Information Collection Requirement
Title: Military Severely Injured Joint Support Operations Center
(MSIJSOC) and Travel Protocol Office (TPO) Programs.
Type of Request: Extension.
OMB Control Number: 1652-0069.
Form(s): TSA Form 412, Travel Support Request and TSA Form 417,
Screening Assistance Notification.
Affected Public: Wounded warriors, severely injured military
personnel, foreign dignitaries, accredited Ambassadors to the United
States, and other travelers requiring an escort through the airport
security screening process.
Abstract: Under the Aviation and Transportation Security Act
(ATSA), TSA is responsible for security in all modes of transportation
including screening operations for passenger air transportation and for
carrying out such other duties relating to the transportation security
as it considers appropriate. See sec. 101(a) of Pub. L. 107-71 (115
Stat. 597; Nov. 19, 2001), as codified at 49 U.S.C. 114. Under ATSA,
TSA established the Travel Protocol Office (TPO) Programs to assist
foreign dignitaries, accredited Ambassadors to the United States, and
other travelers requiring an escort through the airport security
screening process.
The Helping Heroes Fly Act directs TSA to develop and implement a
process to support and facilitate the ease of travel and, to the extent
possible, provide expedited passenger screening services for severely
injured or disabled members of the Armed Forces and severely injured or
disabled veterans through passenger screening. See sec. 2 of Public Law
113-27 (127 Stat. 503; Aug. 9, 2013), as amended and codified at 49
U.S.C. 44927. Consistent with these requirements, TSA established the
MSIJSOC program to support and facilitate the movement of wounded
warriors, severely injured military personnel, and severely injured or
disabled veterans.
To implement the MSIJSOC and TPO programs, TSA must collect the
passenger's name, flight itinerary (scheduled flight departure and
arrival information), and contact information to successfully
facilitate movements through the screening process at U.S. airports and
its territories. TSA shares this information with airports on the
passenger's itinerary to coordinate efforts, synchronize seamless
transitions with the affected parties, and protect security operations.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,336.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 444.7.
Dated: December 16, 2024.

TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Information Technology.
