Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 40 / Wednesday, March 3, 2021 / Notices 12493 

non-federal entities that receive federal 

financial assistance in the form of a 

grant, cooperative agreement, or other 

type of financial assistance directly from 

the Department and not through another 

recipient or ‘‘pass-through’’ entity. This 

information collection does not apply to 

subrecipients, federal contractors 

(unless the contract includes the 

provision of financial assistance), nor 

the ultimate beneficiaries of services, 

financial aid, or other benefits from the 

Department. 

Recipients are required to provide the 

information 30 days from acceptance of 

award. Recipient of multiple awards of 

DHS financial assistance only submit 

one completed form for their 

organization, not per award. Recipient 

are required to complete the form once 

every two years if they have an active 

award, not every time a grant is 

awarded. Entities whose award does not 

run a full two years are required to 

provide the information again if they 

receive a subsequent award more than 

two (2) years after the prior award. In 

responding to Section 4: Required 

Information, which contains the bulk of 

the information collection, if the 

recipient’s responses have not changed 

in the two year period since their initial 

submission, the recipient does not need 

to resubmit the information. Instead, the 

recipient will indicate ‘‘no change’’ for 

each applicable item. 

The purpose of the information 

collection is to advise recipients of their 

civil rights obligations and collect 

pertinent civil rights information to 

ascertain if the recipient has in place 

adequate policies and procedures to 

achieve compliance, and to determine 

what, if any, further action may be 

needed (technical assistance, training, 

compliance review, etc.) to ensure the 

recipient is able to meet its civil rights 

requirements and will carry out its 

programs and activities in a 

nondiscriminatory manner. 

Over the past three years, DHS has 

used the information collected via the 

DHS Civil Rights Evaluation Tool to 

identify gaps and deficiencies in 

recipient programs and directly help 

recipients address these gaps and 

deficiencies by providing technical 

assistance on developing or improving 

policies and procedures to prevent 

discrimination and ensure accessibility. 

DHS requires recipients to submit 

their completed forms and supporting 

information electronically, via email, to 

the Department, in an effort to minimize 

administrative burden on the recipient 

and the Department. DHS anticipates 

that records or files that will be used to 

respond to the information collection 

are already maintained in electronic 

format by the recipient, so providing the 

information electronically further 

minimizes administrative burden. DHS 

allows recipients to scan and submit 

documents that are not already 

maintained electronically. 

If the recipient is unable to submit 

their information electronically, 

alternative arrangements will be made 

to submit responses in hard copy. 

DHS is pursuing further streamlining 

of the submission process through 

development of an online portal that 

would allow recipients to submit the 

data directly in a fully electronic form 

and eliminate the need for recipients to 

email the form and supporting 

documents as attachments. 

The information collection will 

impact some small entities (e.g., nonprofit service providers, local fire 

departments, etc.), however as described 

in response to Question 2, recipients 

will only be required to provide this 

information once every two years, not 

every time a grant is awarded. 

Additionally, in responding to Section 

4: Required Information, if the 

recipient’s responses have not changed 

in the two year period since their initial 

submission, the recipient does not need 

to resubmit the information. This will 

dramatically reduce the administrative 

burden on recipients after the initial 

submission. Additionally, DHS will 

further minimize burden on recipients 

by making available sample policies and 

procedures to assist recipients in 

completing Section 4 of the Form, and 

providing technical assistance directly 

to the recipient as needed. 

In accordance with the authorities 

identified in Question 1, the Department 

is required to obtain a signed assurance 

of compliance from recipients and to 

ensure that its federally assisted 

programs and activities are 

administered in a nondiscriminatory 

manner. If the information collection is 

not conducted or is conducted less 

frequently, the Department will not be 

able to fulfill its obligations to ascertain 

recipient compliance and enforce 

nondiscrimination in recipient 

programs. This could lead to the award 

of federal financial assistance to 

recipients that are not complying with 

federal civil rights law, and the 

perpetuation of discrimination in the 

provision of benefits and services to 

members of the public. 

There are no confidentiality 

assurances associated with this 

collection. The only privacy-sensitive 

information the form collects are the 

names of Point of Contacts (POCs) from 

recipient organizations. Coverage for the 

collection of this information is 

provided under a Department Privacy 

Impact Assessment, DHS/ALL/PIA–006 

General Contacts List. 

DHS is seeking an extension of the 

form for another three-year period. DHS 

is not proposing any changes to the 

information collected in the form but is 

proposing changes to Section 1 of the 

form on instructions to streamline the 

process for submitting the completed 

form. The changes to Section 1 do not 

impact the burden analysis. The 

changes in costs in Item 14 reflect 

increased hourly rates for Federal staff 

as reported by Office of Personnel 

Management for 2020, as well as an 

increase in the number of staff 

participating in the review process. 

Despite these increases, because the 

number of recipients subject to the 

collection has decreased from the 

previous reporting period, the total costs 

reported in Item 13 and 14 have also 

decreased.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TSA 

published a Federal Register notice, 

with a 60-day comment period soliciting 

comments, of the following collection of 

information on December 14, 2020, 85 

FR 80131. 

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 http://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 

Title: Imposition and Collection of 

Passenger Civil Aviation Security 

Service Fees. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

OMB Control Number: 1652–0001. 

Forms(s): TSA Form 2502. 

Affected Public: Air carriers and 

foreign air carriers. 

Abstract: TSA regulations, 49 CFR 

part 1510, require air carriers and 

foreign air carriers to collect the 

‘‘September 11th Security Fee’’ from 

passengers and to remit the fee to TSA 

on a monthly basis. Air carriers and 

foreign air carriers are further required 

to submit quarterly reports to TSA that 

provide an accounting of the fees 

imposed, collected, refunded to 

passengers, and remitted to TSA and to 

retain this data for three years. TSA has 

temporarily suspended an additional 

requirement for air carriers with over 

50,000 passengers to submit annual 

audits of its fee collections and 

remittance; this requirement may be 

reinstated in the future. In December 

2013, the fee was statutorily 

restructured to be based on one-way 

trips rather than enplanements (the 

statute was further amended to state that 

the fee shall be $5.60 per one-way trip 

or $11.20 per round trip.) In 2014 and 

2015, TSA published interim final rules 

to implement these amendments to 49 

U.S.C. 44940. See 79 FR 35461 (June 20, 

2014) and 80 FR 31850 (June 5, 2015), 

respectively. This information 

collection request covers both the 

quarterly reports and the estimated 

impact should annual audits be 

reinstated in the future. 

Number of Respondents: 170. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An 

estimated 2,760 hours annually. 

Dated: February 25, 2021.

generator in the final project design. In 

its letter, Vineyard Wind stated that it 

required additional time to review 

updated project parameters to confirm 

that the parameters fell within the 

project design envelope previously 

reviewed during the BOEM NEPA 

analysis.
