SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TSA published a Federal Register notice,
with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments, of the following
collection of information on July 2023, 88 FR 42736.
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
Title: Air Cargo Security Requirements.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652-0040.
Forms(s): Aviation Security Known Shipper Verification Form,
Aircraft Operator or Air Carrier Reporting Template, and Security
Threat Assessment Application.
Affected Public: This ICR involves regulated entities including
aircraft operators, foreign air carriers, and indirect air carriers
operating under a TSA-approved security program.
Abstract: Under the authority of 49 U.S.C. 44901, TSA's regulations
impose screening requirements for cargo and other property transported
on commercial aircraft (passenger and all-cargo). Chapter XII of title
49, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) defines how TSA screens all
property, including U.S. mail, cargo, carry-on and checked baggage, and
other articles, that will be carried aboard passenger and cargo
aircraft.
This information collection currently relates to the following
requirements:
<bullet> Aircraft operators, foreign air carriers, and indirect air
carriers (IACs) must collect certain information as part of the
implementation of a standard security program, submit modifications to
the standard security program to TSA for approval, and update such
programs as necessary. As part of these security programs, the
regulated entities must also collect personal information and submit
such information to TSA so that TSA may conduct STAs on individuals
with unescorted access to cargo.
<bullet> Companies and individuals whom aircraft operators, foreign
air carriers, and IACs have qualified to ship cargo on passenger
aircraft, also referred to as ``known shippers,'' must submit
information to TSA. This information is collected electronically
through the KSMS.
<bullet> Regulated entities must submit (by entering into the
IACMS) information required from applicants requesting to be approved
as IACs and the information required for their IAC annual renewal in
accordance with 49 CFR 1548.7. Regulated entities must also maintain
records, including records pertaining to security programs, training,
and compliance to demonstrate adherence with the regulatory
requirements.
<bullet> Select aircraft operators and foreign air carriers
operating under certain amendments to their security programs must
provide to TSA detailed screening volumes and the methodology utilized
to arrive at these volumes, as well as demonstrating progress toward
full compliance with the cargo security measures specified in such
amendments.
Number of Respondents: 3,575.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 77,076 hours annually.
Dated: March 20, 2024.

TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Information Technology.
