State agencies conducting or assisting
with necessary background and
immigration checks for certain
employees. The purpose of the namebased and fingerprint based CHRC
requirement is to ensure the suitability
and trustworthiness of individuals who
have the ability to affect the identity
information that appears on the license;
have access to the production process;
or who are involved in the manufacture
or issuance of the licenses and
identification cards.
In compliance with GPEA, States will
be permitted to electronically submit
the information for their security plans,
certification packages, recertifications,
extensions, and written exceptions
processes. States will be permitted to
submit electronic signatures but must
keep the original signature on file.
Additionally, because they contain
sensitive security information (SSI), the
security plans must be handled and
protected in accordance with 49 CFR
part 1520. 6 CFR 37.41(c). The final rule
does not dictate how States must submit
their employees’ fingerprints to the FBI
for background checks; however it is
assumed States will do so via electronic
means or another means determined by
the FBI.
This information will be collected
directly from the States to assist DHS in
making REAL ID compliance
determinations and is not otherwise
available.
The information collection discussed
in this analysis applies to states, state
agencies, and certain employees
involved in the card production process.
Therefore, it is DHS’s belief that the
information collection does not have a
significant impact on a substantial
number of small businesses.
In accordance with the regulations,
submission of certification materials
and security plans will assist DHS in
determining full compliance. DHS may
also review documents, audit processes,
and conduct inspections. Failure to
make a compliance determination
would prevent state-issued licenses and
identification cards from being used for
official purposes, which includes
boarding commercial aircraft and
accessing federal facilities. Additional
requirements for recordkeeping,
document retention and storage, as well
as background checks for certain
employees help to ensure the integrity
of the card production and issuance
process and will assist DHS during
audits or inspections of a state’s
processes.
Information provided will be
protected from disclosure to the extent
appropriate under applicable provisions
of the Freedom of Information Act, the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
Privacy Act of 1974, the Driver’s Privacy
Protection Act, as well as DHS’s Privacy
Impact Assessment for the REAL ID Act.
There has been no program changes or
new requirements established as a result
of this collection request.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
The Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.), prohibits certain activities with
endangered and threatened species
unless authorized by a Federal permit.
The ESA and our implementing
regulations in part 17 of title 50 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
provide for the issuance of such permits
and require that we invite public
comment before issuing permits for
activities involving endangered species.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct
activities with endangered species for
scientific purposes that promote
recovery or for enhancement of
propagation or survival of the species.
Our regulations implementing section
10(a)(1)(A) for these permits are found
at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered wildlife
species, 50 CFR 17.32 for threatened
wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.62 for
endangered plant species, and 50 CFR
17.72 for threatened plant species.
