not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it
displays a valid OMB control number. The ICR documentation will be

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

Information Collection Requirement
Title: TSA Claims Application.

Forms(s): Supplemental Information Form, Payment Form and
Authorization for Disclosure of Protected Health Information Pursuant
to HIPAA.
Affected Public: Members of the traveling public who believe they
have experienced property loss or damage, a personal injury, or other
damages due to the negligent or wrongful act or omission of a TSA
employee within their scope of employment, and who decide to seek
compensation by filing a federal tort claim against TSA.
Abstract: TSA adjudicates tort claims pursuant to the Federal Tort
Claims Act (28 U.S.C. 1346(b), 1402(b), 2401(b), 2671-2680). OMB
Control Number 1652-0039, TSA Claims Application, allows the agency to
collect information from claimants to examine and resolve tort claims
against the agency.

Form 600, Authorization for Disclosure of Protected Health Information
Pursuant to HIPAA. If TSA requires information protected by Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in order to fully
adjudicate a claim, claimants are asked to complete TSA Form 600 to
provide TSA with the claimant's: (1) name, (2) date of birth, (3)
social security number, (4) address, (5) a description of the
information to be disclosed, and (6) signature.
