DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY


Public Affairs; Submission for Emergency Processing for Ready for 
Kids Mascot Naming Contest

AGENCY: Public Affairs, DHS.

ACTION: Notice; request for comments; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On July 26, 2004, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 
published a Federal Register notice advising the public that DHS would 
submit an information collection request to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for 
the Ready for Kids Mascot Naming Contest.
    This notice corrects the July 26, 2004 notice. The Ready for Kids 
Mascot Naming Contest is not subject to

[[Page 46172]]

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) requirements.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lara Shane at 202-282-8010 (this is 
not a toll free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 26, 2004, DHS published a notice in 
the Federal Register stating that DHS would submit a new information 
collection request (ICR) to OMB pursuant to the PRA and estimating 
burden hours associated with that request.
    Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520), a Federal agency must obtain approval from OMB for each 
collection of information it conducts, sponsors, or requires through 
regulations. This information collection, does not meet the definition 
of ``information collection'' as defined under 5 CFR part 1320, and is 
therefore exempt from the requirements of the PRA. Accordingly, there 
is no requirement to obtain OMB approval for this information 
collection, as previously stated and reported in the federal notice 
published July 26, 2004.
    The July 26, 2004 Federal Register notice published contained 
incorrect information regarding the frequency of information 
collection, estimated time per respondent, total burden hours, and the 
description for the collection. As noted, the submission of information 
is exempt from PRA. The corrections are as follows:
    Frequency: One-time.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 15 minutes per response.
    Total Burden Hours: 125 hours.
    Please note the description was also amended for clarity.
    Description: The Department of Homeland Security is launching an 
expansion of the Ready campaign, called Ready for Kids, designed for 
children grades 4-8. As part of Ready for Kids, the Department of 
Homeland Security will conduct a ``name the mascot'' contest.

    Dated: July 27, 2004.
Steve Cooper,
Chief Information Officer.
