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 is 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
Title: Security Programs for Foreign Air Carriers.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652-0005.
Forms(s): N/A.
Affected Public: Foreign air carriers.
Abstract: TSA uses the information collected to determine
compliance with 49 CFR part 1546 and to ensure passenger safety by
monitoring foreign air carrier security procedures. Foreign air
carriers must carry out security measures to provide for the safety of
persons, property, and cargo transported on aircraft provided by the
foreign air carrier against acts of criminal violence and air piracy,
and the introduction of unauthorized explosives, incendiaries, or
weapons aboard an aircraft. The foreign air carrier's security program
must provide a level of protection similar to the level of protection
provided by U.S. aircraft operators serving the same airports, and the
foreign air carrier must employ procedures equivalent to those required
of U.S. aircraft operators serving the same airport, if TSA determines
such procedures are necessary to provide a similar level of protection.
This information collection is mandatory for foreign air carriers and
must be submitted prior to entry into the United States. The TSA
information collection includes providing information to TSA as set
forth in the carrier's security program, which includes any amendments;
maintaining records of compliance with 49 CFR part 1546 and the foreign
air carrier's security program, including security training records;
suspicious incident reporting; and submitting identifying information
on foreign air carriers' flight crews, passengers, and cargo.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 180.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 241,485.
Dated: December 2, 2024.
Christina A. Walsh,
TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Information Technology.
