Collection Instruments. TSA is
expanding the scope of the Registered
Traveler (RT) Pilot Program, which is
currently in operations at one airport
and is already approved by OMB, to test
and evaluate specific technologies and
business processes related to the RT
concept. In addition, TSA will add
additional locations using the RT Pilot
Program’s public/private partnership.
For the purpose of continuing metrics
analysis, testing interoperability of
systems, and testing the private/public
model of operations, TSA sought
emergency processing from OMB in
order to begin collecting information in
June 2006. OMB issued its temporary
approval on June 12, 2006, and TSA is
now seeking to renew the RT Pilot
Program’s control number.
TSA will receive and retain personal
information on individuals who
volunteer to participate in the program
that Sponsoring Entities (i.e., airport
authorities and/or aircraft operators
under agreement with TSA to conduct
RT operations) will collect and transmit
through a Central Information
Management System (CIMS), which will
be under contract with TSA. This
information will allow TSA to complete
and adjudicate name-based security
threat assessments and allow
Sponsoring Entities to issue an RT card
to approved applicants.
In addition, TSA will administer two
instruments, which OMB previously
approved, to measure the satisfaction of
RT pilot participants and key
stakeholders. TSA will administer the
first instrument, customer service
surveys, electronically via the TSA Web
site. TSA estimates the hour burden for
the surveys to be 72,000 hours, based on
288,000 respondents and a 15-minute
burden per respondent. The second
instrument, stakeholder interviews, will
be used by TSA to periodically conduct
in person interviews to ensure that
stakeholders’ issues are fully addressed
and to facilitate accurate assessments of
local concerns. Stakeholders include
representatives of participating airports,
air carriers, vendor staff, and relevant
associations, as well as Federal Security
Directors and their staff. TSA estimates
the hour burden for the stakeholder
interviews to be 120 hours, based on 6–
8 interviews per location (not including

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Transportation Security
Administration (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
September 18, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed
or delivered to Katrina Wawer,

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
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

TSA employees) and a 45-minute
burden per interview.
Finally, in order for TSA to further
develop the Registered Traveler Pilot
Program, it is seeking to expand the
information collection to include two
additional categories of respondents: (1)
Companies wishing to serve as Service
Providers (i.e., companies procured by
the Sponsoring Entities to implement
RT services); and (2) Airport authorities
and aircraft operators wishing to
participate in Registered Traveler.
wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES
Companies Wishing To Serve as Service
Providers
If a company wishes to serve as a
Service Provider for the Registered
Traveler Pilot Program, it will have to
undergo a process to confirm that it is
a legitimate business that does not pose
or is suspected of posing a threat to
transportation or national security.1
TSA has determined that the most
effective way to pre-qualify companies
seeking participation in Registered
Traveler is to collect basic financial
information about the company and to
conduct security threat assessments
(including fingerprint-based criminal
history records check) on the company’s
(including its subcontractors) key
personnel.2 TSA estimates that up to 12
companies will wish to serve as an
enrollment and/or verification provider
and will need to provide information for
the process. These 12 companies will
have to submit general information
(organization, legal, and ownership)
about themselves so that TSA may
conduct a security threat assessment to
confirm that they do not pose, or are not
suspected of posing, a threat to
transportation or national security. TSA
estimates that each company will take
up to 12 hours to provide TSA with this
information. Therefore, TSA estimates
that the total hour burden for providing
this general company information to be
144 hours [12 companies × 12 hours per
company].
TSA will also collect personally
identifying information about company
key personnel (such as name, contact
information, and date of birth) in order
to conduct security threat assessments,
1 An RT Service Provider can be: (1) An
Enrollment Provider (EP) thatcollects the biographic
and biometric information from RT applicants,
collects user fees from RT applicants, and issues RT
cards to RT participants; (2) a Verification Provider
(VP) that verifies the identity of the RT participant
in the airport in accordance with TSA-issued RT
standards; or (3) a combined Enrollment and
Verification Provider. The term ‘‘Service Provider’’
is used in this document as a term of collective
reference to RT vendors of all three categories.
2 Key personnel are defined as: (1) Officers,
principals, and programmanagers responsible for
RT operations; and (2) all employees that collect,
handle or use RT applicant or participant data.

including a fingerprint-based criminal
history records checks. TSA estimates
that this information will be collected
for a maximum of 25 individuals per
company and that providing this
information will take about three hours
per person. Therefore, TSA estimates
that the maximum total hour burden for
providing information on company
officers and key personnel to be 900
hours [300 individuals (12 companies ×
25 individuals per company) × 3 hours
per individual].
Thus, TSA estimates the total hour
burden for the company re-qualification
process to be 1,044 hours [144 hours for
general company information + 900
hours for information on company
officers and key personnel].
Airport and Air Carrier Participation
Approval
If an airport authority or aircraft
operator wishes to participate in the
Registered Traveler Pilot Program, TSA
will require it to submit a Statement of
Interest. TSA estimates that up to 50
entities will apply to participate and
that it will take each airport one hour to
prepare and submit its Statement of
Interest. Therefore, TSA estimates the
total burden hour for each entity seeking
to participate in Registered Traveler to
be 50 hours [50 airports × 1 hour per
airport/air carrier].
TSA is currently proceeding with RT
pilots at approximately 10–20 airports.
TSA requires potential Sponsoring
Entities seeking to participate in
Registered Traveler to submit a Plan of
Operations, including a Validation and
Verification Report, which demonstrates
how the potential Sponsoring Entities’
operations comply with TSA-issued
Registered Traveler standards. TSA
estimates that approximately 20
potential Sponsoring Entities will
submit a Plan of Operations and that it
will take each entity 40 hours to prepare
the Plan. Therefore, TSA estimates the
total hour burden for entities submitting
a Plan of Operations to be 800 hours [20
entities × 40 hours per airport].
Thus, TSA estimates the total hour
burden for the participation approval
process to be approximately 850 hours
[50 hours for preparation and submittal
of a Statement of Interest (50 airports/
air carriers × 1 hour per airport/air
carrier) + 800 hours for preparation and
submittal of a Plan of Operations (20
airports/air carriers × 40 hours per
airport/air carrier].
TSA estimates that expanding the
Registered Traveler Pilot Program’s
information collection to include
companies wishing to serve as service
providers and airports wishing to
participate will add a maximum of
PO 00000
Frm 00047
Fmt 4703

$2,400,000 to the cost burden. In order
to prepare the Plan of Operations,
airports will likely require the services
of a certified public accountant to
complete the Validation and
Verification Report for their vendors.
TSA estimates that it will cost about
$200,000 per company and that between
6 and 12 vendor companies will
participate in Registered Traveler. Built
into this $200,000 figure is the cost per
company to conduct a CHRC, which
TSA estimates to be $750.00 ($30.00 per
individual CHRC × 12 individuals per
company). Therefore, TSA estimates a
total burden cost ranging between
$1,200,000 [for 6 companies ($200,000
per company × 6 companies)] and
$2,400,000 [for 12 companies ($200,000
× 12 companies)].
