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 

Title: Transportation Security Officer 

(TSO) Medical Questionnaire. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

OMB Control Number: 1652–0032. 

Forms(s): Transportation Security 

Officer Medical Questionnaire, Cancer 

Further Evaluation, Cardiac Surgery 

Further Evaluation, Cardiac Further 

Evaluation, Diabetes Further Evaluation, 

Drug or Alcohol Use Further Evaluation, 

General Medical Further Evaluation, 

Hearing Further Evaluation, Hepatitis

Pacemaker Further Evaluation, Palmar 

Sensation Further Evaluation, 

Respiratory Further Evaluation, Seizure

Further Evaluation, Vision Further 

Evaluation, Vital Signs Further 

Evaluation, and Mental Health Further 

Evaluation. 

Affected Public: Applicants for 

employment as a Transportation 

Security Officer with TSA. 

Abstract: TSA currently collects 

relevant medical information from 

Transportation Security Officer (TSO) 

candidates for the purpose of assessing 

whether the candidates meet the 

medical qualification standards the 

agency has established pursuant to the 

Aviation and Transportation Security 

Act (ATSA) (49 U.S.C. 44935). TSA 

collects this information through a 

medical questionnaire completed by 

TSO candidates and, in certain cases, 

further evaluation forms completed by 

TSO candidates’ health care providers. 

The medical questionnaire and further 

evaluation forms evaluate a candidate’s 

physical and medical qualifications to 

be a TSO, including visual and aural 

acuity, physical coordination, and 

motor skills. Only TSO candidates who 

successfully complete the hiring process 

up to the medical evaluation are 

required to complete the medical 

questionnaire. Candidates who disclose 

certain medical conditions on the 

medical questionnaire may be asked to 

have their health care provider complete 

one or more further evaluation forms. 

Historical data indicate that 

approximately 30 percent of candidates 

reaching the medical evaluation will be 

required to complete one or more 

further evaluation forms. 

TSA has a variety of further 

evaluation forms, each of which pertain 

to particular body systems and medical 

conditions, including cardiac, 

orthopedic, endocrine, vitals, and 

others. The type of further evaluation 

form(s) completed by a candidate’s 

health care provider depend(s) on the 

condition(s) revealed during a 

candidate’s initial medical evaluation 

and disclosed on the initial medical 

questionnaire. For example, a candidate 

who discloses a previous back injury 

may be required to have his/her health 

care provider complete a further 

evaluation form to enable the agency to 

better evaluate whether the candidate 

can perform the TSO job safely and 

efficiently without excessive risk of 

accident or injury to himself/herself or 

others. A TSA contractor facilitates 

receipt and processing of all forms. 

Number of Respondents: There are an 

estimated total of 26,565 TSO 

candidates and their respective health 

care providers, nationwide. This 

number includes an estimated 14,750 

candidates completing the TSO medical 

questionnaire and an estimated 4,425 

candidates (30% of 14,750) required to 

complete at least one further evaluation 

form. TSA has estimated that these 

estimated 4,425 applicants will visit 

approximately 1.67 health care 

providers. As such, the 26,565 figure 

also includes an estimated 7,390 health 

care providers (4,425 × 1.67) completing 

further evaluation form(s). 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 

After further evaluation, TSA has 

increased the annual burden estimate 

published in the notice published on 

October 26, 2009. The estimated total 

annual burden for applicants, including 

applicants required to complete further 

evaluation forms, and health care 

providers is 12,912 hours.
