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

Jkt 211001
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
Title: Aircraft Operator Security.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0003.
Forms(s): NA.
Affected Public: Aircraft operators
regulated by 49 CFR part 1544.
Abstract: As part of the aircraft
operator security standards TSA has
implemented at 49 CFR part 1544,
aircraft operators are required to
maintain and update, as necessary,
records of compliance with the security
program provisions outlined in part
1544. This regulation also requires
aircraft operators to make their security
programs and associated records
available for inspection by TSA to
ensure security, safety, and regulatory
compliance. Under this regulation,
aircraft operators must ensure flight
crew members and employees with
unescorted access authority or who
perform screening functions submit to a
criminal history records check (CHRC).
In order to conduct a CHRC, these
individuals must provide their
identifying information to the aircraft
operator, including fingerprints. In
addition to conducting CHRCs and
maintaining security program
documents, these aircraft operators
devote considerable time to comparing
passenger names to watch lists
distributed by TSA. The collection
requirements associated with aircraft
operator security programs remain
critical in the aftermath of the terrorist
attacks of September 11, 2001.
Number of Respondents: 830. The 80
respondents listed in the November 2,
2006, notice represent airlines holding a
full Aircraft Operator Standard Security
Program (AOSSP). These aircraft
operators generally provide scheduled
passenger service and tend to be larger
companies. In addition to these
respondents, TSA is adding 750 aircraft
operators who maintain a Twelve-Five
Standard Security Program (TFSSP), a
Private Charter Standard Security
Program (PCSSP), a specialized limited
program, or a partial program as
PO 00000
Frm 00075
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
18269
described in § 1544.101. Aircraft
operators that maintain a specialized
limited program typically provide ondemand air service, as well as
scheduled service and tend to be
smaller companies. Part 1544 also
governs recordkeeping requirements for
aircraft operators maintaining a full AllCargo Standard Security Program;
however, their hour burden has been
separately reported under OMB control
number 1652–0040. Thus, the total
number of respondents claimed under
this information collection is 830.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 1,625,000 hours annually.
TSA revised the estimate published in
its November 2, 2006, notice to more
accurately reflect the time and effort the
respondents are expending in order to
comply with the security program
requirement and to compare passenger
names against watch lists distributed by
TSA. While TSA directs aircraft
operators to conduct these watch lists
checks, it does not specify how they are
to do so; thus, actual hour burdens for
the watch lists comparison vary widely
across the industry. TSA estimates 80
AOSSP aircraft operators devote
approximately 1.4 million hours per
year to conduct TSA watch list
comparisons and report matches to
TSA, perform CHRCs, and maintain
their security programs. TSA estimates
the 750 TFSSP, PCSSP, limited, and
partial program aircraft operators devote
approximately 230,250 hours per year to
conduct TSA watch list comparisons
and report matches to TSA, perform
CHRCs, and maintain their security
programs.
Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on April 4,
2007.
