67934 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 224 / Monday, November 22, 2004 / Notices 

Abstract: Section 603 of Vision 100—

Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act 

(Pub. L. 108–176) requires TSA to 

develop and provide a voluntary 

advanced self-defense training program 

for flight and cabin crew members of air 

carriers providing scheduled passenger 

air transportation. This collection would 

allow TSA to collect enrollment 

information from volunteer flight and 

cabin crew members who wish to 

register for self-defense classes, and 

would permit TSA to solicit voluntary 

feedback on the quality of the training. 

Due to an impending statutory deadline, 

TSA is seeking an emergency threemonth authorization, until February 

2005, to collect this information. 

TSA seeks emergency approval for a 

collection of information that would 

permit flight and cabin crew members to 

register for self-defense classes, and 

would solicit voluntary feedback from 

participants on the quality of the 

training. Registration information would 

be gathered from volunteers for 

purposes of registering them for a selfdefense program, confirming that they 

are eligible for that program (i.e., that 

they are an active flight or cabin crew 

member for a commercial or cargo air 

carrier), and to confirm attendance at 

the self-defense classes. The information 

that would be collected during the 

registration process consists of the 

volunteer’s identifying information 

(such as the volunteer’s name and 

employee number), the name of the 

volunteer’s employer, and contact 

information. There would be no form 

used for registration because it will 

occur through local community colleges 

throughout the country. Applicants will 

register through whatever the normal 

registration process is for the 

community college that is offering the 

course in their area. 

After training is completed, TSA 

would solicit written feedback from 

trainees by using a standard TSA form 

(attached). Completion of this form 

would be voluntary and anonymous. 

Number of Respondents: 3,000. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An 

estimated 750 hours annually. 

Estimated Annual Cost Burden: $0.00. 

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.

DATE/TIME OF MEETING: December 14,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose of Public Meeting 

This public meeting provides a forum 

for the remote sensing industry and 

other interested participants to be 

briefed on the progress and plans of the 

CRSSP near-term requirements 

collection and evaluation process and to 

discuss ways to improve its 

effectiveness. 

Background 

On April 25, 2003, the president 

signed the U.S. Commercial Remote 

Sensing Space Policy. The fundamental 

goal of this policy is to advance and 

protect U.S. national security and 

foreign policy interests by maintaining 

the nation’s leadership in remote 

sensing space activities, and by 

sustaining and enhancing the U.S. 

remote sensing industry. Doing so will 

also foster economic growth, contribute 

to environmental stewardship, and 

enable scientific and technological 

excellence. In support of this goal, the 

United States Government is directed to: 

• Rely to the maximum practical 

extent on U.S. commercial remote 

sensing space capabilities for filling 

imagery and geospatial needs for 

military, intelligence, foreign policy, 

and homeland security, and civil users; 

• Focus United States Government 

remote sensing space systems on 

meeting needs that can not be 

effectively, affordably, and reliably 

satisfied by commercial providers 

because of economic factors, civil 

mission needs, national security 

concerns, or foreign policy concerns; 

• Develop a long-term, sustainable 

relationship between the United States 

Government and the U.S. commercial 

remote sensing space industry; 

• Provide a timely and responsive 

regulatory environment for licensing the 

operations and exports of commercial 

remote sensing space systems; and

• Enable U.S. industry to compete 

successfully as a provider of remote 

sensing space capabilities for foreign 

governments and foreign commercial 

users, while ensuring appropriate 

measures are implemented to protect 

national security and foreign policy. 

The specific directives to civil 

agencies included: 

• Determine which needs for imagery 

and geospatial products and services 

can be reliably met by commercial 

remote sensing space capabilities; 

• Communicate current and projected 

needs to the commercial remote sensing 

space industry. 

The policy also directs civil agencies 

to craft a plan for policy 

implementation. The plan, agreed to in 

December 2003, calls for shared 

responsibilities among civil agencies, 

close coordination with the National 

Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and the 

formation of two groups; a senior 

steering committee (SSC) for policy 

guidance and an interagency policy 

implementation working group (IWG) 

for operational support. The USGS 

administers these two groups and serves 

as the lead civil agency. The policy also 

identifies goals beyond the scope of the 

implementation plan that are being 

addressed by other interagency groups. 

Proposed Agenda 

The meeting will begin with 

presentations to provide an update on 

the CRSSP civil near-term requirementscollection process and planned 

reporting capabilities, followed by 

discussions of how to provide 

meaningful requirements information 

for industry planning and business 

decisions. Representatives from the 

CRSSP IWG will present the goals, 

accomplishments, plans and potential 

enhancements to the process. 

Meeting Access 

Directions to the USGS National 

Center can be accessed at http://

www.usgs.gov/major_sites.html. After 

arriving at USGS follow signs to Visitors 

Parking and proceed to the Visitors 

Entrance. You will be required to show 

valid picture identification as you enter.

Center.
