SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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 is 

available at http://www.reginfo.gov. 

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 

(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 1652–0006; 

Employment Standards, 49 CFR parts 

1542 and 1544. The purpose of this 

information collection is to determine 

compliance with 49 CFR parts 1542 and 

1544. TSA requires that airport 

operators maintain records of criminal 

history records checks and security 

threat assessments in compliance with 

49 CFR part 1542 and a related security 

directive for those employees with 

access privileges to security 

identification display areas of the 

airport. TSA also requires that aircraft 

operators maintain records of 

compliance with 49 CFR part 1544 for 

selected crew and security employees. 

TSA Transportation Security Inspectors 

(TSIs) review these records to ensure 

that the safety and security of the public 

is not compromised, to include using 

this information to take corrective 

action when necessary. These 

regulations establish procedures that 

airports and airlines must carry out to 

protect persons and property against 

acts of criminal violence, aircraft piracy, 

and terrorist activities. The current 

estimated annual recordkeeping burden 

is 35,898 hours.

Information Collection Requirement 

OMB Control Number 1652–0002; 

Airport Security, 49 CFR part 1542. The 

information collected is used to 

determine compliance with 49 CFR part 

1542 and to ensure passenger safety and 

security by monitoring airport operator 

security procedures. TSA is seeking to 

renew its OMB control number, 1652–

0002, Airport Security. TSA has 

implemented airport operator security 

standards at 49 CFR part 1542 to require 

each airport operator to which this part 

applies to adopt and carry out a security 

program. These TSA-approved security 

programs establish procedures that 

airport operators must carry out to 

protect persons and property traveling 

on flights provided by U.S. aircraft 

operators and foreign air carriers against 

acts of criminal violence, aircraft piracy, 

and the introduction of explosives, 

incendiaries, or weapons aboard an 

aircraft. 

This information collection is 

mandatory for airport operators. As part 

of their security programs, affected 

airport operators are required to 

maintain and update, as necessary, 

records of compliance with the security 

program provisions set forth in 49 CFR 

part 1542. This regulation also requires 

affected airport operators to make their 

security programs and associated 

records available for inspection and 

copying by TSA to ensure transportation 

security and regulatory compliance. 

The information requested of airport 

operators has increased due to the 

security measures mandated by the 

Federal Government since September 

11, 2001. The information TSA now 

collects includes identifying 

information on individuals with 

unescorted access to the most secured 

areas of the airport. Under this 

regulation, airport operators must 

ensure that individuals seeking 

unescorted access authority submit to 

and receive a criminal history records 

check (CHRC). As part of the CHRC 

process, the individual must provide 

identifying information, including 

fingerprints. Additionally, airport 

operators must maintain these records 

and make them available to TSA for 

inspection and copying upon request. 

TSA will continue to collect 

information to determine airport 

operator compliance with other 

requirements of 49 CFR part 1542. TSA 

estimates that there will be 

approximately 444 airport operator 

respondents to the information 

requirements described above requiring 

approximately 535,705 hours per year to 

process. 

The current estimated annual burden 

is 535,705 hours annually.

Information Collection Requirement 

OMB Control Number 1652–0034; Law 

Enforcement Officer (LEO) Flying 

Armed Training. TSA is requesting 

approval for the renewal of the 

collection of this information to comply 

with 49 CFR 1544.219, which requires 

Federal LEOs or full-time territorial, 

tribal, municipal, county or state LEOs 

who are direct employees of government 

agencies, or authorized railroad police 

officers, to complete the LEO Flying 

Armed training course in order to fly 

armed. The course is a non-tactical 

overview of the conditions under which 

an officer may fly armed and the 

required conduct and duties of the LEO 

while flying armed. This collection 

would permit TSA to collect identifying 

information from law enforcement 

agencies requesting the LEO Flying 

Armed training course. 

Information will be gathered from law 

enforcement agencies who have 

requested the LEO Flying Armed 

training course. The information would 

be gathered to confirm that the agencies 

are eligible for this program (i.e., that 

they are active law enforcement 

agencies whose officers have an 

operational need to fly armed). Law 

enforcement agencies will be required to 

contact the TSA/FAMS via phone or email and provide the full name of the 

agency’s designated point of contact, 

agency name, and agency address, 

telephone number, and e-mail address 

to obtain the LEO Flying Armed training 

course. The FAMS will maintain a 

record of law enforcement agencies and 

their point of contact that have received 

the training materials. If an issue arises 

during the screening and verification 

process regarding the authenticity of an 

agency that requests training materials, 

no training materials will be supplied 

until that issue has either been 

confirmed or resolved and a record of 

such will be maintained. 

Upon completion of the training, the 

LEO who has been authorized by his or 

her agency to fly armed will present his 

or her credentials, and other required 

documentation at the airport in order to 

fly armed. A Transportation Security 

Officer will verify all pertinent 

information onsite. TSA estimates there 

will be approximately 2,000 

respondents on an annual basis, for a 

total annual hour burden of 167 hours.
