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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:09 Sep 26, 2024
Jkt 262001
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.
Dated: September 23, 2024.

AGENCY:
The Department of the Army
(Army) filed an application with the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for
extension of the withdrawal of public
lands for the Army’s use for the
McGregor Range, located in Otero
County, New Mexico. The McGregor
Range encompasses 608,385 acres that
Congress withdrew from all forms of
appropriation under the public land
laws, including the mining, mineral
leasing, and geothermal leasing laws,
subject to valid existing rights, for a 25year period and reserved for the Army’s
use. The current withdrawal will expire
on November 6, 2026, unless Congress
approves the extension. This notice
advises the public of an opportunity to
comment on the application, attend a
public meeting, and review the
legislative environmental assessment
(EA).
SUMMARY:
Comments regarding this
withdrawal application must be
received by December 26, 2024. In
addition, the BLM and the Army will
host public meetings addressing the
withdrawal application.
The BLM and the Army will hold a
virtual public meeting in connection
with the proposed withdrawal extension
on November 20, 2024, via Zoom at 6
p.m. (Mountain Time). To register for
the meeting, visit https://

international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
3011(d) of the Military Lands
Withdrawal Act (MLWA) of 1999 (Pub.
L. 106–65) withdrew approximately
608,385 acres of public land for the
McGregor Range from all forms of
appropriation under public land laws
and reserved them for use by the Army.
The withdrawal will expire on
November 6, 2026, unless extended by
Congress. The Army has filed an
application for extension of the current
withdrawal for 25 years. Extension of
the withdrawal is warranted by the
purpose of the withdrawal established
by Congress: to allow for continued
military use of the McGregor Range,
which is used to train military
personnel and test equipment to meet
nationally directed missions and
requirements.
The public land withdrawn under
Public Law 106–65 encompasses
approximately 608,385 acres in Otero
County, New Mexico. As noted in a
previous Federal Register notice (66 FR
26881, May 15, 2001), this land is
accurately described under a previous
Federal Register notice (52 FR 18960,
May 20, 1987) and two Federal Register
correction notices (52 FR 22577, June
12, 1987; 52 FR 26188, July 13, 1987).
The Engle Act (Pub. L. 85–337, 43
U.S.C. 155–157) requires withdrawals
for defense purposes of more than 5,000
acres in the aggregate for any one
defense project or facility to be
authorized by an Act of Congress.
Section 3016 of the MLWA requires the
Army to notify the Secretary of the
Interior and Congress whether there is a
continuing military need for the
withdrawn land. The Army and the
Department of the Interior (DOI) intend
to submit a legislative proposal for
extension of the withdrawal and
reservation to Congress not later than
May 1, 2025.
As required by section 204(b)(1) of the
Federal Land Policy and Management
Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 1714(b)(1), and
BLM regulations at 43 CFR part 2300,
the BLM is publishing notice of the
Army’s application. While the BLM and
the DOI assist the Army with the
processing of withdrawal applications,
and the Secretary of the Interior makes
a recommendation to Congress on
applications for withdrawals of this size
for defense purposes, Congress will
decide whether to extend the existing
withdrawal for the McGregor Range.
The Army is preparing a legislative
EA in support of the legislative proposal
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:09 Sep 26, 2024
Jkt 262001
and is conducting public scoping under
NEPA. The Army will host a joint
virtual public scoping meeting and will
accept comments on potential
alternatives, potential environment
impacts, information, and analyses
relevant to the proposed action. The
BLM is participating as a cooperating
agency in the preparation of the
legislative EA. Information on the
environmental review process can be
viewed using the link in the ADDRESSES
section. This notice invites the public to
comment on the application for
withdrawal extension, notifies the
public that a public meeting will occur,
and provides the opportunity for the
public to review the legislative EA.
For a period until December 26, 2024,
all persons who wish to submit
comments in connection with the
withdrawal application and the
legislative EA may present their
comments in writing to the address
listed in the ADDRESSES section. All
comments received will be considered
before the Secretary of the Interior
makes any recommendation to
Congress.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment, including your
personal identifying information, may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
The withdrawal extension application
will be processed in accordance with
MLWA, and to the extent consistent
with MWLA, the regulations set forth in
43 CFR 2310.4.
