Information Collection Requirement Transportation Security Administration, DHS. ACTION: 60-Day notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its expected burden. This collection involves the submission of information from certain current and former TSA employees who are interested in a Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2004 (LEOSA) Identification (ID) Card, a retired badge, and/or a retired credential. LEOSA OMB Control Number 1652–0071; Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act and Retired Badge/Credential. Under 18 U.S.C. 926C, which codifies a portion of LEOSA,1 a ‘‘qualified retired law 1 Public Law 108–277, 118 Stat. 865, July 22, 2004, codified in 18 U.S.C. 926B and 926C, as amended by the Law Enforcement Officers Safety PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 1773 enforcement officer’’ may carry a concealed firearm in any jurisdiction in the United States, regardless of State or local laws, with certain limitations and conditions. In accordance with LEOSA, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued DHS Directive and Instruction Manual 257–01, Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (Nov. 5, 2009). DHS Directive 257–01 requires DHS components to implement the provisions of LEOSA pertaining to qualified retired Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) as cost-effectively and efficiently as possible consistent with the requirements and intent of the statute for LEOs formerly employed by DHS and predecessor agencies. TSA subsequently issued TSA Management Directive (MD) 3500.1, LEOSA Applicability and Eligibility (Oct. 7, 2001), to implement the LEOSA statute and DHS directive. Under this MD, TSA issues photographic identification to retired LEOs who separated or retired from TSA in ‘‘good standing’’ and meet other qualification requirements identified in this MD. Retired Badge/Credential Under TSA MD 2800.11, Badge and Credential Program, a TSA employee retiring from Federal service is eligible to receive a ‘‘retired badge and/or credential’’ if the individual: (1) Was issued a badge and/or credential, (2) qualifies for a Federal annuity under the Civil Service Retirement System or the Federal Employees Retirement System, and (3) meets all of the other qualification requirements under the MD.2 If the employee is approved for a retired badge and/or credential, his or her badge and/or credential will be replicated by TSA and marked with the word ‘‘RETIRED,’’ to indicate that the retired employee no longer has the authority to perform specific official functions pursuant to law, statute, regulation, or DHS Directive. In the case of a retired LEO, the individual is prohibited from using the TSA retired credential as photographic identification for the purposes of the LEOSA. Purpose and Description of Data Collection Under TSA’s current application process for these two programs, Act Improvements Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–272, 124 Stat. 2855; Oct. 12, 2010) and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Pub. L. 112–239, 126 Stat. 1970; Jan. 2, 2013). 2 These instructions are included in DHS Instruction: 121–01–002 (Issuance and Control of DHS Badges); DHS Instruction 121–01–008 (Issuance and Control of the DHS Credentials); and the associated Handbook for TSA MD 2800.11. E:\FR\FM\12JAN1.SGM 12JAN1 1774 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 12, 2022 / Notices qualified applicants may apply for a LEOSA ID Card, a Retired Badge, and/ or a Retired Credential, as applicable, either while still employed by TSA (shortly before separating or retiring) or after they have separated or retired (after they become private citizens, i.e., are no longer employed by the Federal Government). The LEOSA Identification Card Application (TSA Form 2825A) requires collection of identifying information, contact information, official title, separation date, and last known field office. Identifying information, such as the date of birth and social security number, are necessary to confirm the individual’s identity and to process the individual through the National Crime Information Center database. Similarly, for purposes of a retired badge and/or credential, TSA Form 2808–R, Retired Badge and/or Retired Credential Application, requires collection of identifying information, contact information, TSA employment/position information (TSA component or Government agency), official title, and entry on duty date. This collection of information is necessary to confirm the identity of the individual, conduct the necessary qualification process to determine the individual’s eligibility for a retired badge and/or credential, and to contact the individual if needed. Based on current data, TSA estimates 183 TSA Forms 2825A and 183 TSA Forms 2808–R will be submitted, for a total of 366 respondents annually. It takes approximately 5 minutes (0.08333 hours) to complete either form, so the total annual hour burden to the public will be 366 x 0.08333 hours, or 30.5 hours. Dated: January 6, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), announce the availability of our draft recovery plan for New Mexico meadow jumping mouse (Zapus PO 00000 Frm 00060 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 hudsonius luteus), which we listed as endangered in 2014 (79 FR 33119) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The subspecies is endemic to New Mexico, Arizona, and a small area of southern Colorado. It nests in dry soils and uses dense riparian vegetation up to an elevation of about 9,500 feet. The draft recovery plan includes specific goals, objectives, and criteria that may help to inform our consideration of whether to reclassify the species as threatened (i.e., ‘‘downlist’’) or remove the subspecies from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife (i.e., ‘‘delist’’). We request review of and comment on the draft recovery plan from local, State, and Federal agencies; Tribes; nongovernmental organizations; and the public. Recovery Planning and Implementation Section 4(f) of the ESA requires the development of recovery plans for listed species, unless such a plan would not promote the conservation of a particular species. Also pursuant to section 4(f) of the ESA, a recovery plan must, to the maximum extent practicable, include: (1) A description of site-specific management actions as may be necessary to achieve the plan’s goals for the conservation and survival of the species; (2) Objective, measurable criteria that, when met, would support a determination under section 4(a)(1) that the species should be removed from the List of Endangered and Threatened Species; and (3) Estimates of the time and costs required to carry out those measures needed to achieve the plan’s goal and to achieve intermediate steps toward that goal. In 2016 the USFWS revised its approach to recovery planning, and is now using a process termed recovery planning and implementation (RPI) (see https://www.fws.gov/endangered/esalibrary/pdf/RPI.pdf). The RPI approach is intended to reduce the time needed to develop and implement recovery plans, increase recovery plan relevance over a longer timeframe, and add flexibility to recovery plans so they can be adjusted to new information or circumstances. Under RPI, a recovery plan addresses the statutorily required elements under section 4(f) of the Act, including site-specific management actions, objective and measurable recovery criteria, and the estimated time and cost to recovery. The RPI recovery plan is supported by two supplementary documents: A species status assessment (SSA), which describes the best E:\FR\FM\12JAN1.SGM 12JAN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is 
not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it 
displays a valid OMB control number. The ICR documentation will be 
available at https://www.reginfo.gov upon its submission to OMB. 
Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and 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;

Information Collection Requirement

LEOSA

    OMB Control Number 1652-0071; Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act 
and Retired Badge/Credential. Under 18 U.S.C. 926C, which codifies a 
portion of LEOSA,\1\ a ``qualified retired law enforcement officer'' 
may carry a concealed firearm in any jurisdiction in the United States, 
regardless of State or local laws, with certain limitations and 
conditions. In accordance with LEOSA, the Department of Homeland 
Security (DHS) issued DHS Directive and Instruction Manual 257-01, Law 
Enforcement Officers Safety Act (Nov. 5, 2009). DHS Directive 257-01 
requires DHS components to implement the provisions of LEOSA pertaining 
to qualified retired Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) as cost-
effectively and efficiently as possible consistent with the 
requirements and intent of the statute for LEOs formerly employed by 
DHS and predecessor agencies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Public Law 108-277, 118 Stat. 865, July 22, 2004, codified 
in 18 U.S.C. 926B and 926C, as amended by the Law Enforcement 
Officers Safety Act Improvements Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-272, 124 
Stat. 2855; Oct. 12, 2010) and National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2013 (Pub. L. 112-239, 126 Stat. 1970; Jan. 2, 
2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    TSA subsequently issued TSA Management Directive (MD) 3500.1, LEOSA 
Applicability and Eligibility (Oct. 7, 2001), to implement the LEOSA 
statute and DHS directive. Under this MD, TSA issues photographic 
identification to retired LEOs who separated or retired from TSA in 
``good standing'' and meet other qualification requirements identified 
in this MD.

Retired Badge/Credential

    Under TSA MD 2800.11, Badge and Credential Program, a TSA employee 
retiring from Federal service is eligible to receive a ``retired badge 
and/or credential'' if the individual: (1) Was issued a badge and/or 
credential, (2) qualifies for a Federal annuity under the Civil Service 
Retirement System or the Federal Employees Retirement System, and (3) 
meets all of the other qualification requirements under the MD.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ These instructions are included in DHS Instruction: 121-01-
002 (Issuance and Control of DHS Badges); DHS Instruction 121-01-008 
(Issuance and Control of the DHS Credentials); and the associated 
Handbook for TSA MD 2800.11.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If the employee is approved for a retired badge and/or credential, 
his or her badge and/or credential will be replicated by TSA and marked 
with the word ``RETIRED,'' to indicate that the retired employee no 
longer has the authority to perform specific official functions 
pursuant to law, statute, regulation, or DHS Directive. In the case of 
a retired LEO, the individual is prohibited from using the TSA retired 
credential as photographic identification for the purposes of the 
LEOSA.

Purpose and Description of Data Collection

    Under TSA's current application process for these two programs,

[[Page 1774]]

qualified applicants may apply for a LEOSA ID Card, a Retired Badge, 
and/or a Retired Credential, as applicable, either while still employed 
by TSA (shortly before separating or retiring) or after they have 
separated or retired (after they become private citizens, i.e., are no 
longer employed by the Federal Government).
    The LEOSA Identification Card Application (TSA Form 2825A) requires 
collection of identifying information, contact information, official 
title, separation date, and last known field office. Identifying 
information, such as the date of birth and social security number, are 
necessary to confirm the individual's identity and to process the 
individual through the National Crime Information Center database. 
Similarly, for purposes of a retired badge and/or credential, TSA Form 
2808-R, Retired Badge and/or Retired Credential Application, requires 
collection of identifying information, contact information, TSA 
employment/position information (TSA component or Government agency), 
official title, and entry on duty date. This collection of information 
is necessary to confirm the identity of the individual, conduct the 
necessary qualification process to determine the individual's 
eligibility for a retired badge and/or credential, and to contact the 
individual if needed.
    Based on current data, TSA estimates 183 TSA Forms 2825A and 183 
TSA Forms 2808-R will be submitted, for a total of 366 respondents 
annually. It takes approximately 5 minutes (0.08333 hours) to complete 
either form, so the total annual hour burden to the public will be 366 
x 0.08333 hours, or 30.5 hours.

    Dated: January 6, 2022.
