Download as PDF mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES 9916 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 42 / Thursday, March 4, 2010 / Notices Form(s): The forms used for this collection of information include the CCSF Facility Profile Application (TSA Form 419B), CCSF Principal Attestation (TSA Form 419D), Security Profile (TSA Form 419E), Security Threat Assessment Application (TSA Form 419F), TSA Approved Validation Firms Application (TSA Form 419G), Aviation Security Known Shipper Verification (TSA Form 419H), CCSF Indirect Air Carrier Reporting Template, CCSF Shipper Reporting Template, and the CCSF Independent Cargo Screening Facility Reporting Template. Affected Public: The collections of information that make up this ICR involve entities other than aircraft operators located off-airport and includes facilties upstream in the air cargo supply chain, such as shippers, manufacturers, warehousing entities, distributors, third party logistics companies and Indirect Air Carriers located in the United States. Abstract: TSA is seeking the approval from OMB for the collections of information contained in the ICR. Congress identified specific requirements for TSA in the area of air cargo security in the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA), Public Law 107–71: (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 on passenger 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 the ICR for this program in order to meet the Congressional mandates, and current and new regulations (49 CFR 1522, 1542.209, 1544.205, 1546.205, 1548, and 1549) 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. TSA will certify qualified facilities as CCSFs. Companies seeking to become CCSFs are required to submit an application to TSA at least 90 days before the intended date of operation. TSA will allow the regulated entity to operate as a CCSF in accordance with a TSA-approved security program. Prior VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:39 Mar 03, 2010 Jkt 220001 to certification, the CCSF must also submit to an assessment by a TSAapproved validator. 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 who have responsibility for screening cargo under 49 CFR parts 1544, 1546, or 1548. CCSF facilities must provide information on the amount of cargo screened and other cargo screening metrics at an approved facility. CCSFs must also maintain screening, training, and other securityrelated records of compliance. A firm interested in operating as a TSAapproved validation firm must also apply for TSA approval. Validation firms will need to provide the following information: (1) Applications from entities seeking to become TSAapproved validation firms; (2) personal information so individuals performing, assisting or supervising validation assessments, and security coordinators can undergo STAs; (3) implementation of a standard security program provided by TSA or submission of a proposed modified security program; (4) recordkeeping requirements, including that validation firms maintain assessment reports; and (5) submission of validation reports conducted by validators.
