[Docket No. TSA–2002–11602]
Intent To Request Renewal From OMB
of One Current Public Collection of
Information: Security Programs for
Foreign Air Carriers
Transportation Security
Administration (TSA), DHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: TSA invites public comment
on one currently approved information
collection requirement abstracted below
that we will submit to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
renewal in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act.
DATES: Send your comments by
December 20, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Katrina Wawer, Information
Collection Specialist, Office of
Transportation Security Policy, TSA–9,
Transportation Security Administration,
601 South 12th Street, Arlington, VA
22202–4220.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Katrina Wawer at the above address or
by telephone (571) 227–1995 or
facsimile (571) 227–2594.
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,
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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
1652–0005; Security Programs for
Foreign Air Carriers, 49 CFR part 1546.
The Federal Aviation Administration
initially required this collection under
14 CFR part 129 (now 49 CFR part 1546)
and cleared under OMB control number
2120–0536. The responsibility for the
collection was transferred to TSA and
assigned OMB control number 1652–
0005. The information collected is used
to determine compliance with 49 CFR
part 1546 and to ensure passenger safety
by monitoring foreign air carrier
security procedures. These security
programs establish procedures that
foreign air carriers must carry out to
protect persons and property against
acts of criminal violence, aircraft piracy,
and terrorist activities. This information
collection is mandatory for foreign air
carriers and must be submitted prior to
gaining entry into the United States.
The information requested of foreign
air carriers has increased due to the
security measures mandated by the
Federal Government since September
11, 2001. Because TSA has taken over
airport passenger and cargo screening
requirements within the United States,
the recordkeeping requirements
regarding screening have been reduced.
However, TSA has implemented
additional security requirements, most
of which include recordkeeping
requirements and for which the burden
has yet to be calculated. The additional
information TSA now collects includes
identifying information on foreign air
carriers’ flight crews and passengers.
Specifically, TSA requires foreign
carriers to submit the following
information: (1) A master crew list of all
flight and cabin crew members flying to
and from the United States; (2) the flight
crew list on a flight-by-flight basis; and
