Public Law 108-199, enacted
January 23, 2004 (HUD's 2004 Appropriations Act) amended Section 224 of
the Act, to change the debenture interest rate for purposes of
calculating certain insurance claim payments made in cash. Therefore,
for all claims paid in cash on mortgages insured under Section 203 or
234 of the National Housing Act and endorsed for insurance after
January 23, 2004, the debenture interest rate will be the monthly
average yield, for the month in which the default on the mortgage
occurred, on United States Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant
maturity of 10 years, as found in Federal Reserve Statistical Release
H-15. The Federal Housing Administration has codified this provision in
HUD regulations at 24 CFR 203.405(b) and 24 CFR 203.479(b).
Section 221(g)(4) of the Act provides that debentures issued
pursuant to that paragraph (with respect to the assignment of an
insured mortgage to the Secretary) will bear interest at the ``going
Federal rate'' in effect at the time the debentures are issued. The
term ``going Federal rate'' is defined to mean the interest rate that
the Secretary of the Treasury determines, pursuant to a statutory
formula based on the average yield on all outstanding marketable
Treasury obligations of 8- to 12-year maturities, for the 6-month
periods of January through June and July through December of each year.
Section 221(g)(4) is implemented in the HUD regulations at 24 CFR
221.255 and 24 CFR 221.790.
The Secretary of the Treasury has determined that the interest rate
to be borne by debentures issued pursuant to Section 221(g)(4) during
the 6-month period beginning January 1, 2018, is 2\3/8\ percent.
The subject matter of this notice falls within the categorical
exemption from HUD's environmental clearance procedures set forth in 24
CFR 50.19(c)(6). For that reason, no environmental finding has been
prepared for this notice.
(Authority: Sections 211, 221, 224, National Housing Act, 12 U.S.C.
1715b, 1715l, 1715o; Section 7(d), Department of HUD Act, 42 U.S.C.
3535(d).)
Dated: January 18, 2018.
Dana T. Wade,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Housing.
