The authority for this collection
resides in Presidential Policy Directive
(PPD)/PPD–30, 22 U.S.C. 4802 and 22
U.S.C. 3927. The duty of an agency with
employees in foreign countries is to
ensure they fully comply with all
applicable directives of the Chief of
Mission. In order to protect FAA
personnel on official duty abroad, the
ITIC documents the Personally
Identifiable Information (PII) of FAA
employees and contractors to help aid
in their authentication and recovery.
The ITIC requests the following PII:
Name, Date of Birth, Gender, Height,
Weight, Hair and Eye Color, Clothing
and Shoe Size, Race/Ethnic Group,
Blood Type, Scars/Marks/Tattoos,
Known Medical Conditions, Current
Medical Prescriptions, Allergies,
Contact Information, Specialized
Training, Language(s) Spoken, as well as
information about their Emergency
Contact. The traveler will also create a
Duress Word and Personal
Authenticator Statements to aid in the
identification.
This information will not be available
to the public, and will be managed in
accordance with applicable Records
Management and Privacy Act policies.
Only two International Travel Security
Program Managers and the Senior
Watch Officer of the Washington
Operations Center can retrieve ITICs to
aid employees and/or contractors during
an isolating event, as determined by the
Chief of Mission. The Chief of Mission,
relying on situational factors, will make
the ultimate decision with whom this
information is shared, such as, but not
limited to, the Department of Defense,
in the event of a personnel recovery
event.
Respondents: The FAA estimates 52
respondents because of the number of
contractors who traveled internationally
on official business in Fiscal Year 2023.
Frequency: As needed.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 30 minutes per traveler.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 26
hours per year.
Issued in Washington, DC, on April 19,

denied, number of accidents, number of
instrument flight hours flown, number
of night flight hours flown, number of

of the information collection; and (d)

hours flown, along with other specified
information, during which helicopters
operated by the certificate holder were
providing helicopter air ambulance
services. See Public Law 112–95, sec.
306, 49 U.S.C. 44731. The Act further

Transportation and Infrastructure of the
House of Representatives and the

strategies to reduce the helicopter air
ambulance accident rate, and to meet
the mandates set by Congress. The
