Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 29, 2021 / Notices
have an authorized representative
relationship with the individual—to
perform CHRCs is costly and
unnecessary. Therefore, TSA is issuing
this exemption to the CHRC and related
requirements in 49 CFR 1544.229,
provided aircraft operators comply with
the requirements of the exemption that
will ensure accountability for full CHRC
and Rap Back coverage.
Authority and Determination
TSA may grant an exemption from a
regulation if TSA determines that the
exemption is in the public interest.10
TSA finds this exemption to be in the
public interest because it minimizes or
eliminates redundant CHRCs and Rap
Back subscriptions for certain workers
at regulated airports, who work for
multiple employers. TSA has
determined that there is no risk to
transportation security associated with
this exemption because it provides an
option to eliminate only duplicative,
redundant security requirements.

Intent To Request Extension From

of Information: Generic Clearance for

AGENCY:
The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) invites public
comment on one currently approved
Information Collection Request (ICR),
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number 1652–0058, that
we will submit to OMB for an extension
in compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA). The ICR describes
the nature of the information collection
and its expected burden. The
information collection activity provides
a means to gather qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery.
DATES: Send your comments by
November 29, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be emailed
to TSAPRA@dhs.gov or delivered to the
TSA PRA Officer, Information
Technology (IT), TSA–11,
Transportation Security Administration,
6595 Springfield Center Drive,
Springfield, VA 20598–6011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
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—
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(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.
Information Collection Requirement
OMB Control Number 1652–0058;
Generic Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery. This information collection
provides a means to gather qualitative
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient, timely manner, in
accordance with the Administration’s
commitment to improving service
delivery.
From the TSA perspective, qualitative
customer and stakeholder feedback
provides useful insights on perceptions
and opinions. Unlike the results of
statistical surveys, which yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study,
this qualitative feedback provides
insights into customer or stakeholder
perceptions, experiences, and
expectations regarding TSA products or
services. Such feedback also provides
TSA with an early warning of issues
with service, and focuses attention on
areas where improvement is needed
regarding communication, training, or
changes in operations that might
improve delivery of products or
services. These collections allow for
ongoing, collaborative, and actionable
communications between the Agency
and its customers and stakeholders.
They also allow feedback to contribute
directly to the improvement of program
management. The solicitation of
feedback targets areas such as:
Timeliness, appropriateness, accuracy
of information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
are assessed to plan and inform efforts
to improve or maintain the quality of
service offered by TSA. If this
information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Agency’s services
will be unavailable.
The Agency will only submit a
collection for approval under this
E:\FR\FM\29SEN1.SGM
29SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 29, 2021 / Notices
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• The collections are voluntary.
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government.
• The collections are
noncontroversial and do not raise issues
of concern to other Federal agencies.
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future.
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
or other matters that are commonly
considered private.
The aggregate burden estimate is
based on a review of past behavior of
participating program offices and
several individual office estimates. The
likely respondents to this proposed
information request are State, local, or
tribal government and law enforcement;
the traveling public; individuals and
households; and businesses and
organizations. TSA estimates an average
of 10 annual surveys with
approximately 7,094,500 responses
total. TSA further estimates a frequency
of one response per request, with an
average response time of 10 to 30
minutes, resulting in an estimated
annual hour burden of 1,180,050 hours.
TSA will provide more refined
individual estimates of burden in its
subsequent generic information
collection applications.
