Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 238 / Tuesday, December 12, 2006 / Notices 74489 

1Commissioner Thomas H. Moore filed a 

statement which is available from the Office of the 

Secretary or on the Commission’s Web site at 

http://www.cpsc.gov. 

(Commission or CPSC) has received a 

petition (HP 07–1) requesting that the 

Commission amend its regulation under 

the Federal Hazardous Substances Act 

(FHSA) to allow the use of the term 

‘‘detonator’’ to be used interchangeably 

with the term ‘‘blasting cap.’’ The 

Commission solicits written comments 

concerning the petition.1

DATES: The Office of the Secretary must 

receive comments on the petition by 

February 12, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Comments on the petition 

may be filed by e-mail to 

cpsc-os@cpsc.gov. Comments may also 

be filed by facsimile to (301) 504–0127, 

or delivered or mailed, preferably in five 

copies, to the Office of the Secretary, 

Consumer Product Safety Commission, 

4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD 

20814, telephone (301) 504–7923. 

Comments should be captioned 

‘‘Petition HP 07–1, Petition Requesting 

Labeling Amendment of Blasting Caps.’’

The petition is available on the CPSC 

Web site at http://www.cpsc.gov. A 

request for a hard copy of the petition 

may be directed to the Office of the 

Secretary.

Commission, 4330 East West Highway,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Institute of Makers of Explosives (IME) 

submitted correspondence requesting 

that the Commission amend its 

regulation at 16 CFR 1500.83(a)(35), to 

allow the use of the term ‘‘detonator’’ to 

be used interchangeably with the term 

‘‘blasting cap.’’ IME requests the 

addition of the term ‘‘detonator’’ to the 

regulation as follows (added text is 

underlined): 

Individual detonators or blasting caps 

are exempt from bearing the statement 

‘‘Keep out of the reach of children,’’ or 

its practical equivalent, if: 

(i) Each detonator or cap bears 

conspicuously in the largest type size 

practicable the statement 

‘‘DANGEROUS—BLASTING CAPS—

EXPLOSIVE’’ or ‘‘DANGEROUS—

DETONATOR—EXPLOSIVE’’; 

IME states that the terms ‘‘detonator’’

and ‘‘blasting cap’’ are generally 

synonymous in the explosive 

community. IME asserts that the term 

‘‘detonator’’ may be interpreted as being 

more inclusive and is more commonly 

used than the term ‘‘blasting cap.’’ In 

order to minimize the possibility that an 

individual may not take recommended 

precautions when handling initiating 

devices, IME states that it has 

encouraged the use of the term 

‘‘detonator’’ instead of the term 

‘‘blasting cap’’ whenever possible. 

According to IME, there is no practical 

benefit to requiring the use of both the 

term ‘‘detonator’’ and ‘‘blasting cap’’ on 

printed warnings given the limited 

space available on small detonators. 

IME also does not believe there is any 

practical benefit to replacing the term 

‘‘blasting cap’’ with ‘‘detonator’’ at this 

time. 

Interested parties may obtain a copy 

of the petition on the CPSC Web site at 

http://www.cpsc.gov or by writing or 

calling the Office of the Secretary, 

Consumer Product Safety Commission, 

4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD

Service Industrial Security Facility 

Clearance Survey Data,’’ OMB No. 

0704–0427. 

Needs and Uses: The conduct of an 

Industrial Security Review and/or 

Industrial Security Facility Security 

Survey assists in determining whether a 

contractor is eligible to establish its 

facility security clearance and/or retain 

its participation in the National 

Industrial Security Program (NISP). It is 

also the basis for verifying whether 

contractors are appropriately 

implementing NISP security 

requirements. These requirements are 

necessary in order to preserve and 

maintain the security of the United 

States through establishing standards to 

prevent the improper disclosure of 

classified information. 

In accordance with Department of 

Defense (DoD), 5220.22–R, ‘‘Industrial 

Security Regulation,’’ DSS is required to 

maintain a record of the results of 

surveys and security reviews. 

Documentation for each survey and/or 

security review will be compiled 

addressing areas applicable to the 

contractor’s security program. Portions 

of the data collected will be stored in 

databases. All data collected will be 

handled and marked, ‘‘For Official Use 

Only.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

Executive Order (EO) 12829, 

‘‘National Industrial Security Program 

(NISP),’’ dated January 6, 1993, as 

amended by EO 12885 dated December 

14, 1993, established the NISP to 

safeguard Federal Government classified 

information released to contractors, 

licensees and grantees of the U.S. 

Government. Section 202(a) of EO 12829 

stipulates that the Secretary of Defense 

shall serve as the Executive Agent for 

inspecting and monitoring the 

contractors, licensees and grantees who 

require or will require access, to or who 

store or will store classified information; 

and for determining the eligibility for 

access to classified information of 

contractors, licensees, and grantees and 

their respective employees. The specific 

requirements necessary to protect 

classified information released to 

private industry are set forth in DoD 

5220.22M, ‘‘National Industrial Security 

Program Operating Manual (NISPOM),’’

dated February 28, 2006. The Executive 

Agent has the authority to issue, after 

consultation with affected agencies, 

standard forms or other standardization 

that will promote the implementation of 

the NISP. Contractors operating under 

DoD security cognizance are subject to 

an initial facility clearance survey and 

periodic government security reviews to 

determine their eligibility to participate 

in the NISP and ensure that safeguards 

employed are adequate for the 

protection of classified information. 

DoD Directive 5105.42, ‘‘Defense 

Security Service,’’ dated May 13, 1999, 

delineates the mission, functions and 

responsibilities of DSS. DSS is an 

Agency of the Department of Defense 

under authority, direction and control of 

the Under Secretary of Defense for 

Intelligence. DSS functions and 

responsibilities include the 

administration and implementation of 

the Defense portion of the NISP 

pursuant to Executive Order 12829. 

DSS is the office of record for the 

maintenance of information pertaining 

to contractor facility clearance records 

and industrial security information 

regarding cleared contractors under its 

cognizance. To the extent possible, 

information required as part of the 

survey or security review is obtained as 

a result of observation by the 

representative of the CSA or its 

designated Cognizant Security Office. 

Some of the information may be 

obtained based on conferences with Key 

Management Personnel and/or other 

employees of the company. The 

information is used to respond to all 

inquires regarding the facility clearance 

status and classified information storage 

capability of cleared contractors. It is 

also used to assess and/or advise 

Government Contracting Activities 

regarding any particular contractor’s 

continued ability to protect classified 

information.

is made of the availability for licensing 

of the invention set forth in PCT/ 

US2005/021195 entitled ‘‘Ballistic 

Impact Detection System,’’ filed June 16, 

2005. The United States Government, as 

represented by the Secretary of the 

Army, has U.S. and foreign rights in this 

invention. 

ADDRESSES: Commander, U.S. Army

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A 

wearable ballistic impact protection 

system detects impacts to a body. The 

system includes multiple sensors for 

detecting vibration. The sensed 

vibrations are converted to electrical 

signals which are filtered. Electronic 

components are provided to determine 

whether the filtered signals have 

frequency and amplitude characteristics 

of impact that cause injury to a body. 

Preferably, the sensors are Piezo-electric 

film sensing elements. Information 

regarding the extent of the impact and 

injuries to the body may be transmitted 

to a remote location so that medics or 

other personnel may be informed to the 

extent of injuries to the body so that 

they may provide medical assistance.
