applicants’ lost wages. The 30-day Notice corrects 

this to show the cost burden based instead on the 

application fee, post-enrollment biometric 

submission fee, and cost burden for corrections of

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

www.reginfo.gov upon its submission to 

OMB. Therefore, in preparation for 

OMB review and approval of the 

following information collection, TSA is

information requirement is necessary for 

the proper performance of the functions 

of the agency, including whether the

(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

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Consistent with the requirements of 

Executive Order (E.O.) 13771, Reducing 

Regulation and Controlling Regulatory 

Costs, and E.O. 13777, Enforcing the 

Regulatory Reform Agenda, TSA is also

Information Collection Requirement 

Title: Military Severely Injured Joint 

Support Operations Center (MSIJSOC) 

and Travel Protocol Office (TPO) 

Programs. 

Type of Request: New collection. 

OMB Control Number: 1652–XXXX. 

Form(s): TSA Form 412, Travel 

Support Request and TSA Form 417, 

Screening Assistance Request. 

Affected Public: Wounded warriors, 

severely injured military personnel, 

foreign dignitaries, accredited 

Ambassadors to the United States, and 

other travelers requiring an escort 

through the airport security screening 

process. 

Abstract: Under the Aviation and 

Transportation Security Act (ATSA), 

TSA is responsible for security in all 

modes of transportation including 

screening operations for passenger air 

transportation and for carrying out such 

other duties relating to the 

transportation security as it considers 

appropriate. See sec. 101(a) of ATSA 

(Pub. L. 107–71, 115 Stat. 597 

(November 19, 2001) (codified at 49 

U.S.C. 114). The Helping Heroes Fly Act 

directs TSA to develop and implement 

a process to support and facilitate the 

ease of travel and, to the extent possible, 

provide expedited passenger screening 

services for severely injured or disabled 

members of the Armed Forces and 

severely injured or disabled veterans 

through passenger screening. See sec. 2 

of the Helping Heroes Fly Act (Pub. L. 

113–27, 127 Stat. 503 (Aug. 9, 2013) 

(codified at 49 U.S.C. 44927). Based on 

these requirements, TSA established the 

MSIJSOC and TPO programs to support 

and facilitate the movement of wounded 

warriors, severely injured military 

personnel, veterans, and other travelers 

requiring an escort through the airport 

security screening process. 

To implement the MSIJSCO and TPO 

programs, TSA must collect the 

passenger’s name, flight itinerary 

(scheduled flight departure and arrival 

information), and contact information to 

successfully facilitate movements 

through the screening process at U.S. 

airports and its territories. TSA shares 

this information with airports on the 

passenger’s itinerary to coordinate 

efforts, to synchronize seamless 

transitions with the affected parties, and 

protect security operations. 

Number of Respondents: 14,934.1

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An 

estimated 1,245 hours annually. 

Dated: October 27, 2017.
