Comments Invited 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a valid OMB control

made available at https://

www.reginfo.gov upon its submission to 

OMB. 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: Military Severely Injured Joint 

Support Operations Center (MSIJSOC) 

and Travel Protocol Office (TPO) 

Programs. 

Type of Request: Extension. 

OMB Control Number: 1652–0069. 

Form(s): TSA Form 412, Travel 

Support Request and TSA Form 417, 

Screening Assistance Notification. 

Affected Public: Wounded warriors, 

severely injured military personnel, 

foreign dignitaries, accredited 

Ambassadors to the United States, and 

other travelers requiring an escort 

through the airport security screening 

process. 

Abstract: Under the Aviation and 

Transportation Security Act (ATSA), 

TSA is responsible for security in all 

modes of transportation including 

screening operations for passenger air 

transportation and for carrying out such 

other duties relating to the 

transportation security as it considers 

appropriate. See sec. 101(a) of Pub. L. 

107–71 (115 Stat. 597; Nov. 19, 2001), 

as codified at 49 U.S.C. 114. Under 

ATSA, TSA established the Travel 

Protocol Office (TPO) Programs to assist 

foreign dignitaries, accredited 

Ambassadors to the United States, and 

other travelers requiring an escort 

through the airport security screening 

process. 

The Helping Heroes Fly Act directs 

TSA to develop and implement a 

process to support and facilitate the ease 

of travel and, to the extent possible, 

provide expedited passenger screening 

services for severely injured or disabled 

members of the Armed Forces and 

severely injured or disabled veterans 

through passenger screening. See sec. 2 

of Public Law 113–27 (127 Stat. 503; 

Aug. 9, 2013), as amended and codified 

at 49 U.S.C. 44927. Consistent with 

these requirements, TSA established the 

MSIJSOC program to support and 

facilitate the movement of wounded 

warriors, severely injured military 

personnel, and severely injured or 

disabled veterans. 

To implement the MSIJSOC and TPO 

programs, TSA must collect the 

passenger’s name, flight itinerary 

(scheduled flight departure and arrival 

information), and contact information to 

successfully facilitate movements 

through the screening process at U.S. 

airports and its territories. TSA shares 

this information with airports on the 

passenger’s itinerary to coordinate 

efforts, synchronize seamless transitions 

with the affected parties, and protect 

security operations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

5,336. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 

444.7. 

Dated: December 16, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

With some exceptions, the Marine 

Mammal Protection Act of 1972, as 

amended (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et 

seq.), prohibits the take and importation 

of marine mammals and marine 

mammal products absent Federal 

authorization. In carrying out our 

responsibilities under the MMPA, we, 

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

(FWS), may authorize such activities via 

permits after receipt of an application 

and verification that MMPA statutory 

and regulatory requirements are met. 

Section 104(c) of the MMPA specifies 

the conditions for authorizing the taking 

or importation of a marine mammal for 

purposes of scientific research, public 

display, photography, or enhancing the 

survival or recovery of a species or stock 

under the MMPA. 

This notice provides information 

about two aspects of the MMPA 

permitting process: application and 

issuance. At section II, we provide the 

public with notice of and the 

opportunity to comment on applications 

that we have received from entities or 

individuals to conduct certain activities 

with marine mammals for which the 

FWS has jurisdiction under the MMPA. 

At section III, we announce recently 

issued MMPA permits to entities or 

individuals in response to prior 

applications. 

II. Applications Available for Public 

Review 

To help us carry out our conservation 

responsibilities for affected species, and 

in consideration of section 104(c) of the 

MMPA, we invite the public and local, 

State, Tribal, and Federal agencies to 

comment on the applications listed 

below before final action is taken. 

Concurrent with publishing this notice 

in the Federal Register, we are 

forwarding copies of these marine 

mammal applications to the Marine 

Mammal Commission and the 

Committee of Scientific Advisors for 

their review. 

A. Permit Applications Received 

We invite comments on the following 

applications: 

Applicant: Seattle Aquarium Society, 

Seattle, WA; Permit No. PER12241375 

The applicant requests a scientific 

research permit to conduct surveys of 

northern sea otters (Enhydra lutris 

kenyoni) off the coast of Washington 

State using a camera- mounted 

unmanned aircraft system. This

of population estimates and allow better 

understanding of the temporal and 

spatial distribution of otters in the area. 

This notification covers activities to be 

conducted by the applicant over a 5- 

year period. 

Applicant: Ben Hamilton, Windfall 

Films, San Antonio, TX; Permit No.

between 2024 and 2026. 

B. Public Comment Procedures 

1. How Do I Comment on Permit 

Applications? 

Before issuing any requested permit, 

we will take into consideration any 

information that we receive during the 

public comment period. 

You may submit your comments and 

materials by one of the methods in 

ADDRESSES. We will not consider 

comments sent by email, or to an 

address not in ADDRESSES. We will not 

consider or include in our 

administrative record comments that we 

receive after the close of the comment 

period (see DATES). 

When submitting comments, please 

specify the name of the applicant and 

the permit number at the beginning of

information to allow us to authenticate 

any scientific or commercial data you
