necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;

to confirm their eligibility to participate in this training program
and to confirm their attendance. TSA confirms the eligibility of the
participant by contacting the participant's employer, and confirms
attendance by comparing the registration information against a sign-in

to complete an Injury Waiver Form during the registration process, or
before the training is conducted. Finally, TSA asks trainees to
complete a voluntary evaluation of the training upon completion of the
course.
Number of Respondents: 3,500.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 111 hours annually.\2\
