facilities and crude oil tankers under the
Cook Inlet Program established by the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Background and Purpose
The Coast Guard published guidelines
on December 31, 1992 (57 FR 62600), to
assist groups seeking recertification
under the Oil Terminal and Oil Tanker
Environmental Oversight and
Monitoring Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 2732)
(the Act). The Coast Guard issued a
policy statement on July 7, 1993 (58 FR
36504), to clarify the factors that the
Coast Guard would be considering in
making its determination as to whether
advisory groups should be certified in
accordance with the Act, and the
procedures which the Coast Guard
would follow in meeting its certification
responsibilities under the Act.
Most recently, on September 16, 2002
(67 FR 58440), the Coast Guard changed
its policy on recertification procedures
for regional citizen’s advisory council
by requiring applicants to provide
comprehensive information every three
years. For each of the two years between
the triennial application procedures,
applicants submit a letter requesting
recertification that includes a
description of any substantive changes
to the information provided at the
previous triennial recertification.
Further, public comment is only
solicited during the triennial
comprehensive review.
Recertification
By letter dated August 27, 2021, the
Commander, Seventeenth Coast Guard
District, certified that the CIRCAC
qualifies as an alternative voluntary
advisory group under 33 U.S.C. 2732(o).
This recertification terminates on
August 31, 2022.
Dated: August 27, 2021.
Nathan A. Moore,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander,
Seventeenth Coast Guard District.

ACTION
: 30 Day notice of renewal and
request for comments.
SUMMARY
: The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) will
submit the information collection
abstracted below to the Office of
Management and Budget for review and
clearance in accordance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The submission
will describe the nature of the
information collection, the categories of
respondents, the estimated burden (i.e.,
the time, effort and resources used by
respondents to respond) and cost, and
the actual data collection instruments
FEMA will use.
DATES
: Comments must be submitted on
or before November 19, 2021.
ADDRESSES
: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the

should be made to Director, Information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: This
proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on February 24, 2021, at 86 FR
11318 with a 60-day public comment
period. Three comments were received
during that period and one comment
(FEMA–2021–0006–0002) was not
germane. The other two comments
(FEMA–2021–0006–0003 and FEMA–
2021–0006–0004) recommended that
FEMA discontinue the Fire Management
Assistance Grant Program (FMAGP).
FEMA has considered these comments,
but declines to make any changes to the
FMAGP as a result of it. The FMAGP
was established under Section 420 of
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford
Act), 42 U.S.C 5187, as amended by
§ 303 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of
2000, which authorizes the President to
provide assistance to any state or local
government for the mitigation,
management, and control of any fire on
public or private forest land or grassland
that threatens such destruction as would
constitute a major disaster. FEMA has
implemented this program through 44
CFR part 204. Absent a change to the
Stafford Act, FEMA will continue
implementing the FMAGP. Moreover,
discontinuing this program would
negatively impact many Regions and
states that receive grant funding under
this program for disaster recovery
purposes. The purpose of this notice is
to notify the public that FEMA will
submit the information collection
abstracted below to the Office of
Management and Budget for review and
clearance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
I. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) Science & Technology
Directorate (S&T) proposes to modify
and reissue a current DHS system of
records titled, ‘‘DHS/S&T–001 Research,
Development, Test, and Evaluation
System of Records.’’ S&T’s mission is to
conduct research, development, testing,
and evaluation (RDT&E or RDT&E
activities) on topics and technologies
related to improving homeland security
and combating terrorism. Some RDT&E
activities involve the collection of
personally identifiable information.
This system of records covers records
collected in support of, or during the
conduct of, DHS/S&T-funded RDT&E
activities in support of DHS
Components and other partners in the
Homeland Security Enterprise. Records
can be collected through RDT&E
activities such as testing and evaluating
a screening technology, obtaining
feedback on a technology from
volunteer participants, or evaluating
analytic tools using publicly available
information.
Pursuant to its statutory mandate,
S&T engages in both basic and applied
RDT&E. Basic research is that RDT&E
which is normally conducted without
specific applications toward processes
or products in mind. For example, S&T
researchers often engage in the
development of knowledge products
(e.g., white papers, literature reviews,
peer-reviewed scholarly articles) for
distribution to the Homeland Security
Enterprise at large. This type of RDT&E
is not in response to an external demand
signal; rather, individual subject matter
experts (SME) use their expertise and
experience to advance the science of
their respective fields. Because these
