Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval of an extension of 

the currently approved collection under

published a Federal Register notice, 

with a 60-day comment period soliciting 

comments, of the following collection of 

information on June 06, 2008, 73 FR

Additionally, flight training providers 

are required to conduct a security 

awareness program for their employees, 

and to maintain records associated with 

this training. 

DATES: Send your comments by 

September 12, 2008. A comment to 

OMB is most effective if OMB receives 

it within 30 days of publication. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit written comments on 

the proposed information collection to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget. Comments should be addressed

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. The ICR documentation is 

available at www.reginfo.gov. 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: Flight Training for Aliens and 

Other Designated Individuals; Security 

Awareness Training for Flight School 

Employees. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

OMB Control Number: 1652–0021. 

Forms(s): NA. 

Affected Public: Aliens and other 

designated individuals seeking flight 

instruction from FAA-certified flight 

training providers; flight training 

providers required to conduct security 

awareness training to its employees. 

Abstract: TSA has established 

standards relating to the security threat 

assessments that TSA will conduct to 

determine whether candidates are a 

threat to aviation or national security, 

and thus prohibited from receiving 

flight training. This collection of 

information requires Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA)-certified flight 

training providers to provide TSA with 

the information necessary to conduct 

the security threat assessments. Finally, 

TSA has established standards relating 

to security awareness training for 

certain flight school employees, which 

include maintaining records of all such 

training. 

Number of Respondents: 66,500. TSA 

is revising the number of respondents 

from the 31,000 respondents reported in 

the notice published on June 6, 2008. 

TSA is now including 40,000 additional 


ebenthall on PRODPC60 with NOTICES
47204 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 13, 2008 / Notices 

Flight Training Providers that do not 

train aliens and are not required to 

register with TSA. These Flight Training 

Providers are required under 49 CFR 

part 1552 to maintain records verifying 

that a flight school applicant has shown 

proof of U.S. citizenship or nationality, 

and are also required to retain records 

of the initial and recurrent security 

awareness training provided to 

employees. TSA estimates the 

recordkeeping burden for these Flight 

Training Providers is negligible. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An 

estimated 507,750 hours annually.

Background 

The Department of Homeland

Security and Accountability for Every 

Port Act of 2006 (SAFE Port Act), Public 

Law 109–347 (October 13, 2006). This 

rule requires all credentialed merchant 

mariners and individuals with 

unescorted access to secure areas of a 

regulated facility or vessel to obtain a 

TWIC. In this final rule, on page 3510, 

TSA and Coast Guard stated that a 

phased enrollment approach based 

upon risk assessment and cost/benefit 

would be used to implement the 

program nationwide, and that TSA 

would publish a notice in the Federal 

Register indicating when enrollment at 

a specific location will begin and when 

it is expected to terminate. 

This notice provides the start date for 

TWIC initial enrollment at the Port of 

American Samoa on August 20, 2008. 

The Coast Guard will publish a separate 

notice in the Federal Register indicating 

when facilities within the Captain of the 

Port Zone Guam including those in the 

Port of American Samoa must comply 

with the portions of the final rule 

requiring TWIC to be used as an access 

control measure. That notice will be 

published at least 90 days before 

compliance is required.
