DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND

Transportation Security Administration 

Notice of Intent To Request Renewal 

From the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) of One Current Public 

Collection of Information; Federal 

Flight Deck Officer (FFDO) Program 

AGENCY: Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA), DHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: TSA invites public comment 

on one currently approved information 

collection requirement abstracted below 

that will be submitted to OMB for 

renewal in compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act. 

DATES: Send your comments by October 

24, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed 

or delivered to Katrina Wawer, 

Information Collection Specialist, Office 

of Transportation Security Policy, TSA–

9, Transportation Security 

Administration, 601 South 12th Street, 

Arlington, VA 22202–4220. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Wawer at the above address or by 

telephone (571) 227–1995 or facsimile 

(571) 227–2594. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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. Therefore, in preparation for 

submission to renew clearance 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 through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Information Collection Requirement 

1652–0011; Federal Flight Deck 

Officer (FFDO) Program. The 

Transportation Security Administration 

(TSA) initially required this information 

collection under Pub. L. 107–296 and 

Pub. L. 108–176. See Arming Pilots 

Against Terrorism Act (APATA), Title 

XIV of the Homeland Security Act (Pub. 

L. 107–296, Nov. 25, 2202), codified at 

49 U.S.C. 44921; Vision 100—Century of 

Aviation Reauthorization Act (Vision 

100) (Pub. L. 108–176, 117 Stat. 2490, 

Dec. 12, 2003), codified at 49 U.S.C. 

44918. TSA is seeking to renew this 

information collection in order to 

continue collecting the information 

described in this notice to comply with 

its statutory mission. APATA required 

TSA to establish a program to screen, 

select, train, deputize, equip and 

supervise qualified volunteer pilots of 

passenger aircraft. With the enactment 

of the Vision 100, the program was 

expanded to include pilots of cargo 

aircraft, as well as flight engineers and 

navigators, on both passenger and cargo 

aircraft. 

These individuals, known as Federal 

Flight Deck Officers (FFDOs), are 

authorized to transport and carry a 

firearm and to use force, including 

deadly force, to defend the flight deck 

of an aircraft against acts of criminal 

violence or air piracy. In order to screen 

FFDO volunteers for entry into the 

program, TSA collects information, 

including name, address, prior address 

information, personal references, 

criminal history, limited medical 

information, financial information and 

employment information, from 

applicants through comprehensive 

applications they submit to TSA. The 

information collected is used to assess 

the qualifications and suitability of 

prospective and current FFDOs through 

an online application, to ensure the 

readiness of every FFDO, to administer 

the program, and for security purposes. 

Based on the number of current 

FFDOs, TSA estimates a total of 6,000 

respondents annually. It is estimated the 

online application will take one hour for 

each applicant to prepare, for a total 

burden of 6,000 hours. 

Issued in Arlington, Virginia, on August 

17, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD has 

the authority to address deficiencies in 

the performance of lenders’ loans as 

provided in HUD’s mortgagee approval 

regulations at 24 CFR 202.3. On May 17, 

1999 (64 FR 26769), HUD published a 

notice on its procedures for terminating 

Origination Approval Agreements with 

FHA lenders and placement of FHA 

lenders on Credit Watch status (an 

evaluation period). In the May 17, 1999 

notice, HUD advised that it would 

publish in the Federal Register a list of 

mortgagees, which have had their 

Origination Approval Agreements 

terminated. 

Termination of Origination Approval 

Agreement: Approval of a mortgagee by 

HUD/FHA to participate in FHA 

mortgage insurance programs includes 

an Origination Approval Agreement 

(Agreement) between HUD and the 

mortgagee. Under the Agreement, the 

mortgagee is authorized to originate 

single family mortgage loans and submit 

them to FHA for insurance 

endorsement. The Agreement may be 

terminated on the basis of poor 

performance of FHA-insured mortgage 

loans originated by the mortgagee. The 

termination of a mortgagee’s Agreement 

is separate and apart from any action 

taken by HUD’s Mortgagee Review 

Board under HUD’s regulations at 24 

CFR part 25.
