30064 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 106 / Friday, June 4, 2021 / Notices 

4 85 FR 50035 (Aug. 17, 2020). The Attorney 

General, in consultation with the Chairman of the 

Federal Trade Commission, made the required 

finding that the purpose of the voluntary agreement 

may not reasonably be achieved through an 

agreement having less anticompetitive effects or 

without any voluntary agreement and published the 

finding in the Federal Register on the same day. 85

7 ‘‘[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). 

Respond to a Pandemic’’ (Voluntary 

Agreement).4 Unless terminated earlier, 

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 (Plan of Action)—was finalized.5 The 

Plan of Action established several subcommittees under the Voluntary 

Agreement, focusing on different 

aspects of the Plan of Action. 

The meetings were chaired by the 

FEMA Administrator or her delegate 

and attended by the Attorney General 

and the Chairman of the Federal Trade 

Commission or their 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 were as follows: 

1. Gather committee Participants and 

Attendees to ask targeted questions for 

situational awareness about PPE, drug 

products and drug substances, 

diagnostic test kits, medical devices, 

and medical gases. 

2. Establish priorities for COVID–19 

response under the Voluntary 

Agreement. 

3. Identify tasks that should be 

completed under the appropriate SubCommittee. 

4. Identify information gaps and areas 

that merit sharing (both from FEMA to 

the private sector and vice versa). 

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.6

However, attendance may be limited if 

the Sponsor 7 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 involved 

matters which fall within the purview of 

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

and the meetings were therefore closed 

to the public. 

Specifically, these meetings to 

implement the Voluntary Agreement 

may have required 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 pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4). 

In addition, the success of the Voluntary 

Agreement depends wholly on the 

willing and enthusiastic participation of 

private sector participants. Failure to 

close these meetings could have had a 

strong chilling effect on private sector 

participation and caused a substantial 

risk that sensitive information would be 

prematurely released to the public, 

leading to participants withdrawing 

their support from the Voluntary 

Agreement. This would have 

significantly frustrated the 

implementation of the Voluntary 

Agreement. Frustration of an agency’s 

objective due to premature disclosure of 

information allows for the closure of a 

meeting pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

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

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 will be 

available at http://www.reginfo.gov 

upon its submission to OMB. 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 

OMB Control Number 1652–0044; 

Department of Homeland Security 

Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (DHS 

TRIP). DHS TRIP is a single point of 

contact for individuals who have 

inquiries or seek resolution regarding 

difficulties they have experienced 

during their travel screening. These 

difficulties could include: (1) Denied or 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 106 / Friday, June 4, 2021 / Notices 30065 

1See Public Law 107–71, 115 Stat. 597 (Nov. 19, 

2001), codified at 49 U.S.C. 114(d). The TSA 

Administrator’s current authorities under the 

Aviation and Transportation Security Act have been 

Continued 

delayed boarding; (2) denied or delayed 

entry into or departure from the United 

States at a port of entry; or (3) identified 

for additional (secondary) screening at 

our Nation’s transportation facilities, 

including airports, seaports, train 

stations and land borders. The TSA 

manages the DHS TRIP office on behalf 

of DHS. To request redress, individuals 

are asked to provide identifying 

information, as well as details of their 

travel experience in two surveys. 

The DHS TRIP office serves as a 

centralized intake office for traveler 

requests for redress and uses the online 

Traveler Inquiry Form (TIF) to collect 

requests for redress. DHS TRIP then 

passes the information to the relevant 

DHS TRIP practitioner office(s), 

including components of DHS, the U.S. 

Department of State, and the U.S. 

Department of Justice, to process the 

request, as appropriate. Participating 

DHS components include TSA, U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection, U.S. 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration 

Services, the National Protection and 

Programs Directorate’s Office of 

Biometric Information Management, 

Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, 

and the Privacy Office, along with the 

U.S. Department of State, Bureau of 

Consular Affairs, and the U.S. 

Department of Justice, Terrorist 

Screening Center. This collection serves 

to distinguish misidentified individuals 

from an individual actually on any 

watch list that DHS uses, to initiate the 

correction of erroneous information 

about an individual contained in 

government-held records, which are 

leading to travel difficulties, and, where 

appropriate, to help streamline and 

expedite future check-in or border 

crossing experiences. It also serves to 

obtain information about the redress 

applicants’ level of satisfaction with the 

DHS TRIP application process with the 

aim of using this information to identify 

areas for improvement. 

Due to its importance in air 

transportation, the United States was 

elected to the Governing Council during 

the 2019 International Civil Aviation 

Organization (IACO) Assembly. ICAO 

creates regulations for aviation safety, 

security, efficiency and regularity and 

environmental protection. The 

organization also creates standards to 

provide uniformity in regulations, 

procedures and organization in relation 

to aircraft, personnel, airways, and 

auxiliary services in order to improve 

air navigation. TSA is revising the 

information collection by aligning the 

TIF question set to capture additional 

criteria to meet ICAO standards. As a 

result, the question set has been edited 

to meet the standards. 

DHS estimates completing the form, 

and gathering and submitting the 

information will take approximately one 

hour. The annual respondent 

population was derived from data 

contained within the DHS case 

management database and reflects the 

actual number of respondents for the 

most recent calendar year. The 

estimated annual number of burden 

hours for passengers seeking redress, 

based on 15,000 annual respondents, is 

15,000 hours (15,000 × 1 hour). DHS 

estimates 10 percent of the 15,000 

respondents completing the form will 

complete the two surveys to share 

details of their application experience. 

The completion of the surveys will take 

approximately 10 minutes, giving an 

estimated annual number of burden 

hours as 250 (1,500 × .0167). The total 

estimated annual number of burden 

hours for this collection is 15,250 

(15,000 + 250) hours.
