Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 90 / Thursday, May 8, 2008 / Notices 26087 

SUMMARY: The Naval Research Advisory 

Committee (NRAC) will meet to discuss 

classified information from government 

organizations and proprietary 

information from commercial 

organizations. With the exception of 

participants’ registration and 

introduction/welcoming remarks on 

Monday, June 16, 2008, all sessions of 

the meeting will be devoted to briefings, 

discussions and technical examination 

of information related to the study of 

undersea maritime domain awareness 

technologies and disruptive commercial 

technologies to U.S. Navy and U.S. 

Marine combat operations. Discussions 

will focus on the exploitation of 

physical vulnerabilities and the tactical 

applications of known and emerging 

technologies. Each session will examine 

vulnerabilities of individuals and 

systems, and how the enemy is 

exploiting these vulnerabilities. 

The sessions will also include 

proprietary information regarding 

technology applications and systems 

under development in the private sector 

between competing companies. The 

sessions will also focus on the 

assessment of the emerging concepts of 

operations in each of these areas and 

evaluate appropriate options in such 

areas as: training, S&T funding 

allocation, technology monitoring, and 

progress assessments; and probable time 

frames for transformation and 

implementation. 

The sessions will also identify, 

review, and assess challenges with the 

utilization and fielding of various 

technology applications.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description 

The information collection submitted 

for OMB review contains the following: 

1. Collection of Information: FERC–

603 ‘‘Critical Energy Infrastructure 

Information.’’

2. Sponsor: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission. 

3. Control No.: 1902–0197. 

The Commission is now requesting 

that OMB approve with a three-year 

extension of the expiration date, with no 

changes to the existing collection. The 

information filed with the Commission 

is mandatory. 

4. Necessity of the Collection of 

Information: The information is used by 

the Commission to implement 

procedures for gaining access to critical 

energy infrastructure information (CEII) 

that would not otherwise be available 

under the Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552). On February 21, 

2003, the Commission issued Order No. 

630 (68 FR 9857–9873), and then issued 

subsequent Order Nos. 630–A (68 FR 

46456–60), and 649 (69 FR 48386–91) to 

address the appropriate treatment of 

CEII in the aftermath of the September 

11, 2001 terrorist attacks and to restrict 

unrestrained general access due to the 

ongoing terrorism threat. These steps 

enable the Commission to keep sensitive 

infrastructure information out of the 

public domain, decreasing the 

likelihood that such information could 

be used to plan or execute terrorist 

attacks. The process adopted in these 

orders is a more efficient alternative for 

handling request for previously public 

documents than FOIA. 

The Commission has defined CEII to 

include information about existing or 

proposed critical infrastructure that (i) 

Relates to the production, generation, 

transportation, transmission, or 

distribution of energy; (ii) could be 

useful to a person planning an attack on 

critical infrastructure, (iii) is exempt 

from mandatory disclosure under the 

Freedom of Information Act, and (iv) 

does not simply give the location of the 

critical infrastructure. Critical 

infrastructure means existing and 

proposed systems and assets, whether 

physical or virtual, the incapacity or 

destruction of which would negatively 

affect security, economic security, 

public health or safety, or any 

combination of those matters. A person 

seeking access to CEII may file a request 

for that information by providing 

information about their identity and 

reason for the need for the information. 

Through this process, the Commission 

is able to review the requester’s need for 

the information against the sensitivity of 

the information. The Commission 

implements these requirements in 18 

CFR 388.113 of its regulations. 

5. Respondent Description: The 

respondent universe currently 

comprises all entities requesting access 

to CEII information submitted to or 

issued by the Commission. 

6. Estimated Burden: 46 total hours, 

182 respondents (average per year), 1 

response per respondent, and .25 hours 

per response (average). 

7. Estimated Cost Burden to 

respondents: The estimated total cost to 

respondents is $3,646. The cost per 

respondent = $18. (60 hours @ $61 

hourly rate ÷ 200). 

Statutory Authority: 15 U.S.C. 717, et seq., 

16 U.S.C. 791a, et seq., section 313(b) of the 

Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 824 l(b) and 

section 19(b) of the Natural Gas Act, 15 

U.S.C. 717r(b).
