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 1652-0028, Flight Crew Self-Defense Training--
Registration and Evaluation. TSA is seeking an extension of the ICR,
currently approved under OMB control number 1652-0028, to continue
compliance with a statutory mandate. Under 49 U.S.C. 44918(b), TSA is
required to develop and provide a voluntary advanced self-defense
training program for flight and cabin crew members of air carriers
providing scheduled passenger air transportation.
TSA must collect specific information to provide the program to
eligible participants, as well as assess training quality. This
information includes limited biographical information from flight and
cabin crew members to confirm their eligibility to participate in this
training. TSA uses the information to confirm the eligibility of the
participant by contacting the participant's employer.
TSA collects the following information at the time of registration
online: name of the crew member, airline affiliation, position, crew
member airline identification (ID) number, crew member contact
information (home mailing address, home telephone number and/or email
address), and the city and state of the TSA Law Enforcement/Federal Air
Marshals Service field office where the course will be taken. Upon
attending class, crew members are asked to show two forms of ID to
verify their identity against registration records and to sign the
class attendance roster. Two forms of identification includes an
airline ID and a Drivers License or Passport.
In addition, TSA requests each crew member to complete an Injury
Waiver Form during the registration process, or before the training is
conducted. The Injury Waiver Form requests the employee's airline,
airline ID number, signature, and date, and is intended to limit any
liability to TSA or its facilities should a crew member become injured
during the training.
TSA also asks trainees to complete a voluntary evaluation of the
training upon completion of the course. Participants may assess the
training quality and provide anonymous and voluntary comments by
clicking on the electronic feedback link located on the registration
site. TSA estimates the
[[Page 44697]]
number of annual respondents is 795. The respondents are the 300
airlines providing the class rosters, plus the 495 indiviual crew
members providing information directly to TSA for the FAM field office
classes, totaling 795. The estimated annual burden is 61.17 hours. TSA
estimates 11,000 air crew members will undergo self defense training
each year. Of these, 95.5% (10,505) of trainings will occur at airline
training centers, and 4.5% (495) will occur at FAM field offices. It
will take 300 classes to train crew members at airline training
centers, and it will take two (2) minutes for the airline to create
each class roster. This amounts to 10 hours (300 classes x 2 minutes).
TSA estimates the FAMS field office training online registration
requires five (5) minutes and the injury waiver and class roster sign-
in process requires one (1) minute per crew member. This amounts to
49.5 hours [(495 crew members x 6 minutes)]. Although using the course
feedback tab is strictly voluntary, TSA estimates ten (10) minutes per
crew member for those who complete the evaluation, and 10 crew members
will complete the evaluation each year for a total of 1.67 hours (10
crew members x 10 minutes) TSA estimates the total annual hours for
this information collection to be 61.17 (10 + 49.5 + 1.67) hours.
