2Passengers who are eligible for expedited 

screening through a dedicated lane typically receive 

more limited physical screening, e.g., will be able 

to leave on their shoes, light outerwear, and belt; 

keep their laptop in its case; and keep their 

3–1–1 compliant liquids/gels bag in a carry-on. The 

first travelers eligible for TSA Pre✓® screening 

included members of U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) trusted traveler programs, and 

other groups such as government employees with 

security clearances for whom TSA had conducted 

a threat assessment. 

3This threat assessment includes vetting the 

applicant’s voluntarily submitted biographic and 

biometric information against law enforcement, 

immigration, and intelligence databases, including 

a criminal history check conducted by the Federal 

Bureau of Investigation using the applicant’s 

fingerprints. See Privacy Impact Assessment for the

Discussion 

In December 2013, TSA introduced 

the TSA Pre✓® Application Program,1 a 

voluntary passenger prescreening 

initiative for low risk passengers who 

are eligible to receive expedited 

screening at participating U.S. airport 

security checkpoints.2 This Program 

permits any member of the public to 

apply directly to TSA for eligibility by 

providing biographic and biometric 

information that TSA uses to conduct a 

comprehensive security threat 

assessment.3 TSA issues a ‘‘known 

traveler number’’ to applicants who 

TSA deems a low risk to transportation 

security based on the results of the 

security threat assessment. As of 

December 5, 2014, 734,761 individuals 

have enrolled with TSA and been 

approved for the TSA Pre✓®

Application Program. 

TSA has established a total of 328 

enrollment centers across the country 

for applicants to use to apply for the 

Program. Of these, 33 are located at 

airports and 295 are located off airport 

property. Many of the 295 enrollment 

centers were first established several 

years ago to meet the needs for other 

TSA programs, such as enrolling port 

workers applying for a Transportation 

Worker Identification Credential needed 

for access to maritime facilities, and 

commercial truck drivers applying for a 

Hazardous Materials Endorsement. TSA 

leveraged these enrollment centers 

when the TSA Pre✓® Application 

Program launched to quickly provide 

enrollment sites for interested 

individuals across the country. 

The TSA Pre✓® Application Program 

is a risk-based approach to aviation 

screening that allows TSA to focus its 

limited resources on unknown and 

perhaps high-risk travelers, while 

improving the travel experience for 

most air travelers. The overwhelming 

majority of air passengers are ‘low risk’ 

travelers, but it is not possible for TSA 

to confirm that on an individual basis 

without more information. This program 

improves security by directly providing 

TSA with the information necessary to 

achieve a high level of confidence on 

the relative risk each individual may 

present. For this reason, TSA seeks new 

methods to expand the program at a 

greater pace than the current rate. 

In September, TSA Administrator 

John Pistole announced that TSA is 

developing a private sector application 

initiative as an additional option for 

travelers to apply to TSA’s Pre✓®

Application Program. Under this 

initiative, TSA plans to expand 

enrollment options for the TSA Pre✓®

Application Program by seeking 

proposals from the private sector to 

market, enroll, and pre-screen 

applicants.4 TSA is seeking proposals 

for enrollment and prescreening from 

the private sector that would include, at 

a minimum, options to collect 

biographic and biometric (e.g., 

fingerprints or iris scans) information, to 

validate identity, and to perform a 

criminal history records check to ensure 

that applicants do not have convictions 

for criminal offenses that would 

disqualify them from the TSA Pre✓®

Application Program (please refer to the 

list of current disqualifiers available at 

www.tsa.gov/tsa-precheck/eligibilityrequirements). These options may 

include the use of commercial and other 

publicly available data to conduct 

identity verification and prescreening of 

applicants.

Initiative,’’ http://www.tsa.gov/press/news/2014/09/

6See 6 U.S.C. 469. 

For successfully enrolled and prescreened applicants, TSA would 

conduct a security threat assessment 

and make a final eligibility 

determination for the TSA Pre✓®

Application Program. By leveraging 

private-sector best practices in business 

operations, marketing, and algorithm 

optimization, TSA hopes to provide a 

better travel experience for an increased 

number of trusted travelers.5

We believe input from the traveling 

public can be useful in a variety of areas 

to enhance enrollment, including: 

• Identification of convenient 

locations for enrollment centers; 

• Preferred marketing and 

communications techniques to reach a 

higher percentage of travelers; 

• Potential uses of private sector 

capabilities for marketing, enrollment, 

and prescreening of applicants; 

• Data sources and methods to 

enhance the verification of an 

applicant’s identity, including the use of 

commercially-available data; 

• Ideas to remove barriers to the 

existing application process and/or 

ways to streamline the application 

process; and 

• Other factors to improve the 

program overall. 

Commenters must be cognizant of the 

fact that, while TSA will review and 

consider all comments received, TSA 

may not implement all comments. TSA, 

like most Government agencies, is 

subject to a variety of laws that may 

restrict our ability to significantly 

restructure the program. TSA is required 

by law to collect fees for all vetting and 

credentialing programs 6 and thus, we 

cannot eliminate the fee for conducting 

security threat assessments on 

applicants to determine their risk status. 

We must collect personal information 

from applicants in order to conduct 

security threat assessments, and thus 

must adhere to all laws that require the 

protection of and regulate the use of that 

information. Most importantly, TSA 

will not implement any new measure, 

process, or standard that diminishes 

security or prevents TSA from using its 

discretion to make final eligibility 

determinations for the TSA Pre✓®

Application Program.
