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—
PO 00000
Frm 00053

Sfmt 4703
(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

Information Collection Requirement
Title: Federal Flight Deck Officer
(FFDO) Program.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0011.
Forms(s): FFDO online application.
Affected Public: Applicants to the
FFDO Program and current FFDOs.
Abstract: To further supplement the
security measures being implemented
by TSA, Congress and the President
enacted the Arming Pilots Against
Terrorism Act (APATA) as Title XIV of
the Homeland Security Act (Pub. L.
107–296, Nov. 25, 2002, 116 Stat. 2300),
codified at 49 U.S.C. 44921. 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—Century
of Aviation Reauthorization Act (Pub. L.
108–176, Dec. 12, 2003, 117 Stat. 2490,
2561), 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.
Information collected as the result of
this renewal request would be 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.
Number of Respondents: Up to 13,780
annually.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 13,780 hours annually. The
burden estimate stated in the August 23,
2005 notice did not account for the total
reporting burden, and thus has been
revised here.
