SAFETY Act protections, submit questions to the Office of SAFETY Act 
Implementation (OSAI), and provide feedback. The data collection forms 
have standardized the collection of information that is both necessary 
and essential for the DHS OSAI.
    The SAFETY Act program promotes the development and use of anti-
terrorism technologies that will enhance the protection of the nation 
and provides risk management and litigation management protections for 
sellers of QATT and others in the supply and distribution chain. DHS 
S&T currently has approval to collect information for the 
implementation of the SAFETY Act program until March 31, 2016. With 
this notice, DHS S&T seeks approval to renew this information 
collection for continued use after this date. The SAFETY Act program 
requires the collection of this information in order to evaluate and 
qualify Anti-Terrorism Technologies, based on the economic and 
technical criteria contained in the Final Rule titled, Regulations 
Implementing the Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective 
Technologies Act, for protection in accordance with the Act, and 
therefore encourage the development and deployment of new and 
innovative anti-terrorism products and services. The SAFETY Act (6 
U.S.C. 441) was enacted as part of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, 
Public Law 107-296 establishing this requirement. This notice and 
request for comments is required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(Public Law 104-13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
    DHS S&T currently has approval to collect information utilizing the 
Registration of a Seller as an Anti-Terrorism Technology (DHS Form 
10010), Request for a Pre-Application Consultation (DHS Form 10009), 
Notice of License of QATT (DHS Form 10003), Notice of Modification of 
QATT (DHS Form 10002), Application for Transfer of SAFETY Act 
Designation and Certification (DHS Form 10001), Application for Renewal 
of SAFETY Act Protections of a QATT (DHS Form 10057), Application for 
SAFETY Act Developmental Testing and Evaluation Designation (DHS Form 
10006), Application for SAFETY Act Designation (DHS Form 10008), 
Application for SAFETY Act Certification (DHS Form 10007), SAFETY Act 
Block Designation Application (DHS Form 10005), SAFETY Act Block 
Certification Application (DHS Form 10004) until March 31, 2016 with 
OMB approval number 1640-0001.
    The Department is committed to improving its information collection 
and urges all interested parties to suggest how these materials can 
further reduce burden while seeking necessary information under the 
Act.
    DHS is particularly interested in comments that:
    (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) Suggest ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; and
    (4) Suggest 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, e.g., 
permitting electronic submissions of responses.
