Information Collection Requirement
Title: TSA PreCheck® Application
Program, 49 U.S.C. 114.
Type of Request: Revision of a
previously approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0059.
Forms(s): N/A.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Abstract: Pursuant to the statutory
authorities explained below, TSA has
implemented a voluntary enrollment
program for individuals to apply for the
TSA PreCheck® Application Program.
Section 109(a)(3) of the Aviation and
Transportation Security Act, Public Law
107–71 (115 Stat. 597, 613, Nov. 19,
2001, codified at 49 U.S.C. 114 note)
provides TSA with the authority to
‘‘establish requirements to implement
trusted programs and use available
technologies to expedite security
screening of passengers who participate
in such programs, thereby allowing
security screening personnel to focus on
those passengers who should be subject
to more extensive screening.’’ In
addition, TSA has express, statutory
authority to establish and collect a fee
for any registered traveler program by
publication of a notice in the Federal
Register, as outlined in the Department
of Homeland Security Appropriations
Act, 2006, Public Law 109–90 (119 Stat.
2064, 2088–89, Oct. 18, 2005).
Although participation in the TSA
PreCheck® Application Program is
voluntary, individuals must submit
biographic, biometric,1 and biometric
information directly to TSA, which TSA
uses to conduct identity verification and
a Security Threat Assessment (STA) of
criminal, immigration, intelligence, and
regulatory violation databases.
Interested applicants must provide
certain minimum required data
elements, including, but not limited to,
name, date of birth, gender, address,
contact information, country of birth,
images of identity documents, proof of
citizenship or immigration status, and
biometrics via a secure interface. TSA
uses this information to verify identity
at enrollment, conduct an STA, make a
final eligibility determination for the
TSA PreCheck® Application Program,
and verify the identities of TSA
PreCheck®-enrolled and approved
individuals when they are traveling.
As part of this process, TSA sends the
applicants’ fingerprints and associated
information to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) for the purpose of
comparing their fingerprints to other
fingerprints in the FBI’s Next
Generation Identification (NGI) system
1 Unless otherwise specified, for the purpose of
this document, ‘‘biometrics’’ refers to fingerprints
and/or facial imagery.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
or its successor systems including civil,
criminal, and latent fingerprint
repositories. The FBI may retain
applicants’ fingerprints and associated
information in NGI after the completion
of their application and, while retained,
their fingerprints may continue to be
compared against other fingerprints
submitted to or retained by NGI as part
of the FBI’s Rap Back program.2 In
retaining applicants’ fingerprints, the
FBI conducts recurrent vetting of
applicants’ criminal history until the
expiration date of the applicant’s STA.
TSA also transmits applicants’
biometrics for enrollment into the
Department of Homeland Security
Automated Biometrics Identification
System and its successor systems for
recurrent vetting of applicants’ criminal
history, lawful presence, and ties to
terrorism and for future support of
TSA’s biometric-based identification at
airport checkpoints.
TSA uses the STA results to decide if
an individual poses a low risk to
transportation or national security. TSA
issues approved applicants a known
traveler number (KTN) that they may
use when making travel reservations.
Airline passengers who submit a KTN
when making airline reservations are
eligible for expedited screening on
flights originating from U.S. airports and
select international locations including
Nassau, Bahamas.3 TSA uses the
traveler’s KTN and other information
during passenger prescreening to verify
that the individual traveling matches
the information on TSA’s list of known
travelers and to confirm TSA PreCheck®
expedited screening eligibility.
When the STA is complete, TSA
makes a final determination on
eligibility for the TSA PreCheck®
Application Program and notifies
applicants of its decision. Most
applicants generally should expect to
receive notification from TSA within
three to five days and up to 60 days
from the submission of their completed
applications. If initially deemed
ineligible by TSA, applicants will have
an opportunity to correct cases of
misidentification or inaccurate criminal
records. Applicants must submit a
correction of any information they
believe to be inaccurate within 60 days
of issuance of TSA’s letter. If a corrected
2 The FBI’s Rap Back service allows authorized
agencies to receive on-going status notifications of
any criminal history reported to the FBI after the
initial processing and retention of criminal or civil
transactions using fingerprint identification.
3 Passengers who are eligible for expedited
screening typically will receive more limited
physical screening; e.g., will be able to leave on
their shoes, light outerwear, and belt; to keep their
laptop in its case; and to keep their ‘‘3–1–1’’
compliant liquids/gels bag in a carry-on.

record is not received by TSA within
the specified amount of time, the agency
may make a final determination to deny
eligibility. Individuals who TSA
determines are ineligible for the TSA
PreCheck® Application Program will
undergo standard or other screening at
airport security checkpoints.
The TSA PreCheck® Application
Program enhances aviation security by
permitting TSA to better focus its
limited security resources on passengers
who are unknown to TSA and whose
level of risk is undetermined, while also
facilitating and improving the
commercial aviation travel experience
for the public. Travelers who choose not
to enroll in this initiative are not subject
to any limitations on their travel
because of their choice; they will be
processed through normal TSA
screening before entering the sterile
areas of airports. TSA also retains the
authority to perform standard or other
screening on a random basis on TSA
PreCheck® Application Program
participants and any other travelers
authorized to receive expedited physical
screening.
TSA PreCheck® Enrollment and
Renewal Enhancements
The introduction of additional
enrollment providers, as discussed in
the previous ICR revision, allows
enrollment providers to offer multiple
price points for TSA PreCheck®
enrollment and renewal as well as
additional enrollment locations, which
will allow the public to select the best
option for their needs. TSA plans to
explore new enrollment capabilities to
include remote proctored enrollment 4
to further expand TSA’s ability to
service the public. This revision also
addresses TSA’s plan to accept Mobile
Drivers Licenses and other TSA
approved Digital Identities for identity
verification at enrollment upon TSA
approval. Lastly, TSA intends to
continue to collect information from
TSA PreCheck® members after
enrollment through voluntary customer
experience surveys to better serve the
public.
Average Annual Number of
Respondents: An estimated 6,005,854
average annual respondents. This
estimate is based on current and
projected enrollments with TSA’s
existing program.
4 Remote Proctored Enrollment refers to
enrollments conducted in-person by the applicant
and monitored remotely by a trusted agent via realtime video stream. The remote trusted agent
maintains the integrity of the enrollment by
monitoring the entire process from start-to-finish
including the collection of identity documents and
the traditional capture of contact fingerprints.

Average Annual Number of
Responses: An estimated 8,384,125
average annual responses. There could
be multiple responses per respondent
depending on the requested
information.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 4,069,167 average annual
hours. This estimate includes time to fill
out the enrollment or renewal
application, round trip travel time to an
enrollment center (as needed),
providing biographic and biometric
information to TSA (via an enrollment
center or pre-enrollment options), the
time burden for any records correction
for the applicant, and time for surveys.
Estimated Annual Cost Burden: An
estimated $461,115,379 annual average
cost burden. The applicant fee per
respondent for those who apply for the
program directly with TSA will average
$80 for initial enrollments, $70 for
online renewals, and $75 for in-person
renewals, which covers TSA’s program
costs, TSA’s enrollment vendor’s costs,
and the FBI fee for the criminal history
records check.

Information Collection Requirement
Title: TSA PreCheck[supreg] Application Program, 49 U.S.C. 114.
Type of Request: Revision of a previously approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652-0059.
Forms(s): N/A.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Abstract: Pursuant to the statutory authorities explained below,
TSA has implemented a voluntary enrollment program for individuals to
apply for the TSA PreCheck[supreg] Application Program. Section
109(a)(3) of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, Public Law
107-71 (115 Stat. 597, 613, Nov. 19, 2001, codified at 49 U.S.C. 114
note) provides TSA with the authority to ``establish requirements to
implement trusted programs and use available technologies to expedite
security screening of passengers who participate in such programs,
thereby allowing security screening personnel to focus on those
passengers who should be subject to more extensive screening.'' In
addition, TSA has express, statutory authority to establish and collect
a fee for any registered traveler program by publication of a notice in
the Federal Register, as outlined in the Department of Homeland
Security Appropriations Act, 2006, Public Law 109-90 (119 Stat. 2064,
2088-89, Oct. 18, 2005).
Although participation in the TSA PreCheck[supreg] Application
Program is voluntary, individuals must submit biographic, biometric,\1\
and biometric information directly to TSA, which TSA uses to conduct
identity verification and a Security Threat Assessment (STA) of
criminal, immigration, intelligence, and regulatory violation
databases. Interested applicants must provide certain minimum required
data elements, including, but not limited to, name, date of birth,
gender, address, contact information, country of birth, images of
identity documents, proof of citizenship or immigration status, and
biometrics via a secure interface. TSA uses this information to verify
identity at enrollment, conduct an STA, make a final eligibility
determination for the TSA PreCheck[supreg] Application Program, and
verify the identities of TSA PreCheck[supreg]-enrolled and approved
individuals when they are traveling.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Unless otherwise specified, for the purpose of this
document, ``biometrics'' refers to fingerprints and/or facial
imagery.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As part of this process, TSA sends the applicants' fingerprints and
associated information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for
the purpose of comparing their fingerprints to other fingerprints in
the FBI's Next Generation Identification (NGI) system or its successor
systems including civil, criminal, and latent fingerprint repositories.
The FBI may retain applicants' fingerprints and associated information
in NGI after the completion of their application and, while retained,
their fingerprints may continue to be compared against other
fingerprints submitted to or retained by NGI as part of the FBI's Rap
Back program.\2\ In retaining applicants' fingerprints, the FBI
conducts recurrent vetting of applicants' criminal history until the
expiration date of the applicant's STA. TSA also transmits applicants'
biometrics for enrollment into the Department of Homeland Security
Automated Biometrics Identification System and its successor systems
for recurrent vetting of applicants' criminal history, lawful presence,
and ties to terrorism and for future support of TSA's biometric-based
identification at airport checkpoints.

receive on-going status notifications of any criminal history
reported to the FBI after the initial processing and retention of
criminal or civil transactions using fingerprint identification.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TSA uses the STA results to decide if an individual poses a low
risk to transportation or national security. TSA issues approved
applicants a known traveler number (KTN) that they may use when making
travel reservations. Airline passengers who submit a KTN when making
airline reservations are eligible for expedited screening on flights
originating from U.S. airports and select international locations
including Nassau, Bahamas.\3\ TSA uses the traveler's KTN and other
information during passenger prescreening to verify that the individual
traveling matches the information on TSA's list of known travelers and
to confirm TSA PreCheck[supreg] expedited screening eligibility.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Passengers who are eligible for expedited screening
typically will receive more limited physical screening; e.g., will
be able to leave on their shoes, light outerwear, and belt; to keep
their laptop in its case; and to keep their ``3-1-1'' compliant
liquids/gels bag in a carry-on.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the STA is complete, TSA makes a final determination on
eligibility for the TSA PreCheck[supreg] Application Program and
notifies applicants of its decision. Most applicants generally should
expect to receive notification from TSA within three to five days and
up to 60 days from the submission of their completed applications. If
initially deemed ineligible by TSA, applicants will have an opportunity
to correct cases of misidentification or inaccurate criminal records.
Applicants must submit a correction of any information they believe to
be inaccurate within 60 days of issuance of TSA's letter. If a
corrected record is not received by TSA within the specified amount of
time, the agency may make a final determination to deny eligibility.
Individuals who TSA determines are ineligible for the TSA
PreCheck[supreg] Application Program will undergo standard or other
screening at airport security checkpoints.
The TSA PreCheck[supreg] Application Program enhances aviation
security by permitting TSA to better focus its limited security
resources on passengers who are unknown to TSA and whose level of risk
is undetermined, while also facilitating and improving the commercial
aviation travel experience for the public. Travelers who choose not to
enroll in this initiative are not subject to any limitations on their
travel because of their choice; they will be processed through normal
TSA screening before entering the sterile areas of airports. TSA also
retains the authority to perform standard or other screening on a
random basis on TSA PreCheck[supreg] Application Program participants
and any other travelers authorized to receive expedited physical
screening.
TSA PreCheck[supreg] Enrollment and Renewal Enhancements
The introduction of additional enrollment providers, as discussed
in the previous ICR revision, allows enrollment providers to offer
multiple price points for TSA PreCheck[supreg] enrollment and renewal
as well as additional enrollment locations, which will allow the public
to select the best option for their needs. TSA plans to explore new
enrollment capabilities to include remote proctored enrollment \4\ to
further expand TSA's ability to service the public. This revision also
addresses TSA's plan to accept Mobile Drivers Licenses and other TSA
approved Digital Identities for identity verification at enrollment
upon TSA approval. Lastly, TSA intends to continue to collect
information from TSA PreCheck[supreg] members after enrollment through
voluntary customer experience surveys to better serve the public.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Remote Proctored Enrollment refers to enrollments conducted
in-person by the applicant and monitored remotely by a trusted agent
via real-time video stream. The remote trusted agent maintains the
integrity of the enrollment by monitoring the entire process from
start-to-finish including the collection of identity documents and
the traditional capture of contact fingerprints.

Average Annual Number of Respondents: An estimated 6,005,854
average annual respondents. This estimate is based on current and
projected enrollments with TSA's existing program.
[[Page 68185]]
Average Annual Number of Responses: An estimated 8,384,125 average
annual responses. There could be multiple responses per respondent
depending on the requested information.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 4,069,167 average
annual hours. This estimate includes time to fill out the enrollment or
renewal application, round trip travel time to an enrollment center (as
needed), providing biographic and biometric information to TSA (via an
enrollment center or pre-enrollment options), the time burden for any
records correction for the applicant, and time for surveys.
Estimated Annual Cost Burden: An estimated $461,115,379 annual
average cost burden. The applicant fee per respondent for those who
apply for the program directly with TSA will average $80 for initial
enrollments, $70 for online renewals, and $75 for in-person renewals,
which covers TSA's program costs, TSA's enrollment vendor's costs, and
the FBI fee for the criminal history records check.
