SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Between
November 1, 2006 and November 30,
2006, the Chief Privacy Officer of the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) approved and published three
Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) on
the DHS Privacy Office Web site,
http://www.dhs.gov/privacy, under the
link for ‘‘Privacy Impact Assessments.’’
These PIAs cover three separate DHS
programs. Below is a short summary of
those programs, indicating the DHS
component responsible for the system,
and the date on which the PIA was
approved. Additional information can
be found on the Web site or by
contacting the Privacy Office.
1. CBP Automatic Targeting System
Customs and Border Protection
November 22, 2006: Department of
Homeland Security, Customs and
Border Protection (CBP), has developed
the Automated Targeting System (ATS).
ATS is one of the most advanced
targeting systems in the world. Using a
common approach for data
management, analysis, rules-based risk
management, and user interfaces, ATS
supports all CBP mission areas and the
data and rules specific to those areas.
This PIA was prepared in conjunction
with the System of Records Notice that
was published on November 2, 2006 in
the Federal Register.
2. Global Enrollment System
Customs and Border Protection
November 1, 2006: This is an update
to the previous Global Enrollment
System PIA, dated April 20, 2006. It was
prepared in order to include a
description and analysis of the Global
On-Line Enrollment System, which is
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
the new online application process for
enrollment in Customs and Border
Protection trusted traveler programs.
With the new system, CBP will be able
to offer an on-line enrollment process to

prospective and existing members of
GES programs.
3. United States Coast Guard
‘‘Biometrics at Sea’’ Mona Passage
Proof of Concept
U.S. Coast Guard
November 3, 2006: This PIA describes
the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) and U.S.
Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator
Technology (US–VISIT) Program
partnership. The partnership is in
furtherance of the broader objective to
develop mobile biometric capabilities
for the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS). The findings from this
proof of concept will be used to develop
and refine technologies needed for
mobile biometrics collection and
analysis capability at sea, along with
other remote areas where DHS operates.
The technologies developed through
this proof of concept will assist in the
apprehension and prosecution of illegal
migrants and migrant smugglers. They
will also deter unsafe and illegal
maritime migration, which will help
preserve life at sea. The USCG deployed
the at-sea biometric capability during
the operational Proof of Concept (POC)
in November 2006.

Previous Request for Comments.
This request provides a 30-day
comment period required by OIRA. The
Coast Guard has already published the
60-day notice (71 FR 12378, March 10,
2006) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2).
That notice elicited comments from a
firm that provides services in the
analysis and design of automotive and
marine products (‘‘industry’’), and from
a state environmental protection agency
(‘‘State agency’’). These comments
requested a substantive revision to the
CG–3865 report form.
The comments made
recommendations to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the
information that is subject to the
collection. Comments concerned the
terminology used in the current Coast
Guard Boating Accident Report Form
(CG–3865) lacks clarity to such an
extent, it likely makes it difficult for a
vessel operator/owner to complete the
form as required by 33 CFR 173.55. As
currently designed for use by ‘‘the
operator/owner of a vessel,’’ some
terminology used in the report form
could be unclear or unknown by the
reporting individual. Additionally, it
was stated that designing the accident
report form for an operator/owner while
at the same time taking into
consideration the use of the form by law
enforcement officials means the report
form has evolved into an instrument
that does not adequately address the
distinct needs and knowledge level of
law enforcement or the operator/owner.
We concur that some revisions are
needed to improve the CG–3865 report
form for accuracy and thoroughness of
the information subject to the collection
as prescribed by Federal regulations, but
we did not agree with all of the
suggested changes.
PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\20DEN1.SGM
Two issues related to potential
rulemaking arose during our review of
comments. First, the industry
commenter has recommended that we
amend the reporting provisions of 33
CFR 173.55(a) and (c) as soon a possible
to include law enforcement officers,
instead of just vessel operators or
owners, as persons who may complete
accident reports. We have treated this
portion of industry’s comment as a
petition for rulemaking and have
forwarded it to the Executive Secretary
of the Marine Safety and Security
Committee in accordance with 33 CFR
1.05–20, Petitions for rulemaking. We
only note here that § 173.55 identifies
who must submit—not who must
complete—the report.
Second, while examining the form in
response to comments, we noted a
requirement in paragraph (w) of 33 CFR
173.57 (Contents of Report).
Specifically, paragraph (w) requires the
collection of vessel beam width at
widest point and depth from transom to
keel. This information is not solicited by
the current form. Because it is required
by paragraph (w), we have added this
item to the revised form. We plan to re-
examine this paragraph, particularly in
light of requirements for the display of
capacity information and a standard for
safe loading in 33 CFR part 183,
subparts B and C, respectively, to see if
a revision in this regulation is
warranted. The omission of this beam
and transom solicitation in the current
form may reflect that it has become
impractical to collect this information
from vessel operators/owners. After re-
examining the usefulness of this
information, we may decide a
rulemaking is warranted to change the
underlying requirement in § 173.57, but
we can not eliminate the place to enter
this information on the CG–3865 report
form while this information is still
required.
In response to submitted comments,
the CG–3865 report form has been
revised to eliminate terms and data
elements where: (1) The practicality of
collecting the information from vessel
operators/owners is unrealistic and (2)
the information is of limited value in
supporting the strategies and objectives
of the national Recreational Boating
Safety (RBS) Program. The following is
a summary of comments submitted
within the scope of the solicitation that
pertain specifically to the information
collection request published in the
Federal Register (71 FR 12378) on
March 10, 2006.
Industry Comments
Comments submitted by industry
focused on the practical utility of the
20DEN1
 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 244 / Wednesday, December 20, 2006 / Notices
collection as well as ways to enhance
the quality and clarity of the
information subjected to collection. The
firm noted the current CG–3865 form
lacks not only clarity, but a definition of
terms which could make it difficult for
a vessel operator/owner to complete.
The firm also commented that we
should consult with their stakeholders
to correct the structural and content
deficiencies of the report form. We
concur with these comments and have
recently evaluated information captured
by the CG–3865 report form in
consultation with the National
Association of State Boating Law
Administrators (NASBLA). NASBLA is
comprised of Boating Law
Administrators (BLAs) representing the
fifty States, five U.S. Territories, and the
District of Columbia, who by regulation,
serve as the reporting authorities for
their respective jurisdiction.
We do not concur with the comment
that the CG–3865 report form is not in
compliance with 33 CFR 173.55 (a) and
(c). While appropriate State reporting
authorities may assist appropriate
individuals in the proper filing of the
report, the report form and manner of
reporting is in compliance with Federal
regulations.
We concur that the CG–3865 report
form includes technical information that
lacks clarity and definition of terms that
a lay person may not be able to respond
to in a manner as prescribed by
regulations. In response, we have made
substantive revisions to the CG–3865
report form in an attempt to capture
accurate information from individuals
who are required to file the report. For
example, the following terms have been
eliminated: ‘‘Inherently buoyant,’’
‘‘Tertiary,’’ ‘‘Whitewater boating,’’ ‘‘Off-
throttle steering,’’ and ‘‘Runaway boat.’’
And explanatory text has been provided
for the following abbreviations: VSC
[vessel safety check], BUI [boating under
the influence], and PFD [personal
floatation device].
In response to the comment for
providing instructions for the vessel
operator/owner to describe information
for the overall accident as well as
information for the specific vessel they
were operating, we have included
explanatory text in the headings of each
section of the report form. Additionally,
the structure of the boating accident
report database file has been modified to
reflect the manner of reporting for the
overall accident as well as for the
specific vessel(s) involved in the
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
accident.
We appreciate the recommendations
submitted by industry for improving the
quality of data captured by the accident
report form. By revising the report form
VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:03 Dec 19, 2006 Jkt 211001
as recommended, we believe accident
data is more accurately reported and
subsequently captured in our boating
accident report database file at the
proper levels of causality and
description. We believe the data and
associated statistical information
generated by the revised form will better
show the factors—environmental,
operator, and vessel—associated with
boating accidents.
State Agency Comments
Comments submitted by the State
agency focused on modifying the CG–
3865 report form to clarify certain
information. In response to these State
agency comments:
1. We have modified the form to make
it evident the information is required by
the Coast Guard as prescribed by current
federal regulations. We include in our
explanatory text that State reporting
authorities may require reports
involving only damage to vessels and
other property that is less than $2,000.
2. We concur that the most important
information to collect regarding a VSC
is when the vessel has been involved in
an accident. The form has been
modified to capture whether the
respective vessels involved in accidents
had current VSC decals.
3. We have clarified that information
requested for a BUI arrest is specifically
for the vessel operator involvement in
the accident that is subject to the report,
and not in reference to any prior BUI
arrests.
4. Due to the limited practicality of
collecting accurate engine serial number
information from vessel operators/
owners, serial number information has
been eliminated from the revised CG–
3865 report form.
5. The term ‘‘cruising’’ remains in the
list of values associated with the
operation of the vessel at the time of the
accident.
6. The term ‘‘sudden medical
condition’’ (heart attack, stroke, etc.) has
been added to the list of contributing
factors for an accident.
7. ‘‘Auxiliary equipment failure’’ now
provides an example of such an
occurrence (e.g., generator failure).
8. The entire ‘‘Accident Descriptors’’
section has been eliminated. However,
‘‘collision with a commercial vessel’’
has been added to the list for ‘‘Types of
Accidents.’’
9. The section requesting the
‘‘estimated number of days the vessel
was used this year,’’ the ‘‘typical
number of hours the vessel was used
each day this year,’’ and the ‘‘typical
number of persons on board the vessel
used each day this year’’ has been
eliminated from the report form.
PO 00000 Frm 00087 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\20DEN1.SGM
76357
10. In regard to the section of the
report entitled, ‘‘Other People on Board
this Vessel,’’ we concur with the
removal of the last question asking for
information on whether operators of the
other vessels involved in the accident
completed their reports. Individuals
completing the form for their respective
vessel typically would not know that
same type of information for other
vessels involved in the accident. In
response, the ‘‘Other People on Board
this Vessel’’ section has been
eliminated.
11. In the section entitled ‘‘Witnesses
not on this Vessel,’’ we have modified
the title to include witnesses for the
overall accident. We have also corrected
the spelling of the word ‘‘separate.’’
12. In the section entitled ‘‘For
Agency Use Only,’’ we have modified
the form to capture the primary and
secondary causes of the accident in the
opinion of the reviewing official.
13. In the section entitled ‘‘Person
Completing the Report,’’ we have
included a response for ‘‘Other’’ so the
respondent is able to indicate who is
submitting the report in case the
operator and owner are unable to submit
the report as required. In many of these
cases, state reporting authority
personnel (e.g., investigator) complete
the CG–3865 report form to the best of
their ability and submit the data to the
Coast Guard.
14. The term ‘‘Bruise’’ has been
placed in parentheses next to the term
‘‘ABRASION/CONTUSION.’’
15. The term ‘‘Heart Attack’’ has been
added to the list of types of injuries and
the term ‘‘Other’’ has been added to the
list of injury causes in the subsection
entitled ‘‘Injury Caused By.’’
16. ‘‘Victim Activity at the Time of
the Accident’’ has been modified to be
consistent in both the Non-Fatal Injury
and Deceased sections of the report
form. Since the term ‘‘Cruising’’ is
appropriately designated as a vessel
operation, it will remain listed as an
‘‘Operation at the Time of the
Accident.’’
We appreciate the comments
submitted by the State agency in
clarifying the type of information to be
submitted by vessel operators/owners
using the CG–3865 report form.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 46
CFR 16.230, the Coast Guard requires
marine employers to establish random
drug testing programs for covered
crewmembers on inspected and
uninspected vessels.
Every marine employer is required to
collect and maintain a record of drug
testing program data for each calendar
year, and submit this data by 15 March
of the following year to the Coast Guard
in an annual MIS report. Marine
employers may either submit their own
MIS reports or have a consortium or
other employer representative submit
the data in a consolidated MIS report.
The purpose of setting a minimum
random drug testing rate is to assist the
Coast Guard in analyzing its current
approach for deterring and detecting
illegal drug abuse in the maritime
industry. The testing rate for calendar
year 2006 is 50 percent.
The Coast Guard may lower this rate
if, for two consecutive years, the drug
test positive rate is less than 1.0 percent,
in accordance with 46 CFR 16.230(f)(2).
Since 2005 MIS data indicates that the
positive rate is greater than one percent
industry-wide (1.45 percent), the Coast
Guard announces that the minimum
random drug testing rate will continue
at 50 percent of covered employees for
the period of January 1, 2007 through
December 31, 2007 in accordance with
46 CFR 16.230(e).
Each year, the Coast Guard will
publish a notice reporting the results of
random drug testing for the previous
calendar year’s MIS data and the
minimum annual percentage rate for
random drug testing for the next
calendar year.
