a major disaster under the authority of
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief

U.S.C. 5121–5206 (the Stafford Act), as
follows:

I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of New York
resulting from severe storms and flooding
during the period of October 12–13, 2006,
and continuing, is of sufficient severity and
magnitude to warrant a major disaster
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford

Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster
exists in the State of New York.
In order to provide Federal assistance, you
are hereby authorized to allocate from funds
available for these purposes such amounts as
you find necessary for Federal disaster
assistance and administrative expenses.
You are authorized to provide Individual
Assistance and Public Assistance in the
designated areas, as well as Hazard
Mitigation throughout the State. Consistent
with the requirement that Federal assistance
be supplemental, any Federal funds provided
under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance,
Hazard Mitigation, and Other Needs
Assistance will be limited to 75 percent of
the total eligible costs. Further, you are
authorized to make changes to this
declaration to the extent allowable under the
Stafford Act.

Information Collection Requirement
Title: Sensitive Security Information
Threat Assessments.
Type of Request: Emergency
processing request of new collection.
OMB Control Number: Not yet
assigned.
Forms(s): Security Threat Assessment
Application.
Affected Public: Individuals seeking
access to Sensitive Security Information
(SSI) for use in civil proceedings in
Federal court.
Abstract: Section 114(s) of title 49 of
the U.S.C. requires the Transportation
Security Administration (TSA) to
promulgate regulations governing the
protection of Sensitive Security
Information (SSI). SSI includes

information that would be detrimental
to transportation security if publicly
disclosed. TSA’s SSI regulation, 49 CFR
part 1520, establishes certain
requirements for the recognition,
identification, handling, and
dissemination of SSI, including
restrictions on disclosure and civil
penalties for violations of those
restrictions. Individuals may only
access SSI if they are a covered person
with a need to know as defined by the
regulation. Section 525 of the
Department of Homeland Security
Appropriations Act of 2007 (DHS
Appropriations Act) provides that in
civil proceedings in the U.S. District
Courts, where a party seeking access to
SSI demonstrates a substantial need for
relevant SSI in the preparation of the
party’s case and an undue hardship to
obtain equivalent information by other
means, the party or party’s counsel shall
be designated as a covered person under
49 CFR part 1520.7, provided that the
overseeing judge enters an order
protecting the SSI from unauthorized
disclosure; the individual undergoes a
criminal history records check (CHRC)
and threat assessment; and the
provision of access to the specific SSI in
question in a particular proceeding does
not present a risk of harm to the nation.
TSA is implementing sec. 525 of the
DHS Appropriations Act by establishing
a process whereby a party seeking
access to SSI in a civil proceeding in
Federal court that demonstrates a
substantial need for relevant SSI in
preparation of the party’s case may
request that the party, or if represented,
an attorney, be granted access to the SSI.
In order to determine if the individual
may be granted access to SSI for this
purpose, TSA will conduct a criminal
history records check (CHRC) and
security threat assessment. TSA is
seeking emergency processing of this
information collection request to
implement sec. 525 of the DHS
Appropriations Act and meet ongoing
litigation deadlines in pending
litigation, including those in In Re:
September 11 Litigation, 21 MC 97 &101
(S.D.N.Y.).
The Aviation and Transportation
Security Act (ATSA), Pub. L. 107–71,
sec. 114 (f), authorizes TSA to perform
threat assessments. To accomplish this,
individuals will be required to submit
identifying information, information
regarding the litigation, an explanation
supporting the party’s need for the
information, information concerning the
individual’s bar membership, if
applicable, and information concerning
sanctions, if any, issued by a court or
other judicial body to the individual or
any of the individual’s clients to TSA

via secure electronic mail or regular or
express mail. These individuals must
also submit fingerprints for purposes of
conducting the CHRC.
TSA will use the information to
conduct name-based security threat
assessments and CHRCs for the purpose
of identifying actual or potential threats
to transportation security and the
nation. The results of the CHRC and
threat assessment will be used to make
a final determination on whether the
individual may be granted access to SSI.
Number of Respondents: 80.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 80 hours annually.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on October
27, 2006.
