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

Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and approval of the following

(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

Abstract: TSA is seeking an extension of the ICR, currently

scheduled passenger air transportation.\1\

public charter flight crew members.

TSA currently collects biographical information from crew members
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
sheet provided in the classroom. In addition, TSA asks each crew member
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: 795.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An estimated 61.17 hours annually.
Dated: September 6, 2024.
