11146 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 37 / Friday, February 24, 2012 / Notices 

on passenger aircraft. Further, TSA will 

collect identifying information for both 

companies and individuals whom 

aircraft operators, foreign air carriers, 

and IACs have qualified to ship cargo on 

passenger aircraft, also referred to as 

‘‘known shippers.’’ This information is 

collected electronically via the KSMS 

and the Indirect Air Carrier 

Management System (IACMS). 

Whenever the information cannot be 

entered on KSMS or IACMS, the 

regulated entity must conduct a 

physical visit of the shipper using the 

Aviation Security Known Shipper 

Verification Form and subsequently 

enter that information into these 

systems. These regulated entities must 

also maintain records, including records 

pertaining to security programs, 

training, and compliance. The forms 

used in this collection of information 

include the Aviation Security Known 

Shipper Verification Form, Cargo 

Reporting Template, and the Security 

Threat Assessment Application. 

Estimated Burden Hours 

The hour burden associated with the 

initial submission of security programs 

is estimated by TSA to be 4 hours for 

each of the 152 aircraft operator, foreign 

air carrier and IAC average annual 

regulated entites for an average annual 

hour burden of 606 hours. 

The hour burden associated with the 

security program updates is estimated 

by TSA to be 4 hours for each of the 

4,509 aircraft operators, foreign air 

carriers, and IACs for an average annual 

hour burden of 18,036 hours. TSA 

estimates one percent of IACs (42) will 

file an appeal at 5 hours per appeal for 

an average annual hour burden of 210 

hours. 

For the STA requirement, based on a 

15-minute estimate for each of the 

average 40,003 annual responses, TSA 

estimates that the average annual 

burden will be 10,001 hours. 

For the record keeping requirement, 

based on a 5-minute estimate for each of 

the 40,003 annual responses, TSA 

estimates that the total average annual 

burden will be 3,320 hours. 

For the KSMS, given that the IAC or 

aircraft operator must input a name, 

address, and telephone number, TSA 

estimates it will take 2 minutes for the 

792,000 electronic submissions for a 

total annual burden of 26,400 hours. 

Also for KSMS, TSA estimates it will 

take one hour for the 8,000 manual 

submissions for a total annual burden of 

8,000 hours. 

TSA estimates out of the 480 total 

aircraft operators and foreign air carriers 

impacted by TSA regulations, 135 

aircraft operators and foreign air carriers 

will submit cargo screening reporting 

information because not all aircraft 

operators and foreign air carriers 

transport cargo. TSA estimates this will 

take an estimated one hour per week (52 

hours per year) for a total average 

annual burden of 6,994 hours. For 

recordkeeping, based on a 5-minute 

estimate for each of the 40,003 average 

annual responses, TSA estimates that 

the total average annual burden will be 

3,320 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 is 

available at www.reginfo.gov. 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. 

Information Collection Requirement 

OMB Control Number 1652–0053, 

Certified Cargo Screening Program, 49 

CFR parts 1515, 1520, 1540, 1544, 1546, 

1548, and 1549. TSA is seeking renewal 

of an expiring collection of information. 

Section 1602 of the Implementing 

Recommendations of the 9/11 

Commission Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110– 

53, 121 Stat. 266, 278, August 3, 2007) 

required the development of a system to 

screen 50 percent of the cargo 

transported on a passenger aircraft by 

February 2009, and to screen 100 

percent of such cargo by August 2010. 

In September 2009, TSA issued an 

interim final rule (IFR) amending 49 

CFR to implement this statutory 

requirement. See 74 FR 47672 

(September 16, 2009). In August 2011, 

TSA issued the Air Cargo Screening 

Final Rule (Final Rule) to finalize the 

statutory requirement for 100 percent 

screening of air cargo. See 76 FR 51848 

(August 18, 2011). The Final Rule 

removed all provisions regarding 

validation firms and validators, as TSA 

has determined that it has the resources 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
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).
