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

Information Collection Requirement

    OMB Control Number 1652-0039; TSA Claims Application allows the 
agency to collect information from claimants in order to thoroughly 
examine and resolve tort claims against the agency. TSA receives 
approximately 625 tort claims per month arising from airport screening 
activities and other circumstances, including motor vehicle accidents 
and employee loss. The Federal Tort Claims Act (28 U.S.C. 1346(b), 
1402(b), 2401(b), 2671-2680) is the authority under which the TSA 
Claims, Outreach, and Debt Branch adjudicates tort claims.
    TSA collects the data whenever an individual believes s/he has 
experienced property loss or damage, a personal injury, or other 
damages due to the negligent or wrongful act or omission of a TSA 
employee while acting within the scope of their duties, and the 
individual decides to file a Federal tort claim against TSA. Submission 
of a claim is entirely voluntary and initiated by individuals. The 
claimants (or respondents) to this collection are typically the 
traveling public. Currently, claimants file a claim by submitting to 
TSA a Standard Form 95 (SF-95), which has been approved under OMB 
control number 1105-0008. Because TSA requires further clarifying 
information, claimants are asked to complete a Supplemental Information 
page added to the SF-95.
    TSA is revising the collection to include TSA Form 600, 
Authorization for Disclosure of Protected Health Information Pursuant 
to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). If 
TSA requires information protected by HIPAA in order to fully 
adjudicate a claim, claimants are asked to complete TSA Form 600 to 
provide TSA with the claimant's: (1) name, (2) date of birth, (3) 
social security number, (4) address, (5) a description of the 
information to be disclosed, and (6) signature. TSA Form 600 permits 
TSA to investigate and evaluate administrative claims under the Federal 
Tort Claims Act and to engage with the claimants' health providers. If 
TSA determines payment is warranted, TSA will send the claimant a form 
requesting (1) claimant signature, (2) banking information, and (3) 
Social Security number (required by the U.S. Treasury for all 
Government payments to the public pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 3325) in order 
to make direct payment to the claimant.
    Claim instructions and forms are available through the TSA website 
at https://www.tsa.gov. Claimants must download these forms and mail or 
fax them to TSA. On the Supplemental Information page, claimants are 
asked to provide additional claim information including: (1) email 
address, (2) airport, (3) location of incident within the airport, (4) 
complete travel itinerary, (5) whether baggage was delayed by the 
airline, (6) why they believe TSA was negligent, (7) whether they used 
a third-party baggage service, (8) whether they were traveling under 
military orders,

[[Page 78327]]

and (9) whether they submitted claims with the airline or insurance 
companies.
    Under the current system of claims submitted by mail or fax, TSA 
estimates there will be approximately 7500 respondents on an annual 
basis, for a total annual hour burden of 3,900 hours.
