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 continues 
to be 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 1652-0029; Maryland Three Airports: Enhanced 
Security Procedures for Operations at Certain Airports in the 
Washington, DC Metropolitan Area Flight Restricted Zone, 49 CFR part 
1562. Codified in 49 CFR part 1562, TSA sets forth airport operator 
requirements and security procedures at three Maryland airports that 
are located within the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area Flight 
Restricted Zone (FRZ), and for individuals operating aircraft to or 
from these airports. The Maryland Three Airports are College Park 
Airport (CGS), Potomac Airfield (VKX), and Washington Executive/Hyde 
Field (W32). The information collected is used to determine compliance 
with 49 CFR part 1562.
    Part 1562 allows an individual who is approved by TSA to operate an 
aircraft to or from one of the Maryland Three Airports or to serve as 
an airport security coordinator at one of these three airports. In 
order to be approved, a pilot or airport security coordinator applicant 
is required to successfully complete a security threat assessment. As 
part of this threat assessment, the applicant must undergo a criminal 
history records check and a check of Government terrorist watch lists 
and other databases to determine whether the individual poses, or is 
suspected of posing, a threat to transportation or national security. 
An applicant will not receive TSA's approval under this analysis if TSA 
determines or suspects them of being a threat to national or 
transportation security. Applicants can be fingerprinted at the Ronald 
Reagan Washington National Airport's (DCA) badging office and any 
participating airport badging office or law enforcement office located 
nearby to the applicant's residence or place of work. Applicants must 
present the following information to TSA, using TSA Form 418, as part 
of the application process: full name, Social Security number, date of 
birth, address, phone numbers, current and valid airman certificate or 
current and valid student pilot certificate, current medical 
certificate, email address, emergency contact number, a list of the 
make, model, and FAA aircraft registration number for each aircraft the 
pilot intends to operate at Maryland Three Airports, one form of 
Government-issued picture ID, and fingerprints.
    Although not required by the rule, TSA asks applicants to provide 
an email address and contact phone number to facilitate immediate 
communication that might be necessary when operating in the FRZ or 
helpful during the application process. TSA receives approximately 312 
applications annually, and estimates applicants spend approximately 90 
minutes to submit the information to TSA, which is a total annual 
burden of 28,080 hours.

    Dated: April 2, 2015.

TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Office of Information Technology.
