DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Transportation Security Administration


Notice of Intent To Request Renewal From the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) of a Current Public Collection of Information; Airport 
Access Control Pilot Program (AACPP); Satisfaction and Effectiveness 
Measurement Data Collection Instruments

AGENCY: Transportation Security Administration (TSA), DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: TSA invites public comment on a currently approved information 
collection requirement abstracted below that will be submitted to OMB 
for renewal in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act.

DATES: Send your comments by December 13, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed or delivered to Lisa Dean, Privacy 
Officer, Office of Transportation Security Policy, TSA-9, 
Transportation Security Administration, 601 South 12th Street, 
Arlington, VA 22202-4220.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa Dean at the above address or by 
telephone (571) 227-3947 or facsimile (571) 227-2555.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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. Therefore, 
in preparation for submission to renew clearance 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
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    TSA intends to continue testing and evaluating certain new and 
emerging biometric and other technologies through the Airport Access 
Control Pilot Program (AACPP), which is currently being conducted under 
OMB control number 1652-0020. TSA will gather biometric information, 
demographic information, and airport user identification from a select 
group of participants at 22 locations to test the use of emerging 
technologies for airport access control and then evaluate those 
technologies using two satisfaction instruments. The first instrument 
will be a survey given to a representative sample of airport users and 
the second instrument will be an interview conducted with the lead 
stakeholder at each site and a small percentage of persons 
participating in the project. Surveys and interviews will be voluntary. 
TSA estimates the total annual number of respondents for this 
collection to be 2,620 individuals and the total annual burden to be 
780 hours. There is no cost burden to any of the respondents.

    Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on October 7, 2004.

Privacy Officer.
