Comments Invited

    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 will be 
available at https://www.reginfo.gov upon its submission to OMB. 
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.
    Consistent with the requirements of Executive Order (E.O.) 13771, 
Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs, and E.O. 13777, 
Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda, TSA is also requesting comments 
on the extent to which this request for information could be modified 
to reduce the burden on respondents.

    Abstract: The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security 
(DHS) is authorized to protect property owned, occupied, or secured by 
the Federal Government. See 40 U.S.C. 1315. See also 41 CFR 102-81.15 
(requires Federal agencies to be responsible for maintaining security 
at their own or leased facilities). To implement this requirement, DHS 
policy requires all visitors to DHS facilities in the NCR \1\ to have a 
criminal history records check through the National Crime Information 
Center (NCIC) system before accessing the facility. In reviewing the 
NCIC results, TSA will consider whether an individual could potentially 
pose a threat to the safety of TSA employees, contractors, visitors, or 
the facility. TSA is revising the collection to transition the 
applicable forms, TSA Forms 2802, 2816A, and 2816B, into Common Forms. 
Common Forms permit Federal agency users beyond the agency that created 
the form (e.g., Department of Homeland Security or U.S. Office of 
Personnel Management) to streamline the information collection process 
in coordination with OMB.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ TSA facilities in the NCR include TSA Headquarters, the 
Freedom Center, the Transportation Security Integration Facility 
(TSIF), the Metro Park office complex (Metro Park), and the 
Annapolis Junction facility (AJ).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Number of Respondents: 29,595.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 226 hours annually.

    Dated: April 28, 2020 .
