See Arming Pilots Against Terrorism Act (APATA), Title XIV of the Homeland Security Act (Pub. L. 107–296, Nov. 25, 2202), codified at 49 U.S.C. 44921; Vision 100—Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act (Vision 100) (Pub. L. 108–176, 117 Stat. 2490, Dec. 12, 2003), codified at 49 U.S.C. 44918. TSA is seeking to renew this information collection in order to continue collecting the information described in this notice to comply with its statutory mission. APATA required TSA to establish a program to screen, select, train, deputize, equip and supervise qualified volunteer pilots of passenger aircraft. With the enactment of the Vision 100, the program was expanded to include pilots of cargo aircraft, as well as flight engineers and navigators, on both passenger and cargo aircraft. These individuals, known as Federal Flight Deck Officers (FFDOs), are authorized to transport and carry a firearm and to use force, including deadly force, to defend the flight deck of an aircraft against acts of criminal violence or air piracy. In order to screen FFDO volunteers for entry into the program, TSA collects information, including name, address, prior address information, personal references, criminal history, limited medical information, financial information and employment information, from applicants through comprehensive applications they submit to TSA. The information collected is used to assess the qualifications and suitability of prospective and current FFDOs through an online application, to ensure the readiness of every FFDO, to administer the program, and for security purposes. Based on the number of current FFDOs, TSA estimates a total of 6,000 respondents annually. It is estimated the online application will take one hour for each applicant to prepare, for a total burden of 6,000 hours.

The Agreement may be terminated on the basis of poor performance of FHA-insured mortgage loans originated by the mortgagee.
