Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 99 / Friday, May 22, 2015 / Notices
Type of Request: Revision of currently
approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0059.
Form(s): NA.
Affected Public: Air Travelers.
Abstract: The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) implemented the
TSA Pre✓® Application Program
pursuant to its authority under sec.
109(a)(3) of the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act (ATSA),
Public Law 107–71 (115 Stat. 597, 613,
Nov. 19, 2001, codified at 49 U.S.C. 114
note), as well as the DHS
Appropriations Act, 2006, Public Law
109–90 (119 Stat. 2064, 2088–89, Oct.
18, 2005), which authorizes TSA to
establish and collect a fee for any
registered traveler program by
publication of a notice in the Federal
Register.
Under the TSA Pre✓® Application
Program, individuals may submit
biographic and biometric information
directly to TSA, which in turn uses the
information to conduct a security threat
assessment (STA) of law enforcement,
immigration, and intelligence databases,
including a criminal history check. The
results are used by TSA to decide if an
individual poses a low risk to
transportation or national security.
Approved applicants are issued a
Known Traveler Number (KTN) that
may be used when making travel
reservations. Airline passengers who
submit their KTN when making airline
reservations are eligible for expedited
screening on flights originating from
U.S. airports with TSA Pre✓® lanes.1
TSA uses the traveler’s KTN and other
information during passenger prescreening to verify that the individual
traveling matches the information on
TSA’s list of known travellers and to
confirm TSA Pre✓® expedited screening
eligibility.
TSA plans to expand enrollment
options for the TSA Pre✓® Application
Program by using additional contractor
options or capabilities to market, enroll
and pre-screen applicants. Approved
contractors will provide secure
enrollment options to collect biographic
and biometric (e.g., fingerprints, iris
scans, and/or photo) information,
validate identity, collect citizenship/
immigration information, and perform a
criminal history records check to ensure
that applicants do not have convictions
1 Passengers who are eligible for expedited
screening through a dedicated TSA Pre✓® lane
typically will receive more limited physical
screening, e.g., will be able to leave on their shoes,
light outerwear, and belt, to keep their laptop in its
case, and to keep their 3–1–1 compliant liquids/gels
bag in a carry-on. For airports with TSA Pre✓®
lanes, see https://www.tsa.gov/tsa-precheck/tsaprecheck-participating-airports.

for criminal offenses that would
disqualify them from the TSA Pre✓®
Application Program (please refer to the
list of current disqualifiers available at
www.tsa.gov/tsa-precheck/eligibilityrequirements). These expansion options
may include the use of commercial and
other publicly available data to verify
identity and citizenship/immigration
status, and conduct a criminal check.
For enrolled and prescreened
applicants, these additional contractors
will transmit via a secure interface
certain minimum required data
elements (including, but not limited to,
name, date of birth, gender, address,
contact information, country of birth,
images of identity documents, proof of
citizenship/immigration status, and
biometrics) to enable TSA to conduct a
STA, make a final eligibility
determination for the TSA Pre✓®
Application Program, and for screening
purposes, including to verify TSA
Pre✓® enrolled and approved
individuals when they are travelling.
Applicants who are found to be
ineligible as a result of prescreening by
a contractor shall be notified by the
respective contractor of the reason. The
notification will include, when relevant,
information about the available
correction of criminal or immigration
records process and any alternatives
available for identity verification, as
well as other available channels for TSA
Pre✓® expedited screening. Those who
apply through TSA’s existing program
contractor will be notified of their
eligibility for the program by TSA after
completion of the STA.
The TSA-conducted STA for
applicants forwarded by the contractors
will include checks against government
watchlists and databases associated
with security and immigration. TSA
will make the final determination on
eligibility for the TSA Pre✓®
Application Program and notify the
applicant of the decision. Applicants
generally should expect to receive
notification from TSA within 2–3 weeks
of the submission of their completed
applications.
Eligibility for the TSA Pre✓®
Application Program is within the sole
discretion of TSA, which will notify
applicants who are denied eligibility in
writing of the reasons for the denial. If
initially deemed ineligible by TSA,
applicants will have an opportunity to
correct cases of misidentification or
inaccurate criminal or immigration
records. If advised during the
application eligibility review process
that the criminal record discloses a
disqualifying criminal offense, the
applicant must submit in writing within
a specified period of his or her intent to
PO 00000
Frm 00127
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
correct any information he or she
believes to be inaccurate. The applicant
must provide a certified revised record,
or the appropriate court must forward a
certified true copy of the information,
prior to TSA approving eligibility of the
applicant for the TSA Pre✓®
Application Program. With respect to
citizenship and/or immigration records,
within 60 days after being advised that
the citizenship or immigration records
indicate that the applicant is ineligible
for the TSA Pre✓® Application Program,
the applicant must notify TSA in
writing of his or her intent to correct
any information believed to be
inaccurate. TSA will review any
information submitted and make a final
decision. If neither notification nor a
corrected record is received by TSA, the
agency may make a final determination
to deny eligibility. Individuals who TSA
determines are ineligible for the TSA
Pre✓® Application Program will be
screened at airport security checkpoints
pursuant to standard screening
protocols.
TSA invites all TSA Pre✓® applicants
to complete an optional survey to gather
information on the applicants’ overall
customer satisfaction with the service
received at the enrollment center. The
optional survey is administered at the
end of the in-person enrollment service.
TSA will use the information to
determine whether any trends exist
regarding customer service at a
particular enrollment center or
particular application enrollment
activity and to take steps to improve
service. TSA will encourage the
additional contractors to offer a similar
customer satisfaction survey.
The TSA Pre✓® Application Program
enhances aviation security by
permitting TSA to better focus its
limited security resources on passengers
who are more likely to pose a threat to
civil aviation, while also facilitating and
improving the commercial aviation
travel experience for the public.
Travelers who choose not to enroll in
this initiative are not subject to any
limitations on their travel because of
their choice; they will be processed
through normal TSA screening before
entering the sterile areas of airports.
TSA also retains the authority to
perform standard or other screening on
a random basis on TSA Pre✓®
Application Program participants and
any other travelers authorized to receive
expedited physical screening.
Average Annual Number of
Respondents: An estimated 5,458,919
annualized respondents enrollments
over a four year period.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 4,596,547 annualized hours

based on a four-year projection. This
estimate includes the time for preenrollment, all aspects of enrollment
(including a voluntary customer
satisfaction survey), and correction of
records if needed.
Estimated Cost Burden: $143,500,886
annualized cost burden based on a fouryear projection. The TSA fee per
respondent for those who apply for the
program directly with TSA will remain
$85, which covers TSA’s program costs
and the FBI fee for the criminal history
records check. The fee charged by
contractor under the expansion of the
program may differ, as it may include,
but not be limited to, fees for other
services that the companies provide
separately to their customers and the
option to utilize FBI for the criminal
checks at a charge of $12.75 per
applicant. TSA estimates contractors
would remit approximately $25 to TSA
for each prescreened applicant.

Title: TSA Pre[check][supreg] Application Program.
[[Page 29728]]
Type of Request: Revision of currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652-0059.
Form(s): NA.
Affected Public: Air Travelers.
Abstract: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
implemented the TSA Pre[check][supreg] Application Program pursuant to
its authority under sec. 109(a)(3) of the Aviation and Transportation
Security Act (ATSA), Public Law 107-71 (115 Stat. 597, 613, Nov. 19,
2001, codified at 49 U.S.C. 114 note), as well as the DHS
Appropriations Act, 2006, Public Law 109-90 (119 Stat. 2064, 2088-89,
Oct. 18, 2005), which authorizes TSA to establish and collect a fee for
any registered traveler program by publication of a notice in the
Federal Register.
Under the TSA Pre[check][supreg] Application Program, individuals
may submit biographic and biometric information directly to TSA, which
in turn uses the information to conduct a security threat assessment
(STA) of law enforcement, immigration, and intelligence databases,
including a criminal history check. The results are used by TSA to
decide if an individual poses a low risk to transportation or national
security. Approved applicants are issued a Known Traveler Number (KTN)
that may be used when making travel reservations. Airline passengers
who submit their KTN when making airline reservations are eligible for
expedited screening on flights originating from U.S. airports with TSA
Pre[check][supreg] lanes.\1\ TSA uses the traveler's KTN and other
information during passenger pre-screening to verify that the
individual traveling matches the information on TSA's list of known
travellers and to confirm TSA Pre[check][supreg] expedited screening
eligibility.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Passengers who are eligible for expedited screening through
a dedicated TSA Pre[check][supreg] lane typically will receive more
limited physical screening, e.g., will be able to leave on their
shoes, light outerwear, and belt, to keep their laptop in its case,
and to keep their 3-1-1 compliant liquids/gels bag in a carry-on.
For airports with TSA Pre[check][supreg] lanes, see https://www.tsa.gov/tsa-precheck/tsa-precheck-participating-airports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TSA plans to expand enrollment options for the TSA
Pre[check][supreg] Application Program by using additional contractor
options or capabilities to market, enroll and pre-screen applicants.
Approved contractors will provide secure enrollment options to collect
biographic and biometric (e.g., fingerprints, iris scans, and/or photo)
information, validate identity, collect citizenship/immigration
information, and perform a criminal history records check to ensure
that applicants do not have convictions for criminal offenses that
would disqualify them from the TSA Pre[check][supreg] Application
Program (please refer to the list of current disqualifiers available at
www.tsa.gov/tsa-precheck/eligibility-requirements). These expansion
options may include the use of commercial and other publicly available
data to verify identity and citizenship/immigration status, and conduct
a criminal check.
For enrolled and prescreened applicants, these additional
contractors will transmit via a secure interface certain minimum
required data elements (including, but not limited to, name, date of
birth, gender, address, contact information, country of birth, images
of identity documents, proof of citizenship/immigration status, and
biometrics) to enable TSA to conduct a STA, make a final eligibility
determination for the TSA Pre[check][supreg] Application Program, and
for screening purposes, including to verify TSA Pre[check][supreg]
enrolled and approved individuals when they are travelling.
Applicants who are found to be ineligible as a result of
prescreening by a contractor shall be notified by the respective
contractor of the reason. The notification will include, when relevant,
information about the available correction of criminal or immigration
records process and any alternatives available for identity
verification, as well as other available channels for TSA
Pre[check][supreg] expedited screening. Those who apply through TSA's
existing program contractor will be notified of their eligibility for
the program by TSA after completion of the STA.
The TSA-conducted STA for applicants forwarded by the contractors
will include checks against government watchlists and databases
associated with security and immigration. TSA will make the final
determination on eligibility for the TSA Pre[check][supreg] Application
Program and notify the applicant of the decision. Applicants generally
should expect to receive notification from TSA within 2-3 weeks of the
submission of their completed applications.
Eligibility for the TSA Pre[check][supreg] Application Program is
within the sole discretion of TSA, which will notify applicants who are
denied eligibility in writing of the reasons for the denial. If
initially deemed ineligible by TSA, applicants will have an opportunity
to correct cases of misidentification or inaccurate criminal or
immigration records. If advised during the application eligibility
review process that the criminal record discloses a disqualifying
criminal offense, the applicant must submit in writing within a
specified period of his or her intent to correct any information he or
she believes to be inaccurate. The applicant must provide a certified
revised record, or the appropriate court must forward a certified true
copy of the information, prior to TSA approving eligibility of the
applicant for the TSA Pre[check][supreg] Application Program. With
respect to citizenship and/or immigration records, within 60 days after
being advised that the citizenship or immigration records indicate that
the applicant is ineligible for the TSA Pre[check][supreg] Application
Program, the applicant must notify TSA in writing of his or her intent
to correct any information believed to be inaccurate. TSA will review
any information submitted and make a final decision. If neither
notification nor a corrected record is received by TSA, the agency may
make a final determination to deny eligibility. Individuals who TSA
determines are ineligible for the TSA Pre[check][supreg] Application
Program will be screened at airport security checkpoints pursuant to
standard screening protocols.
TSA invites all TSA Pre[check][supreg] applicants to complete an
optional survey to gather information on the applicants' overall
customer satisfaction with the service received at the enrollment
center. The optional survey is administered at the end of the in-person
enrollment service. TSA will use the information to determine whether
any trends exist regarding customer service at a particular enrollment
center or particular application enrollment activity and to take steps
to improve service. TSA will encourage the additional contractors to
offer a similar customer satisfaction survey.
The TSA Pre[check][supreg] Application Program enhances aviation
security by permitting TSA to better focus its limited security
resources on passengers who are more likely to pose a threat to civil
aviation, while also facilitating and improving the commercial aviation
travel experience for the public. Travelers who choose not to enroll in
this initiative are not subject to any limitations on their travel
because of their choice; they will be processed through normal TSA
screening before entering the sterile areas of airports. TSA also
retains the authority to perform standard or other screening on a
random basis on TSA Pre[check][supreg] Application Program participants
and any other travelers authorized to receive expedited physical
screening.

[[Page 29729]]
based on a four-year projection. This estimate includes the time for
pre-enrollment, all aspects of enrollment (including a voluntary
customer satisfaction survey), and correction of records if needed.
Estimated Cost Burden: $143,500,886 annualized cost burden based on
a four-year projection. The TSA fee per respondent for those who apply
for the program directly with TSA will remain $85, which covers TSA's
program costs and the FBI fee for the criminal history records check.
The fee charged by contractor under the expansion of the program may
differ, as it may include, but not be limited to, fees for other
services that the companies provide separately to their customers and
the option to utilize FBI for the criminal checks at a charge of $12.75
per applicant. TSA estimates contractors would remit approximately $25
to TSA for each prescreened applicant.
