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 

Title: Federal Flight Deck Officer 

(FFDO) Program. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

OMB Control Number: 1652–0011. 

Forms(s): FFDO online application. 

Affected Public: Applicants to the 

FFDO Program and current FFDOs. 

Abstract: To further supplement the 

security measures being implemented 

by TSA, Congress and the President 

enacted the Arming Pilots Against 

Terrorism Act (APATA) as Title XIV of 

the Homeland Security Act (Pub. L. 

107–296, Nov. 25, 2002, 116 Stat. 2300), 

codified at 49 U.S.C. 44921. 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—Century 

of Aviation Reauthorization Act (Pub. L. 

108–176, Dec. 12, 2003, 117 Stat. 2490, 

2561), 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. 

Information collected as the result of 

this renewal request would be 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. 

Number of Respondents: Up to 13,780 

annually. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An 

estimated 13,780 hours annually. The 

burden estimate stated in the August 23, 

2005 notice did not account for the total 

reporting burden, and thus has been 

revised here.
