Transportation Security Administration November 2012 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This notice announces that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has forwarded the new Information Collection Request (ICR) abstracted below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its expected burden. TSA published a Federal Register notice, with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments, of the following collection of information on May 29, 2012 77 FR 31632. TSA received four comments in response to this notice. Two comments were unrelated to the ICR. The remaining two comments were requests for program information. This voluntary information collection allows TSA to conduct transportation security-related assessments during site visits with security and operating officials of surface transportation entities.

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is altering and republishing an existing system of records notice (SORN) titled Department of Homeland Security/Transportation Security Administration 019 (DHS/TSA-019), Secure Flight Records, for the passenger and non-traveler screening program known as Secure Flight. TSA is republishing this SORN to reflect additions to TSA's screening capabilities designed to better focus enhanced passenger screening efforts on individuals likely to pose a threat to civil aviation, and to facilitate the secure and efficient travel of the vast majority of the traveling public by distinguishing them from individuals on federal government watch lists. This SORN includes modifications in the following areas of the SORN: Categories of individuals, categories of records, purpose(s), routine uses, disclosure to consumer reporting agencies, data retention and disposal, notification procedure, records access procedures, and the record source categories.
