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
[[Page 80912]]
(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 1652-0002; Airport Security Part 1542. The
information collection is used to determine compliance with 49 CFR part
1542 \1\ and to ensure passenger safety and security by monitoring
airport operator security procedures. The information collection and
other recordkeeping requirements that currently fall under this OMB
control number are associated with an airport operator's compliance
with TSA's regulatory requirements, including the following: (1)
development of an Airport Security Program (ASP), submission to TSA for
review and approval, and implementation; (2) as applicable, development
of airport operator requested or TSA-required ASP amendments and
temporary changed conditions, submission to TSA for review and
approval, and implementation; (3) collection of data necessary to
complete a criminal history records check (CHRC) for those individuals
with unescorted access to a Security Identification Display Area
(SIDA); (4) submission to TSA of identifying information about
individuals to whom the airport operator has issued identification
media, such as name, address, and country of birth, in order for TSA to
conduct a Security Threat Assessment (STA); and (5) information
collection and recordkeeping requirements associated with compliance
with the regulation, employees who have access privileges to secured
areas of the airport, and compliance with Security Directives (SDs)
issued pursuant to the regulation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ In July 2016, OMB approved TSA's request to revise OMB
Control Number 1652-0002, by including in it the recordkeeping
requirements under OMB Control Number 1652-0006, Employment
Standards, which also applies to 49 CFR part 1542. This action
combined two previously-approved ICRs into this single request to
simplify TSA collections, increase transparency, and reduce
duplication.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TSA will continue to collect information to determine airport
operator compliance with other requirements of 49 CFR part 1542. TSA
estimates that there will be approximately 435 airport operator
respondents to the information collection requirements described above,
with a total annual burden estimate of approximately 2,147,899 hours.
Dated: September 30, 2024.

TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Information Technology.
