Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 209 / Tuesday, October 29, 2024 / Notices
Data by Countries of Concern or
Covered Persons, [DOJ Docket No. NSD–
104, RIN 1124–AA01], published in
today’s proposed rule section of the
Federal Register for public comment.
1. Are the proposed security
requirements sufficiently robust to
mitigate the risks of access to
Americans’ bulk sensitive personal data
or government-related data by countries
of concern?
2. Are the proposed organizationaland system-level requirements sufficient
to provide U.S. persons engaging in
restricted transactions confidence that
logical and physical access to covered
data is sufficiently managed to deny
access to covered persons or countries
of concern?
3. Do the security requirements
provide sufficient flexibility, clarity,
and specificity for the types of restricted
transactions typically engaged in by
U.S. entities, including to avoid overly
burdening commercial activity not
involving covered data while providing
sufficient level of detail to aid in
compliance verification?
4. Are there other data-level
requirements (beyond those listed in
Section II of the proposed security
requirements) that CISA should
consider that would enable U.S. entities
to engage in commercial transactions
without revealing covered data to
covered persons or countries of
concern?
5. The current approach allows for
flexibility to determine which data-level
requirements are sufficient to fully and
effectively prevent access to covered
data by covered persons and/or
countries of concern. Are there datalevel requirements that CISA should
consider requiring in all cases?
6. What additional interpretive
guidance would be helpful to U.S.
entities in determining which data-level
requirements should be applied based
on the nature of the transaction and the
data at issue?
7. What substantive requirements
should CISA consider in Section II.C. to
further define appropriate privacyenhancing technologies that may be
used within restricted transactions?
8. Should the standards for data
aggregation in Section II.A differ from
the proposed definition of bulk in the
DOJ regulations? If so, are there
requirements CISA should impose for
U.S. persons engaged in restricted
transactions to ensure that covered data
is not re-constructable through
aggregation while permitting more
granular thresholds?
9. Are there additional substantive
standards that should be added to the
data-level requirements in Section II to
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
better ensure their implementation can
achieve the policy goal of not permitting
access to covered data by covered
persons or countries of concern?
10. To what extent could the
measures described currently be
reversed, broken, or circumvented by a
technologically sophisticated actor? Are
there additional conditions that would
better or more appropriately mitigate
this risk? If so, please describe them in
detail.
11. To what extent could the
measures described be rendered
reversible, breakable, or able to be
circumvented by anticipated future
technology advances? What type of
future technology advances would pose
the greatest risk to these types of
protective measures?
12. Would it be useful to the entities
likely to undertake restricted
transactions if CISA mapped these
requirements to ISO–27001 or example
controls from NIST Special Publication
800–171 (e.g., to facilitate compliance
audits)?

Individuals in the United States who are
deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have
a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY,
TDD, or TeleBraille) to access
telecommunications relay services.
Individuals outside the United States
should use the relay services offered
within their country to make
international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA; 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.) and its implementing regulations
at 5 CFR 1320, all information
collections require approval under the
PRA. We may not conduct or sponsor
and you are not required to respond to
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other
Federal agencies to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
On August 7, 2024, we published in
the Federal Register (89 FR 64476) a
notice of our intent to request that OMB
renew this information collection. In
that notice, we solicited comments for
60 days, ending on October 7, 2024. In
a continued effort to increase public
awareness of, and participation in, our
public commenting processes associated
with information collection requests,
the Service also published the Federal
Register notice on Regulations.gov
(Docket No. FWS–HQ–MB–2024–0093)
to provide the public with an additional
method to submit comments (in
addition to the typical U.S. mail
submission method). We received an

anonymous comment in response to that
notice which did not address the
information collection requirements;
therefore, no response is required.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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.
Abstract: The Migratory Bird Treaty
Act (MBTA; 16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.)
prohibits the unauthorized take of
migratory birds and authorizes the
Secretary of the Interior to regulate take
of migratory birds in the United States.
Under this authority, we control the
hunting of migratory game birds through
regulations in 50 CFR part 20. On
January 1, 1991, we banned lead shot for
hunting waterfowl and coots in the
United States.
This is a non-form collection.
Regulations at 50 CFR 20.134 outline
the application and approval process for
new types of nontoxic shot. When
considering approval of a candidate
material as nontoxic, we must ensure
that it is not hazardous in the
environment and that secondary
exposure (ingestion of spent shot or its
components) is not a hazard to
migratory birds. To make that decision,
we require each applicant to provide
information about the solubility and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
toxicity of the candidate material.
Additionally, for law enforcement
purposes, a noninvasive field detection
device must be available to distinguish
candidate shot from lead shot. This
information constitutes the bulk of an
application for approval of nontoxic
shot. The Director uses the data in the
application to decide whether to
approve a material as nontoxic.
Title of Collection: Approval
Procedures for Nontoxic Shot and Shot
Coatings (50 CFR 20.134).
OMB Control Number: 1018–0067.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Businesses that produce and/or market
approved nontoxic shot types or
nontoxic shot coatings.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 1.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 1.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 3,200 hours.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 3,200 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: $26,630 ($1,630
application processing fee and $25,000
for solubility testing).
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
The authority for this action is the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
