                    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                     *https://www.reginfo.gov*                     upon its submission to OMB.

(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:*                     Security Programs for Foreign Air Carriers.                

*Type of Request:*                     Extension of a currently approved collection.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     1652-0005.                

*Forms(s):*                     N/A.                

*Affected Public:*                     Foreign air carriers.                

*Abstract:*                     TSA uses the information collected to determine compliance with 49 CFR part 1546 and to ensure passenger safety by monitoring foreign air carrier security procedures. Foreign air carriers must carry out security measures to provide for the safety of persons, property, and cargo transported on aircraft provided by the foreign air carrier against acts of criminal violence and air piracy, and the introduction of unauthorized explosives, incendiaries, or weapons aboard an aircraft. The foreign air carrier's security program must provide a level of protection similar to the level of protection provided by U.S. aircraft operators serving the same airports, and the foreign air carrier must employ procedures equivalent to those required of U.S. aircraft operators serving the same airport, if TSA determines such procedures are necessary to provide a similar level of protection. This information collection is mandatory for foreign air carriers and must be submitted prior to entry into the United States. The TSA information collection includes providing information to TSA as set forth in the carrier's security program, which includes any amendments; maintaining records of compliance with 49 CFR part 1546 and the foreign air carrier's security program, including security training records; suspicious incident reporting; and submitting identifying information on foreign air carriers' flight crews, passengers, and cargo.                

*Estimated Annual Number of Respondents:*                     180.                

*Estimated Annual Burden Hours:*                     241,485.                

Dated: December 2, 2024.
