overseas.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of 
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the

    OMB Control Number: 2120-XXXX.
    Title: International Traveler Information Card.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
information collection.
    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on May 1, 2024 (89 FR 35298). The International Traveler 
Information Card (ITIC) is an electronic form that FAA employees and 
contractors will complete prior to international travel on official 
business. The purpose of the form is to collect pertinent data to be 
used in the event a FAA employee and/or contractor are isolated 
overseas and require lifesaving assistance. This data will assist in 
the government's ability to properly identify individuals and provide, 
if necessary, medical support and personal items to FAA employees and 
contractors should they be isolated overseas.
    The authority for this collection resides in Presidential Policy 
Directive (PPD)/PPD-30, 22 U.S.C. 4802 and 22 U.S.C. 3927. The duty of 
an agency with employees in foreign countries is to ensure they fully 
comply with all applicable directives of the Chief of Mission. In order 
to protect FAA personnel on official duty abroad, the ITIC documents 
the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of FAA employees and 
contractors to help aid in their authentication and recovery. The ITIC 
requests the following PII: Name, Date of Birth, Gender, Height, 
Weight, Hair and Eye Color, Clothing and Shoe Size, Race/Ethnic Group, 
Blood Type, Scars/Marks/Tattoos, Known Medical Conditions, Current 
Medical Prescriptions, Allergies, Contact Information, Specialized 
Training, Language(s) Spoken, as well as information about their 
Emergency Contact. The traveler will also create a Duress Word and 
Personal Authenticator Statements to aid in the identification.
    This information will not be available to the public, and will be 
managed in accordance with applicable Records Management and Privacy 
Act policies. Only two International Travel Security Program Managers 
and the Senior Watch Officer of the Washington Operations Center can 
retrieve ITICs to aid employees and/or contractors during an isolating 
event, as determined by the Chief of Mission. The Chief of Mission, 
relying on situational factors, will make the ultimate decision on who 
this information is shared with, such as, but not limited to, the 
Department of Defense, in the event of a personnel recovery event.
    Respondents: The FAA estimates that there will be 35 respondents 
based on the average number of contractors who travelled 
internationally on official business in fiscal years 2023-2024.
    Frequency: As needed.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 0.5 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 17.5 hours for all responses.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on November 8, 2024.
Michelle Salter,
Executive Director, FAA, Office of Investigations and Professional 
Responsibility.
