FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Duane Davis, Section Chief, FEMA, 

Grant Programs Directorate, 202–680– 

4060, duane.davis@fema.dhs.gov. You 

may contact the Information 

Management Division for copies of the 

proposed collection of information at 

email address: FEMA-InformationCollections-Management@fema.dhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

102 of the Maritime Transportation 

Security Act of 2002, as amended (46 

U.S.C. 70107), authorizes the PSGP to 

provide for the risk-based allocation of 

funds to implement Area Maritime 

Transportation Security Plans and 

facility security plans among port 

authorities, facility operators, and State 

and local government agencies required 

to provide port security services and to 

train law enforcement personnel under 

46 U.S.C. 70132. Before awarding a 

grant under the program, the Secretary 

for Homeland Security shall provide for 

review and comment by the appropriate 

Federal Maritime Security Coordinators 

and the Maritime Administrator. In 

administering the grant program, the 

Secretary shall consider national 

economic, energy, and strategic defense 

concerns based upon the most current 

risk assessments available. 

The PSGP is a Department of 

Homeland Security grant program that 

focuses on infrastructure protection 

activities. The PSGP is one tool in the 

comprehensive set of measures 

authorized by Congress and 

implemented by the Administration to 

strengthen the Nation’s critical 

infrastructure against risks associated 

with potential terrorist attacks. The bulk 

of U.S. critical infrastructure is owned 

and/or operated by state, local and 

private sector partners. The PSGP 

provides funds to state, local, and 

private sector partners to support 

increased port-wide risk management 

and protect critical surface 

transportation infrastructure from acts 

of terrorism, major disasters, and other 

emergencies. 

FEMA is making two changes with 

this revision. First, FEMA is removing 

the template for a Memorandum of 

Understanding (or Agreement) from this 

collection because this informal 

template has not been required in Fiscal 

Years 2022 or 2023. Second, FEMA is 

introducing an extension request form 

to help reviewers understand the nature 

and cause of performance delays, inform 

GPD of grant recipients who are failing 

to meet policy and legislative grant 

requirements, and streamline current 

processes. 

This proposed information collection 

previously published in the Federal 

Register on September 6, 2023, at 88 FR 

60964 with a 60-day public comment 

period. No comments were received. 

The purpose of this notice is to notify 

the public that FEMA will submit the 

information collection abstracted below 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

for review and clearance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Agency has initiated a Citizens 

Academy to inform the public about its 

mission, focused on participation from 

local community leaders. The academy 

will take place in local Agency field 

offices. Prior to participating, applicants 

will need to provide information as 

their community leadership role and 

provide PII so that a background 

investigation can be conducted to check 

for criminal history, open warrants, etc. 

The application allows for the Agency 

to gather the information necessary for 

each applicant to determine if they are 

eligible for participation. Authority to 

collect the information sought on this 

form is derived from title 28 U.S.C. 

599A, 28 CFR 0.130, and 18 U.S.C. 

3056. 

This will be a new collection of 

information. The Agency has initiated a 

Citizens Academy for local community 

members, who will need to fill out an 

application to express interest and to 

provide PII for the Agency to initiate a 

background investigation for the 

applicants prior to participating in the 

USSS Citizens Academy. The 

information will be gathered by 

electronic submission of the USSS 

Citizens Academy Application to local 

Agency Field Offices. Applicant 

information will also be used to contact 

any applicants placed on a wait list to 

join future USSS Citizens Academies. 

All information collected will be via 

electronic submission. The applicant 

will receive a PDF form via email to 

complete and submit to the agency. All 

respondents are individuals, not small 

businesses/entities. 

The collection will only occur one 

time per year upon initial application to 

the Agency requesting to participate in 

the USSS Citizens Academy. There 

would be no way to reduce the 

frequency or else community members 

would not be able to apply for the USSS 

Citizens Academy. There is no change 

in the burden as this is a new collection. 

While the Agency does not provide 

any assurance of confidentiality, 

information provided by the 

respondents will be protected from 

disclosure to the extent appropriate 

under the applicable provisions of the 

Freedom of Information Act and the 

Privacy Act of 1974. Personally 

identifying information will be collected 

and transmitted in accordance with the 

Privacy Act. However, to the extent that 

the information collected is Sensitive 

Security Information (SSI) as defined in 

49 CFR part 1520, Protection of 

Sensitive Security Information, such 

information is protected from public 

disclosure. 

The application provides a Privacy 

Act Statement and requests signed 

Consent to collect the information. 

Further, this collection is covered under 

DHS/ALL–023—Department of 

Homeland Security Personnel Security 

Management, which is the baseline 

system for personnel security activities 

to ensure that all DHS components 

follow the same privacy rules for 

collecting and handling personnel 

security management records (74 FR 

3084, January 16, 2009). 

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.

Status—Correction 

AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and

SUMMARY: This document corrects a 

technical error that appears in the 

USCIS notice titled ‘‘Extension and 

Redesignation of Venezuela for

their related employment authorization 

document (EAD). This correction only 

affects individuals with an initial 

Venezuela TPS application (Form I–821)

application (Form I–765) that was 

pending as of October 3, 2023.
