Agency Information Collection Activities: Extension, Without Change, of a Currently Approved Collection; Comment Request, 11147-11148 [2012-4276]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 37 / Friday, February 24, 2012 / Notices srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES to continue to conduct assessments of facilities applying for certification under the Certified Cargo Screening Program (CCSP). The Final Rule deleted the requirement that aircraft operators would have to become certified in order to screen cargo off airport. Aircraft operators are already screening cargo on airport, under a TSA-approved security program, and additional certification of aircraft operators is not necessary. TSA received approval from OMB for the collections of information contained in the IFR and now seeks to extend this approval from OMB on this Final Rule. Accordingly, TSA must proceed with this ICR for this program in order to continue to meet the Congressional mandate. The ICR allows TSA to collect several categories of information as explained below. Data Collection TSA certifies qualified facilities as CCSFs. Companies seeking to become CCSFs are required to submit an application for a security program and for certification to TSA at least 90 days before the intended date of operation. All CCSF applicants submit applications and related information either electronically through email, through the online Air Cargo Document Management System, or by postal mail. TSA requires CCSF applicants to ensure that individuals performing screening and related functions under the Final Rule have successfully completed a security threat assessment (STA) conducted by TSA. In addition, Security Coordinators and their alternates for CCSFs must undergo STAs. CCSFs must submit personally identifiable information on these individuals to TSA so that TSA can conduct an STA. TSA also requires CCSFs to accept and implement a standard security program provided by TSA or to submit a proposed modified security program to the designated TSA official for approval. The CCSF must also submit to an assessment of its facility by TSA. Once TSA approves the security program and determines that the applicant is qualified to be a CCSF, TSA will send the applicant a written notice of approval and certification to operate as a CCSF. Once certified, CCSFs 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 security-related records of compliance with the Final Rule and make them available for TSA Inspectors. The forms used for this collection of information include the CCSF Facility Profile Application (TSA Form 419B), VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:34 Feb 23, 2012 Jkt 226001 CCSF Principal Attestation (TSA Form 419D), Security Profile (TSA Form 419E), Security Threat Assessment Application (TSA Form 419F), Aviation Security Known Shipper Verification (TSA Form 419H), and the Cargo Reporting Template. Estimated Burden Hours As noted above, TSA has identified several separate information collections for the Final Rule under this ICR. These collections will affect an estimated total of 2,309 unique respondents, over the three years of the PRA analysis. Collectively, these five information collections represent an estimated average of 127,050 responses annually, for an average annual hour burden of 143,768 hours. 1. CCSF Application. TSA estimated that it will receive 2,902 applications in 3 years, for an average of 967 applications annually (this includes submissions from new applicants and CCSFs applying to renew their certification). TSA further estimated that these applications will require an average of 2 hours each to complete, resulting in an annual burden of approximately 1,934 hours (967 × 2). 2. STA Applications. All CCSP participants subject to 49 CFR parts 1544, 1546, 1548, and 1549 will be required to have certain employees undergo security threat assessments (STAs). TSA estimated it will receive a total of 153,516 applications in 3 years, for an average of 51,172 applications annually. TSA further estimated that STA applications will require approximately 15 minutes each to complete, resulting in an annual burden of approximately 12,793 hours (51,172 × 0.25). 3. Security Programs. TSA estimated that a total of 1,778 CCSFs will be required to maintain and update their security programs in 3 years, for an average of 593 CCSFs annually. Each firm will devote approximately 42 hours to create their initial security program, resulting in an estimated annual burden of 24,906 hours (593 × 42). TSA estimated 3,701 security program updates in the first three years for an average of 1,234 updates per year. TSA further estimated that security program updates will require approximately 4 hours each to complete, resulting in an annual burden of approximately 4,936 hours (1,234 × 4). 4. Recordkeeping Requirements. All CCSFs will be required to maintain records of compliance with the FR. TSA estimated a time burden of approximately five minutes (0.083 hours) annually per employee who is required to have an STA for each CCSF PO 00000 Frm 00085 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11147 to file the training records and other records of compliance. TSA estimated an annual burden of approximately 4,247 hours (51,172 × 0.083). 5. Cargo Reporting. TSA estimated that all CCSFs will complete monthly cargo volume reports at an estimated time of one hour each per week. The average annual responses, based on one response per firm per month, are 21,912 (1,826 × 12). The estimated annual burden is 94,952 hours (1,826 × 52).
