Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and approval of the following

necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;

    (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

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,

    Abstract: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Canine

Center (CTC) Adoption Program in accordance with 41 CFR 102-36.35(d) 
(donation of surplus property) and 102-36.365 (donation of canines used 
for performance of law enforcement duties). The TSA Canine Program 
developed the TSA CTC to train and deploy explosive detection canine 
teams to Federal, State, and local agencies in support of daily 
activities that protect the transportation domain. TSA created the TSA 
CTC Adoption Program to find suitable individuals or families to adopt 
and provide good homes to canines who do not graduate from the training 
program. Individuals seeking to adopt a TSA canine must complete the 
TSA CTC Adoption Application. This collection of information allows the 
TSA CTC to collect personal information from the applicants to 
determine their suitability to adopt a TSA canine.
    Number of Respondents: 300.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 50 hours annually.
