If a driver finds inaccurate information pertaining to ELDT Certification Information in the TPR, or inaccurate information was transmitted to the SDLA, drivers must contact the training provider that conducted the training to request that corrections be submitted to the TRP as appropriate. Once the corrections have been made, the training provider should resubmit the Training Certification Information form to the TPR, noting the corrections made. Upon receipt of the updated certification, the TPR will automatically retain a record of the information. In the event the driver-trainee wishes to obtain the revised training certification information, they will need to contact the training provider that conducted the training. If a training provider discovers that information contained in the TPR is inaccurate, the training provider may make corrections by accessing their TPR account on the TPR and submitting an updated Training Provider Registration form (OMB Control number 2126–0028). Individuals seeking to contest the content of any record pertaining to him or her in this system may also contact the System Manager following the Privacy Act procedures in 49 CFR part 10, subpart E, Correction of Records. Written requests for correction must conform with the Privacy Act regulations set forth in 49 CFR part 10.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Reporting, Procedures and Penalties Regulations. OMB Control Number: 1505–0164. Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved collection. Description: The collections of information are contained in sections 501.601 through 501.605, 501.801, and 501.805 through 501.807 of the Office of Foreign Assets Control’s (OFAC) Reporting, Procedures and Penalties Regulations, 31 CFR part 501 (the ‘‘Regulations’’), and certain other parts, and pertain to the operation of various economic sanctions programs administered by OFAC under 31 CFR chapter V. Section 501.601 addresses the maintenance of records and § 501.602 relates to OFAC demands for information relative to any transaction or property subject to the provisions of 31 CFR chapter V. Section 501.603 imposes reporting requirements pertaining to blocked property and retained funds, as well as property that is released from blocked status SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00154 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (unblocked property). This information is required by OFAC to monitor compliance with regulatory requirements, to support diplomatic negotiations concerning the targets of sanctions, and to support settlement negotiations addressing U.S. claims. Section 501.604 requires the filing of reports for compliance purposes by U.S. persons where a transaction is not required to be blocked but where processing or otherwise engaging in the transaction would nonetheless violate, or facilitate a transaction that is prohibited under, other provisions in 31 CFR chapter V. Section 501.605 requires reporting of information pertaining to litigation, arbitration, and other binding alternative dispute resolution proceedings in the United States to prevent the intentional or inadvertent transfer through such proceedings of blocked property or retained funds. Sections 501.801 and 501.805 relate, respectively, to license requests and records requests. Section 501.806 sets forth the procedures to be followed by a person seeking to have funds unblocked at a financial institution if the person believes that the funds were blocked due to mistaken identity. Section 501.807 sets forth the procedures to be followed by a person seeking administrative reconsideration of a designation or that of a vessel as blocked, or who wishes to assert that the circumstances resulting in the designation or blocking no longer apply. Forms: OFAC requires the submission of the Annual Report of Blocked Property (ARBP) through approved form: TD–F 90–22.50. OFAC also maintains voluntary forms for submission of certain other information required as a part of the information collections covered by this notice including the following approved forms: Report on Blocked Property—Financial, TD–F 93.02; Report on Blocked Property—Tangible/Real/Other NonFinancial Property, TD–F 93.08; Report on Rejected Transaction, TD–F 93.07; TSRA License Application, TD–F 93.04; and Licensing Cover Sheet, TD–F 98– 22.61. Any other information collections covered by this notice do not have mandatory or voluntary forms. The reports covered by this information collection will be reviewed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and may be used for compliance, civil penalty, and enforcement purposes by the agency. Affected Public: Financial institutions, business organizations, individuals, and legal representatives. Estimated Number of Respondents: OFAC’s estimate for the number of unique reporting respondents is E:\FR\FM\28JNN1.SGM 28JNN1 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 121 / Monday, June 28, 2021 / Notices approximately 5,600. The significant decrease in the number of unique respondents since OFAC’s last information collection submission regarding the Regulations in 2019 is due to OFAC’s increased use of technology, which has enabled it to consolidate multiple filers within a single institution under one unique identification number assigned to the institution for all reports submitted to OFAC. Previously, OFAC did not have the ability to easily ascertain the number of unique respondents due to different identification numbers being selected for reports filed by different individuals within the same institution, or different branches or offices of the same institution. This inability to uniquely identify all reports associated with one institution led to counting numerous filers that were all associated with the same institution instead of counting the institutions themselves as unique respondents, resulting in an inflated number of respondents in past information collection submissions. OFAC is now adjusting its number of unique reporting respondents based on its more accurate data set. Frequency of Response: The estimated annual frequency of responses is between 1 and 4,641, varying greatly by entity depending on the size, nature, and scope of business activities of each respondent, with the majority of filers providing a small number of responses and a small number of filers submitting a higher number of responses. Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 30,051. Estimated Time per Response: OFAC assesses that there is an average time estimate for reports associated with forms ranging from 15 minutes to 2 hours and for reports associated with general licenses and other miscellaneous reports ranging from 30 minutes to 5 hours. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 13,160 hours. Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Dated: June 22, 2021. Molly Stasko, Treasury PRA Clearance Officer.
