TSA is seeking to renew its OMB
control number, 1652–0003, Aircraft
Operator Security. TSA has
implemented aircraft operator security
standards at 49 CFR part 1544 which
require each aircraft operator to which
this part applies to adopt and
implement a security program. As part
of these security programs, affected
aircraft operators are required to
maintain and update, as necessary,
records of compliance with the security
program provisions outlined in 49 CFR
part 1544. This regulation also requires
affected aircraft operators to make their
security programs and associated
records available for inspection by TSA
to ensure transportation security and
regulatory compliance. Under this
regulation, aircraft operators must
ensure that flight crew members and
employees with unescorted access
authority or who perform screening
functions (1) submit to a criminal
history records check (CHRC); (2)
conduct the CHRC; and (3) require the
individual to provide identifying
information, including fingerprints. The
collection requirements associated with
aircraft operator security programs
remain critical in the aftermath of the
terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
The current estimated annual reporting
burden for approximately 66 respondent
air carriers is 34,320 hours.
