Program (HMGP), authorized by 

sections 203 and 404 of the Robert T. 

Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq., 

provide funding for eligible, feasible, 

and cost-effective activities that have 

the purpose of reducing or eliminating 

risks to life and property from hazards 

and their effects. One such activity is 

the implementation of wind retrofit 

projects to protect existing one- and 

two-family residential buildings (not 

including manufactured housing) from 

hurricane-force wind-related damages. 

FEMA has prepared a proposed 

Mitigation Policy to address PDM and 

HMGP programmatic guidelines for this 

project type. The policy will help 

ensure national consistency in the use 

of funds for this hazard mitigation 

activity. The proposed policy identifies 

key project requirements specific to this 

hazard mitigation activity including: 

Eligible activities and Mitigation 

Packages, building evaluation criteria, 

project application requirements, and 

eligible and ineligible costs. The 

proposed policy also provides the 

public, building professionals and 

decision-makers with direction on the 

implementation steps required for a 

complete wind retrofit project 

subapplication. 

Thousands of existing homes in the 

hurricane-prone region are vulnerable to 

the effects of coastal high-wind events 

and are not designed to the same level 

of wind resistance required by today’s 

codes and standards. FEMA concluded 

that additional technical guidance is 

needed to facilitate the development of 

hazard mitigation retrofit projects for 

such residential buildings. As a result, 

the proposed policy relies on 

publication FEMA P–804, Wind Retrofit 

Guide for Residential Buildings, as a 

guideline for these wind retrofit 

projects. FEMA P–804 provides the 

technical guidance needed to promote 

and properly perform wind retrofit 

projects for existing one- and two-family 

residential buildings. The publication 

offers a unified technical and 

programmatic solution to residential 

wind retrofit projects using three 

Mitigation Packages (Basic, 

Intermediate, and Advanced). Each 

successive package contains retrofit 

standards that increase the level of 

protection for wind-related damages to 

the building. 

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 5133; 5170(c).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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 is 

available at http://www.reginfo.gov. 

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,

Information Collection Requirement 

Title: Air Cargo Security 

Requirements. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

OMB Control Number: 1652–0040. 

Forms(s): Aviation Security Known 

Shipper Verification Form, Aircraft 

Operator or Air Carrier Reporting 

Template, Security Threat Assessment 

Application, Aviation Security Known 

Shipper Verification Form. 

Affected Public: The collection of 

information that make up this ICR 

involve regulated entities including 

airports, passenger aircraft operators, 

foreign air carriers, indirect air carriers 

and all-cargo carriers operating under a 

TSA-approved security program. 

Abstract: TSA is seeking renewal of 

an expiring collection of information. 

Congress set forth in the Aviation and 

Transportation Security Act (ATSA), 

Pub. L. 107–71, two specific 

requirements for TSA in the area of air 

cargo security: (1) To provide for 

screening of all property, including U.S. 

mail, cargo, carry-on and checked 

baggage, and other articles, that will be 

carried aboard a passenger aircraft; and 

(2) to establish a system to screen, 

inspect, report, or otherwise ensure the 

security of all cargo that is to be 

transported in all-cargo aircraft as soon 

as practicable. In the Implementing 

Recommendations of the 9/11 

Commission Act of 2007, Public Law 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 79 / Tuesday, April 24, 2012 / Notices 24507 

110–53, Congress requires that 50 

percent of cargo transported on 

passenger aircraft is screened not later 

than February 2009, and 100 percent of 

such cargo is screened not later than 

August 2010. 

TSA must proceed with this ICR for 

this program in order to continue to 

meet the Congressional mandates and 

current regulations (49 CFR 1542.209, 

1544.205, 1546.205, and part 1548) that 

enable them to accept, screen, and 

transport air cargo. The uninterrupted 

collection of this information will allow 

TSA to continue to ensure 

implementation of these vital security 

measures for the protection of the 

traveling public. 

This information collection requires 

the ‘‘regulated entities,’’ who may 

include passenger and all-cargo aircraft 

operators, foreign air carriers, and 

indirect air carriers (IACs), to 

implement a standard security program 

or to submit modifications to TSA for 

approval, and update such programs as 

necessary. The regulated entities must 

also collect personal information and 

submit such information to TSA so that 

TSA may conduct security threat 

assessments (STAs) for individuals with 

unescorted access to cargo, and any 

individual who has responsibility for 

screening cargo under 49 CFR parts 

1544, 1546, or 1548. Aircraft operators 

and foreign air carriers must report the 

volume of accepted and screened cargo 

transported on passenger aircraft. 

Further, TSA will collect identifying 

information for both companies and 

individuals whom aircraft operators, 

foreign air carriers, and IACs have 

qualified to ship cargo on passenger 

aircraft. This information is primarily 

collected electronically via the Known 

Shipper Management System (KSMS). 

Whenever the information cannot be 

entered into KSMS, the regulated entity 

must conduct a physical visit of the 

shipper using the Aviation Security 

Known Shipper Verification Form and 

subsequently enter that information into 

KSMS. These regulated entities must 

also maintain records pertaining to 

security programs, training, and 

compliance. The forms used in this 

collection of information include the 

Aviation Security Known Shipper 

Verification Form, Cargo Reporting 

Template, and the Security Threat 

Assessment Application. 

Number of Respondents: 4,890. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An 

estimated 73,567 hours. 

Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on April 19, 

2012.
