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 made
available at <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov">https://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 1652-0069; Military Severely Injured Joint
Support Operations Center (MSIJSOC) and Travel Protocol Office (TPO)
Programs. TSA established the MSIJSOC and the TPO programs to support
and facilitate the movement of wounded warriors, severely injured
military personnel, veterans, and other travelers requiring an escort
through the airport security screening process. The MSIJSOC and TPO
programs are available at commercial airports within the continental
United States and its territories.
The MSIJSOC program works with passengers who are wounded warriors,
severely injured military members, and veterans. Once flight
arrangements are made with the airlines, the traveler, his or her
family, or other representative may contact the TSA Cares Hotline no
later than 72 hours prior to their scheduled flight time with the
details of the itinerary. TSA collects the traveler's name, travel
itinerary (flight departure and arrival information), and a point-of-
contact's mobile phone number. Once TSA collects this information, TSA
Cares contacts MSIJSOC, where the staff vets the request via the
appropriate Wounded Warrior Care Coordinator to verify the eligibility
for an escort of a wounded warrior, severely injured military member,
or veteran. After verifying eligibility, the MSIJSOC contacts the
respective TSA official at the appropriate airport for action.
Additionally, the TPO program facilitates the movement of foreign
dignitaries, accredited Ambassadors to the United States, and others
who may require an escort through the airport security screening
process. These travelers may contact the TPO office by submitting a
request for travel support via telephone. Travelers and their points-
of-contact should submit their travel support requests no later than 72
hours prior to the respective scheduled flight to allow TSA to make
timely notification regarding the travel. TSA collects the traveler's
name, travel itinerary (flight departure and arrival information), and
a point-of-contact's mobile phone number.
The estimated annual burden for this collection is 444.7 hours. The
estimated number of annual respondents is 5,336, with each response
taking approximately 0.08333 hours (444.7 = 5,336 x 0.08333).
