8 ‘‘[T]he individual designated by the President in 

subsection (c)(2) [of section 708 of the DPA] to 

administer the voluntary agreement, or plan of 

action.’’ 50 U.S.C. 4558(h)(7). 

the Voluntary Agreement is effective 

until August 17, 2025, and may be 

extended subject to additional approval 

by the Attorney General after 

consultation with the Chairman of the 

Federal Trade Commission. The 

Agreement may be used to prepare for 

or respond to any pandemic, including 

COVID–19, during that time. 

On December 7, 2020, the first plan of 

action under the Voluntary 

Agreement—the Plan of Action to 

Establish a National Strategy for the 

Manufacture, Allocation, and 

Distribution of Personal Protective 

Equipment (PPE) to Respond to COVID– 

19 (PPE Plan of Action)—was finalized.5

The PPE Plan of Action established 

several sub-committees under the 

Voluntary Agreement, focusing on 

different aspects of the PPE Plan of 

Action. 

On May 24, 2021, four additional 

plans of action under the Voluntary 

Agreement—the Plan of Action to 

Establish a National Strategy for the 

Manufacture, Allocation, and 

Distribution of Diagnostic Test Kits and 

other Testing Components to respond to 

COVID–19, the Plan of Action to 

Establish a National Strategy for the 

Manufacture, Allocation, and 

Distribution of Drug Products, Drug 

Substances, and Associated Medical 

Devices to respond to COVID–19, the 

Plan of Action to Establish a National 

Strategy for the Manufacture, 

Allocation, and Distribution of Medical 

Devices to respond to COVID–19, and 

the Plan of Action to Establish a 

National Strategy for the Manufacture, 

Allocation, and Distribution of Medical 

Gases to respond to COVID–19—were 

finalized.6 These plans of action 

established several sub-committees 

under the Voluntary Agreement, 

focusing on different aspects of each 

plan of action. 

The meetings are chaired by the 

FEMA Administrator’s delegates from 

the Office of Response and Recovery 

(ORR) and Office of Policy and Program 

Analysis (OPPA), attended by the 

Attorney General’s delegates from the 

U.S. Department of Justice, and attended 

by the Chairman of the Federal Trade 

Commission’s delegates. In 

implementing the Voluntary Agreement, 

FEMA adheres to all procedural 

requirements of 50 U.S.C. 4558 and 44 

CFR part 332. 

Meeting Objectives: The objectives of 

the meetings are as follows: 

1. Convene the Requirements SubCommittees under the Personal 

Protective Equipment (PPE) and 

Diagnostic Test Kits Plans of Action to 

establish priorities related to the 

COVID–19 response under the 

Voluntary Agreement. 

2. Gather Requirements SubCommittee Participants and Attendees 

to ask targeted questions for situational 

awareness. 

3. Identify pandemic-related 

information gaps and areas that merit 

sharing by holding quarterly meetings of 

the Requirements Sub-Committees with 

key stakeholders. 

4. Identify potential Objectives and 

Actions that should be completed under 

the Requirements Sub-Committees. 

Meetings Closed to the Public: By 

default, the DPA requires meetings held 

to implement a voluntary agreement or 

plan of action be open to the public.7

However, attendance may be limited if 

the Sponsor 8 of the voluntary 

agreement finds that the matter to be 

discussed at a meeting falls within the 

purview of matters described in 5 U.S.C. 

552b(c), such as trade secrets and 

commercial or financial information. 

The Sponsor of the Voluntary 

Agreement, the FEMA Administrator, 

found that these meetings to implement 

the Voluntary Agreement involve 

matters which fall within the purview of 

matters described in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c) 

and the meetings are therefore closed to 

the public. 

Specifically, these meetings may 

require participants to disclose trade 

secrets or commercial or financial 

information that is privileged or 

confidential. Disclosure of such 

information allows for meetings to be 

closed to the public pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

552b(c)(4). 

The success of the Voluntary 

Agreement depends wholly on the 

willing participation of the private 

sector participants. Failure to close 

these meetings to the public could 

reduce active participation by the 

signatories due to a perceived risk that 

sensitive company information could be 

released to the public. A public 

disclosure of a private sector 

participant’s information executed 

prematurely could reduce trust and 

support for the Voluntary Agreement. 

A resulting loss of support by the 

participants for the Voluntary 

Agreement would significantly hinder 

the implementation of the Agency’s 

objectives. Thus, these meeting closures 

are permitted pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

552b(c)(9)(B).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comment 

Written comments and suggestions 

from the public and affected agencies 

concerning the proposed collection of 

information should address one or more 

of the following four points: 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
8598 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 31 / Tuesday, February 15, 2022 / Notices 

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 submission of 

responses. 

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(1) Type of Information Collection: 

Revision of a Currently Approved 

Collection. 

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: 

Designation of Attorney in Fact/ 

Revocation of Attorney in Fact. 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the 

Department of Homeland Security 

sponsoring the collection: I–312/I–312A; 

U.S. Immigration and Customs 

Enforcement. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: State, Local, or Tribal 

Government. Section 103.6, the 

Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 

provides for the posting of surety or 

cash bonds. All bonds posted in 

immigration cases shall be executed on 

Form I–352, Immigration Bond, and 

secured with some form of collateral by 

an Obligor. In the case of a cash bond, 

the Obligor will deposit with U.S. 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement 

(ICE) the face value of the bond. The 

Obligor can designate a third party as an 

Attorney in Fact to accept on their 

behalf the return of the collateral 

security deposited to secure the surety 

bond upon cancellation of the bond or 

performance of the Obligor. The Form I– 

312, Designation of Attorney in Fact, is 

the instrument used by the Obligor to 

officially designate their Attorney in 

Fact. Upon receipt of a properly 

executed Form I–312, ICE Financial 

Operations will remit to the Attorney in 

Fact the principal and interest on the 

security deposit in the event of a bond 

cancellation, or the interest on the 

security deposit in the event of a bond 

breach. Immigration bonds might 

remain in place for years, and Obligors 

might choose to appoint a new Attorney 

in Fact as circumstances change. To 

ensure that ICE Financial Operations 

properly executes its fiduciary duties to 

the Obligor under the Form I–352 bond 

contract, and exercises due diligence in 

ensuring that remittances are made to 

the proper person, ICE uses Form I– 

312A as the document by which the 

Obligor could expressly indicate that a 

previously valid Form I–312 Attorney in 

Fact designation had been revoked. The 

requested revisions are specific to the 

instructions concerning obligor 

requirements and the attorney’s 

authority to perform acts necessary to 

receive proceeds of the bond. There are 

revisions to the I–312 instructions. The 

revisions relate to the obligor 

requirements and to the attorney’s 

authority to perform acts necessary to 

received bond proceeds. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: 193 responses at 1 hour (60 

minutes) per response. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: 193 annual burden hours. 

(7) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in cost) associated with the 

collections: $6,370. 

Dated: February 10, 2022.
