Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 224 / Monday, November 21, 2011 / Notices
Affected Public: Members of the
traveling public who believe they have
experienced property loss or damage, a
personal injury, or other damages due to
the negligent or wrongful act or
omission of a TSA employee and decide
to seek compensation by filing a Federal
tort claim against TSA.
Abstract: OMB Control Number 1652–
0039, TSA Claims Management System,
allows the agency to collect information
from claimants in order to thoroughly
examine and resolve tort claims against
the agency. TSA receives approximately
1,000 tort claims per month arising from
airport screening activities and other
circumstances, including motor vehicle
accidents and employee loss. The
Federal Tort Claims Act (28 U.S.C.
1346(b), 1402(b), 2401(b), 2671–2680) is
the authority under which the TSA
Claims Management Branch adjudicates
tort claims.
The data is collected whenever an
individual believes s/he has
experienced property loss or damage, a
personal injury, or other damages due to
the negligent or wrongful act or
omission of a TSA employee, and
decides to file a Federal tort claim
against TSA. Submission of a claim is
entirely voluntary and initiated by
individuals. The claimants (or
respondents) to this collection are
typically the traveling public. Currently,
claimants file a claim by submitting to
TSA a Standard Form 95 (SF–95), which
has been approved under OMB control
number 1105–0008. Because TSA
requires further clarifying information,
claimants are asked to complete a
Supplemental Information page added
to the SF–95. These forms have been
approved under OMB control number
1652–0039.
Claim instructions and forms are
available through the TSA Web site at
https://www.tsa.gov. Claimants must
download these forms and mail or fax
them to TSA. On the Supplemental
Information page, claimants are asked to
provide additional claim information
including: (1) Email address, (2) airport,
(3) location of incident within the
airport, (4) complete travel itinerary, (5)
whether baggage was delayed by airline,
(6) why they believe TSA was negligent,
(7) whether they used a third-party
baggage service, (8) whether they were
traveling under military orders, and (9)
whether they submitted claims with the
airlines or insurance companies.
If TSA determines payment is
warranted, TSA sends the claimant a
form requesting: (1) Claimant signature,
(2) banking information (routing and
account number), and (3) Social
Security number (required by the U.S.
Treasury for all Government payments
