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, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Information Collection Requirement 

Purpose and Description of Data 

Collection 

The National Explosives Detection 

Canine Team Program (NEDCTP) is a 

partnership between TSA, airports, and 

local law enforcement. The NEDCTP 

supports TSA’s mission by preparing 

law enforcement canine-handlers, who 

are not Federal employees, and canines 

to serve on the front lines of America’s 

War on Terror. These canine teams 

(handler and canine) are trained to 

quickly locate and identify dangerous 

materials that may present a threat to 

transportation systems. 

For this purpose, TSA collects the 

information pursuant to Public Law 

104–264, Federal Aviation 

Reauthorization Act of 1996; Public Law 

107–296, Homeland Security Act of 

2002; and Public Law 107–71, Aviation 

and Transportation Security Act. TSA 

electronically collects and stores the 

Social Security number, credit card 

number, name, employment information 

(that is, airport ID and canine unit), and 

office phone and fax numbers of all 

canine handlers who apply to 

participate in the program. This 

information collection is crucial, as it is 

utilized to set up training, travel, and 

create a unique profile for each handler 

that allows them access into the Canine 

Web Site (CWS). The CWS is a Webbased application that serves as the 

collaboration tool for TSA and canine 

handlers across the Nation. The CWS 

serves as the main source of information 

for all NEDCTP records and operations. 

From the CWS, canine handlers, 

supervisors, and trainers can access 

helpful information pertinent to canine 

training, travel to training, 

reimbursement, message forums, user 

profiles (containing a limited amount of 

personal information, profiles of dogs, 

teams, and agencies), help desk 

messages, calendar data, equipment 

inventory, training aid inventory, 

training exercises, and daily utilization 

of canine teams. Without access to the 

CWS, canine handlers will not be able 

to perform their jobs or receive proper 

guidance and support from TSA. 

Use of Results 

TSA uses the information collected to 

arrange the handler’s travel for training, 

and later on, to allow the handler access 

to the CWS. Once travel has been 

arranged, TSA uses the stored 

information to create a unique profile 

for each handler, which in turn allows 

for the issuing of a unique login 

credential into the CWS. The stored data 

is viewable only by the individual and 

their local law enforcement agency 

canine unit supervisor (a non-TSA 

employee) and authorized TSA 

personnel responsible for administering 

the program. The annual burden 

estimate is approximately 14 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department will submit the proposed 

information collection to OMB for 

review, as required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35, as amended). 

This Notice is soliciting comments 

from members of the public and 

affecting agencies concerning the 

proposed collection of information to: 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with 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; (3) Enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) Minimize the 

burden of the collection of information

through the use of appropriate

This Notice also lists the following 

information: 

Title of Proposal: Application for 

Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard 

Control Grant Programs and Quality 

Addurance Plans. 

OMB Control Number, if Applicable: 

2539–0015. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use: This 

information is required in conjunction 

with the issuance of Notices of Funding 

Availability for approximately 

$180,000,000 for Healthy Homes and 

Lead Hazard Control Programs that are 

authorized under Title X of the Housing 

and Community Development Act of 

1992, Public Law 102–550, Section 

1011, the Housing and Urban 

Development Act of 1970, Sections 501 

and 502, and other legislation. 

After the award of grants, HUD’s 

Office of Healthy Homes and Lead 

Hazard Control requires its Healthy 

Homes Demonstration, Healthy Homes 

Technical Studies grantees, and Lead 

Technical Studies grantees which are 

conducting research or significant 

evaluation activities, to submit a Quality 

Assurance Plan (QAP) to the Office for 

approval before they initiate data 

collection. This requirement also 

applies to Office of Healthy Homes and 

Lead Hazard Control contractors who 

conduct such research or evaluation 

activities. This requirement was 

established because quality assurance 

procedures ensure the accuracy and 

validity of data. The use of quality 

assurance plan templates helps to 

ensure that quality assurance activities 

are well planned and thorough, and 

standardizes the formatting of plans, 

which aides both the respondents in 

plan development and HUD staff in 

their review. The use of different 

templates for technical studies and 

demonstration projects was designed to 

reduce respondent burden by requiring 

more detailed information only for the 

technical studies (research) projects, 

consistent with their more rigorous 

quality assurance requirements. 

Agency Form Numbers, if Applicable: 

HUD–96008, 96012, 96013, 96014, 

96015, 96016, and standard grant forms.
