(AACPP); Satisfaction and 

Effectiveness Measurement Data 

Collection Instruments

AGENCY: Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA), DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: TSA invites public comment 

on a currently approved information 

collection requirement abstracted below 

that will be submitted to OMB for 

renewal in compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act.

DATES: Send your comments by 

December 13, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed 

or delivered to Lisa Dean, Privacy 

Officer, Office of Transportation 

Security Policy, TSA–9, Transportation 

Security Administration, 601 South 

12th Street, Arlington, VA 22202–4220.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa 

Dean at the above address or by 

telephone (571) 227–3947 or facsimile 

(571) 227–2555.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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. Therefore, in preparation for 

submission to renew clearance 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 through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

TSA intends to continue testing and 

evaluating certain new and emerging 

biometric and other technologies 

through the Airport Access Control Pilot 

Program (AACPP), which is currently 

being conducted under OMB control 

number 1652–0020. TSA will gather 

biometric information, demographic 

information, and airport user 

identification from a select group of 

participants at 22 locations to test the 

use of emerging technologies for airport 

access control and then evaluate those 

technologies using two satisfaction 

instruments. The first instrument will 

be a survey given to a representative 

sample of airport users and the second 

instrument will be an interview 

conducted with the lead stakeholder at 

each site and a small percentage of 

persons participating in the project. 

Surveys and interviews will be 

voluntary. TSA estimates the total 

annual number of respondents for this 

collection to be 2,620 individuals and 

the total annual burden to be 780 hours. 

There is no cost burden to any of the 

respondents.

[CA–360–04–2822–JS] 

Notice of Emergency Temporary 

Closure of Certain Public Lands, to 

Motorized Vehicles and Other Uses, in 

Shasta and Trinity Counties, CA, Under 

Burned Area Emergency Stabilization 

and Restoration

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of temporary closure.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) Redding Field 

Office is temporarily closing portions of 

public lands to motorized and 

mechanized vehicle use, and 

prohibiting or restricting certain other 

uses on public lands managed by the 

Redding Field Office. This closure is 

needed to protect public health and 

safety, cultural and natural resources 

and stabilization treatments as 

recommended in the Department of the 

Interior’s Burned Area Emergency 

Stabilization and Rehabilitation (BAER) 

Plan for the French Fire in Shasta and 

Trinity counties.

DATES: This closure is in effect from 

September 13, 2004 until December 31, 

2005. The closure may be lifted sooner 

if BLM determines that road repairs, 

revegetation, and stabilization efforts 

have reduce safety hazards and 

significant resource concerns.

ADDRESSES: Copies of and map of the 

closed areas can be obtained at the BLM, 

Redding Field Office, 355 Hemsted 

Drive, Redding, CA 96002, (530) 224–

2100. BLM will also announce the

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 198 / Thursday, October 14, 2004 / Notices 61037

closure through local media outlets by 

posting this notice with a map of the 

closed areas at key locations that 

provide access the closure area.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Steven W. Anderson, Field Manager, 

Bureau of Land Management, Redding 

Field Office, 355 Hemsted Drive, 

Redding, CA 96002 or Francis Berg, 

BLM, phone (530) 224–2100 or by email at wkuntz@ca.blm.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

public lands affected by the French Fire 

and addressed in the BAER Plan are 

closed to travel by horseback, motorized 

and mechanized vehicle use (i.e.,

including trucks, sport utility vehicles, 

all-terrain vehicles, cars, motorcycles, 

mountain bikes) except for: Authorized 

access to private lands and mining 

claims, use by fire and law enforcement 

vehicles, emergency activities and other 

authorized uses. The authorities for this 

closure and restriction order are 43 CFR 

8364.1 and 9268.3(d). 

The following paragraphs explain the 

background for BLM’s management of 

the closed lands, and the reason for the 

closure and restriction. 

These lands and roads are temporarily 

closed to vehicles to protect public 

health and safety from rockslides, 

timber deadfall and slope failure due to 

loss of vegetation and falling trees in the 

areas affected by the fire, and to allow 

for post-fire road reconstruction and 

maintenance. The treat of increased 

vehicle use may increase due to the lack 

of vegetation and other physical barriers 

that previously blocked access. There is 

also the increased potential for the 

introduction of invasive/non-native 

plants in the burdened areas from 

motorized and mechanized vehicles, 

and the potential for collection or 

lotting of cultural and historical artifacts 

now revealed due to the loss of 

vegetation. This closure and restriction 

order applies to approximately 7,153 

acres of public lands affected by the 

French Fire of August 2004. 

Closure Order 

Section 1. Closed Lands 

This closure affects all of the public 

lands and roads, subject to the 

exceptions in Section 2, located within 

the French Fire perimeter. Public lands 

in the following described tracts are

and mechanized vehicles:

T. 33N., R6W, sections 18, and 19, M.D.M. 

T. 33N., R7W, sections 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 

14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24, 25, 26, 

28, and 32, M.D.M. 

T. 33N., R8W, sections 12, 13, and 24, 

M.D.M.

A total of approximately 7,153 acres 

Section 2. Exceptions to Closures and

resource management and recovery 

activities, use by fire and law 

enforcement vehicles. In addition, 

access to mining claims and private 

property by property owners may be 

authorized by the BLM Field Manager or 

the acting Field Manager. Nothing in 

this closure is intended to affect legal 

hunting as consistent with California 

Department of Fish and Game 

regulations. 

Section 3. Penalties 

Under section 303(a) of the Federal 

Land Policy and Management Act of 

1976 (43 U.S.C. 1733(a) and 43 CFR 

8360–7, if you violate these closures or 

restrictions on public lands within the 

boundaries established, you may be 

tried before a United States Magistrate 

and fined no more than $1,000 or 

imprisoned for no more than 12 months, 

or both. Such violations may also be 

subject to the enhanced fines provided 

for by 18 U.S.C. 3571. 

Section 4. Conditions for Ending 

Closures and Restrictions 

Soil stabilization, revegetation, road 

repairs, and treatments to control 

invasive species will be considered 

successful, and the area may be returned 

to preclosure travel designations and 

opened sooner than December 31, 2005, 

if and when the following occur: 

a. All culverts, road safety signs, 

fencing, and gates have been replaced or 

repaired. 

b. Slopes and soils within the French 

Fire perimeter show signs of 

stabilization and have not experienced 

slope failure through at least one winter 

season and at least two major rain 

events. 

c. Regrowth of vegetation has 

sufficiently obscured cultural sites 

previously exposed by the fire. 

d. Seeding treatments on areas or 

natural revegetation (identified in BAER 

Plan for French Fire) have resulted in at 

least 30% regeneration of native species, 

or have been deemed unsuccessful after 

at least one full growing season.

Notice of Realty Action: NonCompetitive Direct Sale of Public 

Lands in San Juan County, NM

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of realty action.

SUMMARY: Lands in San Juan County, 

New Mexico are being considered for 

direct sale to San Juan County utilizing 

non-competitive procedures at the 

appraised fair market value.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority 

for the sale is Section 203 of the Federal 

Land Policy and Management Act of 

1976 (FLPMA). 

The lands are described as follows:

New Mexico Principal Meridian 

T. 29 N., R. 12 W., 

Sec. 28: E1⁄2NE1⁄4SE1⁄4SW1⁄4SE1⁄4:

The lands contain 1.26 acres, more or 

less, located south of the San Juan 

County Fair grounds. This parcel of 

land, situated in San Juan County, is 

being considered for a direct sale to San 

Juan County, the adjacent property 

owner. The sale price will not be less 

than the fair market value of $30,000.00. 

This land is not required for any federal 

purposes. The sale is consistent with 

current Bureau planning for this area, 

and a direct sale to the County would 

be in the public interest. A sale will 

settle a trespass and allow expansion of 

existing rodeo grounds. In the event of 

a sale, the conveyance will be of surface 

interests only. Any patent, when issued, 

will contain the following reservations 

to the United States: 

1. Patent Reservations: 

A. All valid existing rights (including 

rights-of-ways). 

B. Reserve a right for the Federal 

Government to construct ditches and 

canals. 

C. Reserve all minerals to the Federal 

Government.
