Extension of Agency Information
Collection Activity Under OMB Review:
Airport Security
Transportation Security
Administration, DHS.
ACTION: 30-day notice.
AGENCY:
This notice announces that
the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) has forwarded the
Information Collection Request (ICR),
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number 1652–0002,
abstracted below to OMB for review and
approval of a revision of the currently
approved collection under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). TSA is
combining two previously-approved
ICRs (1652–0002 and 1652–0006,
Employment Standards) into this single
request to simplify TSA collections,
increase transparency, and reduce
duplication.1 The ICR describes the
nature of the information collection and
its expected burden. TSA published a
Federal Register notice, with a 60-day
comment period soliciting comments, of
the following collection of information
on September 1, 2015, 80 FR 52778. The
collection involves implementing
certain provisions of the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act and 49
U.S.C. chapter 449 that relate to
providing for the safety and security of
persons and property on an aircraft
operating in air transportation or
intrastate air transportation against an
act of criminal violence, aircraft piracy,
and the introduction of an unauthorized
weapon, explosive, or incendiary onto
an aircraft.
DATES: Send your comments by January
19, 2016. A comment to OMB is most
effective if OMB receives it within 30
days of publication.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, OMB. Comments should be
addressed to Desk Officer, Department
of Homeland Security/TSA, and sent via
SUMMARY:
1 After the publication of the 60 day notice, TSA
decided to include in OMB control number 1652–
0002, Airport Security, 49 CFR part 1542, the
recordkeeping requirements under OMB Control
Number 1652–0006 Employment Standards, which
apply to 49 CFR part 1542. This would reduce
duplication and combine information collected
under the same statute, 49 CFR part 1542. Upon
OMB approval of this revision, TSA intends to
discontinue OMB Control Number 1652–0006
Employment Standards.

Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501

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.

Abstract: TSA is seeking to revise its
OMB control number 1652–0002,
Airport Security, 49 CFR part 1542 to
include the recordkeeping requirements
under OMB control number 1652–0006,

Airport Security Program (ASP),
submission to TSA, and ASP
implementation; (2) as applicable,
development of ASP amendments,
submission to TSA, and
implementation; (3) collection of data
necessary to complete a criminal history
records check (CHRC) for those
individuals with unescorted access to a
Security Identification Display Area
(SIDA); (4) submission to TSA of
identifying information about
individuals to whom the airport
operator has issued identification
media, such as name, address, and
country of birth, in order for TSA to
conduct a Security Threat Assessment
(STA); (5) recordkeeping requirements
associated with records required for
compliance with the regulation, and for
compliance with Security Directives
(SDs); and (6) watch list matching of
individuals subject to TSA’s regulatory
requirements against government watch
lists.
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 verify compliance
with transportation security regulations.
Number of Respondents: 438.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 1,657,102 hours annually.

Register notice, with a 60-day comment

collection involves information that
certain U.S. aircraft operators and
foreign air carriers (collectively
‘‘covered aircraft operators’’) submit to
Secure Flight for the purposes of
identifying and protecting against
potential and actual threats to
transportation security and identifying
individuals who are a lower risk to
transportation security and therefore
may be eligible for expedited screening.
TSA is revising this collection to
include the addition of risk-based
assessments generated by aircraft
operators using data in their Computer
Assisted Passenger Prescreening
Systems (CAPPS), Frequent Flyer Code
Words (FFCWs) generated by aircraft
operators, and the collection of lists of
low-risk individuals provided by nonfederal entities who are eligible for
expedited screening. The CAPPS
assessments and FFCWs are used in
risk-based analysis of Secure Flight and
other prescreening data that produces a
boarding pass printing result (BPPR) for
each passenger.
