Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 37 / Friday, February 24, 2012 / Notices 11147 

to continue to conduct assessments of 

facilities applying for certification under 

the Certified Cargo Screening Program 

(CCSP). The Final Rule deleted the 

requirement that aircraft operators 

would have to become certified in order 

to screen cargo off airport. Aircraft 

operators are already screening cargo on 

airport, under a TSA-approved security 

program, and additional certification of 

aircraft operators is not necessary. TSA 

received approval from OMB for the 

collections of information contained in 

the IFR and now seeks to extend this 

approval from OMB on this Final Rule. 

Accordingly, TSA must proceed with 

this ICR for this program in order to 

continue to meet the Congressional 

mandate. The ICR allows TSA to collect 

several categories of information as 

explained below. 

Data Collection 

TSA certifies qualified facilities as 

CCSFs. Companies seeking to become 

CCSFs are required to submit an 

application for a security program and 

for certification to TSA at least 90 days 

before the intended date of operation. 

All CCSF applicants submit 

applications and related information 

either electronically through email, 

through the online Air Cargo Document 

Management System, or by postal mail. 

TSA requires CCSF applicants to 

ensure that individuals performing 

screening and related functions under 

the Final Rule have successfully 

completed a security threat assessment 

(STA) conducted by TSA. In addition, 

Security Coordinators and their 

alternates for CCSFs must undergo 

STAs. CCSFs must submit personally 

identifiable information on these 

individuals to TSA so that TSA can 

conduct an STA. TSA also requires 

CCSFs to accept and implement a 

standard security program provided by 

TSA or to submit a proposed modified 

security program to the designated TSA 

official for approval. The CCSF must 

also submit to an assessment of its 

facility by TSA. Once TSA approves the 

security program and determines that 

the applicant is qualified to be a CCSF, 

TSA will send the applicant a written 

notice of approval and certification to 

operate as a CCSF. 

Once certified, CCSFs must provide 

information on the amount of cargo 

screened and other cargo screening 

metrics at an approved facility. CCSFs 

must also maintain screening, training, 

and other security-related records of 

compliance with the Final Rule and 

make them available for TSA Inspectors. 

The forms used for this collection of 

information include the CCSF Facility 

Profile Application (TSA Form 419B), 

CCSF Principal Attestation (TSA Form 

419D), Security Profile (TSA Form 

419E), Security Threat Assessment 

Application (TSA Form 419F), Aviation 

Security Known Shipper Verification 

(TSA Form 419H), and the Cargo 

Reporting Template. 

Estimated Burden Hours 

As noted above, TSA has identified 

several separate information collections 

for the Final Rule under this ICR. These 

collections will affect an estimated total 

of 2,309 unique respondents, over the 

three years of the PRA analysis. 

Collectively, these five information 

collections represent an estimated 

average of 127,050 responses annually, 

for an average annual hour burden of 

143,768 hours. 

1. CCSF Application. TSA estimated 

that it will receive 2,902 applications in 

3 years, for an average of 967 

applications annually (this includes 

submissions from new applicants and 

CCSFs applying to renew their 

certification). TSA further estimated 

that these applications will require an 

average of 2 hours each to complete, 

resulting in an annual burden of 

approximately 1,934 hours (967 × 2). 

2. STA Applications. All CCSP 

participants subject to 49 CFR parts 

1544, 1546, 1548, and 1549 will be 

required to have certain employees 

undergo security threat assessments 

(STAs). TSA estimated it will receive a 

total of 153,516 applications in 3 years, 

for an average of 51,172 applications 

annually. TSA further estimated that 

STA applications will require 

approximately 15 minutes each to 

complete, resulting in an annual burden 

of approximately 12,793 hours (51,172 × 

0.25). 

3. Security Programs. TSA estimated 

that a total of 1,778 CCSFs will be 

required to maintain and update their 

security programs in 3 years, for an 

average of 593 CCSFs annually. Each 

firm will devote approximately 42 hours 

to create their initial security program, 

resulting in an estimated annual burden 

of 24,906 hours (593 × 42). TSA 

estimated 3,701 security program 

updates in the first three years for an 

average of 1,234 updates per year. TSA 

further estimated that security program 

updates will require approximately 4 

hours each to complete, resulting in an 

annual burden of approximately 4,936 

hours (1,234 × 4). 

4. Recordkeeping Requirements. All 

CCSFs will be required to maintain 

records of compliance with the FR. TSA 

estimated a time burden of 

approximately five minutes (0.083 

hours) annually per employee who is 

required to have an STA for each CCSF 

to file the training records and other 

records of compliance. TSA estimated 

an annual burden of approximately 

4,247 hours (51,172 × 0.083). 

5. Cargo Reporting. TSA estimated 

that all CCSFs will complete monthly 

cargo volume reports at an estimated 

time of one hour each per week. The 

average annual responses, based on one 

response per firm per month, are 21,912 

(1,826 × 12). The estimated annual 

burden is 94,952 hours (1,826 × 52).

IDENT/IAFIS Interoperability State 

Department of Corrections Officials and 

Facilities Assessment. 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the 

Department of Homeland Security 

sponsoring the collection: Form 70–003, 

70–004; U.S. Immigration and Customs 

Enforcement. Forms 75–001 and 75– 

002, previously indicated as being a part

(4) Affected public who will be asked

abstract: Primary: State. Local or Tribal 

Government; 8 U.S.C. 1231(a) gives the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS), U.S. Immigration and Customs 

Enforcement (ICE) authority to remove 

criminal aliens who have been ordered 

as such. DHS/ICE is improving 

community safety by transforming the 

way the Federal government cooperates 

with state and local law enforcement 

agencies to identify, detain, and remove 

all criminal aliens held in custody. 

Secure Communities revolutionizes 

immigration enforcement by using 

technology to share information 

between law enforcement agencies and 

applying risk-based methodologies to 

focus resources on assisting all local 

communities remove high-risk criminal 

aliens. In order for the Secure 

Communities Initiatives to meet its 

goals, ICE must collect detailed business 

requirements and input from its state 

and local law enforcement partners. 

This assessment determines the 

fingerprint procedures and 

technological capabilities of state and 

local jails governance, as well as basic 

jail booking statistics. This information 

is used in order to prioritize local sites 

and deliver the implementation strategy 

of the Secure Communities Initiative.
