85980 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 209 / Tuesday, October 29, 2024 / Notices 

Data by Countries of Concern or 

Covered Persons, [DOJ Docket No. NSD– 

104, RIN 1124–AA01], published in 

today’s proposed rule section of the 

Federal Register for public comment. 

1. Are the proposed security 

requirements sufficiently robust to 

mitigate the risks of access to 

Americans’ bulk sensitive personal data 

or government-related data by countries 

of concern? 

2. Are the proposed organizationaland system-level requirements sufficient 

to provide U.S. persons engaging in 

restricted transactions confidence that 

logical and physical access to covered 

data is sufficiently managed to deny 

access to covered persons or countries 

of concern? 

3. Do the security requirements 

provide sufficient flexibility, clarity, 

and specificity for the types of restricted 

transactions typically engaged in by 

U.S. entities, including to avoid overly 

burdening commercial activity not 

involving covered data while providing 

sufficient level of detail to aid in 

compliance verification? 

4. Are there other data-level 

requirements (beyond those listed in 

Section II of the proposed security 

requirements) that CISA should 

consider that would enable U.S. entities 

to engage in commercial transactions 

without revealing covered data to 

covered persons or countries of 

concern? 

5. The current approach allows for 

flexibility to determine which data-level 

requirements are sufficient to fully and 

effectively prevent access to covered 

data by covered persons and/or 

countries of concern. Are there datalevel requirements that CISA should 

consider requiring in all cases? 

6. What additional interpretive 

guidance would be helpful to U.S. 

entities in determining which data-level 

requirements should be applied based 

on the nature of the transaction and the 

data at issue? 

7. What substantive requirements 

should CISA consider in Section II.C. to 

further define appropriate privacyenhancing technologies that may be 

used within restricted transactions? 

8. Should the standards for data 

aggregation in Section II.A differ from 

the proposed definition of bulk in the 

DOJ regulations? If so, are there 

requirements CISA should impose for 

U.S. persons engaged in restricted 

transactions to ensure that covered data 

is not re-constructable through 

aggregation while permitting more 

granular thresholds? 

9. Are there additional substantive 

standards that should be added to the 

data-level requirements in Section II to 

better ensure their implementation can 

achieve the policy goal of not permitting 

access to covered data by covered 

persons or countries of concern? 

10. To what extent could the 

measures described currently be 

reversed, broken, or circumvented by a 

technologically sophisticated actor? Are 

there additional conditions that would 

better or more appropriately mitigate 

this risk? If so, please describe them in 

detail. 

11. To what extent could the 

measures described be rendered 

reversible, breakable, or able to be 

circumvented by anticipated future 

technology advances? What type of 

future technology advances would pose 

the greatest risk to these types of 

protective measures? 

12. Would it be useful to the entities 

likely to undertake restricted 

transactions if CISA mapped these 

requirements to ISO–27001 or example 

controls from NIST Special Publication 

800–171 (e.g., to facilitate compliance 

audits)?

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA; 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 

seq.) and its implementing regulations 

at 5 CFR 1320, all information 

collections require approval under the 

PRA. We may not conduct or sponsor 

and you are not required to respond to 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

As part of our continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burdens, we invite the public and other 

Federal agencies to comment on new, 

proposed, revised, and continuing 

collections of information. This helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand our 

information collection requirements and 

provide the requested data in the 

desired format. 

On August 7, 2024, we published in 

the Federal Register (89 FR 64476) a 

notice of our intent to request that OMB 

renew this information collection. In 

that notice, we solicited comments for 

60 days, ending on October 7, 2024. In 

a continued effort to increase public 

awareness of, and participation in, our 

public commenting processes associated 

with information collection requests, 

the Service also published the Federal 

Register notice on Regulations.gov 

(Docket No. FWS–HQ–MB–2024–0093) 

to provide the public with an additional 

method to submit comments (in 

addition to the typical U.S. mail 

submission method). We received an 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 209 / Tuesday, October 29, 2024 / Notices 85981 

anonymous comment in response to that 

notice which did not address the 

information collection requirements; 

therefore, no response is required. 

We are especially interested in public 

comment addressing the following: 

(1) Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether or not the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) How might the agency 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 submission of response. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. We will include or 

summarize each comment in our request 

to OMB to approve this ICR. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

email address, or other personal 

identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Abstract: The Migratory Bird Treaty 

Act (MBTA; 16 U.S.C. 703 et seq.) 

prohibits the unauthorized take of 

migratory birds and authorizes the 

Secretary of the Interior to regulate take 

of migratory birds in the United States. 

Under this authority, we control the 

hunting of migratory game birds through 

regulations in 50 CFR part 20. On 

January 1, 1991, we banned lead shot for 

hunting waterfowl and coots in the 

United States. 

This is a non-form collection. 

Regulations at 50 CFR 20.134 outline 

the application and approval process for 

new types of nontoxic shot. When 

considering approval of a candidate 

material as nontoxic, we must ensure 

that it is not hazardous in the 

environment and that secondary 

exposure (ingestion of spent shot or its 

components) is not a hazard to 

migratory birds. To make that decision, 

we require each applicant to provide 

information about the solubility and 

toxicity of the candidate material. 

Additionally, for law enforcement 

purposes, a noninvasive field detection 

device must be available to distinguish 

candidate shot from lead shot. This 

information constitutes the bulk of an 

application for approval of nontoxic 

shot. The Director uses the data in the 

application to decide whether to 

approve a material as nontoxic. 

Title of Collection: Approval 

Procedures for Nontoxic Shot and Shot 

Coatings (50 CFR 20.134). 

OMB Control Number: 1018–0067. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Businesses that produce and/or market 

approved nontoxic shot types or 

nontoxic shot coatings. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 1. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 1. 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: 3,200 hours. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 3,200 hours. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain a benefit. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour 

Burden Cost: $26,630 ($1,630 

application processing fee and $25,000 

for solubility testing). 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor and a person is not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

The authority for this action is the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
