AGENCY: Department of Homeland

ACTION: 60-Day Notice and request for 

comments; Extension with change, 

1601–0006. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland 

Security, DHS, will submit the 

following Information Collection 

Request (ICR) to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 

35). 

DATES: Comments are encouraged and 

will be accepted until July 1, 2011. This 

process is conducted in accordance with 

5 CFR 1320.1. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

questions about this Information 

Collection Request should be forwarded 

to DHS, DHS Attn.: Daniel Yereb, 

djy1@dhs.gov, 703–647–8052. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS), Office of Health Affairs/OCMO 

Early Detection Division will collect 

information from BioWatch 

jurisdictions. The BioWatch Program 

operates aerosol collector equipment in 

approximately 30 U.S. jurisdictions to 

monitor for the presence of organisms 

that may be related to the deliberate 

release of a select subset of biological 

threat agents. Information is collected in 

writing by a representative of a 

BioWatch jurisdiction (either an 

employee, or a contractor) assigned 

responsibility for installing and 

removing filters from aerosol collection 

devices and transportation to local 

laboratories for sample analysis. A 

standard filter log form is completed for 

each sample and is archived by the 

BioWatch jurisdiction for a period of 

one year. The BioWatch Program 

reimburses participating jurisdictions 

for the cost of collection and laboratory 

analysis activities, including the 

preparation of the filter log form and 

other documentation. The creation of a 

written record for each sample is 

required to support law enforcement 

activities, including criminal 

prosecution in the case of a deliberate 

release of a biological agent. 

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.
