3. Federal/State Cooperative 

Partnering Efforts. The Coast Guard 

seeks a grantee to provide programs to 

encourage greater participation and 

uniformity in State boating safety 

efforts. Applicants would provide a 

forum to encourage greater uniformity of 

boating laws and regulations, 

reciprocity among jurisdictions, and 

closer cooperation and assistance in 

developing, administering, and 

enforcing Federal and State laws and 

regulations pertaining to boating safety. 

Point of Contact: Ms. Audrey Pickup, 

202–267–0872. 

4. Develop and Conduct Boating 

Accident Investigation Seminars. The 

Coast Guard seeks a grantee to develop, 

provide instructional material, and 

conduct training courses nationwide for 

boating accident investigators, including 

three courses at the U.S. Coast Guard’s 

Maritime Law Enforcement Academy in 

Charleston, South Carolina. Point of 

Contact: Mr. Rick Gipe, 202–267–0985. 

5. National Estimate of Personal 

Flotation Devices (PFDs) Wear Rate. The 

Coast Guard seeks a grantee to develop 

a statistically valid national estimate 

and evaluation of wear rates of PFDs by 

recreational boaters. Wear rates should 

be determined by actual observation of 

boaters. Point of Contact: Mr. Bruce 

Schmidt, 202–267–0955. 

6. Develop New National Boating 

Survey Instrument and Methodology. 

The Coast Guard seeks a grantee to 

develop, in liaison with multiple 

recreational boating interests, a new 

national boating survey instrument and 

methodology. This instrument and 

methodology are to be developed in 

consensus with various boating safety, 

boating industry and boating user 

groups, as well as Federal agencies and 

academia. In November 2004, a 

collective group met in East Lansing, 

Michigan to discuss boating research, 

and to recommend the highest priority 

actions that need to take place in the 

area of recreational boating research. 

This grant project is to respond to the 

recommendations provided by the 

November 2004 meeting by developing 

a survey instrument and methodology 

that will be implemented by the Coast 

Guard at a later date. Boating safety will 

be considered the main topic for the 

survey. The survey may include 

research on other recreational boating 

topics supported by other survey 

partners. Point of Contact: Mr. Barry 

Nobles, 202–267–0986. 

7. Voluntary Standards Development 

Support. The Coast Guard seeks a 

grantee to carry out a program to 

encourage active participation by 

members of the public and other 

qualified persons in the development of 

technically sound voluntary safety 

standards for boats and associated 

equipment. Point of Contact: Mr. Rick 

Gipe, 202–267–0985. 

We encourage proposals addressing 

other boating safety concerns. 

Potential grantees should focus on 

partnership, e.g., exploring other 

sources, linkages, in-kind contributions, 

cost sharing, and partnering with other 

organizations or corporations. The 

primary goal of the National 

Recreational Boating Safety Program is 

to reduce fatalities to specific levels for 

each upcoming year. With your 

application, we encourage you to list 

and describe the tools you will use to 

measure your grant’s performance 

toward achieving this goal or toward 

achieving a specific objective that will 

result in the achievement of this goal. 

For some examples of tools, we invite 

you to explore this CDC Web site:

demonstr.htm. 

Please note: We published a Notice of 

availability for FY05 funds on October 

6, 2004, 69 FR 59943. In that Notice, we 

stated that it would be the final year that 

our office would publish a notice of 

availability of funding for national 

nonprofit public service organizations 

in the Federal Register. We stated that, 

under Department of Homeland 

Security policy, we would announce 

future availability of funding 

electronically, at the Web site: 

www.grants.gov. Because the FY06 

Notice of Funds Availability is not yet 

available on that website, we are 

publishing the information in the 

Federal Register again this year to 

provide information to the public in a 

timely manner.

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. 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 

Title: Corporate Security Review 

(CSR). 

Type of Request: Renewal of one 

current public collection. 

OMB Control Number: 1652–0036. 

Forms(s): Corporate Security Review 

Form. 

Affected Public: Surface 

Transportation System Owners and 

Operators. 

Abstract: The Aviation and 

Transportation Security Act of 2001 

(ATSA) (Public Law 107–71) requires 

TSA to oversee the security of the 

nation’s surface transportation system. 

Specifically, ATSA grants TSA 

authority to execute its responsibilities 

for: 

• Enhancing security in all modes of 

transportation; 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Notices 66455 

• Assessing intelligence and other 

information in order to identify threats 

to transportation security; and 

• Coordinating countermeasures with 

other Federal agencies to address such 

threats, including the authority to 

receive, assess, and distribute 

intelligence information related to 

transportation security (49 U.S.C. 

114(d), (f)(1)–(5), (h)(1)–(4)). 

To support these requirements, TSA 

assesses the current security practices in 

the surface transportation sector by way 

of site visits and interviews through it’s 

Corporate Security Review (CSR) 

program, one piece of a much larger 

domain awareness, prevention, and 

protection program in support of TSA’s 

and Department of Homeland Security’s 

missions. TSA is seeking to renew its 

OMB approval for this information 

collection so that TSA can continue to 

ascertain minimum-security standards 

and identify coverage gaps, activities 

that are critical to its mission of 

ensuring transportation security. 

The CSR is an ‘‘instructive’’ review 

that provides TSA with an 

understanding of each surface 

transportation owner/operator’s ability 

to protect its critical assets. In carrying 

out CSRs, teams of modal experts from 

TSA conduct site visits of critical 

highway, mass transit, pipeline, and rail 

assets throughout the nation. The TSA 

team analyzes the owner’s/operator’s 

security plan and determines if the 

mitigation measures included in the 

plan are being implemented. In addition 

to reviewing the security plan 

document, TSA tours the site and 

interviews the owner’s/operator’s 

security coordinator, employees, and 

contractors. TSA collects information on 

eleven topics: threat assessments, 

vulnerability assessments, security 

planning, credentialing, secure areas, 

infrastructure protection, physical 

security countermeasures, cyber 

security, training, communications, and 

exercises. TSA conducts this collection 

through voluntary face-to-face visits, 

which last an average of two days, at the 

company/agency headquarters of 

surface transportation owners/operators. 

Typically, TSA sends three employees 

to conduct a two-day discussion/ 

interview with representatives from the 

company/agency owner/operator. At the 

conclusion of these site visits, TSA 

completes the Corporate Security 

Review form, which asks questions 

concerning the above mentioned topics. 

TSA does not plan to collect 

information from small businesses or 

other small entities at this time. 

The annual hour burden for this 

information collection is estimated to be 

1,200 hours. While TSA estimates a 

total of 500 potential respondents, this 

estimate is based on TSA conducting 75 

visits per year, each visit lasting 2 days 

(2 8-hour work days). The total annual 

cost burden to respondents is $0.00. 

Number of Respondents: 500. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An 

estimated 1,200 hours annually. 

Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on October 

25, 2005.
