Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number 1652–0053,
abstracted below to OMB for renewal in

security program; and (4) recordkeeping
requirements for CCSFs. TSA is seeking
the renewal of the ICR for the
continuation of the Certified Cargo
Screening Program in order to secure
passenger aircraft carrying cargo.

effective if OMB receives it within 30
days of publication.

Jkt 238001
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.

Program.

intended date of operation, to include
quantity, make, and model of the
technology(ies) used to screen cargo.

also submit to an assessment of its
facility by TSA. Once certified, the
CCSF must operate in accordance with
a TSA-approved security program.
CCSFs must also collect personal
information and submit such
information to TSA so that TSA may
conduct security threat assessments for
individuals with unescorted access to
cargo, and who have responsibility for
screening cargo under title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (49 CFR) parts
1544, 1546, 1548, and 1549. CCSFs must

Agency and its customers and
stakeholders and contribute directly to
the improvement of program
