Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 211 / Thursday, October 31, 2019 / Notices
Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5
U.S.C. Appendix (Pub. L. 92–463). The
NSTAC advises the President on matters
related to national security and
emergency preparedness (NS/EP)
telecommunications and cybersecurity
policy.
Agenda: The NSTAC will meet in an
open session on Thursday, November
14, 2019, to discuss current priorities
related to NS/EP communications as
well as cybersecurity. Specifically,
discussions with senior-level
Government Stakeholders will focus on
the importance of software defined
networking as well as the challenges
industry faces with regards to the
Information and Communications
Technology (ICT) supply chain.
Additionally, members will receive an
update regarding government progress
towards recent NSTAC
recommendations.
The committee will also meet in a
closed session from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00
p.m. to receive a classified briefing on
cybersecurity threats related to 5G and
ICT supply chain and discuss future
studies based on the Government’s NS/
EP priorities and perceived
vulnerabilities.
Basis for Closure: In accordance with
section 10(d) of FACA and 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(1) and (9)(B), The Government
in the Sunshine Act, it has been
determined that two agenda items
require closure, as the disclosure of the
information that will be discussed
would not be in the public interest.
The first item is a classified threat
briefing, which will provide NSTAC
members with issues and concerns
surrounding 5G and ICT supply chain.
Disclosure of potential vulnerabilities
and mitigation techniques is a threat to
the Nation’s cybersecurity posture since
adversaries could use this information
to compromise commercial and
Government networks. This briefing
will be classified at the top secret/
sensitive compartmented information
level, thereby exempting disclosure of
the content by statute. The second
agenda item, the discussion of potential
NSTAC study topics, will address areas
of critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities
and priorities for Government.
Government officials will share data
with NSTAC members on initiatives,
assessments, and future security
requirements across public and private
sector networks. The information will
include specific vulnerabilities within
cyberspace that affect the United States’
ICT infrastructures and proposed
mitigation strategies. The premature
disclosure of this information to the
public would be likely to significantly
frustrate implementation of a proposed

agency action. Therefore, this portion of
the meeting is required to be closed
pursuant to section 10(d) of FACA and
5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(l) and (9)(B).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments
Written comments and suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
concerning the proposed collection of
information should address one or more
of the following four points:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information 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 of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(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 through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a Currently Approved
Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Immigration Bond.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the DHS
sponsoring the collection: I–352; ICE.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Individual or
Households, Business or other
nonprofit. The data collected on this
collection instrument is used by ICE to
ensure that the person or company
posting the bond is aware of the duties
and responsibilities associated with the
bond. The collection instrument serves
the purpose of instruction in the
completion of the form, together with an
explanation of the terms and conditions
of the bond. Sureties have the capability
of accessing, completing and submitting
delivery, voluntary departure, and order
of supervision bonds electronically
through ICE’s eBonds system which
encompasses the I–352, while

individuals are still required to
complete the bond form manually and
sureties will be required to submit
maintenance of status and departure
bonds manually.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: 61,722 responses at 30 minutes
(.50 hours) per response. ICE calculated
the number of estimated responses by
adding together the number of bonds
that were posted using Form I–352 in
Fiscal Year 2018 (58,734) with the
maximum number of maintenance of
status and departure bonds the
Department of State expects may be
required for non-immigrants in the next
fiscal year (2,988). The burden estimate
includes the time required to review
instructions, gather and maintain data
needed, to complete, and to file the
collection of information.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: 30,861 annual burden hours,
estimated by multiplying the total
number of responses, 61,722, by the
average response burden of .50 hours.
This estimate is composed of 8,689
responses from surety companies, and
53,033 aliens posting cash bonds
resulting in a total of 61,722 responses.
(7) An estimate of the total public
burden (in cost) associated with the
collection: The estimated total annual
cost is $743,670. This cost is composed
of the burden to surety companies
estimated using the average wage for
insurance sales agents and the burden to
aliens using the average wage of
unskilled workers and production
works plus fringe benefits estimated to
be $47.58 per hour and $20.25 per hour
respectively.1
(8) The estimated cost to the
Government associated with the
collection: The total estimated cost is
1 The hourly wage rate for an insurance sales
agent is $32.64 as reported by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) in the May 2018 National
Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates
United States, https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_
nat.htm#41-3021.
The hourly wage rate for unskilled labor is
represented by the national average of state
minimum wage rates, $8.94. See Consolidated
Minimum Wage Table, June 1, 2019, https://
www.dol.gov/whd/minwage/mw-consolidated.htm.
The hourly wage rate for manufacturing labor is
represented by the average hourly wage for
production occupations, $18.84. See All Production
Occupations, May 2018 National Occupational

$10,422,995, which includes printing
costs and the collection and processing
burden for each form. The total printing
costs equate to $46,292 which is
estimated by multiplying the number of
responses (61,722) by the cost of
printing two forms per response for
$0.75. The collection and processing of
each form takes an average of 6 hours,
and will be conducted by a government
employee with an average hourly wage
plus overhead estimated to be $28.02.2
The total cost of collecting and
processing for the government is
$10,376,703.
Overview of Proposed Revisions to the
Bond Form and to Bond Procedures
Form No. I–352, Immigration Bond,
has not been substantively revised since
2008. Changes to the form are now
necessary because U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) intends to
issue a different form for public charge
bonds and Form I–352 will no longer be
used for that type of bond. Additionally,
ICE is adding language to explain the
terms and conditions of maintenance of
status and departure bonds.
Maintenance of status and departure
bonds were previously accepted by the
former Immigration and Naturalization
Service (INS) on earlier versions of the
Form I–352, and ICE may accept this
type of bond when required for nonimmigrants visiting the United States.
The proposed revisions to the bond
form also seek to clarify when a bond
obligor’s liability attaches and the
events that trigger cancellation of a
bond, and to notify the public that ICE
will no longer issue receipts on Form I–
305 for bonds secured by a cash deposit.
Cash Bond Deposit: ICE has revised
the Instructions to state that it will
accept a certified check, a cashier’s
check, or a money order (a ‘‘cash
equivalent’’) as a deposit from a cash
bond obligor.
eBONDS Power of Attorney: Based on
the development of the eBONDS system,
ICE has revised the Instructions to state
that surety bonds issued using the
eBONDS system may be accompanied
by a power of attorney executed by a
surety company for use in the eBONDS
system.
General Terms and Conditions:
Because certain jurisdictions do not
honor ICE detainers, the General Terms
2 The hourly rate is an average of a General
Schedule Grade 7 Step 5, and a Grade 9 Step 1, plus
the average national locality adjustment of 21.48
percent. https://www.opm.gov/policy-dataoversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/salary-tables/
pdf/2019/saltbl.pdf. An overhead rate of 12 percent
was added to reflect the indirect expenses as
reported in OMB Circular A76, https://
www.whitehouse.gov/sites/whitehouse.gov/files/
omb/circulars/A76/a76_incl_tech_correction.pdf.

and Conditions governing the bond have
been revised to reflect that a bond will
not be cancelled simply because ICE is
on notice of the detention of the bonded
alien for 30 or more days pursuant, or
prior, to a conviction by local, state, or
federal authorities. The revised General
Terms and Conditions clarify that a
delivery bond may not be breached
when the bonded alien is in local, state,
or federal custody on the date the
obligor is scheduled to produce the
alien. The bond will remain in effect in
this situation unless ICE later takes the
bonded alien into its custody directly
from local, state, or federal authorities,
in which case the bond will be
cancelled.
Address to Use for Notice Purposes:
Part A of Form I–352 has been revised
to delete the boxes indicating the
address to use for notice purposes.
Liability Attaches Upon Execution of
the Bond: Part C of Form I–352 has been
revised to reflect that the surety’s
liability attaches upon execution of the
bond form. References to the alien
becoming a public charge have been
omitted and the revisions clarify that
the face amount of the bond is forfeited
or becomes due when the breach
determination is administratively final.
Form I–352 No Longer Used for Public
Charge Bonds: Previous Paragraph G(2)
has been omitted from Form I–352 in
anticipation of USCIS using a different
form for issuance of public charge
bonds.
Maintenance of Status and Departure
Bonds: Paragraph G(4) has been added
to explain the terms and conditions for
Maintenance of Status and Departure
Bonds. The former INS accepted
maintenance of status and departure
bonds using prior versions of Form I–
352 when a bond was required for a
non-immigrant traveling to the United
States.
Deletion of Paragraphs H–J: Because
U.S. bonds, notes and cash are no longer
accepted as deposits to secure cash
bonds, ICE has eliminated Paragraphs
H–J of Form I–352 and any references to
those paragraphs because they are no
longer necessary.
Forms I–305 and I–395 No Longer
Used in Conjunction with Cash Bonds:
Before the advent of electronic
signatures, ICE issued a receipt on Form
I–305 to the cash bond obligor
documenting the amount of the bond
deposit. ICE required the obligor to
submit the original of Form I–305 with
the bond cancellation notice before
obtaining a refund of the cash bond
deposit. If the obligor lost the receipt,
the obligor could submit an affidavit on
Form I–395 in lieu of the receipt to
claim the cash bond deposit. ICE has

E:\FR\FM\31OCN1.SGM

31OCN1

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 211 / Thursday, October 31, 2019 / Notices
now determined that issuance of Form
I–305 is unnecessary and is unduly
burdensome. For bonds posted on the
newly revised bond form, ICE will no
longer require cash bond obligors to
submit Form I–305 or Form I–395 after
a bond has been cancelled and will
issue refunds of bond deposits to the
individual or entity identified in ICE
records as the individual or entity
entitled to receive the refund without
requiring Form I–305 or Form I–395 to
be submitted.

SUMMARY:

Jkt 250001

Section
224 of the National Housing Act (12
U.S.C. 1715o) provides that debentures
issued under the Act with respect to an
insured loan or mortgage (except for
debentures issued pursuant to Section
221(g)(4) of the Act) will bear interest at
the rate in effect on the date the
commitment to insure the loan or
mortgage was issued, or the date the
loan or mortgage was endorsed (or
initially endorsed if there are two or
more endorsements) for insurance,
whichever rate is higher. This provision
is implemented in HUD’s regulations at
24 CFR 203.405, 203.479, 207.259(e)(6),
and 220.830. These regulatory
provisions state that the applicable rates
of interest will be published twice each
year as a notice in the Federal Register.
Section 224 further provides that the
interest rate on these debentures will be
set from time to time by the Secretary
of HUD, with the approval of the
Secretary of the Treasury, in an amount
not in excess of the annual interest rate
determined by the Secretary of the
Treasury pursuant to a statutory formula
based on the average yield of all
outstanding marketable Treasury
obligations of maturities of 15 or more
years.
The Secretary of the Treasury (1) has
determined, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 224, that the
statutory maximum interest rate for the
period beginning July 1, 2019, is 23⁄4
percent; and (2) has approved the
establishment of the debenture interest
rate by the Secretary of HUD at 23⁄4
percent for the 6-month period
beginning July 1, 2019. This interest rate
will be the rate borne by debentures
issued with respect to any insured loan
or mortgage (except for debentures
issued pursuant to Section 221(g)(4))
with insurance commitment or
endorsement date (as applicable) within
the last 6 months of 2019).
For convenience of reference, HUD is
publishing the following chart of
debenture interest rates applicable to
mortgages committed or endorsed since
January 1, 1980:
