Abstract: Section 223 of the 

Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) 

(8 U.S.C. 1223(a)) provides for the 

necessity of a transportation contract. 

The statute provides that the Attorney 

General may enter into contracts with 

transportation lines for the inspection 

and administration of aliens coming 

into the United States from a foreign 

territory or from adjacent islands. No 

such transportation line shall be 

allowed to land any such alien in the 

United States until and unless it has 

entered into any such contracts which 

may be required by the Attorney 

General. Pursuant to the Homeland 

Security Act of 2002, this authority was 

transferred to the Secretary of Homeland 

Security. 

The Visa Waiver Program Carrier

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

SECURITY 

Transportation Security Administration 

Intent To Request Approval From OMB 

of One New Public Collection of 

Information: Law Enforcement Officers 

(LEOs) Flying Armed 

AGENCY: Transportation Security 

Administration, DHS. 

ACTION: 60-Day notice. 

SUMMARY: The Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA) invites public 

comment on a new Information 

Collection Request (ICR) abstracted 

below that we will submit to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) for 

approval in compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The 

ICR describes the nature of the 

information collection and its expected 

burden. The collection involves 

gathering information from state, local 

and tribal armed law enforcement 

officers (LEOs) who require specialized 

screening at the checkpoint. 

DATES: Send your comments by 

September 25, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be emailed 

to TSAPRA@tsa.dhs.gov or delivered to 

the TSA PRA Officer, Information 

Technology (IT), TSA–11, 

Transportation Security Administration, 

601 South 12th Street, Arlington, VA 

20598–6011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Christina A. Walsh at the above address, 

or by telephone (571) 227–2062. 

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 

TSA has broad statutory authority to 

assess a security risk for any mode of 

transportation, develop security 

measures for dealing with that risk, and 

enforce compliance with those 

measures.1

TSA’s mission includes the screening 

of individuals, accessible property, 

checked baggage, and cargo before 

boarding or loading on an aircraft to 

prevent or deter the carriage of any 

explosive, incendiary, or deadly or 

dangerous weapon on an aircraft. Under 

49 CFR 1540.107, individuals are 

required to submit to screening and 

inspection before entering a sterile area 

of an airport or boarding an aircraft. The 

prohibition on carrying a weapon, 

however, does not apply to LEOs 

required to carry a firearm or other 

weapons while in the performance of 

law enforcement duties at the airport. 

See 49 CFR 1540.111(b). In addition, 

LEOs may fly armed if they meet the 

requirements of 49 CFR 1544.219. This 

section includes requirements for 

authorization to carry the weapon; 

training for flying armed; validation of 

the need for the weapon; notification 

requirements; prohibition related to 

consuming alcohol, and appropriation 

location of the weapon. 

TSA has established a specialized 

screening process for State, local, and 

tribal LEOs when they are flying armed 

and need to go through screening at the 

checkpoint. When this situation will 

occur, LEOs are required to complete

TSA Form 413A, Checkpoint Sign-In 

Log. 

Purpose and Description of Data 

Collection 

The information collected on TSA 

Form 413A includes identifying 

information on the LEOs; an affirmation 

that they are authorized to fly armed on 

official business and that they have an 

operational need to have their weapon 

accessible during the flight in 

accordance with 49 CFR part 1544; and 

identification of weapons they are 

carrying. 

The information required by this form 

is used by the TSA Security Operations 

Center and the Law Enforcement/ 

Federal Air Marshals Service in order to 

have situational awareness of armed law 

enforcement officer(s) presence on 

flights conducted by 49 CFR parts 1544 

and/or 1546 regulated parties (aircraft 

operators and foreign air carriers). This 

real-time situational awareness is 

necessary in the event of a contingency 

on board the aircraft; such as but not 

limited to, a disruptive passenger, air 

piracy, or other threat to the safety and 

security of a commercial aircraft. 

Respondents to this collection are 

State, local, and tribal police officers 

travelling with their weapons. TSA uses 

historical data to estimate 68,000 

average annual responses. Each check-in 

requires filling out a log book and TSA 

estimates this activity requires one 

minute (0.0167 hours) to complete. TSA 

estimates this collection will place an 

annual average hour burden of 1,133 

hours on the public. 

Use of Results 

TSA will use the information to have 

situational awareness of the presence of 

armed LEOs on flights conducted by 49 

CFR parts 1544 and/or 1546 regulated 

parties (aircraft operators and foreign air 

carriers).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gold 

Rock Mine Project would involve 

construction and operation of an openpit gold mine on public land in White 

Pine County, Nevada. Midway Gold 

U.S. was the original proponent. GRP 

Gold Rock, LLC Inc. (GRP) purchased 

the project in 2016. The project would 

involve expansion of an existing open 

pit and construction of two waste rock 

disposal areas, heap leaching facilities 

with an adsorption/desorption refining 

plant, a carbon-in-leach plant, a tailings 

storage facility, roads, ancillary support 

facilities, and exploration areas. A 69kV 

power line would be built and tied into 

an existing power line with the Pan 

Mine located north of the project area. 

Water with which GRP has rights would 

be supplied via an existing well located 

on BLM-administered lands south of the 

main Project footprint. Construction and 

mining operations would occur within 

the fenced 8,757 acres and would 

disturb 3,946 acres. The proposed action 

also includes 200 acres of exploration 

disturbance in addition to the 267 acres 

of previously authorized exploration 

outside the fenced area. 

The Final EIS describes and analyzes 

the proposed project site-specific 

impacts (including cumulative effects) 

on all affected resources. The Final EIS 

describes eight alternatives: (1) The 

Proposed Action; (2) the Northern 

Power Line Route Alternative; (3) the 

Southern Power Line Route Alternative; 

(4) the Northwest Main Access Route 

Alternative, Northern Power Line Route; 

(5) the Northwest Main Access Route 

Alternative, Southern Power Line Route; 

(6) the Modified County Road Re-Route 

Alternative; (7) the Western Tailings 

Storage Facility Alternative; and (8) the 

No Action Alternative. 

1. Proposed Action 

The proposed Project would be 

constructed and operated in the same 

geographic area as the reclaimed and 

closed Easy Junior Mine. The proposed 

Project consists of an open pit, two 

waste rock disposal areas, a heap leach 

pad and processing ponds, a carbon-inleach plant, a tailings storage facility, 

haul and access roads, growth medium 

stockpiles, ancillary support facilities, 

and exploration associated with mining 

operation. Also under the Proposed 

Action, a 69-kV transmission line would 

extend south from the Pan Mine, east of 

and parallel to the approved Pan Mine 

Southwest Power Line, then extend 

southeast to the mine area. The site 

would be accessed using the existing 

main access route from US 50 on Green 

Springs Road (CR 5), then west on BLM 

Road 1179 (BLM 1179)/CR 1204, then 

south on Easy Junior Road (CR 1177) to 

the proposed mine area. Also under the 

Proposed Action, a county road that 

currently passes through the Gold Rock 

Mine Project area would be re-located 

onto existing and new BLM and county 

roads. Total disturbance in the project 

area would be approximately 3,946 

acres.
