Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 104 / Wednesday, May 31, 2006 / Notices
Forms(s): Electronic enrollment
application; satisfaction survey.
Affected Public: Applicants to the RT
Program and lead stakeholders.
Abstract: TSA is continuing the
ongoing Registered Traveler (RT) Pilot
Program at one airport, which is already
approved by OMB, to test and evaluate
specific technologies and business
processes related to the RT concept. In
addition, TSA will expand the current
pilot to additional locations and
incorporate a public/private
partnership. TSA, through its
partnership with Sponsoring Entities,
who under contract to TSA, will collect
and retain, from their private-sector
central information management
system, personal information on
individuals who volunteer to participate
in the program. This will allow TSA to
complete name-based security threat
assessments and issue an RT card to
volunteers. In addition, TSA will
administer two instruments to measure
satisfaction of RT pilot participants and
key stakeholders.
For the purpose of continuing metrics
analysis, testing interoperability of
systems, and testing the private/public
model of operations, TSA is seeking
emergency processing of this request in
order to begin collecting information in
June 2006. TSA Assistant Secretary Kip
Hawley testified to Congress that TSA
would be ready to allow eligible
participants to enroll in the RT Program
beginning June 20, 2006. In addition,
TSA is seeking emergency processing of
this request in order to meet the
expectations of our stakeholders,
partners, and members of the traveling
public. Based on these initial programs,
TSA may then consider an expansion of
the RT Program.
Number of Respondents: 400,100.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 156,040 hours annually.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on May 24,
2006.

Privacy Officer.
