Grantee Checklist—(OMB No. 0930–

0104,Extension, no change)—Recipients

of Federal CMHC construction funds are

obligated to use the constructed

facilities to provide mental health

services. The CMHS Act was repealed in

1981 except for the provision requiring

grantees to continue using the facilities

for mental health purposes for a 20-year

period. In order for SAMHSA’s Center

for Mental Health Services to monitor

compliance of construction grantees the

grantees are required to submit an

annual report. This annual Checklist

enables grantees to supply necessary

information efficiently and with a

minimum of burden. The following

Addition of a New System of Records

AGENCY: Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Proposed addition of a new

system of records.

SUMMARY: The Department of Interior is

issuing public notice of its intent to add

a new department-wide Privacy Act

system of records to its inventory of

records systems subject to the Privacy

Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a). This action

is necessary to meet the requirements of

the Privacy Act to publish in the Federal

Register notice of the existence and

character of records systems maintained

by the agency (5 U.S. C. 552a(e)(4)). The

new system of records is called the

‘‘Interior Child Care Subsidy Program

Records System.’’

EFFECTIVE DATE: 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11)

requires that the public be provided a

30-day period in which to comment on

the intended use of the information in

the system of records. The Office of

Management and Budget, in its Circular

A–130, requires an additional 10-day

period (for a total of 40 days) in which

to make these comments. Any persons

interested in commenting on this

proposed system of records may do so

by submitting comments in writing to

the Office of the Secretary Freedom of

Information Act/Privacy Act Officer,

U.S. Department of the Interior,

National Business Center, MS 1414 MIB,

1849 C Street NW, Washington, DC

20240, or by e-mail at osfoia@nbc.gov.

Comments received within 40 days of

publication in the Federal Register will

be considered. The system will be

Privacy Act of 1974—Narrative

Statement for a New System of Records

to Implement the Interior Department

Childcare Subsidy Program

The purpose of the new system of

records is to collect information from

employees of the Interior Department in

order to determine their eligibility for

childcare subsidy in the form of tuition

assistance, to determine the amount of

the subsidy, and to implement the

program for eligible employees. The

new system of records also collects

information from employees’ child care

provider(s) for verification purposes,

such as ensuring that providers are

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 31 / Wednesday, February 14, 2001 / Notices 10311

licensed, and information needed to

issue payments directly to child care

providers.

Authority for the Interior

Department’s childcare subsidy program

is found in the Consolidated

Appropriations Act of 2001, Public Law

106–544, which permits Federal

agencies to use appropriated funds

available for salaries to assist lower

income employees with their child care

costs. (See Section 633 of H.R. 5658,

incorporated by reference into Public

Law 106–544.) The authority in the

Consolidated Appropriations Act of

2001 expires at the end of fiscal year

2001. If legislation is enacted extending

the authority, the Department may

choose to continue to operate this

program if appropriated funds are

available. The notice of establishment of

this system of records is intended to

cover the potential extension of the

program.

It is estimated that one percent of

Interior Department employees might be

eligible for the subsidy. If one percent

apply for the subsidy, the total number

of individual records will not exceed

6000.

The Interior Department proposes to

enter into a contract with a non-federal

organization to process the applications

and implement the program. This

contractor will receive employees

completed applications and determine

eligibility and tuition assistance amount

based on a formula determined by the

Interior Department. The non-federal

organization is currently administering

the childcare subsidy programs for other

federal agencies, and as a result

currently handles federal employee

personal information and has

established procedures to minimize the

risk of unauthorized access to the

system of records. The contract between

the Interior Department and the nonfederal organization will require the

organization to adhere to federal

standards of privacy.

The new system of records will

collect income and provider data on an

application form (‘‘Child Care Provider

Information Form—OPM Form 1644’’

[OMB Clearance Number 3206–0240])

submitted by employees. The

application will only request personal

data that is necessary to determine

whether an employee is eligible for the

subsidy and information necessary to

administer the subsidy for eligible

employees. The system will contain

information from only those individuals

who choose to apply for the subsidy.

The proposed collection of records will

only be used for the purpose of

determining eligibility, determining the

amount of the subsidy, and for

administration of the subsidy program.

The proposal relates to State and local

governments. One of the requirements

of the subsidy is for childcare providers

to be licensed or regulated in the state

or location in which they operate.

Childcare providers will be required to

submit a copy of their latest license and/

or statement of compliance from their

state and/or local authority.

This system of records does not entail

any changes to computer installations,

communications networks, or any other

general changes in information

collection, handling, storage or

dissemination.

BILLING CODE 4310–RJ–P

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Fish and Wildlife Service

Information Collection to be Submitted

to the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) for Approval Under the

Paperwork Reduction Act

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Intent To Request

Information Collection Authority.

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service, will be submitting to

the OMB the collection of information

described for approval under the

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction

Act of 1995. Copies of specific

information collection requirements and

explanatory material may be obtained

by contacting our Information

Collection Clearance Officer at the

address or phone number listed below.

DATES: You must submit comments on

or before April 16, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Your comments and

suggestions on specific requirements

should be sent to our Information

Collection Clearance Officer, U.S. Fish

and Wildlife Service, MS 222, ARLSQ,

1849 C Street, NW, Washington, D.C.

20240; Telephone 703/358–1943.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Jeffrey L. Horwath, Division of Fish and

Wildlife Management Assistance and

Habitat Restoration, Arlington, Virginia,

at 703/358–1718.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We

propose to submit the following

information collection clearance

requirements to the OMB for review and

approval under the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L. 104–13.

We currently have OMB approval

#1018–0070, which expires 10/31/01.

Your comments are invited on: (1)

Whether this collection of information

is necessary for us to properly perform

our functions, including whether this

information will have practical utility;

(2) the accuracy of our estimate of

burden, including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions we use;

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility,

and clarity of the information we are

proposing to collect; and (4) ways to

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. An agency may

not conduct or sponsor, and a person is

not required to a collection of

information unless the agency displays

a currently valid OMB control number.

Section 101(a)(5)(A) of the Marine

Mammal Protection Act of 1972

authorizes us, acting on behalf of the

Secretary of the Interior, to allow the

incidental, unintentional take of small

numbers of marine mammals during a

specified activity (other than

commercial fishing) in a specified

geographic region. Prior to allowing

these takes, however, we must find that

the total of such taking will have a

negligible impact on the species or

stocks, and will not have an unmitigable

adverse impact on the availability of the

species or stocks for subsistence uses by

Alaska Natives.

The information that we propose to

collect will be used to evaluate

applications for specific incidental take

regulations from the oil and gas industry

to determine whether such regulations,

and subsequent Letters of Authorization

(LOA), should be issued; the

information is needed to establish the

scope of specific incidental take

regulations. The information is also

required to evaluate the impacts of the

activities on the species or stocks of the

marine mammals and on their

availability for subsistence uses by

Alaska Natives. It will ensure that all

available means for minimizing the

incidental take associated with a

specific activity are considered by

applicants.

We estimate that the burden

associated with the request will be a

total of 3,140 hours for the full 3-year

period of OMB authorization. Two

hundred hours will be required to

complete the request for specific

procedural regulations. For each LOA

expected to be requested and issued

subsequent to issuance of specific

procedural regulations, we estimate that

20 hours will be invested: 8 hours will

be required to complete each request for
