Information Collection Requirement
Title: Military Severely Injured Joint Support Operations Center
(MSIJSOC) and Travel Protocol Office (TPO) Programs.
Type of Request: Extension.
OMB Control Number: 1652-0069.
Form(s): TSA Form 412, Travel Support Request and TSA Form 417
Screening Assistance Notification.
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: 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, Public Law 113-27 (127 Stat. 503;
Aug. 9, 2013) as amended and codified at 49 U.S.C. 44927. Consistent
with these requirements, TSA established the MSIJSOC program to support
and facilitate the movement of wounded warriors, severely injured
military personnel, and severely injured or disabled veterans. 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 the ATSA, Public Law 107-71 (115 Stat.
597; Nov. 19, 2001) as codified at 49 U.S.C. 114. Under ATSA, TSA
established the Travel Protocol Office (TPO) Programs to assist foreign
dignitaries, accredited Ambassadors to the United States, 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: 8,456.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 705 hours annually.
Dated: August 20, 2021.
Christina A. Walsh,
TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Information Technology.
