The ICR documentation is available at https://www.reginfo.gov. 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; VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:39 Mar 03, 2010 Jkt 220001 (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: Air Cargo Security Requirements. Type of Request: Renewal of one currently approved collection. OMB Control Number: 1652–0040. Form(s): Aviation Security Known Shipper Verification Form, Aircraft Operator or Air Carrier Reporting Template, Security Threat Assessment Application, Aviation Security Known Shipper Verification Form. Affected Public: The collections of information that make up this ICR involve regulated entities including airports, passenger aircraft operators, foreign air carriers, indirect air carriers operating under a security program, and all-cargo carriers. Abstract: TSA is seeking renewal of an expiring collection of information. Congress set forth in the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA), Public Law 107–71, two specific requirements for TSA in the area of air cargo security: (1) To provide for screening of all property, including U.S. mail, cargo, carry-on and checked baggage, and other articles, that will be carried aboard a passenger aircraft; and (2) to establish a system to screen, inspect, report, or otherwise ensure the security of all cargo that is to be transported in all-cargo aircraft as soon as practicable. In the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007, Public Law 110–53, Congress requires that 50 percent of cargo transported on passenger aircraft is screened by February 2009, and 100 percent of such cargo is screened by August 2010. TSA must proceed with this ICR for this program in order to meet the Congressional mandates and current regulations (49 CFR 1542.209, 1544.205, 1546.205, and part 1548) that enable them to accept, screen, and transport air cargo. The uninterrupted collection of this information will allow TSA to continue to ensure implementation of these vital security measures for the protection of the traveling public. This information collection requires the ‘‘regulated entities,’’ who may include passenger and all-cargo aircraft operators, foreign air carriers, and indirect air carriers (IACs), to PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 implement a standard security program or to submit modifications to TSA for approval, and update such programs as necessary. The regulated entities must also collect personal information and submit such information to TSA so that TSA may conduct security threat assessments (STA) for individuals with unescorted access to cargo, and any individual who has responsibility for screening cargo under 49 CFR parts 1544, 1546, or 1548. Aircraft operators and foreign air carriers must report the volume of accepted and screened cargo transported on passenger aircraft. Further, TSA will collect identifying information for both companies and individuals whom aircraft operators, foreign air carriers, and IACs have qualified to ship cargo on passenger aircraft. This information is primarily collected electronically via the Known Shipper Management System (KSMS). Whenever the information cannot be entered into KSMS, the regulated entity must conduct a physical visit of the shipper using the Aviation Security Known Shipper Verification Form and subsequently enter that information into KSMS. These regulated entities must also maintain records pertaining to security programs, training, and compliance. The forms used in this collection of information include the Aviation Security Known Shipper Verification Form, Cargo Reporting Template, and the Security Threat Assessment Application. Number of Respondents: 4,890. Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 73,567 hours. Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on February 26, 2010.

See 67 FR 7926, as codified at 49 CFR part 1511. The amount of ASIF collected by TSA from the carriers, both overall and per carrier, is based upon the carriers’ aggregate and individual costs, respectively, for screening passengers and property in calendar year 2000. 49 U.S.C. 44940(a)(2)(B)(i), (ii). In conjunction with the issuance of part 1511, TSA requested OMB approval to collect information necessary for TSA to establish the ASIF, including information about the carriers’ individual and aggregate costs related to screening passengers and property in calendar year 2000. This information collection included submissions to TSA of data on the carriers’ screening-related costs and also of independent audits of that data. This information collection is currently approved under OMB number 1652–0001. Purpose of Information Collection Under Part 1511, carriers must retain any and all documents, records, or information related to the amount of the ASIF, including all information applicable to the carrier’s calendar year 2000 security costs and information reasonably necessary to complete an audit. The information collection proposed under this notice is intended to apply to the retention requirement of 49 CFR 1511.9. This requirement includes retaining the source information for the calendar year 2000 screening costs reported to TSA; the calculations and allocations performed to assign costs submitted to TSA; information and documents reviewed and prepared for the required independent audit; the accountant’s working papers, notes, worksheets, and other relevant documentation used in the audit; and, if applicable, the specific information leading to the accountant’s opinion, including any determination that the accountant could not provide an audit opinion. Description of Information Collection The information collection, submission, and retention requirement applies to each air carrier and foreign air carrier that incurred costs for the screening of passengers and property in calendar year 2000. It is estimated that the 191 respondent air carriers and foreign air carriers will each on average incur $104.06 annually, which includes $54.60 in records storage and $50 in PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 9921 labor costs for 2 hours of records management at $25 per hour. For each subsequent year, the total burden for 196 air carriers is estimated at $19,875.46 per year. Thus, the annual average burden related to this requirement for all respondents combined over a three-year period is at a cost of $59,626.38. The subject records may be used by TSA to make determinations regarding securityrelated costs in calendar year 2000, including conducting reviews and otherwise ensuring compliance with 49 CFR 1511.

Information Collection Requirement

    OMB Control Number 1652-0001; Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee 
Records Retention, 49 CFR part 1511. To help defray TSA's costs of 
providing civil aviation security services, and as authorized by 49 
U.S.C. 44940, TSA published in the Federal Register on February 20, 
2002, an interim final rule adding part 1511 to the Transportation 
Security Regulations, which imposed a fee known as the Aviation 
Security Infrastructure Fee (ASIF) on certain air carriers and foreign 
air carriers. See 67 FR 7926, as codified at 49 CFR part 1511. The 
amount of ASIF collected by TSA from the carriers, both overall and per 
carrier, is based upon the carriers' aggregate and individual costs, 
respectively, for screening passengers and property in calendar year 
2000. 49 U.S.C. 44940(a)(2)(B)(i), (ii).
    In conjunction with the issuance of part 1511, TSA requested OMB 
approval to collect information necessary for TSA to establish the 
ASIF, including information about the carriers' individual and 
aggregate costs related to screening passengers and property in 
calendar year 2000. This information collection included submissions to 
TSA of data on the carriers' screening-related costs and also of 
independent audits of that data. This information collection is 
currently approved under OMB number 1652-0001.

Purpose of Information Collection

    Under Part 1511, carriers must retain any and all documents, 
records, or information related to the amount of the ASIF, including 
all information applicable to the carrier's calendar year 2000 security 
costs and information reasonably necessary to complete an audit. The 
information collection proposed under this notice is intended to apply 
to the retention requirement of 49 CFR 1511.9. This requirement 
includes retaining the source information for the calendar year 2000 
screening costs reported to TSA; the calculations and allocations 
performed to assign costs submitted to TSA; information and documents 
reviewed and prepared for the required independent audit; the 
accountant's working papers, notes, worksheets, and other relevant 
documentation used in the audit; and, if applicable, the specific 
information leading to the accountant's opinion, including any 
determination that the accountant could not provide an audit opinion.

Description of Information Collection

    The information collection, submission, and retention requirement 
applies to each air carrier and foreign air carrier that incurred costs 
for the screening of passengers and property in calendar year 2000. It 
is estimated that the 191 respondent air carriers and foreign air 
carriers will each on average incur $104.06 annually, which includes 
$54.60 in records storage and $50 in labor costs for 2 hours of records 
management at $25 per hour. For each subsequent year, the total burden 
for 196 air carriers is estimated at $19,875.46 per year. Thus, the 
annual average burden related to this requirement for all respondents 
combined over a three-year period is at a cost of $59,626.38. The 
subject records may be used by TSA to make determinations regarding 
security-related costs in calendar year 2000, including conducting 
reviews and otherwise ensuring compliance with 49 CFR 1511.
