ACTION: 60-Day notice. 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 1652–0068, abstracted below, that we will submit to OMB for a revision in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its expected burden. The collection involves gathering information from individuals who plan to visit all TSA facilities in the National Capital Region (NCR). DATES: Send your comments by December 24, 2024. ADDRESSES: Comments may be emailed to TSAPRA@tsa.dhs.gov or delivered to the TSA PRA Officer, Information Technology (IT), TSA–11, Transportation Security Administration, 6595 Springfield Center Dr., Springfield, VA 20598–6011. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christina A. Walsh at the above address, or by telephone (571) 227–2062. 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— (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 PO 00000 Frm 00093 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (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 1652–0068; Security Appointment Center (SAC) Visitor Request Form and Foreign National Vetting Request. The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is required to protect property owned, occupied, or secured by the Federal Government. See 40 U.S.C. 1315; see also 41 CFR 102–81.15 (requires Executive agencies to be responsible for maintaining security at their own or leased facilities). To implement this requirement, DHS policy requires all visitors to DHS facilities in the NCR 1 to have a criminal history records check through the National Crime Information Center system before accessing the facility. TSA has established a visitor management process that meets DHS requirements. This process allows TSA to conduct business with visitors, including other Federal employees and contract employees, while managing risks posed by individuals entering the building who have not been subject to a full employee security background check. Once an individual’s access is approved, TSA’s Visitor Management System generates temporary badges that visitors must wear when entering TSA facilities in the NCR. This badge must be clearly visible for the duration of the individual’s visit. Visitors seeking to enter TSA facilities must also have a TSA-Federal employee as their host, and the host must complete the electronic TSA Form 2802, Security Appointment Center (SAC) Visitor Request Form. TSA Form 2802 requires that the Federal host employee provide the visitor’s first and last name, date of birth, date and time of visit, visitor type (e.g., DHS or other government visitor, non-government individual), and whether the visitor is a foreign national visitor.2 Although TSA requests the visitor to provide their social security number (SSN), the visitor is not required to provide this information. When provided, TSA uses the SSN to expedite vetting and to 1 TSA facilities in the NCR include TSA Headquarters, the Freedom Center, the Transportation Security Integration Facility, and the Annapolis Junction facility. 2 A person who is not a citizen of the United States.
