1Passengers who are eligible for expedited 

screening through a dedicated TSA Pre✓® TM lane 

typically will receive more limited physical 

screening, e.g., will be able to leave on their shoes, 

light outerwear, and belt, to keep their laptop in its 

case, and to keep their 3–1–1 compliant liquids/gels 

bag in a carry-on. For airports with TSA Pre✓® TM

lanes, see http://www.tsa.gov/tsa-precheck/tsaprecheck-participating-airports.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

SECURITY 

Transportation Security Administration 

[Docket No. TSA–2014–0001] 

Intent To Request Renewal From OMB 

of One Current Public Collection of 

Information: TSA Pre✓® Application 

Program 

AGENCY: Transportation Security 

Administration, DHS. 

ACTION: 60-day notice. 

SUMMARY: The Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA) invites public 

comment on one currently approved 

Information Collection Request (ICR), 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) control number 1652–0059, 

abstracted below, that we will submit to 

OMB for renewal in compliance with 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). 

The ICR describes the nature of the 

information collection and its expected 

burden. The collection involves the 

voluntary submission of biographic and 

biometric information that will be used 

for identity verification and to conduct 

a security threat assessment which 

includes vetting of an individual’s 

voluntarily submitted information 

against law enforcement, immigration, 

and intelligence databases to determine 

if the person poses a low risk to 

transportation or national security and 

is eligible for expedited screening 

through TSA Pre✓® lanes at airports. 

This notice also provides initial 

information regarding TSA plans to 

expand opportunities for enrollment 

into the TSA Pre✓® Application 

Program by using additional contractors 

that will be permitted to market, enroll, 

and pre-screen individuals for TSA 

Pre✓® Application Program eligibility. 

Under the proposed expansion, selected 

contractors will collect biographic and 

biometric information from the 

applicant, and perform an initial 

prescreening of applicants using 

processes approved by TSA. Those 

applicants who meet the prescreening 

standards will be forwarded by the 

contractors to TSA, which shall perform 

a security threat assessment and make a 

final determination of the applicants’ 

eligibility for the TSA Pre✓®

Application Program. 

DATES: Send your comments by March 

9, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be emailed 

to TSAPRA@tsa.dhs.gov or delivered to 

the TSA PRA Officer, Office of 

Information Technology (OIT), TSA–11, 

Transportation Security Administration, 

601 South 12th Street, Arlington, VA 

20598–6011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Christina A. Walsh at the above address, 

or by telephone (571) 227–2062. 

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 http://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 

OMB Control Number 1652–0059; 

TSA Pre✓®Application Program. Under 

the TSA Pre✓® Application Program, 

individuals may submit biographic and 

biometric information directly to TSA, 

which in turn uses the information to 

conduct a security threat assessment 

(STA) of law enforcement, immigration, 

and intelligence databases, including a 

criminal history check. The results are 

used by TSA to decide if an individual 

poses a low risk to transportation or 

national security. Approved applicants 

are issued a Known Traveler Number 

(KTN) that may be used when making 

travel reservations. Airline passengers 

who submit their KTN when making 

airline reservations are eligible for 

expedited screening on flights 

originating from U.S. airports with TSA 

Pre✓® lanes.1 TSA uses the traveler’s 

KTN and other information during 

passenger prescreening to verify that the 

individual traveling matches the 

information on TSA’s list of known 

travellers and to confirm TSA Pre✓®

expedited screening eligibility. 

TSA plans to expand enrollment 

options for the TSA Pre✓® Application 

Program by using additional contractor 

options or capabilities to market, enroll 

and pre-screen applicants.2 Approved 

contractors will provide secure 

enrollment options to collect biographic 

and biometric (e.g., fingerprints, iris 

scans, and/or photo) information, to 

validate identity, to facilitate collection 

citizenship/immigration information, 

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 expansion options 

may include the use of commercial and 

other publicly available data to conduct 

identity verification, collection of 

citizenship/immigration information, 

and prescreening of applicants. 

For successfully enrolled and 

prescreened applicants, TSA will 

receive via a secure interface certain 

minimum required data elements 

(including, but not be limited to, name, 

date of birth, gender, address, contact 

information, country of birth, images of 

identity documents, proof of 

citizenship/immigration status 

information, and biometrics) to enable 

TSA to conduct a STA, make a final 

eligibility determination for the TSA 

Pre✓® Application Program, and verify 

TSA Pre✓® enrolled and approved 

individuals when they are travelling.

516 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 3 / Tuesday, January 6, 2015 / Notices 

Applicants who are found to be 

ineligible as a result of prescreening by 

a contractor shall be notified by the 

respective contractor of the reason. The 

notification will include, when relevant, 

information about the available 

correction of records process and any 

alternatives available for identity 

verification, as well as other available 

channels for TSA Pre✓® expedited 

screening. 

The TSA-conducted STA for 

applicants forwarded by the contractors 

will include checks against government 

watchlists and databases associated 

with security and immigration. TSA 

will make the final determination on 

eligibility for the TSA Pre✓®

Application Program and notify the 

applicant of the decision. Applicants 

generally should expect to receive 

notification from TSA within 2–3 weeks 

of the submission of their completed 

applications. 

Eligibility for the TSA Pre✓®

Application Program is within the sole 

discretion of TSA, which will notify 

applicants who are denied eligibility by 

TSA in writing of the reasons for the 

denial. If initially deemed ineligible by 

TSA, applicants will have an 

opportunity to correct cases of 

misidentification or inaccurate criminal 

or immigration records. If advised 

during the application eligibility review 

process that the criminal record 

discloses a disqualifying criminal 

offense, the applicant must submit in 

writing within a specified period of his 

or her intent to correct any information 

he or she believes to be inaccurate. The 

applicant must provide a certified 

revised record, or the appropriate court 

must forward a certified true copy of the 

information, prior to TSA approving 

eligibility of the applicant for the TSA 

Pre✓® Application Program. With 

respect to citizenship and/or 

immigration records, within 60 days 

after being advised that the citizenship 

or immigration records indicate that the 

applicant is ineligible for the TSA 

Pre✓® Application Program, the 

applicant must notify TSA in writing of 

his or her intent to correct any 

information believed to be inaccurate. 

TSA will review any information 

submitted and make a final decision. If 

neither notification nor a corrected 

record is received by TSA, the agency 

may make a final determination to deny 

eligibility. Individuals who TSA 

determines are ineligible for the TSA 

Pre✓® Application Program will be 

screened at airport security checkpoints 

pursuant to standard screening 

protocols. 

The TSA Pre✓® Application Program 

enhances aviation security by 

permitting TSA to better focus its 

limited security resources on passengers 

who are more likely to pose a threat to 

civil aviation, while also facilitating and 

improving the commercial aviation 

travel experience for the public. 

Travelers who choose not to enroll in 

this initiative are not subject to any 

limitations on their travel because of 

their choice; they will be processed 

through normal TSA screening before 

entering the sterile areas of airports. 

TSA also retains the authority to 

perform standard or other screening on 

a random basis on TSA Pre✓®

Application Program participants and 

any other travelers authorized to receive 

expedited physical screening. 

Average Annual Number of 

Respondents: An estimated 2,074,000 

annualized enrollments over a five-year 

period. This estimate is based on 

current and projected enrollment with 

TSA’s current program, as well as what 

TSA anticipates from program 

expansion to additional contractors 

performing enrollment and prescreening 

functions. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An 

estimated 2,742,049 annualized hours 

based on a five-year projection. TSA 

estimates 1.32 hours per applicant to 

complete the enrollment process, which 

includes providing biographic and 

biometric information to TSA (via an 

enrollment center or pre-enrollment 

options) or to a TSA Pre✓® Application 

Program contractor, and the burden for 

any records correction for the applicant, 

if applicable. 

Estimated Annual Cost Burden: 

$72,290,129 annualized cost burden 

based on a five-year projection. The 

TSA fee per respondent for those who 

apply for the program directly with TSA 

will remain $85, which covers TSA’s 

program costs and the FBI fee for the 

criminal history records check. The fee 

charged by contractors under the 

expansion of the program may differ, as 

it may include, but not be limited to, 

fees for other services that the 

companies provide separately to their 

customers.
