### 4056 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 17 / Thursday, January 26, 2012 / Notices

security programs and associated records available for inspection and copying by TSA to ensure transportation security and regulatory compliance.

The information requested of aircraft 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 aircraft operators’ flight crews, passengers and cargo. Specifically, TSA requires aircraft operators to submit the following information: (1) A master crew list of all flight and cabin crew members flying to and from the United States; (2) the flight crew list on a flight-by-flight basis; (3)passenger information on a flight-byflight basis; (4) total amount of cargo screened; and (5) total amount of cargo screened at 100%. Aircraft operators may provide the information electronically or manually. Under this regulation, aircraft operators must ensure that flight crew members and employees with unescorted access authority to a Security Identification Display Area (SIDA) or who perform screening, checked baggage, or cargo functions 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, aircraft operators must maintain these records, and records associated with compliance with Security Directives, and make them available to TSA for inspection and copying upon request.

TSA estimates that there will be approximately 800 respondents to the information requirements described above, requiring approximately 1,841,130 hours per year to process.
