(OMB)for review and approval of an extension and revision of the currently approved collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its expected burden.

DATES: Send your comments by September 25, 2006. A comment to OMB is most effective if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication.

(571)227-1381. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments Invited In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and approval of the following information collection, TSA is soliciting comments to—
(1)Evaluate whether the proposed information requirement 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;
(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 using appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Information Collection Requirement *Title:* Transportation Security Officer
(TSO)Medical Questionnaire. *Type of Request:* Revision of a currently approved collection. *OMB Control Number:* 1652-0032. *Forms(s):* Transportation Security Officer Medical Questionnaire; further evaluation forms. *Affected Public:* Candidates under employment consideration for Transportation Security Officer positions. *Abstract:* TSA is requesting approval to revise this collection of information to comply with 49 U.S.C. 44935, which requires TSA to establish qualification standards for the employment of security screening personnel. With approval from OMB, TSA currently collects information via a Transportation Security Officer
(TSO)Medical Questionnaire. TSA now seeks approval to make revisions to the form (and to adjust the title as a result of the conversion from Transportation Security Screeners to Transportation Security Officers on February 5, 2005). TSA also seeks approval to include additional supplemental medical forms, which are required in circumstances where TSA needs the additional medical information to make a determination regarding the candidate's qualifications for the TSO job. Only those TSOs who are required to undergo a follow-up medical exam will be required to bring a supplemental form (or forms) to the exam, a portion of which their physician will complete. This collection of information assists the agency in ensuring that candidates under employment consideration for TSO positions meet the qualification standards to perform the functions of the positions successfully. TSA collects the information through a medical questionnaire and supplemental forms. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 57,038. After further evaluation of the annual respondent population, TSA is revising the estimate noted in its April 2006 notice from 22,800 respondents. *Estimated Annual Burden Hours:* 19,013. After further evaluation of the respondent population and hour burden estimate, TSA is revising the estimate noted in its April 2006 notice from 6,346 hours.

This Notice also lists the following information: *Title of Proposal:* Study of the HUD Service Coordinator Program. *Description of the need for the information and proposed use:* The Department does not know the extent of properties with HUD Service Coordinator Grants. This research effort will provide important information about the extent and impact of the Service Coordinator Program that is not otherwise available from HUD records. This research serves two purposes. First, through developing an estimate of the number of eligible projects that actually have service coordinators. This study will assess the availability of service coordinators for residents of Multifamily assisted housing. Second, to better understand what difference service coordination makes in providing supportive services to elderly and non-elderly people with disabilities living in HUD-assisted housing. This study will provide some evidence of the importance of service coordinators for improving the ability to age in place. This study will provide a comparison of satisfaction with provisions of service coordination in HUD Multifamily-assisted properties that do or do not participate in the Service Coordinator Program. *Members of the affected public:* This information collection involves a telephone survey of Multifamily property managers. The survey will be administered to a statistical sample of properties that are eligible for the Service Coordinator Program. The Service Coordinator Program provides grants and rental subsidy funding for the employment and support of Service Coordinators in insured and assisted housing, Multifamily developments that were designed for elderly or non-elderly persons with disabilities and continue to operate as such. However, not all housing properties that are eligible for this program participate. Also, due to limitations in HUD data, we do not know to what extent housing properties are able to provide service coordination if they do not participate in the Service Coordinator Program. *Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare information collection including number of respondents, frequency of response, and hours of response:* Approximately 400 Multifamily property managers will be surveyed on a one-time basis. Each survey is expected to take 30 minutes. Total burden hours are 200. *Status of the proposed information collection:* Pending OMB approval. Authority: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35 (as amended). Dated: August 15, 2006. Darlene F.
