which requires name-based security 

threat assessments for all passengers, 

flight crews and armed security officers 

on board each flight. TSA uses the 

information to conduct security threat 

assessments of persons on these flights 

to protect against and mitigate threats to 

transportation security. 

TSA collects information from 

applicants applying for a waiver or 

flight authorization either online via 

https://waivers.faa.gov, or by 

completing a waiver or flight 

authorization form requested via 

facsimile. It is recommended that 

applicants submit the request 

electronically within five business days 

prior to the start date of the flight. To 

obtain a waiver, the aircraft operator 

must submit information about the 

flight and provide certain information 

about all passengers and crew on board 

the flight for TSA to perform a security 

threat assessment on each individual. 

To obtain a flight authorization, the 

aircraft operator must submit 

information about all passengers, flight 

crews, and armed security officers on 

board each flight for TSA to perform a 

name-based security threat assessment 

on each individual. Specifically, waiver 

and flight authorization requests must 

include the purpose of the flight, the 

aircraft type and registration number, 

including aircraft operator’s company 

name and address, and the proposed 

itinerary. Additionally, aircraft 

operators must provide the names, dates 

and places of birth, and Social Security 

or passport numbers of all passengers 

and crew, and, in the case of flight 

authorizations, armed security officers. 

The current estimated annual reporting 

burden is 7,078 hours.

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 will be 

available at http://www.reginfo.gov 

upon its submission to OMB. 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. 

Consistent with the requirements of 

Executive Order (E.O.) 13771, Reducing 

Regulation and Controlling Regulatory 

Costs, and E.O. 13777, Enforcing the 

Regulatory Reform Agenda, TSA is also 

requesting comments on the extent to 

which this request for information could 

be modified to reduce the burden on 

respondents. 

Information Collection Requirement 

OMB Control Number 1652–0044; 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) Traveler Redress Inquiry Program 

(DHS TRIP). DHS TRIP is a single point 

of contact for individuals who have 

inquiries or seek resolution regarding 

difficulties they have experienced 

during their travel screening. These 

difficulties could include: (1) Denied or 

delayed boarding; (2) denied or delayed 

entry into or departure from the United 

States at a port of entry; or (3) identified 

for additional (secondary) screening at 

our Nation’s transportation facilities, 

including airports, seaports, train 

stations and land borders. The TSA 

manages the DHS TRIP office on behalf 

of DHS. To request redress, individuals 

are asked to provide identifying 

information, as well as details of their 

travel experience in two surveys. 

The DHS TRIP office serves as a 

centralized intake office for traveler 

requests for redress and uses the online 

Traveler Inquiry Form (TIF) to collect 

requests for redress. DHS TRIP then 

passes the information to the relevant 

DHS TRIP practitioner office(s), 

including components of DHS, the U.S. 

Department of State, and the U.S. 

Department of Justice, to process the 

request, as appropriate. Participating 

DHS components include TSA, U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection, U.S. 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration 

Services, the National Protection and 

Programs Directorate’s Office of 

Biometric Information Management, 

Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, 

and the Privacy Office, along with the 

U.S. Department of State, Bureau of 

Consular Affairs, and the U.S. 

Department of Justice, Terrorist 

Screening Center. This collection serves 

to distinguish misidentified individuals 

from an individual actually on any 

watch list that DHS uses, to initiate the 

correction of erroneous information 

about an individual contained in 

government-held records, which are 

leading to travel difficulties, and, where 

appropriate, to help streamline and 

expedite future check-in or border 

crossing experiences. It also serves to 

obtain information about the redress 

applicants’ level of satisfaction with the 

DHS TRIP application process with the 

aim of using this information to identify 

areas for improvement. 

DHS estimates completing the form, 

and gathering and submitting the 

information will take approximately one 

hour. The annual respondent 

population was derived from data

contained within the DHS case 

management database and reflects the 

actual number of respondents for the 

most recent calendar year. The 

estimated annual number of burden 

hours for passengers seeking redress, 

based on 15,000 annual respondents, is 

15,000 hours (15,000 × 1). DHS 

estimates 10 percent of the 15,000 

respondents completing the form will 

complete the two surveys to share 

details of their application experience. 

The completion of the surveys will take 

approximately 10 minutes, giving an 

estimated annual number of burden 

hours as 250 (1,500 × .0167). The total 

estimated annual number of burden 

hours for this collection is 15,250 

(15,000 + 250).

Information Collection Requirement 

OMB Control Number 1652–0021, 

Flight Training for Aliens and Other 

Designated Individuals; Security 

Awareness Training for Flight School 

Employees, 49 CFR part 1552. Under 49 

CFR part 1552, TSA conducts security 

threat assessments for all aliens and 

other designated individuals seeking 

flight instruction with Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA)-certified flight 

training providers.1 The purpose of this 

requirement is to ensure flight training 

candidates do not pose a threat to 

aviation or national security and thus 

permitted to receive flight training. The 

collection of information required under 

49 CFR part 1552 includes candidates’ 

biographic information and fingerprints, 

which TSA uses to perform the security 

threat assessment. 

Additionally, flight training providers 

are required to maintain records of 

security awareness training provided to 

their employees. See subpart B of 49 

CFR part 1552. This training, which is 

intended to increase awareness of 

suspicious circumstances and activities 

of individuals enrolling in, or attending, 

flight training, must be provided to 

certain employees within 60 days of 

being hired and on an annual recurring 

basis. The flight training providers must 

maintain records of the training 

completed throughout the course of the 

individual’s employment, and for one 

year after the individual is no longer a 

flight training provider employee.2

Based on the numbers of respondents 

to date, TSA estimates a total of 71,600 

respondents annually: 53,900 candidate 

training requests, 5,600 flight training 

providers’ candidates and employee 

records and an additional 12,100 flight 

training providers’ employee records. 

Respondents are required to provide the 

subject information every time an alien 

or other designated individual applies 

for pilot training as described in the 

regulation. TSA estimates an average of 

45 minutes to complete each 

application, for a total approximate 

application burden of 40,425 hours per 

year. Flight training providers must 

keep records for each flight training 

candidate for five years from the time 

they are created. TSA estimates an 

average of 5 minutes per training record, 

for a total approximate recordkeeping 

hour burden of 4,492 hours. TSA 

estimates an average of 5 minutes per 

record of security awareness training of 

flight school employees, for a total 

approximate recordkeeping hour burden 

of 5,750 hours. Thus, TSA estimates the 

combined hour burden associated with 

this collection to be 50,667 hours 

annually.
