Transportation Security Administration 

New Agency Information Collection 

Activity Under OMB Review: 

Application To Participate in the 

Screening Partnership Program (SPP) 

AGENCY: Transportation Security 

Administration, DHS. 

ACTION: 30-day Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces that 

the Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA) has forwarded the 

new Information Collection Request 

(ICR) abstracted below to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The 

ICR describes the nature of the 

information collection and its expected 

burden. TSA published a Federal 

Register notice, with a 60-day comment 

period soliciting comments, of the 

following collection of information on 

July 2, 2014, 79 FR 37763. The 

collection involves the TSA’s Screening 

Partnership Program (SPP) (49 U.S.C. 

44920 (ATSA § 108)), which enables 

commercial airports to apply for a 

qualified private screening company to 

provide passenger and baggage security 

screening services. An airport submits 

the SPP application to have employees 

of qualified private companies carry out 

the screening of passengers and 

property at the airport under a contract 

entered into with TSA. The application 

process is the initial notification to TSA 

Headquarters of an airport’s desire to 

opt-out of the federal screening 

provided by TSA employees. 

DATES: Send your comments by 

February 27, 2015. A comment to OMB 

is most effective if OMB receives it 

within 30 days of publication. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit written comments on 

the proposed information collection to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, OMB. Comments should be 

addressed to Desk Officer, Department 

of Homeland Security/TSA, and sent via 

electronic mail to oira_submission@

omb.eop.gov or faxed to (202) 395–6974.

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 http://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 

The submission of the SPP 

application is the first step in an 

airport’s request for private screening; it 

represents the initial notification to TSA 

of an airport’s desire to opt-out of the 

federal screening provided by TSA 

employees. TSA currently has a 

screening presence at approximately 

450 airports, of which 19 airports are 

actively participating in SPP. 

The annual burden for the 

information collection related to SPP is 

estimated to be one half (0.50) hour. 

While TSA estimates that only two 

airports will respond annually, it is 

presumed that ten or more airports 

could respond. The agency estimates 

that each respondent airport will spend 

approximately one-quarter (.25) hour to 

complete the application for a total 

burden of one-half (0.50) hour. TSA 

does not require the airports to maintain 

records of the application submission; 

however, if the airport choses to do so 

the burden associated with the action is 

anticipated to be de minimis. 

Title: Screening Partnership Program 

Application. 

Type of Request: New collection. 

OMB Control Number: Not yet 

assigned. 

Form(s): TSA Form 424 Screening 

Partnership Program Application. 

Affected Public: Airport operators. 

Abstract: TSA’s Screening Partnership 

Program (SPP) (49 U.S.C. 44920 (ATSA 

§ 108)) enables commercial airports to 

apply for a private screening company 

to provide passenger and baggage 

security screening services. An airport 

submits the SPP application to have 

employees of qualified private 

companies carry out the screening of 

passengers and property at the airport 

under a contract entered into with TSA. 

The application process is the initial 

notification to TSA Headquarters of an 

airport’s desire to opt-out of the federal 

screening provided by TSA employees. 

Number of Respondents: 2. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An 

estimated 0.50 hours annually. 

Dated: January 22, 2015.
