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 will be
available at <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov">http://www.reginfo.gov</a> upon its submission to OMB.
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 1652-0060; Aircraft Repair Station Security. In
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 44924 and 49 CFR part 1554, TSA performs
security reviews and audits of aircraft repair stations located within
and outside of the United States.
Section 611 the Vision 100 Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act
(the Act) requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to ensure
the security of aircraft repair stations. Public Law 108-176 (Oct. 5,
2018) as codified at 49 U.S.C. 44924. The Act further requires a
security review and audit of aircraft repair stations located outside
the United States, with a 145-certificate issued by the FAA. Id. TSA,
on behalf of DHS, is the agency to conduct the relevant tasks
associated with this legislation. As required by the Act, TSA published
a final rule setting forth the new requirements in 2014. See 79 FR 2119
(Jan. 13, 2014).
Under TSA's regulations, aircraft repair stations certificated by
the FAA under part 145 and located on or adjacent to an airport, as
defined in 49 CFR 1554.101(a)(1) and (2), are required to implement
security requirements. Unless located on a military installation, these
aircraft repair stations are subject to inspection by TSA.
The required security measures include designating a TSA point of
contact and preventing the operation of unattended large aircraft that
are capable of flight. An aircraft repair station owner or operator
also is responsible for maintaining updated employment history records
to demonstrate compliance with the regulatory requirements. These
records must be made available to TSA upon request. If TSA discovers
security deficiencies, an aircraft repair station may be subject to
suspension or, in extreme cases, withdrawal of its 145-certificate by
the FAA if such deficiencies are not corrected. An aircraft repair
station owner or operator may petition for reconsideration (appeal) of
a determination by TSA that FAA must suspend or revoke its certificate.
TSA uses the collected information to determine compliance with the
security measures required under 49 CFR part 1554.
The respondents to this information collection are the owners and/
or operators of aircraft repair stations certificated by the FAA under
14 CFR part 145, which is estimated to be over 4,000 aircraft repair
stations located within the United States and more than 900 active
repair stations located outside the United States.
Respondent aircraft repair stations are required to submit and
update security point of contact information, respond to requests to
inspect documentation, and may petition for reconsideration. For these
activities, TSA estimates that all respondent repair stations will
incur a total of 412 hours annually to satisfy the collection
requirements.

TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Information Technology.
