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 through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Purpose of Data Collection
AGENCY:
VerDate jul<14>2003
Underpayments
(percent)
TSA is requesting the collection of
this information to comply with 49 CFR
1544.219, which requires Federal and
state law enforcement officers (LEOs)
that are flying armed with a firearm to
complete the Flying Armed Training
course. TSA assumed responsibility for
the LEO Flying Armed Training course
under Section 107(a) of the Aviation
and Transportation Security Act (ATSA)
(Pub. L. 107–71) (codified at 49 U.S.C.
44918 Crew Training). The course is a
non-tactical overview of the conditions
under which an officer may fly armed
with a firearm, their expected behavior
while flying armed, and the scope of
their authority while in the air. After
training is completed, TSA will solicit
written feedback from the LEOs using a
TSA training evaluation form. This
collection would permit TSA to collect
identifying information from LEOs who
register for this training course and to
solicit voluntary feedback from the
participants on the quality of training.
Description of Data Collection
Identifying information would be
gathered from LEOs who have registered
for the LEO Flying Armed Training
program to confirm that they are eligible
for this program (i.e., that they are active

law enforcement officers who have an
operational need to fly armed and
receive the training). The course will be
offered to Federal law enforcement
agencies via CD-ROM or at the basic
training course that LEOs attend at
Federal training academies, such as the
Federal Law Enforcement Training
Center (FLETC) and the FBI and the
Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA) Academies in Quantico, Virginia.
For state and local LEOs, the course
will be offered on a secure site over the
Internet. State and local LEOs will be
required to log onto the FLETC website,
which will provide a link to the TSA
LEO Flying Armed website. TSA will
collect information when they register
for the course and then maintain a
record of successful completion, which
is verified with a certificate the LEO
will show at the airport-screening
checkpoint.
If the TSA agent on site doubts a
LEO’s authenticity when the LEO
presents his or her credentials at the
airport to fly, the TSA agent on site will
contact the TSA’s Transportation
Security Operations Center (TSOC), , for
identity verification. To verify the LEO’s
identity, the TSOC representative will
direct the TSA agent to ask the LEO a
series of questions, which the LEO was
required to answer during the course
registration (e.g., Where is your high
school located?).
After training is completed, TSA
would solicit written feedback from the
LEO training using a TSA training
evaluation form. Completion of the form
would be voluntary and anonymous.
TSA proposes an annual certification for
this training process. The number of
potential respondents is 40,000 LEOs.
The estimated annual reporting burden
is 7500 hours annually with an
estimated annual cost burden of
$673,248.
Use of Results
TSA Headquarters and authorized
airport personnel (airport screeners) will
use the registration information to verify
E:\FR\FM\26JAN1.SGM
26JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 16 / Wednesday, January 26, 2005 / Notices
the need and identities of the LEOs who
must fly armed. The registration
information and the certificate of
successful completion from this
collection will also provide TSA
Headquarters personnel and airport
personnel with the means to prevent
unauthorized, or non-certified, LEOs
from flying with a firearm unnecessarily
and without proper training. The results
of the training evaluation forms will
assist TSA in determining whether this
training and certification should be an
annual process.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on January
14, 2005.

advises the BLM on the development
and implementation of monitoring plans
and adaptive management decisions as
development of the Pinedale Anticline
Natural Gas Field (PAPA) proceeds for
the life of the field. After the ROD was
issued, Interior determined that a
Federal Advisory Committees Act

August 13, 2004. An announcement of
committee initiation and call for
nominations was published in the
Federal Register on February 21, 2003,
(68 FR 8522). PAWG members were
appointed by Secretary Norton on May
4, 2004.
At their second business meeting, the
PAWG established seven resource-or
activity-specific Task Groups, including
one for cultural and historic. Public
participation on the Task Groups was
solicited through the media, letters, and
word-of-mouth.
The agenda for these meetings will
include information gathering and
discussion related to implementation
and funding of the adopted cultural and
historic resources monitoring plan for
the Pinedale Anticline gas field. At a
minimum, public comments will be
heard just prior to adjournment of the
meeting.
