* The Standards Council of Canada 

(SCC) voted to end its Laboratory 

Accreditation Program for Substance 

Abuse (LAPSA) effective May 12, 1998. 

Laboratories certified through that 

program were accredited to conduct 

forensic urine drug testing as required 

by U.S. Department of Transportation 

(DOT) regulations. As of that date, the 

certification of those accredited 

Canadian laboratories will continue 

under DOT authority. The responsibility 

for conducting quarterly performance 

testing plus periodic on-site inspections 

of those LAPSA-accredited laboratories 

was transferred to the U.S. HHS, with 

the HHS’ NLCP contractor continuing to 

have an active role in the performance 

testing and laboratory inspection 

processes. Other Canadian laboratories 

wishing to be considered for the NLCP 

may apply directly to the NLCP 

contractor just as U.S. laboratories do. 

Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to 

be qualified, HHS will recommend that 

DOT certify the laboratory (Federal 

Register, July 16, 1996) as meeting the 

minimum standards of the Mandatory 

Guidelines published in the Federal 

Register on April 30, 2010 (75 FR 

22809). After receiving DOT 

certification, the laboratory will be 

included in the monthly list of HHScertified laboratories and participate in 

the NLCP certification maintenance 

program.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: DHS Individual Complaint of 

Employment Discrimination 

AGENCY: Department of Homeland 

Security, DHS. 

ACTION: 60-Day Notice and request for 

comments; Extension without Change, 

1610–0001. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland 

Security, DHS, will submit the 

following Information Collection 

Request (ICR) to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 

35). 

DATES: Comments are encouraged and 

will be accepted until July 1, 2011. This 

process is conducted in accordance with 

5 CFR 1320.1. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

questions about this Information 

Collection Request should be forwarded 

to DHS, Attn.: Denise Moore, 

denise.moore@dhs.gov, 202–254–8230. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

recordkeeping provisions are designed 

to ensure that a current employee, 

former employee, or applicant for 

employment claiming to be aggrieved or 

that person’s attorney provide a signed 

statement that is sufficiently precise to 

identify the aggrieved individual and 

the agency and to describe generally the 

action(s) or practice(s) that form the 

basis of the complaint. The complaint 

must also contain a telephone number 

and address where the complainant or 

the representative can be contacted. The 

complaint form is used for original 

allegations of discrimination but also for 

amendments to underlying complaints 

of discrimination. The form also 

determines whether the person is 

willing to participate in mediation or 

other available types of alternative 

dispute resolution (ADR) to resolve their 

complaint; Congress has enacted 

legislation to encourage the use of ADR 

in the federal sector and the form 

ensures that such an option is 

considered at this preliminary stage of 

the EEO complaint process. 

It is the policy of the Government of 

the United States to provide equal 

opportunity in employment for all 

persons, to prohibit discrimination in 

employment because of race, color, 

religion, sex, national origin, age, 

disability, protected genetic 

information, sexual orientation, or 

status as a parent, and to promote the 

full realization of equal employment 

opportunity (EEO) through a continuing 

affirmative program in each agency. 

Persons who claim to have been 

subjected to these types of 

discrimination, or to retaliation for 

opposing these types of discrimination 

or for participating in any stage of 

administrative or judicial proceedings 

relating to them, can seek a remedy 

under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act 

(Title VII) (42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.) (race, 

color, religion, sex, national origin), the 

Age Discrimination in Employment Act 

(ADEA) (29 U.S.C. 621 et seq.) (age), the 

Equal Pay Act (29 U.S.C. 206(d)) (sex), 

the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 791 et 

seq.) (disability), the Genetic 

Information Nondiscrimination Act 

(GINA) (42 U.S.C. 2000ff et seq.) 

(genetic information), and Executive 

Order 11478 (as amended by Executive 

Orders 13087 and 13152) (sexual 

orientation or status as a parent). 

The Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS), Office for Civil Rights 

and Civil Liberties (CRCL) adjudicates 

discrimination complaints filed by 

current and former DHS employees, as 

well as applicants for employment to 

DHS. The complaint adjudication 

process for statutory rights is outlined in 

the Equal Employment Opportunity 

Commission (EEOC) regulations found 

at Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations 

Part 1614 and EEO Management 

Directive 110. For complaints regarding 

sexual orientation or status as a parent, 

DHS follows the same procedures as for 

statutory rights, to the extent permitted 

by law. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

which: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information 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 of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

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, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS), Office of Health Affairs/OCMO 

Early Detection Division will collect 

information from BioWatch 

jurisdictions. The BioWatch Program 

operates aerosol collector equipment in 

approximately 30 U.S. jurisdictions to 

monitor for the presence of organisms 

that may be related to the deliberate 

release of a select subset of biological 

threat agents. Information is collected in 

writing by a representative of a 

BioWatch jurisdiction (either an 

employee, or a contractor) assigned 

responsibility for installing and 

removing filters from aerosol collection 

devices and transportation to local 

laboratories for sample analysis. A 

standard filter log form is completed for 

each sample and is archived by the 

BioWatch jurisdiction for a period of 

one year. The BioWatch Program 

reimburses participating jurisdictions 

for the cost of collection and laboratory 

analysis activities, including the 

preparation of the filter log form and 

other documentation. The creation of a 

written record for each sample is 

required to support law enforcement 

activities, including criminal 

prosecution in the case of a deliberate 

release of a biological agent. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

which: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the
