Abstract
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) invites public comment on one currently approved Information Collection Request (ICR), Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number 1652-0073, that we will submit to OMB for an extension in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its expected burden. The collection of information involves an application completed by public and private entities requesting participation in TSA's Reimbursable Screening Services Program (RSSP), currently a pilot program for up to eight locations to obtain TSA security screening services outside of an existing primary passenger airport terminal screening area where screening services are currently provided or would be eligible to be provided under TSA's annually appropriated passenger screening program.

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
The RSSP is authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2019, Section 225, Division A (Pub. L. 116-6, Div. A) and amended in
the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, Section 223, Division F
(Pub. L. 116-
[[Page 36869]]
260, Div. F). Under this provision, TSA established a pilot for public
or private entities regulated by TSA to request reimbursable screening
services outside of an existing primary passenger terminal screening
area where screening services are currently provided or eligible to be
provided under TSA's annually appropriated passenger screening program.
The authority available under this section is effective for fiscal
years 2022 through 2023 and currently may be used at not more than
eight locations for transportation security purposes. TSA collects this
information to establish an application process for public and private
entities regulated by TSA to request screening services under the RSSP.
For purposes of RSSP, ``screening services'' means ``the screening of
passengers, flight crews, and their carry-on baggage and personal
articles, and may include checked baggage screening if that type of
screening is performed at an offsite location that is not part of a
passenger terminal of a commercial airport.
Public or private entities regulated by TSA interested in
participating in the RSSP may submit an application to the TSA
Administrator requesting that TSA provide screening services outside of
an existing primary passenger terminal screening area where screening
services are currently provided or eligible to be provided under TSA's
annually appropriated passenger screening program as a primary
passenger terminal screening area. The request may only be submitted to
TSA after consultation with the relevant local airport authority. The
application is used to identify basic information to grant approval or
denial.
The respondents to this information collection request are public
or private entities regulated by TSA requesting the screening services
at an airport that is a commercial service airport (as defined by 49
U.S.C. 47107(7)). TSA estimates the annual respondents for fiscal year
2022 to be no more than 15. The annual burden for the information
collection related to providing screening services is estimated to be
492 hours.
Dated: June 14, 2022.

TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Information Technology.
