80132 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 239 / Friday, December 11, 2020 / Notices 

transportation originating at airports in 

the United States. 

The September 11th Security Fee is 

collected by TSA and transmitted to the 

U.S. Treasury Department to offset the 

Federal Government’s costs of providing 

civil aviation security services and other 

purposes designated by section 44940. 

This information collection requires air 

carriers to submit to TSA information 

regarding the amount of September 11th 

Security Fees an air carrier has imposed, 

collected, refunded to passengers, and 

remitted to TSA. The retention of this 

data is necessary for TSA to ensure the 

proper imposition, collection, and 

regulation the September 11th Security 

Fee. Additionally, TSA collects the 

information to monitor carrier 

compliance with the fee requirements 

and for auditing purposes. Air carriers 

are required to retain this information 

for three years. Specifically, information 

collected during a given fiscal year 

(October 1 through September 30) must 

be retained through three subsequent 

fiscal years. For example, information 

collected during fiscal year 2020 must 

be retained through fiscal year 2023. 

TSA’s regulations require air carriers 

to impose and collect the fee on 

passengers, and to submit the fee to TSA 

by the final day of the calendar month 

following the month in which the fee 

was collected. See 49 CFR 1510.13. Air 

carriers are further required to submit 

quarterly reports to TSA, which indicate 

the amount of the fees imposed, 

collected, and refunded to passengers, 

and remitted to TSA. See 49 CFR 

1510.17. 

Each air carrier that collects security 

service fees from more than 50,000 

passengers annually is also required to 

submit to TSA an annual independent 

audit, performed by an independent 

certified public accountant, of its 

security service fee activities and 

accounts. See 49 CFR 1510.15. Although 

the annual independent audit 

requirements were suspended on 

January 23, 2003 (see 68 FR 3192), TSA 

conducts its own audits of the air 

carriers. See 49 CFR 1510.11. 

Notwithstanding the suspension of the 

audit requirements, air carriers must 

establish and maintain an accounting 

system to account for the security 

service fees imposed, collected, 

refunded to passengers and remitted to 

TSA. See 49 CFR 1510.15(a). 

TSA is seeking an extension of this 

collection to require air carriers to 

continue submitting the quarterly 

reports to TSA, and to require air 

carriers to retain the information for 

three fiscal years after the fiscal year in 

which the information was collected. 

This requirement includes retaining the 

source information for the quarterly 

reports remitted to TSA as well as the 

calculations performed to create the 

reports submitted to TSA. Should the 

annual audit requirement be reinstated, 

the requirement would include 

information and documents reviewed 

and prepared for the independent audit; 

the accountant’s working papers, notes, 

worksheets, and other relevant 

documentation used in the audit; and, if 

applicable, the specific information 

leading to the accountant’s opinion, 

including any determination that the 

accountant could not provide an audit 

opinion. Although TSA suspended the 

independent audit requirement, TSA 

conducts audits of the air carriers, and 

therefore, requires air carriers to retain 

and provide the same information as 

required for the quarterly reports and 

independent audits. 

TSA has incorporated minor 

adjustments to the figures used to 

estimate the costs of this ICR. The 

adjustments consider changes in the 

number of regulated air carriers and 

various administrative cost rates since 

the previous extension. TSA estimates 

that 170 total respondent air carriers 

will each spend approximately 1 hour to 

prepare and submit each quarterly 

report. TSA estimates that these 

respondents will incur a total of 680 

hours (170 carriers × 4 quarterly reports 

× 1 hour per report) to satisfy the 

quarterly reporting requirements 

annually. 

TSA estimates 274 total responses 

from all respondent air carriers (170 

plus 104, should the annual audit 

requirement be reinstated), with 2,760 

burden hours (680 hours for quarterly 

reports and 2,080 hours for audits) 

annually to satisfy the quarterly report 

and audit requirements. 

TSA estimates that the 170 air carriers 

will each incur an average cost of 

$456.56 annually to satisfy the quarterly 

reporting requirement. This estimate 

includes $383.36 in labor for 

preparation of each quarterly report (4 

reports × $95.84 per hour, each 

quarterly report is estimated to take 1 

hour to prepare), $71.00 in annual 

records storage related costs, and $2.20 

for postage to submit the report (4 

stamps at 55 cents each). TSA estimates 

an aggregate annual cost of $77,615.20 

($456.56 cost × 170 air carriers) for all 

air carriers to prepare, store, and submit 

quarterly reports and a cost of 

$232,845.60 for the three-year extension 

period requested. 

Should TSA reinstate the audit 

requirement, TSA estimates that 104 air 

carriers, of the 170 total respondent 

carriers that collect fees from more than 

50,000 passengers annually, would be 

required to submit annual audits. These 

carriers would take approximately 20 

hours for audit preparation, for a total 

of 2,080 hours (104 carriers × 20 hours 

per audit) annually. Air carriers 

required to submit annual audits would 

incur an average cost of $2,508.20 per 

audit. This estimate includes $2,433.40 

in labor for preparation of each audit (20 

hours per report × $121.67 per hour), 

$71.00 in annual records storage related 

costs, and $3.80 for postage to submit 

the report. TSA estimates an aggregate 

annual cost of $13,042.64 ($2,508.20 

cost × 104 air carriers × .05 likelihood 

of audit to occur) for all air carriers to 

prepare, store, and summit the annual 

audit should the requirement be 

reinstated and $39,127.92 for the threeyear extension period requested.
