Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0042.
Forms(s): TSA 2211.
Affected Public: Individuals seeking
access to SSI Information.
Abstract: TSA is required to prohibit
the disclosure of information that would
be detrimental to transportation safety
or security. See 49 U.S.C. 114(r) and
44912(d). See also TSA’s regulations
stipulating requirements for the
protection of security sensitive
information at 49 CFR part 1520. The
regulations restrict access to SSI to

‘‘covered individuals’’ with a ‘‘need to
know’’.
Pursuant to the requirements in
Section 525(d) of the DHS
Appropriations Act, 2007, Public Law
109–295, 120 Stat 1355, 1382, Oct. 4,
2006, as reenacted,1 TSA established a
process allowing access to SSI in a civil
proceeding in federal district court for
party or party’s counsel that
demonstrates a substantial need for
relevant SSI in preparation of the party’s
case.2 In such cases, TSA may grant
court reporters and experts access to the
SSI under similar terms and conditions.
Under 49 CFR 1520.11 and 1520.15,
TSA has also extended the use for
security background checks to include
other individuals, including a
prospective bidder who is seeking to
submit a proposal in response to a
request for proposal issued by TSA; an
individual involved in the performance
of contractual agreements (e.g.,
bailments) or other transaction
agreements, or an individual receiving
access to SSI as a conditional disclosure
under 49 CFR 1520.15(e).
Under 49 CFR 1520.11(c), TSA may
make an individual’s access to SSI
contingent upon satisfactory completion
of a security threat assessment (STA),
including evaluation of a criminal
history records check (CHRC); and/or a
name-based check against federal law
enforcement, terrorism, and
immigration databases; and/or other
procedures and requirements for
safeguarding SSI that are satisfactory to
1 Consolidated and Further Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2013, Public Law 113–6, Div.
D., Title V., sec. 510 (March 26, 2013).
2 That in civil proceedings in the United States
District Courts, where a party seeking access to SSI
demonstrates that the party has substantial need of
relevant SSI in the preparation of the party’s case
and that the party is unable without undue
hardship to obtain the substantial equivalent of the
information by other means, the party or party’s
counsel shall be designated as a covered person
under 49 CFR part 1520.7 in order to have access
to the SSI at issue in the case, provided that the
overseeing judge enters an order that protects the
SSI from unauthorized or unnecessary disclosure
and specifies the terms and conditions of access,
unless upon completion of a criminal history check
and terrorist assessment like that done for aviation
workers on the persons seeking access to SSI, or
based on the sensitivity of the information, the
Transportation Security Administration or DHS
demonstrates that such access to the information for
the proceeding presents a risk of harm to the nation:
Provided, That notwithstanding any other provision
of law, an order granting access to SSI under this
section shall be immediately appealable to the
United States Courts of Appeals, which shall have
plenary review over both the evidentiary finding
and the sufficiency of the order specifying the terms
and conditions of access to the SSI in question:
Provided further, That notwithstanding any other
provision of law, the Secretary may assess a civil
penalty of up to $50,000 for each violation of 49
CFR part 1520 by persons provided access to SSI
under this provision.

TSA. See also 49 U.S.C. 114(f)(4). To
conduct this security background check,
TSA collects identifying information, an
explanation supporting the individuals’
need for the information, and other
information related to safeguarding SSI
to conduct the STAs. For individuals
who have received a comparable STA
from TSA (such as being a member of
the TSA PreCheck® Application
Program), TSA may also use the known
traveler number issued by TSA to
inform an individual’s eligibility to
access SSI, or otherwise honor the
comparable STA. TSA uses the results
of the STA to make a final
determination on whether the
individual may be granted access to SSI.
TSA also uses the information as part of
its determination as to whether
provision of access to specific SSI
would present a risk of harm to the
nation.
To address program needs, TSA is
revising the information collection. In
particular, TSA is revising TSA Form
2211. The form entitled SSI Access
Threat Assessment Questionnaire will
now become two forms: TSA Form
2817A for court proceedings and TSA
Form 2817B for standard use. The data
points now consist of identifying
information, including, but not limited
to, full name (including any aliases),
date of birth, place of birth, gender,
Social Security Number (optional),
employer name (optional); country of
citizenship, Known Traveler Number,
level of clearance and date granted and
information regarding the need for the
information (litigant, bidder, etc.).
In addition to the information
required for conducting background
checks, TSA requires contract bidders to
provide a certification from each
company/entity that its employees/
personnel who are provided access to
SSI are properly trained; a NonDisclosure Agreement for each
individual who is granted access to SSI;
and an affirmation that each company/
entity will designate a Senior Official
who can certify that all appropriate
protections will be followed, only
authorized individuals will have access
to the sensitive information, and that
those individuals adequately
understand their responsibilities to
protect the information. TSA may also
require these features for other
contractual agreements (e.g., bailments),
participants other transaction
agreements, or those who receive other
conditional SSI disclosures on a caseby-case basis.
In the case of a party seeking access
to SSI in a civil proceeding in federal
court, TSA will gather the information
required for individual vetting,
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4703

including fingerprinting to conduct a
CHRC and also require these individuals
to respond to questions to verify
individuals’ history in safeguarding
sensitive information, including good
standing with bar membership or
sanctions; and to agree to abide by TSA
instructions concerning the handling of
SSI in connection with the court
proceeding.
TSA is also revising the collection to
allow individuals who have recently
(i.e., within 2 years or as determined
appropriate by the program office)
successfully undergone a federal
background investigation (i.e., Tier 1) or
hold an active security clearance
granting access to classified national
security information to facilitate the
STA. TSA will use this information as
part of its determination as to whether
provision of access to specific SSI
would be detrimental to transportation
security.
Number of Respondents: 263.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 104.53 hours annually.3

INTERNATIONAL TRADE
COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701–TA–522 and 731–
TA–1258 (Review)]
Passenger Vehicle and Light Truck
Tires From China; Determinations
On the basis of the record 1 developed
in the subject five-year reviews, the
United States International Trade
Commission (‘‘Commission’’)
determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of
1930 (‘‘the Act’’), that revocation of the
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders on passenger vehicle and light
truck tires from China would be likely
to lead to continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time.2
Background
The Commission instituted these
reviews on July 1, 2020 (85 FR 39581)
3 In the 60-day notice, the estimated annual
burden was listed as 275 hours. TSA is now
adjusting the estimate to 104.53 annual hours
through the use of actual data.
1 The record is defined in § 207.2(f) of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19
CFR 207.2(f)).
