Download as PDF 79304 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 188 / Friday, September 27, 2024 / Notices Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer at (240) 276– 0361. Comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Proposed Project: Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant Synar Report Format, FFY 2024–2026— (OMB No. 0930–0222)—Extension Section 1926 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300x–26) stipulates Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services Block Grant (SUPTRS) funding agreements for alcohol and drug abuse programs for fiscal year 1994 and subsequent fiscal years require States to have in effect a law stating that it is unlawful for any manufacturer, retailer, or distributor of tobacco products to sell or distribute any such product to any individual under the age of 21. This section further requires that States conduct annual, random, unannounced inspections to ensure compliance with the law; that the State submit annually a report describing the results of the inspections, the activities carried out by the State to enforce the required law, the success the State has achieved in reducing the availability of tobacco products to individuals under the age of 21, and the strategies to be utilized by the State for enforcing such law during the fiscal year for which the grant is sought. Before making an award to a State under the Block Grant, the Secretary must make a determination that the State has maintained compliance with the regulations. If a determination is made that the State is not in compliance, penalties shall be applied. There are three (3) penalty options for failure to comply with the Synar requirements: (1) States may be fined a penalty up to 10 percent of the SUPTRS). (2) States may elect to submit a corrective action plan to the Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use within 90 days of receipt of notice that they are not in compliance with the Synar regulations, which outlines strategies they will take to reduce the Retail Violation Rate to 20 percent or less. (3) States certify to the Secretary by May 1 of the fiscal year for which the funds are appropriated, consistent with subparagraph (B), that the State will commit additional State funds, in accordance with paragraph (1), to ensure that retailers do not sell tobacco products to individuals under 21 years of age; (Pub. L. 116–94 Stat., sec. 604 pg. 593). Respondents include the 50 States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands. Red Lake Indian Tribe is not subject to tobacco requirements. Regulations that implement this legislation are at 45 CFR 96.130, are approved by OMB under control number 0930–0163, and require that each State submit an annual Synar report to the Secretary describing their progress in complying with section 1926 of the PHS Act. The Synar report, due December 31 following the fiscal year for which the state is reporting, describes the results of the inspections and the activities carried out by the State to enforce the required law; the success the State has achieved in reducing the availability of tobacco products to individuals under the age of 21; and the strategies to be utilized by the State for enforcing such law during the fiscal year for which the grant is sought. SAMHSA is requesting an extension of OMB approval of the current report format associated with section 1926 (42 U.S.C. 300x–26) to 2026. Extending OMB approval of the current report format will continue to facilitate consistent, credible, and efficient monitoring of Synar compliance across the States.

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;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden;
    (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 using appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
of information technology.

Information Collection Requirement

    OMB Control Number 1652-0011; Federal Flight Deck Officer Program. 
TSA initially required this information collection under the authority 
of the Arming Pilots Against Terrorism Act (APATA), which was enacted 
as title XIV, section 1402(a) of the Homeland Security Act (Pub. L. 
107-296, 116 Stat. 2135, 2300, Nov. 25, 2002), as amended by title VI, 
section 609(b) of the Vision 100-Century of Aviation Reauthorization 
Act (Vision 100) (Pub. L. 108-176, 117 Stat. 2489, 2570, Dec. 12, 
2003), as codified at 49 U.S.C. 44921. TSA is seeking to renew this 
information collection to continue collecting the information described 
in this notice to comply with its statutory mission. The APATA required 
TSA to establish a program to deputize volunteer pilots of passenger 
air carriers as Federal law enforcement officers to defend the flight 
deck of their aircraft against acts of criminal violence or air piracy. 
With the enactment of Vision 100, eligibility to participate in the 
FFDO program expanded to include pilots of all-cargo aircraft, as well 
as flight engineers and navigators on both passenger and cargo 
aircraft.
    To screen volunteers for entry into the FFDO program, TSA collects 
information from applicants, including name, address, prior address 
information, personal references, criminal history, limited medical 
information, financial information, and employment information, through 
comprehensive applications they submit to TSA.
    TSA is revising the collection by discontinuing the TSA verbal 
interview and enabling online submission of answers to certification 
questions. TSA previously verbally interviewed each applicant who 
completed the questionnaire to certify their compliance with the FFDO 
program requirements. In lieu of a verbal interview, TSA has now added 
these certification questions to the ``Certification and Release of 
Information'' section of the questionnaire, allowing all the required 
information to be completed during the online application process. This 
revision reduces the burden to the collection by removing the burden 
time to complete the TSA verbal interview. In addition, the change 
eliminates duplication of certain questions that had been asked in the 
TSA verbal interview that were identical to questions asked by the 
background investigators who later interview applicants.
    Based on the average number of new applicants to the FFDO program, 
TSA estimates a total of 1,700 respondents annually. TSA estimates that 
the online application will take one hour for each applicant to 
complete for a total burden of 1,700 hours.
