SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TSA published a Federal Register notice, 
with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments, of the following 
collection of information on February 17, 2022, 87 FR 9080.

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 will be 
available at http://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: Enhanced Security Procedures at Ronald Reagan Washington 
National Airport.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    OMB Control Number: 1652-0035.
    Forms(s): DASSP Aircraft Operator Application Form and Fixed Based 
Operator Application Form; and TSA Forms 3411 through 3416.
    Affected Public: GA aircraft operators and passengers, ASOs, flight 
crewmembers, fixed base operators, and gateway airport operators.
    Abstract: TSA is requesting an extension of this information 
collection. In accordance with 49 CFR part 1562, subpart B, TSA 
requires GA aircraft operators who wish to fly into or out of DCA to 
designate a security coordinator and adopt the DASSP. Once aircraft 
operators have complied with the DASSP requirements, they must request 
a slot reservation from the Federal Aviation Administration and request 
authorization from TSA for each flight into and out of DCA. This 
information collection is approved under OMB control number 1652-0033, 
TSA Airspace Waiver Applications.
    As part of the DASSP requirements, individuals designated as 
security coordinators, ASOs, and flight crewmembers assigned to duty on 
a GA aircraft flying into and out of DCA must submit fingerprints for a 
Criminal History Records Check (CHRC). In addition, GA aircraft 
operators must also maintain CHRC records of all employees and 
authorized representatives for whom a CHRC has been completed.
    Under the Armed Security Officer Program (ASOP), DASSP approved 
entities can nominate candidates through an online nomination form. 
This form includes submitting various application materials to TSA, 
including fingerprints, so that TSA can vet the candidates for 
suitability for the ASOP. As part of TSA's vetting process, TSA 
conducts a law enforcement employment verification check and CHRC. TSA 
then adjudicates the application and issues a final determination of 
eligibility. All qualified applicants must then successfully complete a 
TSA-approved training course.
    Number of Respondents: 160.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 174 hours annually.

    Dated: May 18, 2022.
Christina A. Walsh,
TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Information Technology.
