SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Telecommunications Service Priority
(TSP) is authorized by E.O. 12472, E.O.
13618 and 47 CFR part 64. The DHS
Office of Emergency Communications
(OEC) uses the TSP Program to
authorize national security and
emergency preparedness organizations
to receive priority treatment for vital
voice and data circuits or other
telecommunications service, under
National Security or Emergency
Preparedness telecommunications (NS/
EP). The TSP Program provides service

vendors a Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) mandate to prioritize
requests by identifying those services
critical to national security and
emergency preparedness. A TSP
assignment ensures that it will receive
priority attention by the service vendor
before any non-TSP service.
Four broad categories serve as
guidelines for determining whether a
circuit or telecommunications service is
eligible for priority provisioning or
restoration. TSP service user
organizations may be in the Federal,
State, local, or tribal government,
critical infrastructure sectors in
industry, non-profit organizations that
perform critical NS/EP functions, or
foreign governments. Typical TSP
service users are responsible for the
command and control functions critical
to management of and response to NS/
EP situations, particularly during the
first 24 to 72 hours following an event.
Information to request a priority, to
obtain a sponsor for requesting a
priority, and for other administrative
requirements of the program is required
from any person or organization having
an NS/EP service for which they wish
priority restoration from the vendor
providing the service. Information is
also required to allow immediate
installation of a new service to support
NS/EP requirements. Information is
required from vendors to allow the OEC
to track and identify the
telecommunications services that are
being provided priority treatment.
The forms used are the SF314
(Revalidation for Service Users), SF315
(TSP Request for Service Users), SF317
(TSP Action Appeal for Service Users),
SF318 (TSP Service Confirmation for
Service Vendors), and the SF319 (TSP
Service Reconciliation for Service
Vendors). The SF314 is for users to
request that their existing TSP codes be
revalidated for three more years. The
SF315 is used to request restoration
and/or provisioning for an
organization’s critical circuits. The
SF317 is for organizations to appeal the
denial of TSP restoration and/or
provisioning. The SF318 is for service
vendors to provide circuit ID
information associated with TSP codes
they’ve been given by their customers.
The SF319 is for service vendors to
provide data to the program office in
order to reconcile their TSP data with
the TSP database. Participants request
TSP priorities via email in order to
reduce the use of the paper forms. The
paper forms will also be available for
download via the TSP home page.
There have been no changes to the
information being collected. The burden
for the SF315 Form has increased due

to better estimates, and the annual cost
burden to respondents and annual
government cost has increased due to
increased wage rates and compensation
factors.
This is a renewal of an information
collection.
OMB is particularly interested in
comments that:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information 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 of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
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 through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

SUMMARY:
daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
Background
Section 604 of the Manufactured
Housing Improvement Act of 2000 (Pub.
L. 106–569) amended the National
Manufactured Housing Construction
and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42
U.S.C. 5401–5426) (Act) to require the
establishment of the MHCC, a federal
advisory committee, to: (1) Provide
periodic recommendations to the
Secretary to adopt, revise, and interpret
the manufactured housing construction
and safety standards; and (2) to provide
periodic recommendations to the
Secretary to adopt, revise, and interpret
the procedural and enforcement
manufactured housing regulations,
including regulations specifying the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
permissible scope and conduct of
monitoring. The Act authorizes the
Secretary to appoint a total of twentytwo members to the MHCC. Twenty-one
members have voting rights; the twentysecond member represents the Secretary
and is a non-voting position. Service on
the MHCC is voluntary. Travel and per
diem for meetings is provided in
accordance with federal travel policy
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 5703.
HUD seeks highly qualified and
motivated individuals who meet the
requirements set forth in the Act to
serve as voting members of the MHCC
for up to two terms of three years. The
MHCC expects to meet at least one to
two times annually. Meetings may take
place by conference call or in person.
Members of the MHCC undertake
additional work commitments on
subcommittees and task forces regarding
issues under deliberation.
Nominee Selection and Appointment
Members of the Consensus Committee
are appointed to serve in one of three
member categories. Nominees will be
appointed to fill voting member
vacancies in the following categories:
1. Producers—Seven producers or
retailers of manufactured housing.
2. Users—Seven persons representing
consumer interests, such as consumer
organizations, recognized consumer
leaders, and owners who are residents
of manufactured homes.
3. General Interest and Public
Officials—Seven general interest and
public official members.
The Act provides that the Secretary
shall ensure that all interests directly
and materially affected by the work of
the MHCC have the opportunity for fair
and equitable participation without
dominance by any single interest; and
may reject the appointment of any one
or more individuals in order to ensure
that there is not dominance by any
single interest. For purposes of this
determination, dominance is defined as
a position or exercise of dominant
authority, leadership, or influence by
reason of superior leverage, strength, or
representation.
Additional requirements governing
appointment and member service
include:
(1) Nominees appointed to the User
category, and three of the individuals
appointed to the General Interest and
Public Official category shall not have a
significant financial interest in any
segment of the manufactured housing
industry; or a significant relationship to
any person engaged in the manufactured
housing industry.
(2) Each member serving in the User
category shall be subject to a ban
PO 00000
Frm 00127

disallowing compensation from the
manufactured housing industry during
the period of, and during the one year
following, his or her membership on the
MHCC.
(3) Nominees selected for
appointment to the MHCC shall be
required to provide disclosures and
certifications regarding conflict-ofinterest and eligibility for membership
prior to finalizing an appointment.
All selected nominees will be
required to submit certifications of
eligibility under the foregoing criteria as
a prerequisite to final appointment.
Consensus Committee—Advisory Role
The MHCC’s role is to solely advise
the Secretary on the subject matter
described above.
Federal Advisory Committee Act
The MHCC is subject to the
requirements of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (5 U.S.C. Appendix), 41
CFR parts 101–6 and 102–3 (the FACA
Final Rule), and to the Presidential
Memorandum, dated June 18, 2010,
directing all heads of executive
departments and agencies not to make
any new appointments or
reappointments of federally registered
lobbyists to advisory committees and
other boards and commissions. The June
18, 2010, Presidential Memorandum
authorized the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to issue
guidance to implement this policy. On
August 13, 2014 (79 FR 47482), OMB
issued guidance regarding the
prohibition against appointing or reappointing federally registered lobbyists
to clarify that the ban applies to persons
serving on advisory committees, boards,
and commissions in their individual
capacity and does not apply if they are
specifically appointed to represent the
interests of a nongovernmental entity, a
recognizable group of persons or
nongovernmental entities (an industry
sector, labor unions, environmental
groups, etc.), or state or local
governments.
Term of Office
Consensus Committee members serve
at the discretion of the Secretary or for
a three-year term and for up to two
terms.
Nominee Information
Individuals seeking nomination to the
MHCC should submit detailed
information documenting their
qualifications as addressed in the Act
and this Notice. Individuals may
