DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

SECURITY 

Transportation Security Administration 

Notice of Meeting 

AGENCY: Transportation Security 

Administration, Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to standards of the 

International Civil Aviation 

Organization (ICAO), effective June 30, 

2021, all international air-cargo 

transported on commercial aircraft must 

be screened by the aircraft operator or 

received from another regulated entity 

that has applied security controls that 

satisfy the international standards. The 

Transportation Security Administration 

(TSA) intends to implement a new 

program that meets the ICAO standards 

for an alternative to screening and is 

announcing a closed meeting with 

representatives of e-commerce 

fulfillment centers, manufacturers, 

shippers, suppliers, warehouses, and 

third-party logistics providers who ship 

international air cargo to discuss this 

alternative framework. This meeting 

will be closed to the public. 

Participation is limited and all 

participants must be validated by TSA 

as a representative of one of the 

industries identified above and obtain 

clearance from TSA for access to 

Sensitive Security Information (SSI). In 

light of the COVID–19 public health 

crisis, the meeting will be virtual. 

DATES: This meeting will occur on 

Wednesday, January 13, 2021, beginning 

at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time). 

Requests to attend the meeting must be 

received by the individual listed in FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT on or 

before January 6, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Additional information on 

SSI can be found at the following link: 

https://www.tsa.gov/for-industry/ 

sensitive-security-information. Due to 

the COVID–19 public health crisis, the 

meeting will be held virtually. See 

Participation at the Meeting below for 

information on how to register to attend 

the meeting. TSA will provide 

participation and other information to 

qualified participants in advance of the 

meeting.

Security Administration, 6595

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Effective June 30, 2021, international 

standards require that all international 

air cargo carried by commercial air 

carriers (passenger and all-cargo) be 

screened or received from an entity that 

has applied security controls and/or 

screened the cargo. On April 10, 2020, 

TSA published a Request for 

Information (RFI): Air Cargo Security 

Options to Mitigate Costs of Compliance 

with International Security 

Requirements.1 The RFI requested 

information from the public, specifically 

the air cargo industry, relating to 

compliance with international security 

standards for the transport of air cargo.2

TSA extended the comment period for 

the RFI and held a public meeting on 

July 29, 2020, to provide information to 

assist the public in submitting 

comments and obtain feedback from the 

industry.3 Through the RFI, TSA 

specifically sought information 

regarding options to reduce the burden 

on U.S. and foreign all-cargo aircraft 

operators in complying with the 

international standards, such as security 

controls implemented throughout the 

supply chain that provides a level of 

security commensurate with the 

screening of cargo before air transport. 

Closed Meeting 

On January 13, 2021, TSA will hold 

a closed meeting to present a new 

program that e-commerce fulfillment 

centers, manufacturers, shippers, 

suppliers, warehouses, and third-party 

logistics providers who ship 

international air cargo could voluntarily 

choose to participate in as an alternative 

to having their air cargo screened by a 

TSA-regulated commercial air carrier. 

This discussion requires participants to 

speak freely about issues that would be 

detrimental to transportation safety and 

security if disclosed. 

Pursuant to the requirements in Title 

49 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) 

sections 114(r) and 44912(d), and 

implementing regulations in title 49 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

part 1520, this meeting will be closed to 

the public to protect against disclosure 

of SSI. SSI protections apply to 

information related to development of 

procedures and facilities ‘‘to protect 

passengers and property against acts of 

criminal violence, aircraft privacy, and 

terrorism and to ensure security.’’ 4 All 

participants must either be ‘‘covered 

persons’’ as defined in 49 CFR 1520.7, 

or otherwise designated by TSA as a 

‘‘covered person’’ for purposes of this 

event. Participants will be required to 

sign a non-disclosure agreement, which 

includes acknowledgment of TSA’s SSI 

requirements, and ensure that any 

information received or otherwise 

communicated is properly protected. 

The responsibilities of participants to 

safeguard all SSI disclosed during or 

related to this meeting will continue 

after the conclusion of the industry day 

event. 

Participation at the Meeting 

In addition to providing invitations to 

relevant associations and corporate 

representatives known to TSA through 

its regular stakeholder engagements, 

TSA also invites representatives of 

manufacturers, shippers, suppliers, 

warehouses, e-commerce fulfillment 

centers, third-party logistics providers 

that rely on international air cargo 

transportation for commercial purposes. 

Participants will be encouraged to share 

their feedback about TSA’s proposed 

alternate framework to assist industry in 

implementing the new ICAO standards. 

Persons within these industries are 

encouraged to contact the individual 

noted in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section of this notice for 

additional information. Participation in 

the meeting is limited to individuals 

that TSA determines represent industry 

entities potentially and directly affected 

by the international standards. TSA will 

limit participation to no more than two 

individuals per association or company. 

All participants must be approved by 

TSA for access to SSI and must sign a 

Non-Disclosure Agreement in advance 

of the meeting. Further attendance 

information will be provided to 

qualified participants. 

The meeting on January 13, 2021, is 

scheduled to be a full-day meeting 

beginning at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard 

86576 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 250 / Wednesday, December 30, 2020 / Notices 

Time) but may end earlier if the 

discussion has concluded.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice informs the public that HUD is 

seeking approval from OMB for the 

information collection described in 

Section A. 

The Federal Register notice that 

solicited public comment on the 

information collection for a period of 60 

days was published on October 30, 2020 

at 85 FR 68911. 

A. Overview of Information Collection 

Title of Information Collection: HUD 

Environmental Review Online System 

(HEROS). 

OMB Approval Number: 2506–0202. 

Type of Request: Revision of currently 

approved collection. 

Form Number: None. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: 24 CFR 

part 58, ‘‘Environmental Review 

Procedures for Entities Assuming HUD 

Environmental Responsibilities’’ 

requires units of general local 

government receiving HUD assistance to 

maintain a written environmental 

review record for all projects receiving 

HUD funding documenting compliance 

with the National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA), the regulations of the 

Council on Environmental Quality, 

related federal environmental laws, 

executive orders, and authorities, and 

Part 58 procedure. Various laws that 

authorize this procedure are listed in 24 

CFR 58.1(b). 24 CFR part 50, ‘‘Protection 

and Enhancement of Environmental 

Quality,’’ implements procedures for 

HUD to perform environmental reviews 

for projects where Part 58 is not 

permitted by law. Under Part 50, HUD 

staff complete the environmental review 

records, but they may use any 

information supplied by an applicant or 

contractor, provided HUD 

independently evaluates the 

information and is responsible for its 

accuracy and prepares the 

environmental finding. HEROS allows 

users to complete, store, and submit 

their environmental review records and 

documents online. HEROS is currently 

optional for Responsible Entity and 

other non-HUD users, who may 

continue to use paper-based 

environmental review formats.
