collection requirement abstracted below

Management and Budget (OMB) for

Jkt 208001
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
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.

ADDRESSES: Katrina Wawer, AttorneyAdvisor, Office of Chief Counsel, TSA–
2, 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) 227–1381.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1652–0032; Transportation Security
Officer (formerly Screener) (TSO)
Medical Questionnaire. Because
Transportation Security Screeners were
converted to Transportation Security
Officers (TSOs) on February 5, 2005,
TSA is revising the title of this
collection accordingly. TSA also is
making other revisions to the form to
ensure the proper information is
collected in the most appropriate
manner. With approval from OMB, TSA
currently collects information via a TSO
medical questionnaire, which assists the
agency in ensuring that candidates
under employment consideration for
TSO positions meet the qualification
standards to successfully perform the
functions of the position. TSA uses this
information to evaluate a candidate’s
physical and medical qualifications,
including visual and aural acuity, and
physical coordination and motor skills.

TSA now seeks approval to revise its
existing control number application to
include additional medical forms which
TSA candidates will bring with them to
follow-up medical evaluations (should
they be necessary) and which must be
completed by the candidate’s health
care provider(s) and returned to TSA by
facsimile. These forms are required in
circumstances where additional medical
information is needed to make a
determination regarding the candidate’s
qualifications for the TSO job. For
example, due to the physically
demanding nature of the TSO job, it is
important to ensure that individuals
who have prior back injuries are
evaluated thoroughly to ensure they can
perform the TSO job safely and
efficiently without excessive risk of
accident or injury to themselves or
others. This additional information is
provided by the candidate’s health care
provider of choice and includes
historical and other information needed
to make a determination.
A TSA contractor will facilitate
receipt and processing of these forms.
The variety of forms pertains to
particular body systems and medical
conditions, including cardiac,
orthopedic, endocrine, vitals, etc. The
form or forms a candidate’s health care
provider will complete depends on the
condition(s) revealed during a
candidate’s initial medical evaluation.
Thus, while all candidates reaching the
medical evaluation portion of the
selection process will be asked to
complete a medical questionnaire, only
candidates for whom additional
information is needed will be asked to
seek further evaluation from their health
care provider and submit additional
information through the further
evaluation forms. Historical data
indicate that approximately 30 percent
of candidates reaching the medical
evaluation will be required to complete
an additional form(s). TSA estimates
that the potential annual respondent
population for this collection will be
22,800 health care providers and
candidates, which includes 11,400
candidates and 11,400 health care
providers, nationwide. TSA estimates
the total annual hour burden, in
addition to the annual burden as a result
of the TSO medical questionnaire, to be
6346 hours.
