TSA has implemented airport operator security standards at 49 CFR part 1542 to require each airport operator to which this part applies to adopt and carry out a security program. These TSA-approved security programs establish procedures that airport operators must carry out to protect persons and property traveling on flights provided by U.S. aircraft operators and foreign air carriers against acts of criminal violence, aircraft piracy, and the introduction of explosives, incendiaries, or weapons aboard an aircraft. This information collection is mandatory for airport operators. As part of their security programs, affected airport operators are required to maintain and update, as necessary, records of compliance with the security program provisions set forth in 49 CFR part 1542. This regulation also requires affected airport operators to make their security programs and associated records available for inspection and copying by TSA to ensure transportation security and regulatory compliance. The information requested of airport operators has increased due to the security measures mandated by the Federal Government since September 11, 2001. The information TSA now collects includes identifying information on individuals with unescorted access to the most secured areas of the airport. Under this regulation, airport operators must ensure that individuals seeking unescorted access authority submit to and receive a criminal history records check (CHRC). As part of the CHRC process, the individual must provide identifying information, including fingerprints. Additionally, airport operators must maintain these records and make them available to TSA for inspection and copying upon request. TSA will continue to collect information to determine airport operator compliance with other requirements of 49 CFR part 1542. TSA estimates that there will be approximately 444 airport operator respondents to the information requirements described above requiring approximately 535,705 hours per year to process. The current estimated annual burden is 535,705 hours annually. Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on August 4, 2011. Joanna Johnson, TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Office of Information Technology.

Information Collection Requirement OMB Control Number 1652–0034; Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) Flying Armed Training. TSA is requesting approval for the renewal of the collection of this information to comply with 49 CFR 1544.219, which requires Federal LEOs or full-time territorial, tribal, municipal, county or state LEOs who are direct employees of government agencies, or authorized railroad police officers, to complete the LEO Flying Armed training course in order to fly armed. The course is a non-tactical overview of the conditions under which an officer may fly armed and the required conduct and duties of the LEO while flying armed. This collection would permit TSA to collect identifying information from law enforcement agencies requesting the LEO Flying Armed training course. Information will be gathered from law enforcement agencies who have requested the LEO Flying Armed training course. The information would be gathered to confirm that the agencies are eligible for this program (i.e., that they are active law enforcement agencies whose officers have an operational need to fly armed). Law enforcement agencies will be required to contact the TSA/FAMS via phone or email and provide the full name of the agency’s designated point of contact, agency name, and agency address, telephone number, and e-mail address to obtain the LEO Flying Armed training course. The FAMS will maintain a record of law enforcement agencies and their point of contact that have received the training materials. If an issue arises during the screening and verification process regarding the authenticity of an agency that requests training materials, no training materials will be supplied until that issue has either been confirmed or resolved and a record of such will be maintained. Upon completion of the training, the LEO who has been authorized by his or her agency to fly armed will present his or her credentials, and other required documentation at the airport in order to fly armed. A Transportation Security Officer will verify all pertinent information onsite. TSA estimates there will be approximately 2,000 respondents on an annual basis, for a total annual hour burden of 167 hours. E:\FR\FM\10AUN1.SGM 10AUN1

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. 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;
    (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

    OMB Control Number 1652-0002; Airport Security, 49 CFR part 1542. 
The information collected is used to determine compliance with 49 CFR 
part 1542 and to ensure passenger safety and security by monitoring 
airport operator security procedures. TSA is seeking to renew its OMB 
control number, 1652-

[[Page 49504]]

0002, Airport Security. TSA has implemented airport operator security 
standards at 49 CFR part 1542 to require each airport operator to which 
this part applies to adopt and carry out a security program. These TSA-
approved security programs establish procedures that airport operators 
must carry out to protect persons and property traveling on flights 
provided by U.S. aircraft operators and foreign air carriers against 
acts of criminal violence, aircraft piracy, and the introduction of 
explosives, incendiaries, or weapons aboard an aircraft.
    This information collection is mandatory for airport operators. As 
part of their security programs, affected airport operators are 
required to maintain and update, as necessary, records of compliance 
with the security program provisions set forth in 49 CFR part 1542. 
This regulation also requires affected airport operators to make their 
security programs and associated records available for inspection and 
copying by TSA to ensure transportation security and regulatory 
compliance.
    The information requested of airport operators has increased due to 
the security measures mandated by the Federal Government since 
September 11, 2001. The information TSA now collects includes 
identifying information on individuals with unescorted access to the 
most secured areas of the airport. Under this regulation, airport 
operators must ensure that individuals seeking unescorted access 
authority submit to and receive a criminal history records check 
(CHRC). As part of the CHRC process, the individual must provide 
identifying information, including fingerprints. Additionally, airport 
operators must maintain these records and make them available to TSA 
for inspection and copying upon request.
    TSA will continue to collect information to determine airport 
operator compliance with other requirements of 49 CFR part 1542. TSA 
estimates that there will be approximately 444 airport operator 
respondents to the information requirements described above requiring 
approximately 535,705 hours per year to process.
    The current estimated annual burden is 535,705 hours annually.

    Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on August 4, 2011.
