DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Transportation Security Administration


Notice of Intent To Request Renewal From the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) of a Current Public Collection of Information; Airport 
Security

AGENCY: Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Department of 
Homeland Security (DHS).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

[[Page 5457]]

SUMMARY: TSA invites public comment on a currently approved public 
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 April 4, 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: Katrina Wawer at the above address or 
by telephone at 571-227-1995.

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.
    1652-0002, Airport Security, 49 CFR part 1542. The Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA) initially required this collection under 14 CFR 
part 107 (now 49 CFR part 1542) and cleared under OMB control number 
2120-0656. The responsibility for the collection has been transferred 
to TSA from FAA and assigned OMB control number 1652-0002. Part 1542, 
Airport Security, implements the provisions of the Aviation Security 
Improvement Act and the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, as 
amended, that relates to the security of persons and property at 
airports operating in commercial air transportation. TSA is seeking 
renewal of this information collection because airport security 
programs are needed to ensure protection of persons and property in air 
transportation against acts of terrorism, to ensure passenger screening 
procedures are effective, and that information is available to comply 
with Congressional reporting requirements. The affected public is an 
estimated 445 regulated airport operators. The current estimated annual 
burden is 509,203 hours annually.

    Issued in Arlington, Virginia January 28, 2005.

Privacy Officer.
