Transportation Security Administration 

[Docket No. TSA–2002–11602] 

Intent To Request Renewal From OMB 

of One Current Public Collection of 

Information: Security Programs for 

Foreign Air Carriers 

AGENCY: Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA), DHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: TSA invites public comment 

on one currently approved information 

collection requirement abstracted below 

that we will submit to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

renewal in compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act. 

DATES: Send your comments by 

December 20, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: 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 (571) 227–1995 or 

facsimile (571) 227–2594. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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. 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 

1652–0005; Security Programs for 

Foreign Air Carriers, 49 CFR part 1546. 

The Federal Aviation Administration 

initially required this collection under 

14 CFR part 129 (now 49 CFR part 1546) 

and cleared under OMB control number 

2120–0536. The responsibility for the 

collection was transferred to TSA and 

assigned OMB control number 1652–

0005. The information collected is used 

to determine compliance with 49 CFR 

part 1546 and to ensure passenger safety 

by monitoring foreign air carrier 

security procedures. These security 

programs establish procedures that 

foreign air carriers must carry out to 

protect persons and property against 

acts of criminal violence, aircraft piracy, 

and terrorist activities. This information 

collection is mandatory for foreign air 

carriers and must be submitted prior to 

gaining entry into the United States. 

The information requested of foreign 

air carriers has increased due to the 

security measures mandated by the 

Federal Government since September 

11, 2001. Because TSA has taken over 

airport passenger and cargo screening 

requirements within the United States, 

the recordkeeping requirements 

regarding screening have been reduced. 

However, TSA has implemented 

additional security requirements, most 

of which include recordkeeping 

requirements and for which the burden 

has yet to be calculated. The additional 

information TSA now collects includes 

identifying information on foreign air 

carriers’ flight crews and passengers. 

Specifically, TSA requires foreign 

carriers to submit the following 

information: (1) A master crew list of all 

flight and cabin crew members flying to 

and from the United States; (2) the flight 

crew list on a flight-by-flight basis; and
