OMB Control Number: 2120-XXXX.
Title: International Traveler Information Card.
Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this
information collection.
Type of Review: New information collection.
Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on May 1, 2024 (89 FR 35298). The International Traveler
Information Card (ITIC) is an electronic form that FAA employees and
contractors will complete prior to international travel on official
business. The purpose of the form is to collect pertinent data to be
used in the event a FAA employee and/or contractor are isolated
overseas and require lifesaving assistance. This data will assist in
the government's ability to properly identify individuals and provide,
if necessary, medical support and personal items to FAA employees and
contractors should they be isolated overseas.
The authority for this collection resides in Presidential Policy
Directive (PPD)/PPD-30, 22 U.S.C. 4802 and 22 U.S.C. 3927. The duty of
an agency with employees in foreign countries is to ensure they fully
comply with all applicable directives of the Chief of Mission. In order
to protect FAA personnel on official duty abroad, the ITIC documents
the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of FAA employees and
contractors to help aid in their authentication and recovery. The ITIC
requests the following PII: Name, Date of Birth, Gender, Height,
Weight, Hair and Eye Color, Clothing and Shoe Size, Race/Ethnic Group,
Blood Type, Scars/Marks/Tattoos, Known Medical Conditions, Current
Medical Prescriptions, Allergies, Contact Information, Specialized
Training, Language(s) Spoken, as well as information about their
Emergency Contact. The traveler will also create a Duress Word and
Personal Authenticator Statements to aid in the identification.
This information will not be available to the public, and will be
managed in accordance with applicable Records Management and Privacy
Act policies. Only two International Travel Security Program Managers
and the Senior Watch Officer of the Washington Operations Center can
retrieve ITICs to aid employees and/or contractors during an isolating
event, as determined by the Chief of Mission. The Chief of Mission,
relying on situational factors, will make the ultimate decision on who
this information is shared with, such as, but not limited to, the
Department of Defense, in the event of a personnel recovery event.
Respondents: The FAA estimates that there will be 35 respondents
based on the average number of contractors who travelled
internationally on official business in fiscal years 2023-2024.
Frequency: As needed.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 0.5 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 17.5 hours for all responses.
Issued in Washington, DC, on November 8, 2024.
Michelle Salter,
Executive Director, FAA, Office of Investigations and Professional
Responsibility.
