OMB Control Number: 1652-XXXX.
Form(s): N/A.
Affected Public: Airport and Aircraft Operators.
Abstract: Consistent with the requirements in section 1922 of the
TSA Modernization Act, TSA intends to collect RTWT data voluntarily
submitted by airport or aircraft operators. See Division K of the FAA
Reauthorization Act of 2018, Public Law 115-254 (132 Stat. 3561; Oct.

airport or aircraft operators to provide TSA with real-time insight
into the operational tempo of the TSA checkpoint, and which data TSA
will share publicly via the MyTSA mobile application. TSA has designed
an internal dashboard and Application Programming Interface to ingest
and store the RTWT data in 60-second or less intervals. The data will
be collected electronically, as determined by agreement with the
relevant airport operator, or aircraft operator. The data being
collected is aggregated wait-time data across the various screening
lane configurations (e.g., TSA PreCheck[supreg], Standard, or any
combination of screening types (e.g., Blended)) and does not contain
any personally identifiable information.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 348.\1\

\1\ Since the publication of the 60-day notice, TSA adjusted the
annual number of respondent airports from 450 to 348, and the annual
time burden hours from 328.725 hours to 0. See Supporting Statement,
Part A for further discussion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated Annual Time Burden Hours: 0.
Estimated Annual Cost Burden: 0.
