on June 18, 2018. As part of the notice, TSA 

specifically requested ways to reduce the burden of 

recordkeeping. 

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).

ACTION: 60-Day notice. 

SUMMARY: The Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA) invites public 

comment on one currently approved 

Information Collection Request (ICR), 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) control number 1652–0021, 

abstracted below, that we will submit to 

OMB for an extension in compliance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act 

(PRA). The ICR describes the nature of 

the information collection and its

involves information necessary to 

conduct security threat assessments for 

all aliens and other designated 

individuals seeking flight instruction 

(‘‘candidates’’) from Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA)-certified flight 

training providers. Pursuant to statute, 

TSA will use the information collected 

to determine whether a candidate poses 

or is suspected of posing a threat to 

aviation or national security, and thus 

prohibited from receiving flight training.

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 1652–0021, 

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.

Information Collection Requirement 

OMB Control Number 1652–0060; 

Aircraft Repair Station Security. In 

accordance with 49 U.S.C. 44924 and 49 

CFR part 1554, TSA performs security 

reviews and audits of aircraft repair 

stations located within and outside of 

the United States. 

On December 12, 2003, the President 

of the United States signed into law the 

Vision 100 Century of Aviation 

Reauthorization Act (the Act). Section 

611 of the Act requires the Department 

of Homeland Security (DHS) to ensure 

the security of aircraft repair stations. 

The Act further requires a security 

review and audit of repair stations 

located outside the United States, with 

a 145-certificate issued by the FAA. 

TSA, on behalf of DHS, is the agency to 

conduct the relevant tasks associated 

with this legislation. In response to the 

Act, TSA published a final rule setting 

forth the new requirements. See 79 FR 

2119 (January 13, 2014). 

Repair stations certificated by the 

FAA under part 145 and located on or 

adjacent to an airport, as defined in 49 

CFR 1554.101(a)(1) and (2), are required 

to implement security requirements. 

Unless located on a military installation, 

these repair stations are subject to 

inspection by TSA. 

The required security measures 

include designating a TSA point of 

contact and preventing the operation of 

unattended large aircraft that are 

capable of flight. A repair station owner 

or operator also is responsible for 

maintaining updated employment 

history records to demonstrate 

compliance with the regulatory 

requirements. These records must be 

made available to TSA upon request. If 

TSA discovers security deficiencies, a 

repair station may be subject to 

suspension or, in extreme cases, 

withdrawal of its certification by the 

FAA if such deficiencies are not 

corrected. A repair station owner or 

operator may petition for 

reconsideration (appeal) of a 

determination by TSA that FAA must 

suspend or revoke its certificate. TSA 

uses the collected information to 

determine compliance with the security 

measures required under 49 CFR part 

1554. 

The respondents to this information 

collection are the owners and/or 

operators of repair stations certificated 

by the FAA under 14 CFR part 145, 

which is estimated to be 4,013 aircraft 

repair stations located in the United 

States and 874 repair stations located 

outside the United States. 

Respondent repair stations are 

required to submit and update Security 

point of contact (POC) information, 

respond to requests to inspect 

documentation, and may petition for 

reconsideration. For these activities, 

TSA estimates that all respondent repair 

stations will incur a total of 1,176 hours 

annually to satisfy the collection 

requirements.
